    Wagner is straight up stinking it up right now. Wonder if Magic fans are trashing him like our fans do Sengun.

    Geez, the Magic are such ass but yet the Pistons look worst than ass. I had Detroit making it to the 2nd round only to lose to Cleveland but that may not happen lol.

    teams that can’t score are easy snacks in the playoffs

    you’re not gonna defend your way to greatness in today’s NBA

    Detroit the first home team to lose. Hope Spurs is the second, but not likely.

    Thank you Magic. Now the Rockets don’t have the worst loss of the weekend.

    Pistons are a faux 60-win 1st seed like the Cavs were last season. You can’t really take team besides the Celtics seriously in the East.

    Yeah it really is sad how weak the East is. The Celtics are the only team over there that I feel could make it through the Western Conference.

    Cavs, Pistons, and Knicks all feel like pretenders the rest of the conference would probably not even make the playoffs in the West.

    If I'm Tilman, I'm making an argument to go East when they bring over Las Vegas and Seattle, F this conference. At least we'd get less 9pm and 10pm games.

    Orlando is finally healthy and they have a legit shot at winning this series.

    Hope that is the one matchup that is not so lopsided.......maybe the Rockets and LAL matchup turns out to be competitive too.
