Evan Turner is well on his way to a good career. He still needs to take another step, but he seems like a solid option for a contender.

I wouldn't be so sure. While I think Boston is a better team to match up against Miami, Philly is similar to the Celtics in that they defend well enough to steal games they have no business winning.

Alright. Rondo is dialed into his triple double mode. This bodes well for the Cs.

He's been a disappointment for sure thus far, but in a weak draft class Philly should be satisfied in the long run.

Idk, I see Philly taking it to 6 at the absolute max. My official prediction would be 5 with a sweep not out of the question.

I was pretty surprised too, he never fouls out. Only the second time he's fouled out this year.

as much as I want to see Philly win... no way they beat Miami. at least the Celtics have a chance. at this point in the playoffs, that's what matters to me

Yup, I'm in the same boat. Now at least the ECF could be good.

I see either team getting beat by the whoever wins the west, but I don't even want to see Miami in the finals. I'd like to see Celtics vs Spurs, really

Oh, I absolutely want Miami in the finals. LeBron in the Finals is one of the most compelling things in sports right now imo.

Gonna be a homer and be somewhat bold and say Boston in 6. I know I'll be wrong, but one can dream.

Heat and Spurs both in 6 is my best guess. keep in mind that OKC was a couple of great late game comebacks from still playing right now. wouldn't shock me in the least to see the Spurs handle the Thunder pretty easily.
in the end, I'll say Spurs win the finals in 7 against the Heat

Even as a Heat fan, I say Heat in 5, Spurs in 7, and then Spurs in 6.

OKC has more talent, but San Antonio is just so deep and its a core group who've been doing it their entire careers. The Thunder really have their work cut out for them, I'll take the Spurs in 6.

Even if they redid that draft Turner would only go behind Wall, Cousins, Monroe, and Paul George. I guess probably Favors too.
