Heat with the 2nd best road record in the East

Won't be a walk over for Philly on Wednesday night @fightinfunbags

Nope. I’m still taking the Sixers though. Just gotta be ready for junk defense and animal ball.

I love this dude he is really good for the league, just a fun guy to have in the NBA

That face though, wow, he looks like a gargoyle or something

They are both easily top 25.

Somewhere in the 10-15 range.

Superstars based on name brand and past accomplishments more so than current impact.

But still very high level players.

'I am just saying- LeBron and DAvis each played over 70 games and they are 8th in the West........I dont know if you can say "easily" anymore.....I think top 25--- but easily might be a bit much.

 

[WiggyRuss]

He meant they would be a 20 to 25 win team without him. Obviously Steph is past his prime as is LeBron. But they are maintaining very strong performances at their age

I agree with "very strong"- however- 8th and 10th in the West when both were healthy leaves me thinking something does not add up......is it empty stats at this point?

The Warriors I guess i understand more since Draymond and Klay have taken big time down swings----- Lakers had Davis for 76 games and the 8th seed with LeBron playing over 70 games? Something does not add up. 19th in the NBA in point differential...

Easily yes.

IMO Laker coaching is holding them back big time.

LeBron isn’t the dude anymore, so he can’t carry a team like he used to be able to.

But to even suggest there might be 25 better players in the league today is crazy talk.

That was Sacramento WITH Monk, not to mention Huerter. The Kings aren't exactly that team now.

True.

Bottom line like others are pointing out, those two are far better than 25th in the league. Try 10-15

Yea I mean I read a stat today where no one had ever shot over 40 from 3 and 70 percent at the rim in the same season and LeBron just did it at 39.

@DJ trip out was ungodly. 16 hours. That was our longest trip out. Usually it’s about 13 hours but 70% of the drive was in rain. Sunday we decided to chunk the drive. We got to James Madison University area in VA. We have 4 1/2 hours to go today.

Celtics fans are so gay. The Sixers should be the 2nd seed but because Embiid gets hurt for 9 weeks they finish 3 games back of the Knicks. I’m sitting here saying “fuck it”! If you want to do something meaningful you have to beat good people on the way. The gap between the Celtics and everybody else is vast. They would be favored going into every potential series vs every team in the NBA. I think maybe 2-3 teams tops can beat them in a series and they’ll likely only have to see one of them on their journey. And yet they still wail and moan like the Mass Holes they are.

Yep huge difference. Monk was their best pure scorer and Huerter was a decent defender and sharpshooter. They will be lucky to win one game in the play-in

Toss-up

Toss-up

Yea they need fox and Sabonis to show up but the real key is if Barnes and Murray get hot from 3 then that’s a game changer

we likely don’t make it far this post season but man this is why I love Jimmy. His irrational confidence always make us heat fans think we got a chance. Just wish some of this can translate to the regular season
