I know the east had more 50 win teams than the west but it still is a very weak conference 1. Raptors - chokers 2. Celtics - missing top 2 players but playoff tested 3. Sixers - A year too early, getting their experience 4. Cavs - Still gonna win dragging this apathetic and pathetic team to yet another finals appearance. It's too bad Kyrie and Hayward aren't playing. That ECF would have been very interesting. I was hoping Rockets/Warriors would be but the closer it gets to reality the more I see Warriors in 5 at most 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick question for you..I actually want to make a small bet on the 76's winning the series, but cant see that there is a line for that on Bovada...maybe you are better at that sight than me?

Well my age group wasn’t old enough to enjoy the original big 3. All I remember is Larry Bird’s bad back and some miracle three against the Pacers one series. Reggie Lewis was the only good player until Walker and Pierce had a few good runs. Plenty of years watching Radja, Gamble, and Sherman Douglas dropping his floater.

Buftex Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Great effort by the 76ers last night. Not sure I can fathom them keeping up that intensity for another 2 or 3 games...that was kind of a role reversal of the first 3 games...one team playing insane defense, the other chucking up stupid shots...

The Lakers have won 5 championships in the last 20 years. I'll take that over drafting well. Further the Lakers either drafted at the end of the round or not at all due to trades.

Buftex Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Great game tonight. Honestly I was expecting the 76ers to go down a little easier than they did. Really good team. Honestly hadn't seen a lot of them this year, until the playoffs. Can't wait for this series against the Cavs. Celtics will obviously have their hands full, with LeBron...but I am not counting them out. Pulling for a Celtics/Rockets finals re-match!

YoloinOhio Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 The Cs won that series 6/22/17 when Danny Ainge outsmarted the Sixers by moving from the 1st pick of the draft to # 3 in trade with Philly. Cs got an additional 1st rd pick and still got their guy they wanted all along in Tatum & sixers got Fultz, who DNP. Tatum made a serious case for ROY and has been arguably the most important player for the Celtics in the playoffs so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming that Stevens is doing a lot of work that most pro coaches don't bother or cannot do. Hope we don't have sweeps in the semi-finals.

row_33 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I look forward to the rebirth of a Sixers/Celtics angry rivalry for the next 5 or so years. I much enjoyed the Bird/Doc battles, in certain ways it was better than the Bird/Magic rivalry, but that isn't a winning argument... The Hondo/Cowens years didn't mingle for a Boston/Philly rivalry, the C's were falling apart just as Doc came into the picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
