Calibandar Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 So it's either Chicago, Indiana or the Heat for 7 and 8. Bulls against the Nets. You'd think they'd win that. So Bulls through. Heat against the Wizards at home. I can see Miami win this. Pacers play Atlanta, who after being miserable for many weeks, have recently picked up and are on a run of wins, even against top tier teams. Personally I hope Bulls and Heat make it, because either of those make a potentially interesting face off with the Cavs and Celtics. The Cavs especially have, if I recall correctly, lost all 4 games this year against both The Heat and Bulls.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay B. Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I ultimately want Bulls to win, but a loss to a depleted D league team and missing the playoffs this way could potentially be the end for Hoiberg. Probably not but I'll take either outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relic Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Last night the Knicks won their 31st game of the season by beating the 76ers by a single point. Team ownership seems happy closing this horrid season with a win (according to their posts on FB) even though this victory effectively dropped us out of reasonable expectation for a top 5 pick. Just another day as a Knick fan.  #FireDolan #FreeOakley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Alright! Prediction time. Golden State over Portland in 4 Though I would not be at all surprised to see one exceptional Lillard game lead to a win. San Antonio over Memphis in 4 Just don't see how Memphis troubles this team. Rockets over Thunder in 6 That's what the head says. The gut feeling says we might see an upset win here, with the Thunder advancing. Westbrook's going to be crazy and we might see some production from minor upgrades like Gibson and McDermott. Could Oladipo finally shine? Will we see Steven Adams from last year's playoffs? If all of that happens this could be tight. On the other hand, would Harden really let that happen? Surely the Rockets have too many options and a much better bench. Clippers over Jazz in 6 But maybe the Clippers are just as bad as they've often looked, and Utah wins this. Not sure on this one, gut feeling says Clippers. Celtics over Bulls in 6 This is going to be a tough one for Boston. Could see this go to 7 games. The Bulls will trouble them. I share Bill Simmons' misgivings. Cavs over Pacers in 5.. I think the Cavs are quietly ecstatic about missing the Bulls, who they've lost 4 straight to. They can take the Pacers with relative ease. Toronto over Milwaukee in 5. Wizards over Hawks in 7. I think this series will be very closely contended and as with Clippers vs Jazz, loathe to put money on it. The Wizards have star power in Beal and Wall, but they have regressed of late. The Hawks rely very much on the team concept and have been on the rise of late. Washington would be very disappointed with a first round exit here, they must win this.

BigFatCoward Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 The only way the winner comes from the east is if the Cavs win each series in 4 or 5, and the West teams all beat each other up in 6 or 7 game series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA That is indeed funny. I think they genuinely feel that whatever blame there is, it's not Jackson's fault. Stephen A. will love this. On the other hand, the man is a legend, the Knicks may just think, this guy's still a keeper despite the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't even a question in my mind. But, what the Hell do I know. Yea, not a Knick fan, but damn. I'd just like to see them do something that is basketball smart. None of their moves ever make any sense. Phil is done, and his failure to move on from the Triangle is proof of that. ETA: sorry for previous post, clearing a quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Seswatha Jordan Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I guess the Knicks are going to move Melo during the off-season. I think this will be beneficial to them both. But, not many places Melo.is willing to go, imo. He could make it tough on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunderMifflin Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Melo should be willing to go anywhere. He has nothing to lose, his time in NY has cemented him as not being among the greats. If he can go somewhere else and help a team get the least bit of playoff success his career can just be blamed on the Knicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
