Yeah that was an absolute garbage Hawks team. And Philly was never going to win a ring. Cs had one of the easiest paths in modern history and have nearly fumbled the bag at every chance.

God could you imagine Philly with Butler instead of Harden next to Embiid and no Coc

Not really. They Beat an overrated Bucks team, the Knicks are weak, and this Celtic team isn’t much better. Miami is doing all of this just to get their pushed in for a 3rd consecutive time in the finals.

[D-Wade]

DWade, who are the Heat targeting this offseason?

Ideally Lillard. Maybe KD, but I never liked him and think he's done. Think we also need a backup big for Bam. The options are a joke.

They're a badass team and a lot of fun to watch but I'll be absolutely stunned if Denver doesn't mop the floor with them.

It’s inevitable. Miami getting raped in the finals is their MO these days. Denver is far superior to anyone Miami has faced these playoffs.

Philly has a more dysfunctional environment that Miami does. Not sure if Jimmy would have tolerated that for long.

Tatum getting Sonned by Gabe Vincent on D then forgetting how to dribble the ball on O... jfc

Bulls were 5 minutes away from eliminating Heat in the Play-In game

Dude, they have no one outside of Jimmy. An overpaid Bam and who else? Nobody. This team is absolute dog water and they're 14-3 in the postseason.

My buddy is trying to sell me East winner will be favored in the Finals. Source being regular season records between the Conferences

I think even the Lakers would be slight favorites in the Finals

Think the Bucks would have run away with the le if Giannis didn't get hurt.

Does a trading implosion occur when the Meltics get finished off by the Heat?

No. I wouldn't trade Brown because I'm still unsure in what I'm getting from Tatum. Both still relatively young.

But everyone else is tradeable to me. And it's doable in the NBA (no matter the contract) - home of the shady 3team trade.

Basing it on one series, 4 years ago, where Mr. Pristine Cir stances had the far better team, yet inexplicably nearly lost anyway.

Yeah, a “far better team” when Butler wasn’t even the best player on his team & the Sixers had a better starting lineup (both of which Butler himself attested to at that time)

The Sixers bench was also outplaying the Raptors with FVV looking like 2015 Porker.😂

It would be one thing if “Playoff” Butler didn’t run away from the matchup when Kawhi was annihilating his team for 7 straight games before completely disappearing in Gm 7 when he couldn’t have his was against Danny.

[Bynumite]

At least the Lakers are down 0-2 to the 1st seed and going back to LA.

Losing 2 straight at home to an 8th seed and going on the road now, is up there with the worst playoff choke jobs of all time.

They should consider trading Brown for Lillard since all they want to do is jack up 3s anyway & they have enough defensive talent to cover for him. This would give them a clear “alpha” crunch-time player.

[Cry Havoc]

Lillard needs to be dealt, now, while he can still be a 1A guy on a le contending team.

[DeadlyDynasty]

nah I want him to rot in Portlland

I still think they'll win the series, but this Celtics team is quite possibly the most confounding team I've ever seen.

Maybe in 2k. In real life, the 76ers had abysmal spacing, the ill-fitting starters had played like 10 games together pre playoffs, they had a terrible bench and non peak Embiid was injured/sick.
