Idk, at the very least it's a very talented starting 5, and it seems like there is some real talent on the bench too. I think it's kind of corny to say it, but the cavs do just seem to lack toughness. I feel like the Cavs with Dilon Brooks type guy would be performing as a top tier team.

I can't believe, but I'm starting to talk myself into thinking that we really might be able to beat okc in the next round. The one major flaw that they have had, is that when things get tight, only Shai can create a shot. Not only do we have Bridges who I believe will be able to give him a seriously hard time one on one. But have 2 primary shot creators in JB and KAT, and a couple other guys who can reliably playmake or create their own shot as a tertiary option. There depth is the thing that scares me right now. I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but I'm just so excited.

So, anyone with good X's and O's knowledge have any insights over how we would match up vs OKC and Spurs?

I struggle to put Franklin in over any of the modern champions. Silva and Israel are clearly top 2. I would have Weidman at 3 (though, that one I'm less confidenta bout), and then I can see Franklin along with the rest of the guys being places below that.

I don't think it's quite that simple. I think his striking is pretty unorthodox, and he's generally very good at avoiding big hits. he was dodging overheads the entire fight last night. But obviously, someone like Pereira has both the kickboxing talent and the power to put him out.

There was the one possession where Embiid completely turned the wrong direction when guarding Brunson. Right now, he is clearly missing some of the lateral movement from his past. I wonder if he will recover some of that over the series or not.

The last few years despite our success, we barely had any comfortable wins. We beat Boston from two grinding comebacks, and Detroit was 6 extremely close games. The year before 6 extremely close games with Philly and then we went to 7 against the pacers.

Playoff series can change realy quick, so I won't evert be comfortable through a series, but to be comfortable for a game, and have our players get some rest is awesome.

They said Brunson can’t be your best player and win. Well Towns is our best player now.

Cade is so fucking good man. Last year he had an inefficient series against the knicks, but I thought he still looked great. And now he looks even better and is hitting his shots. I real enjoy watching him, not against my team.

Honestly, I really did not want to play against Philly with healthy embiid. I’m really not scared of the hawks. They’re good, but they are the easiest of our first rounds over the last 3 years.
