tripp Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Boston gonna miss playoffs with KyrieNo way I dont think Boston would miss the playoffs even if Kyrie suffered a season ending injury. Enough nice pieces there and Stevens is too good of a coach Not a threat to the Cavs, and even before the Hayward injury i kept saying they are closer to Was, Milw and Toronto than Cleveland, but bottom of the east playoffs will be bad.

Timely Hitting Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Close out Memphis here. Davis and Cousins will never worki liked the memphis over. this team plays brilliantly together. conley is so much better in reality than he is statistically and it took me a long time to agree with that.

Deemer Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Well Toronto wizards Bucks and Cavs def better than boston. That puts em 5 at best Indiana and Charlotte won’t be bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timely Hitting Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Minnesota still has no clue what they're doing defensively. Gonna take Butler some time to help teach this system; Wiggins is such a disappointment. This team is so athletic, they should be the best defensive team in the NBA with Thibs system.

tripp Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Close out Memphis here. Davis and Cousins will never workyeah not in todays game Two great talents but no way i want to build my franchise around two big guys. Only thing that gave them a chance is both are able to spread out and hit the 3, but Cousins cant really defend well on the perimeter and the guards in NO just not good enough Wonder if Cavs make a play for Cousins mid season dangling that BK pick if Pels are easily out of the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That puts em 5 at best Indiana and Charlotte won’t be bad...charlotte needs to get healthy and dwight howard is a cancer, and indiana is no where near as good as boston imo. think boston could finish anywhere between 5 and 3.

That teams starting 5 is really really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripp, let’s not be ridiculousthe east is really bad, the 8th seed might have 39ish wins. that said, yeah i don't think a terry rozier run offense is going anywhere.

That teams starting 5 is really really good.their bench gets decimated though Cleveland got deeper this year...if IT is healthy and in form for the playoffs they are better than last year I know benches get shortened in the playoffs but you need some production. Wash would have been in the conf finals last year if they had even a mediocre bench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripp, let’s not be ridiculousStevens would get the absolute most out of that roster Lots of bad teams in the east also. Brooklyn, Chicago, Atlanta, Indiana, New York, Orlando Then you have Detroit, Charlotte, Miami, Philly, Boston (sans Kyrie) all competing for four playoff spots and only one would miss out. Really 40 wins would likely get in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timely Hitting Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Have they ruled Hayward out for the rest of the season?he dislocated his ankle and broke his tibia. he's 100% done for the year. that's a 12 month injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timely Hitting Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Gibson and Butler were the best moves MInnesota could have made; gibson already helphing DIeng and Towns defensively. This team needs leadership; they had star talent, but no direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timely Hitting Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Jokic is awesome; Denver has a ton of pieces. The West is loaded. Barton the best bench scorer in the league at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, it will take a year probably.Complete dislocation is a bigger problem I think. Can't put any pressure on it for even longer following the surgery. Even if he did come back, his leg would be so weak he'd be pretty much irrelevant. This is similar to the Paul George injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wake me up when April gets here.West is stacked; Warriors are no lock imo. There is no easy series in the Western Conference playoffs. IT might never be the same player again either; don't sleep on that hip issue for a guy who relies so much on his ability to change direction.

Even if he did come back, his leg would be so weak he'd be pretty much irrelevant. This is similar to the Paul George injury. Either way, his leg will be weak and will require rehab. I broke my wrist my senior year of basketball and couldn't use it at full strength for about 6 weeks after getting out of the cast. Granted, that's not pressure bearing, but I would think the tendons and ligaments would heal faster without use being in a cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
