You must be getting a little concerned that the Celtics might have to face the Heat or 76ers in the first round. Ouch first round KO.
reply
Not worried about the 76ers. However, I am quite concerned about the inevitable 1-8 Celtics-Heat first round series. I am also rooting for that matchup more than any other. Can you imagine being Boston and drawing the team that bounces you from the playoffs almost every year in the first round?
reply
I don't know if Embiid comes back healthy and rested, he could be dominant. If.
reply
I've already put him in the Harden category. I'm not going to believe in him as a playoff guy until he makes me.
reply
I think that's fair but I also think he will break through at some point.
I am just sitting and thinking about the Celtics and the Heat or 76ers in the first round and the Nuggets moving into 1st or 2nd and playing the Warriors.

Jokic could be in a walking boot with a broken left hand and still crush Golden State.
reply
Blasphemy. Curry will shoot 30 3's a game if he has to.
How many more months until this bet is settled? Haha

I have seen the future and my Cavs arrow is headed for a bullseye.
reply
That seemed like more of a Boston collapse than anything else. The Cavs are a lot of fun though.
reply
Just like they will collapse in the playoffs. Speaking about collapses. Did the Nuggets even show up for OT last night or they just quit after regulation.
A banner day for The Field!
reply
As I was watching the Nuggets comeback, I was planning on saying something like "Tell me you didn't watch the Nuggets without telling me you didn't watch the Nuggets." I don't believe in Phoenix at all, but they are a team you don't want to be in overtime with.
reply
I don't buy into the Suns either but the field is filled with many flowers that may bloom.

History tells us that you need a top 5 guy to win. I just checked basketball-reference and the top 5 guys are the same for Win Share and VORP:
Jokic SGA Luka Giannis Sabonis (huh?)
The top two are mine. Which of your three guys do you have the most confidence in?
reply
Giannis. Heat take out the Celtics and then Bucks have a clear path to finals against Clippers. Kawhi is a top 5 guy in the playoffs.
reply
I also think Giannis is your best shot, but the Heat have been as big of a problem for him as they've been for Boston.
