NBA Season 2017/18

[Jay]

Horford has a 6.3 net rating with Irving on the court, and 8.3 with him off it. Anyone picking the Bucks are going overboard on the Giannis love.

Boston has a massive edge in defense, let's not forget who the #1 ranked defense is and you take Kyrie away that side of the ball only improves. And most importantly the coaching advantage - Stevens vs Prunty, that not a fair fight ;D

Only path for Milwaukee is if Giannis has like a 35% USG with 65 TS% type of explosion. I don't think he can do that against this defense.

Celtics are the surest thing in the first round. Bring it on :D

Ouch! Possibly hyperbole.. But am I not allowed to be hyped? We're without our 2 best players heading into a playoffs where we were suppose to be the favourites coming out of the east - obviously that's not the case now, but it can still be fun. It's playoff basketball!

If my original numbers weren't enough for you... The Bucks are 16th in net rating since Prunty took over, the talk that all they needed to do was remove Kidd (yes I know he was terrible) to fix their problems was wrong. They're average. They allow the most shots at the rim out of anyone, and the 8th most % of their threes allowed are from the corner. Their opponents NEVER take long two's. It's such a yuck defensive system.

We're going to be throwing out 5 guys who can switch everything, throwing multiple looks at Giannis whenever we can. I don't think he can go supernova and blow us away - could be wrong. Should be interesting, first round of the playoffs is one of the most fun times of the sporting calendar. :)

I think you will win but in playoff basketball i normally back the team wirh the superstar advantage.

Giannis is easily the best player on the court. He can win a few games alone.

Boston in 6 though.

Im stoked philly cavs ECF totally on the cards

Wiz paying $5.50 to win their series.  I'm starting to lean towards Wiz, Raptors have a history of choking and Wiz have a history of going deep, I think Wall is going to go berserker mode.

The path of destruction continues. 27 point win without JoJo. Teams are going to struggle to win a game in Philly

Anyone see the quote from James? “I’m down 0-1 in the first round, I was 3-1 down in the finals”. The bloke does realise he has a team right?
