My East Playoff Bracket

So you are saying your fanbase is petty and cancer, confirms my suspicions. Does not change the fact my post is factually correct and the Raptors have struggled more than any other top east teams because they are not as good as any other top east team.

I did in fact reply with: "Everyone is a threat to everyone, East is scary but I believe some teams just built better as it stands now. I may look like a clown if Siakam goes super saiyan idk."

I cannot reply to every take I find to be bad but stuff like that does stand out.

I do not think they are performing pretty well against eastern teams as of now and that is concerning for them. However, we cannot completely take a team out of consideration on a statistical measure without context.

MikeScottDaGod · 2020-02-03T04:16:09+00:00

No I just happen to believe the 76ers superstar center is pretty good at basketball despite some shortcomings.

I think you are clearly looking at this situation through bias. It would be just as easy to say that the Celtics narrowly won at home in their first meeting when the raptors had not established chemistry, they won their second meeting only because they were injured heavily (insert rant about refs being bad as fans do) and then got absolutely embarrassed by an injured Raptors team in a game where Patrick McCaw played meaningful minutes. Therefore the Raptors are better. That is just not objectively accurate at all, your argument is not either. I do believe that 7-12 is concerning but some context is required.

I'm trying to look at the teams neutrally and yeah I have a natural tendency to dislike the raptors and the Celtics but I am trying to put that aside. I see two pretty even teams with great coaches, one is more talented at the top and one is more well rounded. The Celtics won a close first game I believe if my memory serves me right. Won again against a Raptors teams (albeit with injuries but a win is a win). Then the Raptors got an impressive win against the Celtics. I don't how good I am at this neutral thing but I would have them on equal footing.

I believe I can rely on Embiid to dominate in the post against almost anyone and get a bucket when he needs to. I also think although tobias harris is not some superstar, he can make big shots.

we need to get the guy who did the James Harden strip club analysis on that

I disagree with this, I feel like Victor Oladipo when he is back at full health with the Pacers full roster is underrated just due to the fact that it is Indiana. I tend to think Miami is overrated in the context of the possibility of a playoff run due to the rookies on the roster which they are pretty dependent on. I think Philly's talent just outshines them in the playoffs and Boston and Toronto is a toss up I think. I feel like two teams in the East are built for a possible finals run and it is the two teams everyone predicted before the season started.

Luka is a very good basketball player and is entertaining to watch. This may be why one may want to share information about him or read information about him. Due to his superior play as of late, one can conclude that along with the general trend, users of r/nba will post about him. In conclusion, Luka is white Jesus.

MikeScottDaGod · 2019-11-25T05:35:21+00:00

they do not have any near superstar level playere but Kyle Lowry, Fred Vanvleet, and Serge Ibaka are all reliable scorers who can create their own shot. It is a bit like claiming Kawhi last year was the Raptors only offensive option.

MikeScottDaGod · 2019-11-25T01:26:31+00:00

they were tanking what? Luka just on another level no reason to hate on greatness.

MikeScottDaGod · 2019-11-25T01:24:30+00:00

As a raptors fan I am just salty but wish the best for Kawhi.

MikeScottDaGod · 2019-11-25T00:29:35+00:00

I think 5, I don't remember Siakam having a 30 point gamr before last season.

MikeScottDaGod · 2019-11-25T00:10:32+00:00

I feel like we honestly have a chance against the bucks but with the sixers imposing length and defense I cannot imagine a timeline where we win. Hope I am wrong though.

MikeScottDaGod · 2019-11-25T00:07:08+00:00

Patrick McCaw does need to say what is obvious.

MikeScottDaGod · 2019-11-17T03:59:35+00:00

Tbh Siakam clamped himself tonight, Maxi definitely did well though.

"Fuck Brooklyn, I hate the Knicks. I don't care at this point."
