Magic fending off a Hawks run, looks like they will be the 7 seed in the East. Dyson playing some strong defense on Franz Wagner.

Atlanta is too poor of a defensive team for Dyson to have a big enough impact to matter whereas Orlando is a good overall defensive team that can still thrive without Suggs.

Trae Young acting like a little bitch and quit.

It's the playoffs...which means the Hawks' lack of offense will show up...they averaged almost 120 points in regular season when they just ran up & down the court throwing up shots and playing little to no defense.

They will have trouble getting 100 points in any playoff game. Many here think Dyson's offense is MUCH improved this season. It's not...he just gets a bunch of very easy layups in regular season...the playoffs will expose his lack of offensive development. (I still like Dyson...but he is ...what he is...until he comes up with an offensive game.)

I love watching Jimmy Butler in the playoffs. He just has another gear.

Trae young being a chucker who plays no defense is why they suck

All that being said, Trae Young is 1000 times the franchise player that Zion is

Last two foul calls against the Grizz were hilariously bad, refs may be trying to ensure Warriors get in the playoffs here

He supposedly turned down a 5-150 deal, now he’ll be a RFA.

I find it so weird that the Grizzlies are unable get Edey the ball down low. He should have at least 25 points in this game against a tiny arse frontcourt.

Mavs giving the Kings a country-boy azz whoopin'...I actually think if Kyrie was healthy...the Mavs might make some serious noise...in the playoffs.

Bottom line...I'm not sure the Luka trade for AD was such a bad deal for the Mavs. Guess we'll see...

Did not expect both home teams to get blown out at home. NBA product has been trash lately

As we all know...the regular season can be quite deceiving. Playoffs are an entirely different game & many teams' overall game...just doesn't translate well, come playoff time...mainly due to most teams actually trying to play decent defense.

This is why I wouldn’t trade a top 5 pick for sabonis. I just don’t think he’s that guy who makes his team significantly better. He puts up great numbers but disappears in the a playoffs.

And idk if his number equate to winning games

Sabonis is a fake good player with fake good 3 point shooting stats this season

Yep...totally agree...and the Kings have some very serious decisions to make regarding the future direction of their team.
