nipples Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 With a healthy Embiid and Maxey, the Sixers really may be the second best team in the East. Bucks COULD have been a problem until our old friend Doc tanked that team. All that said, unfortunately I can’t see them beating Boston. They would need Hield to go on one of his heaters where he just can’t miss for the whole series to have a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khani1 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I hated KJ Martin until about 3 weeks ago. He has shown he can fit in without disrupting the flow of the offense. He reacts quickly with his cuts, passes, drives. He is great in transition and plays decent defense. Yeah, Hield desperately needs to get going. He has been off for a while. I hope Nurse realizes that Tobi should come off the bench for the rest of his time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healthy, this team was able to beat anyone in the league. They've not had their full squad at almost any point throughout the whole season. Agreed with the exception of avoiding the Celtics in round one. I'd rather postpone that match up as long as possible and hope some else pulls an upset before the sixers play them.

NYEagle Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 At first, I was really hoping they would catch the 6th seed and avoid the play in.....and match up against Cleveland/Orlando/Etc. But doing this, even if you win the 1st round, you'd probably have the Celtics in the 2nd round. Now....if you are in the play in as the 7th seed, you're going to have to play Miami which is always a scary proposition but...let's say you beat them. You have the Bucks in the 1st round and honestly, with Doc as a head coach, that doesn't scare me nearly as much and you wouldn't have to play the Celtics until the ECF. Thoughts or preferences? And honestly the way the Bucks are playing, with Orlando, Cleveland and NY right behind them, they might not even hold on to the 2nd seed. This is going to be a wild final games to see who ends up where....... No matter what, the 7th seed negative, you have to have the play in....the positive, avoiding the Celtics for the longest possible time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be difficult with less remaining games and Heat Pacers both have easy games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYEagle Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 based on this, the Bucks may end up the 5th seed lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khani1 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I guess if I’m playing along, the longer it takes to play the Celtics, the better. Gives Joel more time to get in shape and knock off rust. It would also give the team more time to gel. Done playing the game. In reality, I know how this ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20dawk4life Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 So if we win out and the magic, knicks, cavs lose at least 1 we can get the 3 seed right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want Cavs or Magic in the first round if possible. I think Magic need to go 1 3 to hit 3 seed but play Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
