OKC has become my least favourite team to face. It use to be Memphis. When fully healthy with the new additions, OKC is pretty stacked. First round, ideally, we'd face: 1) Clippers 2) Memphis 3) Utah 4) OKC
KD/Aldridge/Love stay out, Rockets play up to full potential is ideal scenario. Its the only way we have a shot at a ring
I guess I'm the only one who wants no part of the Thunder, even if that looks like the likely opponent. I think they're a much worse matchup than Memphis.
Agree with anyone but Utah. 1) Griz 1st round, come on, we all want a warrior v. okc first round 2) Warriors 2nd round 3) Spurs West Final 4) Cavs
I dont want to see a utah series. Just thinking about the helicopter view of SLC that they will show when coming back from a commercial makes me ill. LAC first round, we cruise through a 5 game series to the 2nd round.
Looks to me like GSW are giving the Spurs the number 1 seed to avoid the Jazz in the 2nd round. Second Round (if things go according to most people's schedule) 1) Spurs 4) Jazz 2) Warriors 3) Rockets (OKC is much tougher with Gibson and McBuckets spreading the court.....not an automatic series win) Warriors/Rockets/Cavs are built very similar and all 3 have had trouble playing teams with big front courts this year. Warriors probably feel more confident facing the Grizz in first rd than Utah in 2nd. Just my opinion. Edited: I doubt the Warriors rest players going into the regular season games vs Houston while being only 1 or 2 games ahead in the standings.
