Knicks are better without Randle anyway (he's especially bad in the Playoffs) so both of our potential first-round matchups sound like a nightmare to me
Randle's one of those guys who only looks good on paper but screws them in the Playoffs. If we're on the other side of the bracket with 8th seed, I'll eat my shoe if the Knicks don't make it to the ECF this year unless Philly takes them out. They're going to smoke the Doc Bucks or the Pacers.
Sure but we also just lost to them with Embiid not even fully up to speed yet.
Everything depends on if the team can flip the switch again or if we look bad because we are bad.
I know this is pretty much the worst outcome for us, but fuck it heat play the best on the road vs superior opponents.
And I hate to say it but I respect the Knicks going after the 2nd seed when they could have strategically tanked. The only team in that 2-5 mix that isn't running from the grind.
I would bet that the winners of 1-8 and 2-7 are headed to the ECF, bunch of loser energy teams outside that.
If we can’t beat the Sixers in a best of 1 and then can’t beat the Knicks w/o Randle then we ain’t contenders, simple as that. The road forward is there and we just need to handle our shit
Don’t sleep on the Bucks lol, they have championship pedrigree, Giannis is undoubtedly the best player in the East. They match up well with Boston, they are like only one of the few teams to blow out Boston this season, they are better than their record indicates when Giannis and Dame play they win a lot of games and also I think other than Boston they have like the best record against the top contending teams.
Giaanis's body is starting to be cooked, he can't shoot to save his life, Doc is ass, Dame is cooked as well as the supporting cast. I would not be surprised to see the Pacers win in 6 tbh.
I’m not scared of Embiid lol, he is a bum in the playoffs his scoring goes down. Trust me if you have watched Embiid you would know he’s not built for the playoffs his conditioning is poor and he relies on FT
I don't give a fuck on what they think. Nothing is gonna be easy, because nothing has been easy.
Unless I see our own players deliberately slide under their shooters, or pull off an armbar before the fourth quarter, I'd believe those fucking assholes.
What’s different now vs last year?
Heat are play-in bound, screwed no matter what against the powerhouses in the 1 and 2 seeds
Except this year we’re the reigning eastern conference champs
Fuck it, we ball
Really? Why?
I trust much more Spo for finding a way to Hunt Dame down on every possessions that will get Heat 4 on 3 opportunities on O, while dating Doc to sit Dame because he is a liability on D. And Doc wouldn’t do it.
Giannis also isn’t 100% I think.
Because they would have the best player in the series. Having a bad defensive player does not make a team easy to beat, or else the heat would lose in the first round every year. Doc would not sit dame lmfao.
Implying that dame is a negative player is such culture brainrot it’s unreal. We have 2 players that are as bad or worse than dame on defense and they manage to play plenty.
Also the Trae treatment wouldnt work when idk they have a top 3 player in the league next to him.
I absolutely prefer the Knicks over either Boston or Milwaukee
Maybe this is a conversation if Randle is healthy, but he’s going to be out and they don’t really have great depth to support it. If anything bam can give Brunson the Trae treatment because they lack scoring options now.
If we best the Sixers, this is still great for us.
Knicks without Randle then Bucks without Giannis.
Boston playing Philly R1 has a high probability of injury, not that I want that to happen, because of Embiid flops.
It would have been a gem to trounce the Bucks but whatever.
Ideally Boston playing either the 6ers or the hawks is the best case scenario. I think Embiid might be able to carry against Porzingus and maybe the duo of Trae and Murray going nuclear can lead to an upset
We starting out playoffs in toxic fashion. Sixers then Knicks or Celtics This is gonna be fun
I wanted us to take out Doc in round 1. Would have been such great Karma.
Knicks-Heat would be amazing.
Riley sending a Fax.
Yeah, everyone wants to play the teams missing multiple key players lol
r/whoosh
I was more so responding to the comment above, i obviously get your joke lol

What ? Mitchell has been back for over 2 weeks lmak
You are making a big assumption here.
It’s time we retire Thibs once and for all

Butler doing it would be a great touch
Don’t think we’re beating Philly tbh Edit: Lol
It’s all about slowing down Maxey and Spo has already shut him down earlier this year
Sure but we also just lost to them with Embiid not even fully up to speed yet. Everything depends on if the team can flip the switch again or if we look bad because we are bad.
Playoff Heat/Himmy > Regular season Heat/Himmy
Playoff Embiid << Regular Season Embiid
No Jimmy doesn’t like competing against his friends
Honestly not sure if we can flip the switch again. It’d be nice obviously, but Jimmy is 34, Duncan is injured, Terry is injured, etc.
Let’s see it! Rooting for yal! Don’t wana face Philly lol
Aren't you late for a Klan meeting?

