45% vs 44% winning percentage. Statistical dead heat, folks. That argument is put to rest.Poncier said:
Which is better than 12-15.The Juggler said:
Celtics are 10-12 against 500+ teams. Sorry.Poncier said:
Very similar to last year when they ended the season on that 69 game winning streak where they played Atlanta, Brooklyn and the Knicks 23 times each and suddenly they were seen as the team to beat in the east then the Celts pantsed them.tempo_n_groove said:
They are 12-15 vs +500 teams. 24-6 against sub 500.The Juggler said:
Give me an example of how they're not playing together? Because Tobias Harris has fit in seamlessly so far. There's nothing in the three games he's played in to suggest otherwise, unless I am missing something. They're 2-1 and only lost last night because of an off night for Embiid...and they still had a shot at the end.tempo_n_groove said:
I keep saying that the Sixers aren't playing together. They have another half of the season to get right.23scidoo said:Big win for the Celtics!!
@23scidoo every time I see your handle I think of the ghost town out in Cali.

They just lost to the Celtics minus a Kyrie.
If they play any sub 500 teams in the playoffs they will be just fine.
And Celts are 3-0 against their current projected first round opponent.www.myspace.com0 -
Also @tempo_n_groove, you made me curious so I checked. They're 11-9 against +500 teams since Butler got here. So...yeah, I don't understand your argument.www.myspace.com0

I'm not sold on the Celtics right now even though they won. I admitted this and may backtrack and take the Bucks as a finalist w the Raptors.The Juggler said:
The Celtics are 10-12 against 500+ teams. The numbers you are citing are consistent with most good teams in the league. You beat up against the scrubs and then hold your own against the better ones. That usually ends teams up with 50+ wins.tempo_n_groove said:

They just lost to the Celtics minus a Kyrie.
If they play any sub 500 teams in the playoffs they will be just fine.
And your argument doesn't make a lot of sense anyway. You keep saying they need to play together since the trade which just happened three games ago....yet you're citing numbers that includes games since before even Jimmy Butler got here?
My question was, what in the last three games indicates they are not gelling well together? Because I think the exact opposite is true.
Listen to other insiders about the Sixers and they aren't sold on them either.
If they pound the ball inside and have Butler and Simmons take 15 footers I think they will do great but they aren't doing that.0 -

Yep. People are changing their tune now. You are correct. McGrady has changed his mind. I know he was one of the people that wasn't sold on them.The Juggler said:

Reaction to the trade has been overwhelmingly positive. Only negatives I saw was regarding them giving up too much...which goes out the window once they resign him this summer.Post edited by The Juggler onwww.myspace.com0 -
They are going to have to try to re-sign 3 of the starting 5 this summer (assuming Butler declines his player option which at 19 Mil is probably a safe assumption).
Can they pull that off?

If they want to, absolutely. Not sure they bring Butler back, but we will see.Poncier said:They are going to have to try to re-sign 3 of the starting 5 this summer (assuming Butler declines his player option which at 19 Mil is probably a safe assumption).

Once again Pacers can't beat a contender. 10 point lead late in the game, lose by 9. Combined 4-7 against BOS/MIL/PHI/TOR this season.

Pacers are screwed without Oladipo anyway. Too bad for them, but no way they can overcome that injury to make a run in the playoffs.This weekend we rock Portland0

Problem remains, with or without Oladipo, they've proven all season they can't hang with the other contenders in the EC.
