    Wishful thinking when you have 32+ year olds playing 40 mins a game

    Boban is un-defendable, right?

    Add a couple of buyout, they can beat GSW.

    Y'all just heard about Toronto and Milwaukee right? Let's not forget Boston is pretty good too. The East is now loaded with talent.

    Out of the 4 teams I would say Philly is least likely making it to the finals. Never mind the fact that Toronto and Milwaukee would have the best player in a series, they have a short time to bring it all together.

    The east playoff is finally showing signs of Gauntletness after a mere 2 decades.

    If we somehow come out of the West. I don't give a **** what team they put in front of us.

    It will be like Team USA playing Finland in the Gold Medal game in Lake Placid 1980 or the Rockets against the 95 Magic.

    I am concerned with both MIL & PHI their size is a big problem. Will not be a cake walk vs either of them.

    Alright, fine you know what I'll say this. If Harden shoots well from 3, like December well, we can beat anyone in the league.

    Knowing our luck, we will limp into the playoffs with a key injury or two.

    East is better than West for many years to come.
    Rockets are old and Nuggets are a regular season team.

    If we have Capela back at 100% I would put this roster against any team, including the Warriors. None of the top 4 teams in the East has anyone that can neutralize Clint with the exception of Embiid and even then a PnR between Simmons and Joel isn't a double-edged sword because Simmons can't shoot for ****.

    Let's be real, the Rockets declined from being the consensus 1st or 2nd best team in the NBA last year to now being maybe the 6th or 7th best behind GS, TOR, MIL, PHI, maybe OKC/DEN. This is a ridiculous fall from grace. No one is out there considering the Rockets as favorites to win the title.

    76ers are the best team in the west now. I had boston so I'll probably stick since I have a bet from the beginning of the season. But with the moves n the can still get buy outs...my basketball mind says they will make it to the finals. I sure hope not uh got 100 bucks riding on celtics
