Yeah, tho Miami is the one potential wildcard. They have a solid cache of assets, depending who's available at the deadline I feel like they're within reach of catching up to those teams with the right trade. For instance if Kawhi gets hurt again the Heat could be in the mix for PG etc.
Hell if AD gets hurt I think the Lakers have no choice but to send Lebron to Miami. And frankly I wouldnt even ask for anything back, I'd just say "Listen, keep your assets, Lebron is 39 years old, we're not trying to screw anyone over. Just take Lebron and we'll move on."
And because these Heat players have not won anything, I personally wouldnt even consider that a situation where Lebron has 'help.' I would actually argue joining Miami would be perhaps the hardest road he could take at this point, given their lack of achievement since he left.

Ive never seen star players get such clean looks over and over. They arent even working hard to get open. Even when they are in trouble seems like KP is open to bail them out
I heard that grant williams is still the team flopper for the Cs. Is it true? :biggums:

They'll definitely be a contender. Have to see if they can get through without choking though.

Any of those three could end up being the finalists in the east. Tho miami's been twice already in the last five years. (https://i.ibb.co/9sM1BRX/IMG-20230123-110228.jpg)

I don't know about Prozingis, but Jrue really is a game changer... Does it make them better than the Bucks with their addition of Dame? Not sure, but they probably will be better from the go since the core is the same.

Holiday doesn't need to score, they have 3 other guys that will be looking for theirs. His job is to defend Dame and last time they played in the playoffs, he took Dame's soul.

KP was good for us. He definitely isnt a ball stopper. When he gets the ball he will do something quickly. I never got the impression that he was trying to force up shots to build up his numbers.

Probably middleton but just an obvious guess. (https://i.ibb.co/gDsySW3/IMG-20230603-203842.jpg)

Fair but i think theyve added to their scoring profile. Last season thry were too dependent on the 3 but by adding Jrue and Porzingis theyve added two players that can get a tough basket. Jrue in particular is an updrade over Smart in attacking the paint, getting to the line and scoring inside. While KP can post smaller mismatches and also get to the line.
The added variety should help them avoid letting the opposition go on extended runs. One thing that always stuck out to me was how prime Derrick Rose was a run stopper and i feel Tatum has to take a step here. It seems like Tatum is great at feeding off momentum when the Celtics are on a run but its time for him to get those tough 2s to stop a run. I feel this is his best chance to do it.

He must have changed.
I don't think he is selfish but he definitely always has been a guy that likes to shoot as soon as he gets the ball.
I think what you mean might be that he can play in a system and will be happy to set it up, pass the ball there, but he's not a guy that will usually find a cutter or do give and go and that kind of think. He gets the ball and 9/10 it's going up.

I don't know about Prozingis
Porzingis can win you quite a few playoff games on his own, he's that good when healthy and motivated.
He has that unique ability to block shots, run the floor and hit a trailing 3. Absolute menace when that happens.
Problem is his injuries which take him out many games and then having difficulty fitting in with the team after that, expecting to step right in an continue as first option.
I'm rooting for him, but his injuries will always be a concern.
