Agreed. And Spoelstra is not a terrible coach and I trust the Heat a little more. The real test is when the Sixers go on the road in the playoffs. So many I have seen are automatically putting the Sixers into the ECF. They very well may do it but I am always cautious about teams who are made up of no playoff experience. Should be a fun series either way. First year I can remember in a long time where I am more interested in the East 1st round than the West. The West matchups outside of OKC/Utah do nothing for me.
April 15, 20187 yr Author What an interesting mix of playoff greenhorns, vets, and cast-offs. Oh, and Kelly Olynyk.

I vaguely remember him playing well for maybe the first few games with LSU, but by the time conference season rolled in he clearly shut it down. Dude plays a beautiful brand of basketball. Which is really something considering he cant shoot a lick.
April 15, 20187 yr I know a lot of people just fawn over him but I really don’t like listening to Hubie Brown. He never. stops. talking. And, he uses so many filler words, and says so many unnecessary phrases, “now just watch right here” for one), it’s just a beating. He’s also a referee apologist. I just don’t like him as an announcer. Edited April 15, 20187 yr by Goo Punch
April 15, 20187 yr Author Ilyasova with a double-double in three quarters, just like everyone expected.

But ultimately, he is an announcer. That is just a fact. Edited April 15, 20187 yr by Dr. Teeth

He uses his words to complete full sentences, and in the end, textbook post. And here’s a guy who has +51 reputation points in the short time that he’s been at surly. He was pretty funny when he posted for Shaggy, and now you see him doing the same thing here.

April 15, 20187 yr Yeah... Redick, Belineli and Ilyasova are definitely enough to get the job done. That was an anomaly three point shooting last night but those guys can stroke it. They are going to have to learn how to get stops going down the stretch but they are very difficult to defend between Simmons making plays, Embiid doing his thing and quality shooters to give them spacing to work.
