Granted last night I think Milwaukee tanked for seeding, but 16 straight to go into the playoffs, past week without Joel, couple games without Dario and JJ. This team could make some serious noise in the early rounds.

The Poojer Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 I think they are young enough and cohesive enough to play it really cool. Their coach is a Pop protege so i am sure he's brought that preparedness to this young group Just now, 26CornerBlitz said: Looking forward to seeing how they handle the intensity of playoff basketball.

row_33 Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 East true rankings? 1st: Cavs if LeBron cares enough 2nd: Sixers if Embiid can play a game without needing 5 off 3rd: The unproven and much maligned softies in Toronto
Bing Bong Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Enjoy the NBA nhl playoffs boys. We enter the true doldrums of sports afterwards. Luckily there's a World Cup.. but I may boycott if there's no USMNT

Hopefully Kyrie and Hayward are a full go next fall. With Hayward and Kyrie? I think the C's would have been favored but I could see Lebron winning it. I'm not excited either but I will still watch. The kids play hard. I think they could have beaten with Cavs with both Hayward and Kyrie. But Hayward was never really there so I’m just going on the team they had with Kyrie and I don’t think they win a 7 game series. I love their young players though, I said I wasn’t excited for the playoffs but I kind of am.

I love their young players though, I said I wasn’t excited for the playoffs but I kind of am. I won't believe anyone can beat the Cavs and more specifically LeBron in the East until someone does it. I know it will eventually happen but until I see it I won't expect it. Year in recap for me: LeBron is so good people take him for granted. He was an animal this year and yet Harden will easily win MVP. Westbrook went back to back averaging a triple double! That is insane! I don't care if his team gives him easy rebounds. That is a heck of an accomplishment and unprecedented. Yet Harden will win MVP easily. Harden after being a disrespected superstar (in my eyes) finally got a running mate on his talent level and it showed. Warriors backslid a bit but I wouldn't be alarmed. They are in that mode we see (like Kobe/Shaq Lakers) where they think they can just turn it on in the playoffs. As a Lakers fan I was really happy with the development of Randle and Ingram. I could finally watch them this year and not expect a loss! I was pleasantly surprised with Kuzma and Randle. I'm really excited for the offseason for once. Speaking of coaching Popovich is fantastic and tough to argue with as the best but Brad Stevens is right there with him. I hate the Celtics but the league is better when they are good. Will be interesting how far he can drag this injured bunch. Sorry Toronto. I still don't buy you as a serious contender. That said these playoff matchups are fantastic. Spurs/Warriors, Timberwolves/Rockets (sorry I'm a Thibs lover), Bucks/Celtics, Wizards/Raptors all have me excited. However the Pelicans and Blazers series is the one I am most looking forward to. Anthony Davis and Damian Lillard going head to head?! Can't Wait!
row_33 Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 thanks Section, we have chosen our names here from seat locations??? I usually provide ballast to sports arguments going too far, as in providing another side to "the Leafs should take the Bruins in 5 at most"... Most fans in Toronto I talk to don't believe the Raps can get by LeBron until they actually do it, this will be 5 years of walking tall in the regular season and wussing out in the playoffs. It's sort of a wide open season, injuries and stars realizing there's no point in caring about the regular season unless they are ordered to on Christmas Day has provided mystery for the postseason. I will be watching...
CommonCents Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Put me in the Lebron won't be stopped just yet camp. Good luck to everyone and their teams.

I did and strangely enough I was row 32 section 122 I don't have too many friends that keep up with the NBA anymore. For most of them basketball ended when March Madness did. NBA Playoffs are one of my favorite sporting events of the year. As you alluded to all year, there is no question that they care and will put forth maximum effort. A motivated LeBron is a beautiful thing. I'm interested to see how Harden and really moreso CP3 handles the expectations of being the top seed. I'm expecting Warriors Cavs again but we shall see!
plenzmd1 Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Just bought my tickets for Game 3 of the Wizards-Raptors series...and what ya know, I am in the front row!!! Wizards playoff games are insanely cheap if you are willing to sit up top..and if I am up top I like the last row so I can stand. Just bought 4 tickets for under $180. And yep, the very last row in the joint!!!! Hopefully game will put the Zards up 3-0!!!!
