With Milwaukee’s loss in Memphis, the East is now locked for the All-Star break. Using the invaluable @bball_ref projections, the Celtics have a 99.8% chance to finish 1st.
Their projections for the 8 seed?
* Miami 21%
* Chicago 20%
* Indiana 19%
* Atlanta 12%
* Orlando 11%
* Brooklyn 9%

you can go ahead and drop the nets percentages down to 0 for the 8 seed.

9 games up on MIL in the loss column is pretty crazy. That SOS is finally starting to show itself. We also have the tiebreaker on the Cavs already so we are 7 up. If we continue to win at our pace we are projected to have 64 wins. For the Cavs to overcome that in their remaining games, they’d have to go 29-0.

What’s the chances of finishing first overall? The west top 3/4 are all like within 3 games of each other. So I’m waiting for them to all have to play each other still and start racking up some losses. Would love home court throughout. Maybe it’s naive, but I feel more worried about some of the west teams than anyone in the East right now.

The Bucks game was as entertaining as the 50 point Nets blowout

i would love to watch the most difficult road to a championship.
with real tension in the games and a knock out battle.
doesn’t mean i don’t want us to win, i just don’t want it to be easily dismissible.

Dame is so far from All-Star caliber it’s actually insane

Umm…it’s not over until the mathematical impossibility of losing 1st.
What was the math like for the Yankees in 2004’s ALCS?

Man I’ve been saying trading Jrue for Damian wasn’t a good idea. Grabbing a “superstar” who initially wanted to only go to Miami and plays no defense in his early 30s is a recipe for disaster. AG chasing Terry Stots away was also a sign of bad things to come.
Not to mention they gave up Grayson Allen. They tried to rebound a bit by getting Pat Bev but he’s a scrappy guy not necessarily a great defender.
So you have a team that relies on Giannis, Dame, and a hobbled Middleton to score, only two of the three which can shoot and a team with zero perimeter defense. If Giannis didn’t pressure the front office so much they would’ve been in a better position. But oh well we take those lol
