What's everyones prediction for tomorrow? I think we go into Atlanta and get a win and then lose the next series.  John Collins is out and Heyward, i'll be honest the team doesnt even need him anymore. 

Agree. It'll be interesting though. The guys play high octane every game so on one hand I think they're ready for the playoff intensity, on the other hand they're not going to win a series playing their inconsistent defense.

this has been a team that plays up and down to our competition, so it's possible.  I just want our young guys to get as much post season experience as possible for the future.

The game will tell us if understand how serious the post season is, especially in the play in...win or go home.  If we play very well and lose, I'm ok with that, but if show up and lay an egg, it means we still have a lot of growing to do.

Looking like the Hawks then the Cavs if we win. I'd rather have the Cavs in the 2nd game, less playoff experience on their roster and if our shots are falling we have a good shot. Remember last year Melo had a fuged up wrist and Malik Monk was out there shooting like 10%.

Looks like we're winning tonight and will get Boston. If you guys beat Atlanta, then the Cavs ... you think you can beat Miami? I forget, is it Miami or Chicago that's been playing average lately?

Kind of both tbh but Chicago has definitely been the worst out of the two.

I think we could potentially take Miami to 6 games.

Other teams have done that sort of thing before. The NBA should put their foot down on that sort of thing.

Yeah it’s ridiculous… I mean it was blatantly obvious… Jru Holiday played less than a minute so he could get his bonus and then he went to the bench while Sandro Mamukelashvili, Thansis Antetokounmpo, Jordan Nwora, Jevon Carter, Rayjon Tucker, and Lindell Wigginton played the rest of the game…

Shouldn't a team have that right though? NFL teams rest starters all the time. Yeah, they wanted an easier 1st round foe ... but if you're given the chance to do it you should be able to. As a Nets fan, I'd much rather face Boston anyway.

I think at that point you risk the integrity of the game. Boston could have easily done the same thing and they chose not to.

At the end of the day it’s still going to happen but let’s not make it obvious.

What the Bucks did would be on par with Brooklyn just playing Claxton, Duke, Edwards, Sharpe, Thomas, Griffin, and Dragic.

Most people going with the Hawks tonight… but whatever happens I’m okay with, this draft is deep so being able to get a player like Agbaji or Williams would be a nice consolation prize.

Correct and we're probably losing Bridges in the offseason because we can't afford him. Sigh.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
