[Brief Keef]

Philly home crowd gonna be so turnt tomorrow night...
Playoff atmosphere

need cavs in that 3 spot sorry breh

 

[Serious]

i havent

they been covering as well?

 

[Liquid]

I really wish Embiid could play against the Cavs.

Ben Simmons will try his best but I fully expect LeBron to show out tomorrow. Possibly a triple double just to teach the young gawd something

As far as this thread is concerned. I think ECF and that's only because they have 2 young players who are absolute matchup nightmares.

 

[KOohbt]

They wont make it out the first most likely

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

Want them to not play the cavs till eastern finals

That could very well happen if they get the 3 seed. They would play Boston or the 7th seed in the 2nd round. Cavs has shown they can beat the raptors in the 2nd round

Don't do that. Don't do that. You said show me an example of a non playoff who made the finals the following year. I gave you an answer but now you wanna use the YOUTH EXCUSE. Come on bruh. Jj redikk has playoff experience. Amir johnson, Marco Bellinili. Brett Brown been with the spurs. NO excuses. that nets team was young too.

Reminding me of that young Miami Heat squad with Shaq. Would have made the Finals in 05 if Wade didn't bust his ribs.

They had already made the playoffs in 04 tho

 

[LV Koopa]

They had already made the playoffs in 04 tho

Forgot about that. I'm thinking of 05 cuz that's when Wade really arrived.

The Naysayers were saying the same thing about my eagles especially when wentz went down can’t wait to wild out on broad st again

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

need cavs in that 3 spot sorry breh

Cavs will probably be the 3 even if they lose tomorrow.

 

[UpAndComing]

I got a feeling they could be the 1995 Orlando Magic

 

[dem bath salts]

With Kyrie hurt, they may very well make an ECF.

 

[Jerz-2]

Not to rain on your parade .....



But it’s been lottery teams

....and since Christmas, they have the best record in the league. And they played against WINNING playoff squads during that timeframe.

They're playing great ball. No need to attempt to discredit them.

when was the last time a team with no playoff experience made it to the finals? 1977 Blazers?

This was the right answer.

Portland had never made the playoffs in franchise history, they were led by four guys all under 24 (two 3rd-year guys and two 2nd-year guys), went ahead and won the whole thing.
