Great recap, as usual.
I guess the good news is that we won't face the Sixers in the playoffs haha. They are just not a good matchup for us (for anybody I guess): Too big, too long, too athletic. They are really a good team and are well coached. Just like the Celtics under Stevens (whom I consider to be an excellent coach), the Sixers elected to double Luka many times. I think it's the right decision against the Mavs and good coaches realize this. Unless KP comes back and gets into his bubble-self, we are doomed because of this.
On the plus side... well, hard to say. To cheer you up a little: I think this team can only get better and we are still hovering around .500. My expectation fpr this season is to finish with a winning-record, get into toe playoffs and get torched by the Lakers or Clippers as the 6th or 7th seed. I guess things could be worse.
