I wonder how The Pacers will fare. For the first time in years they got a decent team Giannis being hurt and potentially out will certainly benefit them. They were beating Bucks even with Giannis Pacers are not that good, they can't play defense but they can score the hell out the ball. Since Bucks can't play defense either and that offensive fire power is lacking, it is a bad matchup

So one of Michael Porter Jr's brothers gets banned for life from the NBA for gambling, the the other gets sentenced to prison for a DUI crash?
Damn! What a bad week in that house.

I'm still picking the Sixers to win that series if Embiid is playing, but that dunk was really stupid to try. Not sure why he would try that with a bad knee. It allowed the Knicks to add to their first half lead, and that was a big factor in them being able to come back from the Sixers 3rd quarter run. Kawhi in 2019 was practically hobbling but he was very calculated with how he moved around. Embiid needs to be smarter.

What would happen is Miami wins tomorrow, going to be panic in Boston? All of a sudden do the Heat look like they could come out of the East again? Or will it just be seen as fluky victory? I am not putting anything past the dam Heat.

If the Heat comes out the East, that is an indictment on how piss poor the East is
Boston should go to the Finals imo without much problem

Would not surprise me if the Celtics took the injured Heat for granted and coughed up game 1. I thought the Heat were finished going into Friday night and they survived.

I think Miami could sneak a game in the series cause Boston has a series of f***ing up but they can’t afford to lose this series to this hobbled Miami team

While today it looks like a good day for the higher seeds, I think tomorrow might be a different story. I think at least 2 lower seeds are getting a game 1 victory tomorrow.

The Heat without Butler should still be competitive because of who their coach is, but I don't see them as a threat to the Celtics even if they steal a game. The ECF is going to be Boston against whoever wins the Knicks/Sixers series, IMO. The East is definitely the weakest I can remember it being since maybe the Raptors #1 seed DeRozan/Lowry days, especially with Giannis, Embiid, and Butler all hurt.

That was a game LA could stole as I can't see Bron/AD playing any better then they did today but Denver is just better
Lakers are going to panic if they go down 2-0

Heat / Celtics I have no horse in this. It is a win / win for me. I would love to see the Heat get smoked and sweept out of the playoffs, but if someone takes out the Celtics, it benefits the Knicks. So I don't care either way.

It’s not officially a Miami Heat playoff team until somebody starts throwing cheap shots.

Lakers are going to get swept and after game 4 at the press conference Ham will be like "We got a moral victory and we got some plans to stop Jokic next game"
