I mean if they get to the ECF and lose to the nets that’s probably not blow up. The nets would be the favorite in that series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it seems the 6ers already know that. Just havent pulled the trigger on it, or been able to pull the trigger on it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they really haven’t gotten the right deal besides possibly Hardin which wasn’t happening cause of the rockets owner. I’m guessing if lillard asks out (more smoke around it now then ever before) there’s a chance he comes here. I could see the blazers not getting a player like Simmons and first round picks combo from another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he happens to be really talented which is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not be saying it but I will: Ben doesn’t love playing basketball. if they fall short this year and finally move Ben, I’m good with handing the reigns to Maxey next season and see if he can handle it.

Blazehound Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 The playoff board fell just about as good as you could have asked for. Hopefully the team gets some much needed R&R and practice time. They’ve got to figure out a solution to the Embiid double team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a quality I have loved at more lately and perfect example is LaMelo, dude just looks like he is having so much fun and loves to hoop. I think that quality rubs off on teammates and Hornets definitely exceeded expectations because of Ball. Ben, Aaron Gordon, Wiggins, Oladipo, Harrison Barnes and a few others are guys to me who just play because they were blessed. They don't care about being great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khani1 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Really gotta hope that Denver beats Portland in the first round. Dame might become available then and we have the most assets to make that trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a shot against Denver simply cause murray is out but i still expect Denver to win that series. Even if they do get by Denver they face likely the lakers (I’m guessing they eat the warriors in the play in tournament) or Suns. They aren’t winning that series. At some point lillard has to realize that the blazers aren’t going anywhere. It’s been the same story every year with one blip on the radar where they got to the WCF and got destroyed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a Knicks team coached by Thibs, so to say the Sixers will be too physical for the Knicks is just dumb. Dude has gotten a Knicks team with Randle and a bunch of castoffs to the 4th seed for a reason. Now, if you want to say the talent gap is too wide because the Knicks play Taj Gibson 20 minutes then absolutely agree. Trae Young better be prepared for some 90s Jordan vs Pistons stuff in the 1st round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Knicks are set up similar to the sixers in terms of defensive first team that’s solid but not great offensive. Sixers imo are better offensive especially with embiid on the floor. However i think the Knicks lack as much talent as the sixers and less experience in terms of playoffs with their guys. Not that the sixers have a ton experience but it’s still more than the Knicks. Thibs and rivers are both good coaches. I would expect the Knicks to be a hard physical series. I just think the sixers would win it in 5 at worse maybe 6. The hawks really lack playoff experience besides gallinari and Lou Williams. But man can they shoot the rock. They’ve also in the past given the sixers issues particularly in atlanta. I still think the sixers win the series but i could see the hawks winning two games that series of their guys like young, gallinari, bogdanovic, williams and Collins go off. They can go 9 deep. Heck they have 9 players averaging double figures. I think experience and coaching would catch up to them but give them 2 years i think they are going to be a really fun team and contender especially if they add a big piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khani1 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I am not worried about the first round whatsoever. Worst case, we will win 4-2 but 4-1 is highly likely. A sweep is in the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are playing two extra games at worse but really still 8 games less than a normal regular season of 82 fee bad for the Suns been over a decade since they made the postseason to have to likely play the lakers in round one who’s likely he favorite if healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
