Josh man if you gush over the team being in 6th place the way you did over Gigatron…

We are in for a real treat.

How do you feel when the M’s are making a run? Hmm?

Lol, so much love is on the way.

Talk to me about Nowell and McDaniels

Wolves avoiding the play-in would be an excellent season for them, regardless of what happens in the playoffs.

Those Washington boys are damn good players

Watched the Celtics last night beat the Thunder to finish the West Coast road trip at 4-0. Tatum is hot. The defense is nails. But I somehow still lack confidence entering the playoffs w/ this team and I don't know why.

Because Larry Bird is not walking through that door

I guess it does beg the question if Tatum is ready to take and make that final shot in a close game on a consistent basis.

The East is wide open. I could see any of the top 4-5 seeds making the Finals.

Goddamn he was so fucking good.

Exactly, the top five teams are separated by just a few games here and there. Three teams are 2.5 games back of first. Crazy. Feels like the NFL.

Both the Bucks and Celtics have the advantage of roster continuity and general good health.

One of the top 2 teams is most likely going to get stuck with the Nets round 1 while lower seeds get to play the Bulls and Cavs.

I'd add the Heat to this as well.

The Heat really haven't had either. Bam missed 7 weeks, Jimmy's only played 49 games.

As of March 4 Bam, Jimmy, Lowry, and Herro had only played 74 mins together for the season. The more updated version from Monday is they've played 51 fourth quarter mins together.

The core group has had a deep playoff run, however. I guess that's what I'm referring to. Lowry is a wildcard, but he's been deep into the playoffs before as well.

As deep as one could possibly go, bro!

Gotcha. I misunderstood what you meant. That loss to the Sixers Monday night has me at my lowest point of optimism this season.
