Miami is the correct answer. Anybody else is a cop out.

Honestly, it would be hilarious if Joe started PP, Hauser, Kornet, Svi and Brissett in the first game.

All game planning out the window for the opposition and a big **** you to them.

Of course if it backfired then Joe should just resign, but it would be amazing still. :lol:

Hey Tatum did promise at the begining of the season he would come off the bench one game this year. Mightiest well make it happen.

:lol:

I forgot about that....it's been the plan all along! :o

Nic Batum, with a Great block.

Not that I've seen all that many of Batum's games, but this is the best I've ever seen him play, lol.

Do we want the Bulls or Hawks to upset the Heat?

How badly is Jimmy hurt?

Chicago for sure. Seems like the Celtics are getting a 7 game nail biter with Miami.

It's not guaranteed Miami is the #8 seed.

Butler got hurt in this game.

I wouldn't be surprised if Atlanta takes out Miami.

But if it's Miami, sweep!

If Spo is so great, he'll have a 5-point play here.

It doesn't matter.
Miami would have been nice, to exorcise our Demons.

But again, it doesn't matter.

Embiid looks cooked! Hands on his knees the whole game and walking up the court. Barely making an effort to switch on screens. Brunson will take his lunch next in round 1 at that rate.

Yes it is. They weren't locked in tonight and it showed. Neither was Philly. Miami wanted Boston, they probably are going to get Boston. If the Celtics can get past them they'll win the east. The two biggest obstacles for this squad aside from health is Miami and Denver.

There's almost zero chance the Celtics sweep them unless something nuts happens.

Well I'd rather have the Heat eliminated early , don't need the scrubs building confidence for 2 rounds.
