Outside of Knicks & Hornets-for local reasons-I've probably caught more of the Celts than any other team in the league because I'm in a group text chain with cousins from NH who are big Cs fan. Man, that team is a mess. Also, they're incredibly soft. One of my cousins sent a Bill Simmons tweet this morning where he said Boston's destiny is to fall to 7 & lose both play in games, Haha.
From your lips to God's ear. I think if LBJ & AD were both 100%, the Lakers are probably the Western Conference favorites, but I tend to agree: I don't they will be. And as you mentioned, LBJ is 36. He even said the other day-cryptically I might add-that he probably will never be 100% again.
If not Lakers...Suns? Clips? I don't buy the Jazz. I would have said Denver if not for Murray's injury, though Porter Jr. is coming on.
This season is different because of covid.
Lakers have played a lot of games and you can hear Lebron's frustration.
I think he is really hurting and knows he can't go 100%.
I think it is the Suns and Clippers year in the west.
PG is playing really well and Kawhi know how to turn it on in the playoffs.
Unless Lebron comes back fully healthy.
It's going to be a tough run for the Lakers.

haha that's funny-- I hate that team. Agreed they're soft af. Everyone saying "well Celtics always show up for the playoffs"-- on the one hand I can understand that concern just based on the type of players Tatum and Brown are (they play hard when they feel like it and when they do they're pretty good), but I just don't see this as being quite the same team as the team that went to the ECF 3 of 4 years. They seem to be too much in disarray at times (as Clyde would say), I don't see them suddenly showing up and playing crisp team-first basketball all of a sudden once the playoffs start.
I read an article yesterday about how this is not even a true Brad Stevens -type team (I hate Brad Stevens for the record but admit he's a decent coach)... I guess he has a list of 5 "keys" that he's always harped on and has written everywhere in the facility and those 5 things are literally the things these Celtics are the worst at lol.

Yeah damn imagine if the Lakers are the 7-seed, they could very well have to play:
-Warriors (in a play-in game)
And then 3 rounds in the playoffs they'd likely play (in order):
-Suns
-Clippers
-Jazz/Nuggets
No way Lebron/AD make it through the west in the condition they're in right now.

This team has struggled with big physical centers and PF lately.
Playoff are a big accomplishment this season and I am happy to be watching important basketball at the end of a season.

That's a murder's row for Lakers.
ugh-- hate the possibility that Beal might not be available for the Hawks games. Need the Wizards to win at least one of those 2.

Seemed like cramps. He stayed on the bench and the trainers weren't with him.
