Not iso. Hehe.

It's time for the team to start prepping for Miami. No way either of those other teams make it, and if they do, they'll get beaten easily.

I think that the Hawks or the Bulls could beat Miami. They blew a substantial lead tonight and let the corpse of Nic Batum outplay their frontcourt.

Have to agree with you on that.

Plus Jimmy is hurt.

Knee might be swelling tomorrow.

Once again, the only team in the playoffs that scares me is the Celtics. When Tatum slow walks the ball up on every possession and Brown has 7-8 turnovers they could lose to Detroit. If they play the right way they have the talent to beat anyone.

Exactly.
We're our own Best Opponent. Gotta come out and just beat any- and everyone.

Celtics won't even sniff a game 7 all playoffs. I've said that before and was wrong. This team is better than there team.

I doubt they even sniff a game 6 before the conference finals.

Some here are saying Joe is not a good coach, that the Celtics have a hard time executing in the clutch, and Tatum is not consistent.

All that tells you the Cs will go 6 or 7 games in all the playoff series and might even exit the playoffs.

Logic tells us that a bad coach plus an inconsistent star player and the inability to execute in the clutch will result in a playoff exit.

Right?

Joe sucks.

He's the only reason anyone of these series would fall into question.

For now, I'll default to the roster is good enough to win with anyone but another post season like last year and he gone.

Joe isn't great, however the path to the title just got a lot easier with Butler being out. No Jimmy, Giannis, Embiid not at full strength all helps a lot. Just get to the finals and hope the team in the west is not Denver.

Stars are aligned for us in the East. If these guys can stay healthy they should coast to the Finals with plenty of rest days to be fresh. If Denver ends up having a couple extended tough series we'd have a helluva good shot at taking them down.

Kinda wild that this early into the playoffs our path looks this easy...I really hope we just take care of business and disregard any of the injuries and players not at 100%.

Need to stay healthy first and foremost. Shorter series = more rest, less minutes = less probability of injury. Take care of business and get to the semi finals in one piece.

So ready to beat TBD's mother lovin' aces!

We say this now until Jimmy Butler has his leg amputated and replaced with an AI powered pogo stick that allows him to dunk from half court and we’re bounced in six.

Now that Jimmy Butler is gone, I expect a very easy first round. Heat without Jimmy can't do much, and Bulls are a soft team.

Reed is lying.

The Celtics are easier to beat.

Bad coach.

Can't execute in the clutch.

And an inconsistent alpha in Tatum.
