Their uneven nature will be apparent in the finals, assuming they play a healthy opponent. No one in the east has a chance to give them much trouble unless the bucks survive and get healthy. Which is extremely unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think the stat was the Heat were 23/46 on 3 pointers. Franchise record. A total anomaly was the only way it could have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what they're supposed to do, not lose by double digits to this same squad without Jimmy Butler in Boston. That's what lead to this conversation.

What you both said was that the Celtics were “inconsistent” and “hadn’t learned previous lessons” all because they lost 1 game in a series that required to Heat to shoot at an all-time historical clip. It was typical individual game fan over-reactions. 😜 The Celts then went on to win 3-straight… including a home victory… by an average margin of approx 30 points. And won the series 4-1.. which next to a sweep is still dominant. So I wouldn’t dare call that team “inconsistent”. And the Celtics ^did^ show they learned something from last year. And Tatum told us so too 😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropping that game 2 was a red alert to something we've seen for years from them, not an overreaction, more like "here we go again". Celtics completely overpowered what was left of that team...I'm not always right, but I'm suprised you already calling they provide folks wrong and they got at least 3 more rounds to go.

Yes, the Celtics should be the heavy favorite to come out of the East. I think my Knicks are the best chance of knocking them off… but I wouldn’t bet they will. I’d be content with a long contested series. And while I’d love the Celts to get beaten by another underdog… I wasn’t getting excited over that game 2 loss. That wasn’t nearly enough to make me think that team is in any way vulnerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn’t nearly enough to make me think that team is in any way vulnerable. Ah, see to clarify, I don't think anyone felt they weren't coming out the East, I said that earlier in the thread seems like the path was ironed flat for them now. I remember saying last time they were in the Finals I didn't trust having a team with those kind of expectations with a coach that young and inexperienced. Them being so inconsistent at home in the postseason was a big reason why. Good for them they might make it back to the finals, but if they still wanna drop gimmies at home and barely be over .500 in the playoffs at home...they won't win the Finals doing that. Said that 2-3 years ago, that did look like same old same old, but we'll see. Rather see Knicks beat then as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I can see his position, that Suns roster should have done better in the post season with everyone healthy. They wildly underachieved. Makes me think there’s a locker room issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they are going to somehow trade him and bring back another win now player makes the better/more likely to stay healthy that doesn't make sense. But I can't see how/who would give up such a player. They don't own any of their own 1st round picks out right until after 2030. Every 1st round pick either belongs to somebody else or is subject to swap. The Sixers on the other hand should absolutely look at moving Embiid (and Maxey).

I don’t see how the Bucks get better from here, is what I’m trying to say. They don’t have picks like you said, they don’t seem to have a way to keep building around Giannis, Dame and Middleton. Giannis is a little dinged up, Dame’s still good but getting older and Middleton is always hurt. They have a nice supporting cast but Milwaukee isn’t a free agent destination for superstar talent. They had to trade for Jrue, then trade for Dame. Giannis and Middleton were draft picks. So like I said, I don’t see where they go from here that makes sense with the current team. As you said, they don’t have any first round picks for awhile. Should trade everyone and get some picks and try to build it up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Bucks need to stay healthy to know what they really are in the playoffs. They shouldn't be a first round exit. Man, remember when folks was wondering if that was one of the best 1-2 players on a single team, either could go off, possibly both at same time? Gentle reminder you don't win on paper, you win on the court. I second blowing up the Sixers. Suns, Lakers, too. I hear a lot of defense to keeping Warriors together and they didn't even make the playoffs. Don't be like me, stop being idealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Bucks started off on the wrong foot by hiring a nobody to be head coach that ownership clearly didn’t trust. They shouldn’t have fired coach Bud. Ultimately though, yeah the injuries killed them. No team is the same with their MVP caliber player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a failure of a season, but I don’t think the Bucks need to make changes. a healthy Giannis and a healthy Dame would make a big difference. If any teams deserves to run it back it’s the bucks imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
