On the one hand, consenting adults, who cares outside of their spouses/families. on the other hand, drama for the patriots and poor judgement from their HC: hilarious, keep digging lol

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

I fuging hate the sixers and Embiid, such bitches with the refs in their pocket

Finally get some help tonight. Even if we keep winning we need all the help we can get

I agree but he honestly has gotten better about this. Used to be he’d do it like 4-5 times a game, now it’s like 2-3. Overall I’m incredibly happy with his game, his D has been solid and when he is playing his role he’s a solid scorer and one of the few guys who can consistently finish at the rim and provide that threat. Plus he’s electric and LaMelo loves him. Going into the season I was sure he would just be a stop gap here but now I’m reconsidering and could see him continue to be a “core” piece here. Obviously not on the level of the other starters but he is an important cog for this team. We felt his missed presence during his and Moose’s suspensions.

Philly will be a bigger challenge than the Knicks were IMO. George and Embiid are back, not sure about Maxey but Embiid alone is a nightmare matchup for us and Moose. We’ve never really done well against him. Celtics added Tatum but honestly not sure they’re all that much better with him right now than they were when we whooped them a few weeks ago. We should be able to at the very least split these 2, hopefully take both.

Dude fug the hawks they need to start losing here soon. Lucky bastards

Honestly that laziness and dumb play at the end was good for the team, something to keep their egos in check and keep them focused going into the 76ers game. Just lucky we had enough of a cushion for it to not hurt us in game though lol

Is what it is for now, if we can keep building on the momentum of the past few months and have consistent success that’ll change. And as we’ve shown tonight, we can shut them up. I don’t care one bit who we get in the playoffs so long as we make the playoffs. Games like tonight go a long way to making that a reality but it’s still gonna be a battle with the race for 5-10 seeds extremely tight and other teams playing well too.

He was holding his nuts lol. Hope he’s fine

He’s leading the pack but honestly everyone on our team is out hustling everyone on the Knicks. Amazing energy, and credit to Lee. Hated some of his rotations early in the year and we had a few rough close losses when fully healthy that were probably on him, but man he’s got every single dude bought in 110%
