Paul pierce is so ****ing clutch. Wow
Just hit the game winner at magic
Dude is fun to watch when he's not against you
Aaaaand celtics r division champs
I would be trying to get that 6th seed, you'd rather play the Bulls or Heat a little later when your team has gained more confidence by winning a playoff series.
And how could somebody possibly say they'd rather player Miami or Chicago instead of Indy? Indiana is young with no real star players which is the most important thing in the playoffs. I trust Melo will outplay Granger and Chandler will shut down Hibbert for most of the series.
No way the Knicks would rather play Miami or Chicago before Indiana.
The Knicks might even sweep the Pacers. No chance of that with Heat or Bulls.
So now it comes down to this...Magic are 3 up on us
Magic:
@Jazz L
@Nuggets L
Bobcats W
@Grizzlies L
Knicks:
@Cavs W
@Hawks ?
Clippers ?
@Bobcats W
Hawks and Clips will be tough but dont go to sleep against the Cavs
I think we can very well beat the Hawks and Clippers if Amare comes back close to what he was pre injury..
I'm a bit worried about the Clippers, they've been playing phenomenally lately. Maybe CP3 will give us a win, being Carmelo's buddy and all :P
Clippers game is my biggest worry as well
Orlando fought hard against Boston and showed that they have enough to win a couple of games despite not having DH. That Utah game on Sat is key, that's their most winnable game other than the Bobcats. 3 up with 4 games to play is tough so it's still a long shot for 6th.
The games that ORL have, is back-2-back:
@UTH- 21
@DEN - 22
CHA-25
@MEM-26
I do think that they are going to lose 3/4, but my concern is our team, we should beat the cavs (jinx...), but i cant see us beat the Hawks, its like for years i remember us struggle at the Philips Arena, even when it was The Omni we couldn't pull a series of W's out there.
One time its Dominique & Plastic man(Stacey Augmon) the other is Josh smith etc'...
its a tough place for us and its a key match.
F*ck it, i am ready for the Heat
Question is: Do we keep pushin pretending the Magic beat Utah on Saturday or do we rest Melo (our only remaining superstar for now), perhaps Chandler and tank to play the Bulls (who seem to be the much better matchup for us)?
I have the feeling that the ****ing Heat will sweep us. We don't match up well with them at all, Chicago with a semi-fit Rose seem to be the much better matchup for us. Games were always close with them and we even won there last season against the same team (minus Hamilton).
I'd rather play the Bulls than the Heat tbh. That loss last weak at home was tough to take. Melo had his superman cape on, we played pretty well and still had no chance against Miami.......
Last month I thought they're the better matchup, but now I have to admit that we have zero chance against them in a Playoff series.
The whole situation is ****ed up anyway, another first round exit is knocking on our front door....dammit. We could have easily had that 4th seed, EASILY. **** you Charlotte, Toronto and Sacramento for playing hard against us and beating us
