    Not sure who holds tie breaker between the 2 teams.

    I really dont care because OKC does not scare me.

    thunder have quick guards that can get into the lane. that is our weakness. they are very well balanced. we havent played them since the capela trade so who knows how much that changes things. i dont fear them but i really hate all the pressure being on us and none on OKC. utah is clearly our best first round matchup. anyone who gets them will definitely advance.

    our best path is jazz, then lakers (hopefully lebron still isnt fully back)... after that dont sleep on denver with the emergence of porter jr. they still are not playing with their full roster. they have a ton of depth. they might give the clippers a run for their money in this bubble situation.

    i think the raptors may end up in the finals again.

    And no doubt they'll hit every 3pt shot against us.

    Aside from having no real fans in the arenas, there's no traveling to the opposition. There's a sense some participants, despite being advocates of making the bubble games happen, seem to have lost interest and are playing through the motions. The Laker Stars are a prime example.

    Lebron is about to pull the plug on this restart if the Lakers dont get their act together soon.

    honestly small ball has been bad in the bubble when we won also

    Dont be fooled by those 2 wins, while they do show that this team has heart, at the end of the day, we really had no business winning either game
