Harden's legacy is legit on the line during these playoffs. Could still be playing on the Nets stress free if he waited for just a couple more weeks.
Bring on the Hawks. I don't see the Cavs winning.
Game 1 for Miami is Sunday at 1pm.
Lets goooooooooooo!

Damn it sucks Dejounte had a bad nite, I just saw that he dropped 10 pounds in 2 weeks with whatever illness he had. Huge bummer this happened right at the end of the season.
Did he really have a back epidural or not?
Given Nash plays kyrie and kd 45 minutes a night with little regard, does anyone else suspect him and the team is pressuring Simmons to play?? Like kd felt pressured after his calf
If the Nets get farther then the 76ers this year, oh lawd there is gonna be hell to pay in Philly. On top of that if Simmons comes back and meaningfully contributes to a finals run/win? Can you imagine a more nightmare scenario for 76ers fans?
The second segment on First Take today was literally "Can The Hawks Upset the Heat in the First Round of the Playoffs?"
Had me like damn they really have zero respect for the Cavs.

Imagine too if Ben Simmons suddenly starts shooting with his dominant hand and shoots 40% from three, scoring 30 PPG and winning FMVP???
(the 76ers and Nets are going to lose in the first round. Simmons has no chance of contributing positively after all this time off and Harden is simply old and declining rapidly)
This either gonna be a good idea or terrible idea. No in between
Tanking so blatantly the league had to change draft lottery rules while never even making a conference finals is already a nightmare. Philly is proof that basketball gods do exist.
Poor Cavs. I'm pulling for you, Cleveland!
(so Indy gets your pick...)
Ben needs to play game 1 to have the Celtics confused with no game plan
Like when the Celtics were the first team to play the new look cavs after LeBron traded everyone, the Paul pierce jersey retirement game
By game 4 they'll know how to defend KD and Kyrie and just play zone to let Ben shoot from 3/long 2's

They already had that when they let Butler walk to the Heat, the 76ers got swept in the first round and the Heat made the Finals. It would just be deja vu.
Brad will descend from the rafters like the undertaker.
How is contributing in a playoff series a dumb plan?
Not going to lie: I'm no fan of the Nets but if Simmons comes back and on the first possession, dribbles the ball up the court and nails a three... that would be kinda awesome.
Still don't think Ben plays in this series and would be legit surprised to see him in Boston.
I can't decide what level threat I think the Hawks would be to the Heat if they win. Classic strength vs. strength, weakness vs weakness matchup. I'm not a huge believer in the Hawks but do think they're a dangerous lower seed. I really think the Hawks can be a terrifying offense - they are good enough to be able to get good shots against elite defense.
The Hawks are a truly abysmal defense - they don't lock up on the perimeter, only decent rim protection at best, sloppy rotations, don't force turnovers - but Lowry, Jimmy and the other wings don't strike me as the type of players to fully exploit those consistently.
But the Heat have like the 3 toughest players in the series. Think they just impose their will.

The Heat's issue is that Butler was fucking horrible in the postseason last year and it's extremely easy for Mobley and De'Andre Hunter to replicate what PJ Tucker and Giannis did against Butler last year.
Not sure Butler can play in the postseason anymore if he can't make shots. We'll see.
Butler managing to completely dodge any criticism for a humiliating postseason last year has been honestly interesting. I think fans and the media just like him too much to criticize him (with the exception of Wolves fans, of course, lol)

It's people doubting he can contribute at least contribute more than one else would. We all know for a fact as soon as he gets the ball, he's gonna be fouled and put on the line to see if can make a free throw. The Celts are gonna go at him hard on offense and defense.
Is he even doing five on five practices yet? Last I heard that was still a no.
Lol right? No player is immune to incompetent front office (not to accuse the current Bulls of this but yea they don't have a good front office track record)
Isn't this the guy who was a restricted free agent and Chicago just matched the Sacramento offer sheet? What is he talking about, that he didn't demand a trade or something?
I'd love to get his thoughts in the alternate universe where he was actually stuck in Sacramento the past four years.
