Didn’t get around to watching this one but looks like Pistons played their starters and actually tried…? Unlucky that they sit vs Magic, etc and try vs us. Hopefully we can beat the Heat and then Magic or 6ers with no Embiid. BUT if not, the NBA really should give us the lottery win this year like they did Mavs last year. Another high pick could be our final missing piece and have us as legit top contenders next year and going forward if we’re healthy. Or trade it for a Giannis type

You are such a clown, the Panthers and Hornets seasons this year could not have been more fuging different

Quite the fuging revelation lol. Now if we can win the last 2 there is an ok chance we can get seed 7 or 8 (4 chances for a team to beat Philly or Orlando once), and even if not we host the Heat then likely get the 76ers with no Embiid — a scenario I’d absolutely bet on us making the playoffs.

I don't see orlando losing again

Looking like the most likely scenario to make the playoffs will be needing to beat Miami at home and then go on the road vs Orlando. Honestly, I kinda like our odds if that is the case. Miami will be tougher but Orlando is trash and we matchup well against them. If they somehow were to upset Philly in the 7/8 game I'd have zero confidence going into Philly lol.

Nah but I would be a bit surprised if he’s on the roster in 2 years

Lol I read that somewhere when I saw news of the visit, I don’t watch college football so know nothing about him. Stupid visit then

True but doesn't he have a pretty big arm at least?

True there’s a decent chance Pistons and Knicks will have nothing to play for. Wolves and Celtics on the road will be tough but if we can split those, take care of business against the Pacers and then Pistons/Knicks rest starters we’d be in great shape to get the 7/8 seed.

Great win. We've been absolutely dominant against bottom feeders so no worries about tomorrow. The last 4 are seriously tough though. Gotta win enough to stay in the 8 seed.

dude I don't give a crap who we play as long as we get into the playoffs. Obviously the season is already a success but man it'd hurt to get a 9 or 10 seed and lose in the play in round after how well we've played the last 3 months

On the surface it appears that way but I don't think it's this simple. Rivera had Gettleman and Hurney as GMs, McD had Beane the entire time. Allen's prime has lasted wayyy longer than Cam's did. And while Rivera's record in Washington looks awful, given the context of the dumpster fire they were under Snyder I think he did well there all things considered.

Offseason discussion as we await the draft… With McD getting fired recently I thought this would be an interesting question. Rivera had the higher peak with 15 win season and a SB appearance. McDermott obviously had way more sustained success but he had Josh Allen for way more of his prime than Rivera had Cam for. I’d argue McD also had the better GM and overall rosters, despite Rivera having a few more elite talents than him. Both defensive minded guys although the Bills never really had an elite D under McD while Rivera had some incredible defenses (albeit with McD as DC for the best one in 2013). Rivera’s Washington tenure was rough on paper but I think he did solid to make the playoffs even with a losing record under that atrocious owner. Who would you pick for HC of the two?

Frustrating weekend but I think we'll bounce back. 6 seed off the table and 7 will be tough but I still think we can get to 8.

Grant and LaMelo just sold . fug man
