    Y’all want to see a dead body watch what White Holiday and Brown do to Herro defensively. If he averages more than 6 paint points this series I’ll take Hoosier off ignore

    I'm looking at the box score and laughing at Miami's roster essentially being "Bam Adebayo and 8 guys who weren't enough to trade for 33-year-old Damian Lillard".

    Prob not going to watch a single game of Miami v Boston. I'd be shocked if it isn't a sweep. Besides NHL playoffs is also on so there are better options than this series

    I lived in Minnesota 14 years. You either get on board with hockey or you become that guy who tells people he's never watched a Star Wars movie just to make people mad. I chose the latter and regret nothing. Especially with the high school hockey stuff people go nuts over.

    Brother do you remember when those mid New Jersey teams led by Jason Kidd use to dominate the east? People keep saying this but I remember a time when the East barely had 4 teams that compete with ANY western confrence playoff team :laugh:

    I feel like this year's East is as bad as that outside of Boston. How many West teams do you get through before you find one that's worse than a non-Boston East team? I'd take at least the top 7 in the West over anyone in the East. Again outside of Boston who I also think is extremely overrated

    Boston isn't "extremely overrated" They'd be favored over every team in the league in a 7 game series including Denver (Who I personally think is better than Boston) so let's chill out on that.

    If we're speaking on terms of healthy teams

    Philly, and New York would do fine out west. Milwaukee decided to handicap their team by hiring Doc Rivers but they've got the talent to compete with anyone. I have no idea what happened to Cleveland, Orlando (We stink offense so yea). The East is a more defensive conference than anything else. Which prob is why they get such a bad rap.

    I just find the "East is horrible" stuff to be overblown because I remember when the East was actually horrific. There was a time when the East had zero teams that had a shot at winning a title. They've got at least 3-4 right now with the talent to beat anyone.

    The depth at the top of the East this year is bad because of injuries. I think it's unfair to compare it to the shit show it was back in the Shaq/Kobe era when it just sucked

    The East is so bad that the Celtics offense falling apart in close games won't even matter until the NBA finals

    Mavs absolutely scare the fucking shit out of me, but perhaps this backcourt personnel is just too porous defensively for the playoffs.
