The East has the potential to eventually end up with a very crazy, and "ugly" looking bracket. I think the Heat will take care of the Hawks pretty easily, maybe in 5 games, but won't be surprised to see a sweep.

I voted for two upsets here, but I can honestly see three of them going down. Brooklyn is going to give Boston a run for their money, I think. Especially with their roster. I still do see Boston prevailing in the end. Milwaukee, this year, looks very vulnerable, so I definitely can see Chicago pulling off the upset. And I don't "Trust The Process" enough to have any amount of confidence in Philadelphia's ability to make any noise in the playoffs. So, if I had to pick my sure fire, 100% confident, Eastern Conference upset, it would definitely be Toronto over Philadelphia.

Frankly, I think that there's a better chance that Atlanta wins the series than there is that Miami sweeps.

Monte drafted the wrong Tyrese apparently

hope Scottie’s okay

You know, it’s too bad the whole thing with Simmons didn’t work out, Maxey would have complement him pretty well in the backcourt

The Maxey is better than Fox thing is no joke lol

Bogie with the sweet 0-8 from the floor in game 1 loss to Miami. I’m here to remind people that he’s a coach killer. Atlanta gave him that unmoveable contract (one of worst in NBA for his ability) and Monte didn’t bite. Atlanta has to rely on him giving his 1 or maybe 2 good games in a 7 game series. LOL

Celtics being stinky.

kb02 · Apr 17, 2022

Nets and Celts playing some ugly, iso ball. They each got some elite players, but a team with ball movement crushes both teams. Am impressed by the Celts physicality on the perimeter. Not surprised how they crushed the Kings backcourt this year. Fox, Buddy, and Tyrese were hands down the softest backcourt in the league.

Mr. S£im Citrus · Apr 17, 2022

Hell of a last possession by the Celtics!

Mr. S£im Citrus · Apr 17, 2022

I don't give a damn what anyone says, I love it when a basketball game can be described as a "rock fight."

It really shows why every possession matters, remember when the Nets forgot to stay and wait for the restarting of a possession where Kyrie threw it away to Marcus Smart?

I am here to remind people that after one bad game, one in which Trea Young went 1-12 shooting, a game that was preceded with 2 very good playoff tournament games and one very good month to close the season, dude12 is here to remind people how bad Bogdan is. he does not get many chances, but when he does, he is sure to remind you.

pdxKingsFan · Apr 17, 2022

Is it possible that Bogi is a pretty good player who wasn't worth the contract Atlanta gave him, especially with a trade kicker?

Also, it seemed that at least once Vlade left, he was 100% out the door. But was already flirting with Giannis when he was under contract to us.

Would have been nice if we could have gotten the original deal but water under the bridge and we got DDV anyways so I'm just totally over it.

Tetsujin · Apr 18, 2022

I don’t think Toronto is nearly as close to competing for anything as they seemed to think when they traded their pick and Dragic’s expiring for Thad Young’s corpse at the trade deadline.

It's almost like they were counting on Canada's policies giving them a home-court advantage, without realizing that they still had to win road games, too.

Shout out to Erik Spoelstra's halftime coaching adjustments. This looked like a game that the Hawks might steal, at the half.

Mr. S£im Citrus · Apr 19, 2022

That looked inconclusive to me.

Jimmy making easy work of the Hawks' cone defense

Mr. S£im Citrus · Apr 19, 2022

Butler is balling his ass off.

Their strategy of, "We're going to shut down Robinson and Herro, and force the best player on the team to beat us by himself" does not appear to have worked.

Mr. S£im Citrus · Apr 19, 2022

Shout out again to Spo: Heat got little out of Lowry, nothing out of Adebayo, nothing out of Robinson, and still won. #CoachingMatters
