I think any of the bottom 4 teams could have "upset" them.

Probably. 3-8 has been close all season. Portland was a good team this year. Obviously it’s not over yet either.

If Steph isn’t healthy this team is a threat to GS next round if they get past Portland.

It’s funny how even late first round picks have become so overrated that everyone thought NO was crazy for sending an early 20’s pick to the Bulls for Mirotic. I doubt they are regretting that right now.

It would have been a goos time for Kawhi to stop acting like a bitch.

Jrue’s having easily one of the best games of any player this postseason so far right now

I think it was just a fluke game. Wade has a history of doing that against better seeds. I’d be very surprised if Miami wins another game, regardless of Embiid’s status.

They'll win another one and maybe even the series based on experience and know-how alone. Philly isn't some beast team - they got fat off a historically terrible conference. They're talented but they don't know shit about winning in the playoffs - that's a disadvantage.

The same "historically terrible conference" That Lebron the Great has been getting fat off during the past 7 years mind you. I seem to remember you thinking that it was simply glorious while he was beating up on 49 win teams like Indiana and frauds like Toronto and Atlanta. The toughest team that he has ever had to defeat to get to an NBA finals were the Bulls with Rose 7 damn years ago yet you still laud him for his "greatness".

This Philly team with Embiid and Simmons is better than any of those teams save for arguably the Bulls. If Embiid is healthy they are going bounce Cleveland's ass right out of there this postseason.

Yes, LBJ is great. You keep underestimating experience and overvaluing talent. Philly will be a formidable team if they grow together. They're not a formidable team in 2018.

I think they can take any of the current teams in the Conf. Its partially due to who they are and partially due to what the rest of the conf happens to be. Boston with Hayward and Irving is the best team in the Conf. Second is Philly.

We definitely will see but this isn't an ordinary year.

Boston is not the best - little bitch and Hayward haven't even played seven minutes together. They tried to execute a simple alley oop and Hayward ended up almost amputating his foot. Some combo. Please. Then the bitch took the rest of the season off because he knew he wasn't going anywhere without LBJ. Screw him.

Hasn't Lebron James shown himself to be the bigger "bitch" this season however. Isn't it interesting how others couldn't wait to get away from his bitching, complaining, turncoat ass this year also?

He’s dominating because Adams has been in foul trouble the entire game.

He’s been playing great when he’s been on the court as well.

Last sequence was fun. Got the worst and then best of Westbrook all within a 5 second span.

Damn. Brutal 19-0 run. Mitchell was trying to do waaaaaay too much. Some growing pains for him tonight.

If it took that effort from LeBron for the Cavs to win, they are in trouble. It's the Pacers in round 1.

Not as crazy as you are for thinking that Lonzo Ball is a "good" player. If Mitchell turns out to be better it won't be by much.

Mitchell has much more freeedom than Tatum. Even with that Tatum is still a more complete player.

Mitchell is a very complete player. By nature guards will get less rebounds.

Mitchell is gonna be phenomenal.

And Ball is a good player. He’s a bad scorer/shooter and good passer, rebounder, and defender. High basketball IQ.
