The Pacers are done, they're hot garbage. Pacers aren't getting to the ECFs. The Heat aren't much better, everyone on the Heat except LBJ suck. The Heat are so beatable this year but they'll be back in the Finals because the East is garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn what on? They can't score. The Even Turner trade bombed. Bynum is fat and broke. Hibbert and George peaked in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, only team that's underperforming right now that I can see them "turning it on" is the Heat but that depends alot if Wade is somewhat healthy but he can go down anytime, he's too fragile right now. The Pacers, OTOH, just flat out stink. LeBron WILL need to go full ham if the Heat are to 3peat. This will be the first time they most likely won't have HCA in the Finals, that could be huge.

They didn't have HC in 2012 when they beat OKC. I don't think it will matter this year either. Think about it, the Spurs are looking at Houston/OKC in rounds two and three just to get to the finals. OKC is looking at the Clippers in round f***ing two. Beat the Clippers? Next up the Spurs. I think whoever wins the west won't have anything left for the Heat.

My bad, you're right about OKC having HCA. The Heat as it stands right now may need to get past BKN and Chicago/Pacers. Yes they'll advance but they also will get challenged by physically stronger teams albeit not as talented. The Heat just seem to be running out of gas, this will be they're fourth straight year of a long playoffs run. The way I see it, if LeBron just has a few off nights, it could spell doom for their chances. His supporting cast is just not very good right now. It'll be interesting to say the least...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Marc Stein has Noah and Gibson winning the DPOY and 6th man awards. Can't say I disagree. I had Hibbert winning the DPOY but things have changed massively since their collapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least management. Their easily the lamest/cheapest of the big market teams. Deng, Asik, Korver, Belinelli and Nate have all been let go for tax reasons. I think it's funny they might be forced to go over it anyway because Noah decided to have a career year at almost 30.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Dumb question alert! So because Toronto won their division, do they get the #3 seed over the Bulls if the two teams finished tied despite the fact the Bulls have the better conference record?

Rowand44 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Ya being the division leader would actually be the tiebreaker if the standings stay the same. EDIT: ha thought Brian just posted the standings not the tiebreaker scenarios. What an asshole! Edited April 14, 2014 by Rowand44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
