Jazz, Clippers or Thunder, Lakers?

Yeah I'm not super eager to play OKC. They're a good team with size and guards that don't turn the ball over. A loss to them would be historic and the narratives from it would follow Harden and Westbrook for the rest of their careers.

 

I thought that Shroeder would miss the first round to be with his wife who is going to give birth.

 

looks like the kid already came out!

 

Exactly, that 3 guard lineup will give the Rockets fits.

 

Lakers looks easy to play but it is better to play in the final. Thunder and clippers are not the favorite. vs jazz in 1st round is good.

 

Memphis Grizzlies dealt with it just fine.

They smashed Thunder today. This scary team lost by 29 points.

Should we also fear Grizz too?

 

Jazz.....because their strength (defensive player of the year candidate) is their weakness when playing Houston.

Then Lakers in the second round. Lakers strength of AD in the post just isn’t proficient enough vs us. Gets nervous
with all the lengthy defenders around him....resulting in deflections, steals, blocks....resulting in fast breaks the other
way.......resulting in more 3’s!!!

Feel Rockets can pass Denver but choose not

 

Trying to manipulate standings can backfire.

Just destroy whichever team we play.

 

Denver trying to move ahead of Clips. No tanking to avoid opponent?

They have my respect.

This season.

 

Rockets and their fans just need to embrace this.

We got this!!!!

 

I dont see that german D schroder at all in the box score and adams was injured, grizz got lucky

 

It was probably because brick was with them then and know the situations reversed

 

We wouldn’t get past the Blazers

 

I want us to be the ones to knock the Lakers out of the playoffs. Ohhhhhhh how fun that would be. King James and AD knocked out by the Beard and his mini men.

 

Yea I want the Lakers bracket.

 

They beat them by 29 points, that wasn't luck. That was a massacre.

Schroeder is a back up just like EGo. And Thunder had their 3 best players - CP3, Gallo, SGA. Injuries happen, especially in playoffs.

If you have your 3 best players then you dont get boatraced in the bubble where every game counts.

Fearing OKC is weak.

Rockets will get "lucky" too when they meet.

 

I wanted to play the Clippers in the Finals, but strategically it makes sense to play ol' Lebron after he's played through a couple series, while it's better to play the Clippers before they gather chemistry and momentum (fully healthy haven't played together much).

Clippers are the better team though. Jazz are fodder, we'll eat them up no problem. Beating the Jazz never gets old.

 

i'll embrace it when i have to, that's the last team i want to play, the underdogs with chips on their shoulders. how has roberson been playing? is he back to his old harden stopping ways? if he is, they have the perimeter defense to give us fits.
