On the latest The Mismatch podcast, they were discussing playoff teams in a "level of belief scale" style, and he refused to say that the recent play has changed his belief in the Pels, and he basically argues we can't beat anyone in round 1.

Dude is not having a good time with Memphis being dogshit terrible and the Pellies being good finally. Every day is a bad day.

I’m loving the consistency of this team and overall professionalism, but what first round matchups do you feel confident in or that we would be favored in Vegas?

LAC vs Pels - we won’t be favored bro.
Suns vs Pels - we won’t be favored bro.
Den vs Pels - we won’t be favored bro.
Kings vs Pels - you got me here bro.

I read this as "Venmo is still salty about the Pellies" and was really confused.

So you think we should all be miserable fricks like you because we can be happy about winning 13 of 17 games?

Nah, I just prefer honesty and realistic expectations. This whole thread is stating someone is salty about our team when we all KNOW the reality that we haven't beaten a solid team since the Clippers. It's just disingenuous to act like we aren't lucky with all these damn injuries piling up.

A team can be both lucky and good. The Pels have been both over the last month or so.

After our injuries over the last 5 seasons, I don’t expect anyone who follows this team to apologize for beating teams with injuries. I am just going to enjoy the hell out of it and continue praying that we stay healthy.

Barring some crazy streaks by someone, we are getting the Clip Clips in the first round, maybe as the 4 but probably as the 5. They come here on Friday. It will be a good barometer as to where they are right now. What any random talking head, or what Vegas says, is irrelevant.

I can't listen to that podcast. I just can't take his raspy voice.

I also initially read this as Venmo

But yes Chris Vernon is a bitch, I don’t even know why he hates the Pels. I guess it stems from the Ja vs Zion, pick 1 vs pick 2 debate, but I really don’t know.

Not saying that we should do anything other than attempt to win every game we can, but I would prefer to get the 6 seed and play Minnesota in the first round. And then potentially the Thunder in the second.

Thats just so hard to predict and manipulate. Next thing you know- you’re in the play-in. Just try to win every game and get the highest seed possible.

It's a lot of that and being mad that we are the emerging young team he envisioned the Grizzlies to be

Hes a biased Grizzlies fan and honestly its bad journalism not to have objective takes if you’re working for a national sports reporting company.

The Pacers are a solid team, the clippers are a great team and a low key finals favorite. I appreciate you underselling though.
