Both games will be on TNT. Wizards are on absolute fire right now and both Boston and Charlotte seem to be struggling. Who emerges from this group of 4?
 
wizards over Celtics for the 7
pacers over celtics for the 8

who emerges from the group of 4 means who gets the final 2 playoff spots...i'm predicting the wizards and pacers. do you understand how the play in games work? the loser of the 7v8 plays the winner of the 9v10 for the 8 seed. implicit in my prediction is the pacers beating the hornets.

Thought you were talking to me but then thought "maybe someone very dumb has me on double block."

Yup.

Kemba's on trial...

Society has underrated how good kemba has played for Boston, including last years playoffs.

Others on the Celtics have been overrated

But he’s something isn’t meshing as the whole is way off from the sum of their parts

After the 1st round series against a checked out Sixers Kemba was not good in the playoffs.
 
Kemba needs to stop hunting for those cheap fouls on jumpers and just play, it's the playoffs
 
"Russell Westbrook has just not been his self tonight."

6-18 0-48-8
TS% - 46%
Season TS% - 51%

Not that far off.

Kemba was not exactly good last year in the playoffs after the Philly series. He shot 42% from the field and 30% from 3 on relatively high volume. Hit the 20 point mark 6 times in the 13 games between the Toronto/Miami series. He has played really well the last month or so though, he's averaged 28.1 ppg since April 17th.

In other news, Tatum is a Star. 50 points tonight against Washington. Had 41 through 3 quarters. Kemba had 29 tonight too.

He was still like top 10 or 12 in playoff raptor last year. For the entire league.

Looking at Steph's numbers vs the Lakers in Staples the last few years(even when the Lakers weren't good) is wild. Lakers are already a terrible matchup for the Warriors, tonight's matchup obviously has alot of hype but I feel a letdown coming.

Most overrated and hyped player in the NBA. OKC should have kept Harden and sent Westbrook somewhere else.

I’m curious what Boston does with him this offseason.

They need to keep him and he needs to stay healthy. Tatum and brown are only going to get better. They can be a great team next season but their recent draft picks have not developed well and some of their veteran signings like tristin thompson have been bad. Still need a real quality big.

I think the bassey kid, being mocked in round 2 right now, is a potential second round steal who fits what they need right now.

I’d hate to have to get another big with the mle but I think they’re gonna have to.

Getting no future picks for theis was the surprising part of that trade, not that he was dealt imo.

If he played poorly after that fashion choice the slander headed his way was going to be ugly.

Are we referencing his lime green shoes?

This guy is a sneaker icon in a lot of ways, so me seeing lime green Jordan’s (yuck no matter what) with the classic green Celtics uniforms always makes me scratch my head.

No. The pregame attire I assume, though I'm not going to post a picture lest this thread get punted into the sun.