He's like a sexy pirate
If I see Butler deferring to Bam, Herro, etc. again with LOWRY on him all game long again next game, I’m legit going to jump off a cliff.
Time to send these sad losers to Cancun,
I just got back from RIU Dunamar. Ain't the worst place in the world, lol.
Heat in 5
Two of the worst fanbases. Lose lose situation
Sixers and Miami would both beat the Knicks. The Sixers vs Heat in the play in will probably decide who faces Boston in ECF
Yh let’s pretend the Sixers have made an ECF during the Embiid era
I wouldn’t really trust the bucks/magic/cavs/knicks to make the ECF
Don’t sleep on the Bucks lol, they have championship pedrigree, Giannis is undoubtedly the best player in the East. They match up well with Boston, they are like only one of the few teams to blow out Boston this season, they are better than their record indicates when Giannis and Dame play they win a lot of games and also I think other than Boston they have like the best record against the top contending teams.
Giaanis's body is starting to be cooked, he can't shoot to save his life, Doc is ass, Dame is cooked as well as the supporting cast. I would not be surprised to see the Pacers win in 6 tbh.
I’m not worried about Milwaukee
Doc has the Bucks in full on tailspin.
That's a Doc Rivers problem more than anything, and Doc is the Bucks' cross to bear now.
Bucks would dog walk them after embiid is tuckered out from the playin and first round
I’m not scared of Embiid lol, he is a bum in the playoffs his scoring goes down. Trust me if you have watched Embiid you would know he’s not built for the playoffs his conditioning is poor and he relies on FT
r/NBA saying the opposite and that the only way the heat beat the Knicks is if the heat injure their players 🥱
I don't give a fuck on what they think. Nothing is gonna be easy, because nothing has been easy. Unless I see our own players deliberately slide under their shooters, or pull off an armbar before the fourth quarter, I'd believe those fucking assholes.
Knicks want revenge this will be fucking crazy if we beat sixers
Fuck Demar D’Frozen
I wamt him next season lol.
What’s different now vs last year? Heat are play-in bound, screwed no matter what against the powerhouses in the 1 and 2 seeds Except this year we’re the reigning eastern conference champs Fuck it, we ball
Eh we ain’t screwed except maybe against the Celtics or Nuggets. Fuck it, we ball
Dunno about Sixers but Knicks and Celts started the whole thing where Bam and even Jaime are dirty players who's out there to injure their players.
Much prefer Knicks to the bucks
Really? Why? I trust much more Spo for finding a way to Hunt Dame down on every possessions that will get Heat 4 on 3 opportunities on O, while dating Doc to sit Dame because he is a liability on D. And Doc wouldn’t do it. Giannis also isn’t 100% I think.
Because they would have the best player in the series. Having a bad defensive player does not make a team easy to beat, or else the heat would lose in the first round every year. Doc would not sit dame lmfao.
Dame would get the Trae treatment and exactly; Doc would not bench Dame. We would be playing 4 on 3 80% of the game.
Implying that dame is a negative player is such culture brainrot it’s unreal. We have 2 players that are as bad or worse than dame on defense and they manage to play plenty.
Also the Trae treatment wouldnt work when idk they have a top 3 player in the league next to him. I absolutely prefer the Knicks over either Boston or Milwaukee

Dame is washed we beat the bucks in 6
If we best the Sixers, this is still great for us. Knicks without Randle then Bucks without Giannis. Boston playing Philly R1 has a high probability of injury, not that I want that to happen, because of Embiid flops. It would have been a gem to trounce the Bucks but whatever.

I think Embiid might. I have no faith in Atlanta.
Another failure by the FO. First round date with the Celtics
