Hold on Embiid got hurt again?
madness
Taking my talents to South Beach
East is wide open...first time in a while the 6th, 7th and 8th seeds all will have a fighters chance of beating the 3rd, 2nd and 1st
If heat can make it to ECF vs Cavs.....
This will be a first-round matchup unless Miami decides to rest their players....Miami clearly wants to play the 2 seed Celtics,but the Bucks are pushing them for the 7th seed.This will force Miami to go all out and most likely end up with the 6th seed.Miami's remaining schedule is easier than Washingtons'.
On the other hand,maybe it would be better to rest up,finish with the 8th seed,and play Toronto.Rather than going all out,finishing with the 6th seed,and playing Cleveland in the first round.
Which would be the easier route to take ?
Finish 8th:RD 1:Toronto,RD 2:Philadelphia,RD 3:Cleveland
Finish 6th:RD 1:Cleveland,RD 2:Boston,RD 3:Toronto
I guess it depends on which Cleveland team shows up.

look, you can bullshyt yourselves but the only answer is Cleveland and we all know it. We are all confident we could compete and possibly win vs this Cleveland team but we also know most teams are not good enough to beat LeBron and co, especially in the playoffs where the pace gets slowed down.
The 76ers, namely Simmons is trash in the half court, can't shoot, isn't a great free throw shooter. He'll be a taller playoff Kyle Lowry next month, 6ers will not advance because these kids are not ready yet
Now when you go to the playoffs yearly like the Cavs, wiz, raptors, Celtics, those teams are only concerned with each other. The other teams are not a problem. Golden state can chill and it's all good, Cleveland avoided Washington last year, smart move. Wizards seem to be losing lately, nobody questions if it's strategic tho
winning games guaranteed either Philly (before Embiid injury) or Cleveland. Losing can land us Boston or Toronto.
Philly/Cleveland
Toronto/Boston
John Wall been ready to return for two weeks already, he was to be out 6-8 weeks but had been seen balling hard since the end of week 5. Every report out of Washington said John looked surprisingly good, was playing better than he was before the injury.
They know what they are doing, getting the entire team playoff ready, plus we wanna catch teams offguard. Tbc...

I would guess finishing 8th but if Heat plays like they played the Cavs....either route is doable. Sixers w/o Embiid would be good for heat too.

What team you reppin again slim?
So you think Boston is better than they were last year?
Excellent Smithers, excellent
Bucks fan - I would take Toronto or Boston. Want no parts of Lebron 
Watch us get the six seed now 
But then I think we get to keep our pick this year
