2023-24 Regular Season Thread II: March Toward Destiny

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Then Koby tells JB since u didnt win a playoff game OR GRAB A DIVISION TITLE your fired. JB cries Don leaves and the burn the Rocket down
 
I think I heard a stat today Charlotte was missing 9 players today.
 
Knicks playing with grit. We didnt respect the game.
 
What if the Heat beat Boston and Philly beats the Knicks in round one? We get Philly second round with home court. Brilliant move by JBB!
 
Not sure any of it matters with the reports that Mitchell won't sign an extension that means a total reset of this team needing to trade Mitchell and they can't go rebuild with no draft picks with our next 5 years of picks owned or swap rights owned by Utah.
Utah was smart they traded Mitchell to a team that they knew he would likely want to leave and the draft picks would come into effect the year he leaves.
 
So Knicks win and they are the 2 seed.

If Cavs didn't throw the game today they would been the 3 seed and played 6 Indiana and avoided Boston in the 2nd round.

So playing scared cost the Cavs today I guess unless they were scared to play Indiana as well.
 
Cavs will need to worry about just beating the Magic but these are going to be some spicy 1st round matchups

#1 Boston gets either Miami or Philly most likely
#2 seed if Knicks or Bucks gets either Philly or Miami
Don't forget the Pacers & Bucks. Pacers won 4 of 5 (considering the in season tournament added a game), but it also took a franchise record from Giannis to get that one W which in turn led to a bunch of drama off the court. Pretty sure this was taken in consideration today.

I'll never downplay an opponent again but good might be the most ideal scenario possible.
 
Cavs were once on pace to win 56 games not too long ago and end up with just 48 wins. They once won 18 out of 19 games and were on fire with a healthy Mitchell and an injured Garland and Mobley.

Also note Cavs could have had SGA they were offered SGA and pick 6 for pick 3 the year we drafted Mobley.

Also note the Cavs would just taken SGA over Sexton (with reports they were going to take SGA then for some reason went Sexton) that year and never would have had the need to trade for Mitchell and this team would still have all the picks and be in way better shape.

Anyway things looking bleak once Mitchell heads on out.

For 1st round maybe but not for 2nd round when you play Boston your done.
Also 1st round would been Indiana instead of Magic not sure that makes a difference but pretty sure zero chance to beat Boston.
Better hope Miami upsets Philly then Philly beats Boston.

SGA didn't want to come here. So there's that.
 
What is the most likely date for the first playoff game?
 
Knicks actually wanted to play Philly and get a higher seed vs us who just want to have an easy first round. Bitch made mentality.
 
SGA didn't want to come here. So there's that.

I want to know what he genuinely would have done if he was drafted here... I hate the mentality that we didn't draft him because he didn't want to play here. But it does scream Koby.
