    The fact that the NBA doesn't reseed is ridiculous. 
    Agreed.
    Didn't they use to? or am I thinking of hockey?



    NFL reseeds NBA and NHL do not and I don't believe ever have.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    NHL used to reseed when they had conference seeding 1-8. In 2010 the 2nd round was 4 vs. 8 and 6 vs. 7 (the Flyers comeback from 0-3 down in the series and Game 7 at Boston).

    And way back in the day when they seeded the whole league 1-16, which was an insane system used for only 2 years - check out the 1980 and 1981 playoffs. So many airline miles!

    Now they have a mostly divisional system and there's a "playoff division champion" after the 2nd round. The conference seeding was way better. Of course my team isn't anywhere near the playoffs so it matters not in the slightest.

    The Celtics are already +145 to win it all on DraftKings. I would have to think that whichever teams comes out on top will be -150 or so going into the conference finals. Maybe the Sixers would be closer to even money.

    Yeah hearing he's doubtful but if he plays starting with game 1 then he'll be about 60% the rest of the way with a higher chance of injury. But if they wait till game 3 he'll be closer to 90%. I hate to say it, but I think ya gotta hold him out till game 3. God damnit.

    I heard them talking about the article that said this on the Rights to Ricky podcast. Those numbers are extremely hypothetical and coming from a doc that knows nothing about Joel’s specific injury. 

    The truth of the matter is that we won’t know until we know. The only source that has said “doubtful” is Doc, and he’s going to make it sound like the sky is falling no matter what. Anything to keep the Celtics on their toes.

    Kinda think it makes sense to sit him for at least the first one. But if they lose that, I don't think there's anyway he doesn't play in game 2.

    Oh I’m sure you’re right! I’m referencing the article peddling the 60% number and the Debbie downers on the podcast acting as if Joel is a paraplegic.

    Yes, context is everything. But IF this is the deal then I'd go with plan B.

    But at minimum it seems like sitting him for Game 1 at the least would be best.

    Yeah, I’m all for it if it’s truthfully the smart thing to do. Doc teams do tend to over perform in those situations.
