What a final four in the East...two long time rivalries.

Boston, and then Boston again after that lol.

As a Nets Fan, it’s tough.

Need Boston to lose so they can keep milking that one championship in the last 30+ years and I can continue mocking them.

Don’t want Philly to win because I’m not trying to see that fat quitter or the big *** flopper get rewarded with a ring.

Knicks winning would drive me up the wall and I’d never be able to hear the end of it from my Knicks friends lol. And I’m not trying to hear no “The league is better when the Knicks are good/The Knicks are back!” BS. Damn sure don’t wanna see Dolan get rewarded with ring either.

So I’m rolling with Miami even though I know they probably won’t win this series.

Knicks is 6. Just don't know if the Playoff Jimmy show can sustain enough.

As much as I want to say Philly, I can't lol. Even though Boston has shown kinks in their armor, Boston has always smacked Philly around. I can see Boston in 6. Philly has done a good job on Guarding Tatum this year and still went 1-3(needed 52 from Embiid). I do think Philly has a chance. Main thing is Embiid’s health. But the very next thing is the play of Harden and Maxey. Harden was TERRIBLE inside the arc against Nets. Missing bunnies left and right. And Boston shut down Maxey in the regular season. Boston has a lot of perimeter defenders to throw at Philly. Philly needs Harden and Maxey to be good to have a chance.

If Philly loses, then I see changes happening. I see Doc getting fired and Harden going back to the Houston Strip Clubs, I mean Houston Rockets lol. And honestly I wouldn't be upset on either. Embiid has had his best years under Doc and Doc has improved some on his common flaws, but I never felt like he was the right guy for Philly. If we could get the All-Star Snub version of Harden I'm good. But I worry about how he ages and I don't want to see him get a max deal at his age. I would see them trading Harris. Harris has played well so far this playoffs and while his cap hit is high, he will be on an expiring deal. I would want to see them use Harris's contract to get 2-3 good rotational players

In his defense, that looked like a "TF are you dong?" Slap lol. As you know, that is what you're signing up for with the Harden package
