The West is stacked. Warriors Steph Curry Klay Thompson Kevin Durant Draymond Green Rockets Chris Paul James Harden Spurs Kawhi Leonard Coach Pop Thunder Russell Westbrook Paul George Carmelo Anthony Timberwolves Andrew Wiggins Jimmy Butler Karl-Anthony Towns Pelicans Anthony Davis DeMarcus Cousins Blazers Damian Lillard CJ McCollum Clippers Blake Griffin DeAndre Jordan Grizzlies Mike Conely Marc Gasol Nuggets Paul Millsap Nikola Jokvic Jazz/Kings/Suns/Lakers/Mavs suck
I'm thinking: 1: Warriors 2-4: Spurs/Rockets/Thunder This will be a blood bath 5: Timberwolves 6-8: Blazers/Nuggets/Clippers/Pelicans/Grizzlies/Jazz This will also be a blood bath 12-15: Mavs/Lakers/Suns/Kings
Good thing we can only predict and there are whole lot of injury, chemistry, locker room, coaching issues. Rox I think 2-5 almost locked. Without injuries, CP3 plays 75 games then 2-3. I always like surprises with the 5-8th seeds.
Lmao as long as Russell Westbrook is on a team, they'll lose in the fourth quarter. 1. Warriors 2. Rockets 3. Spurs 4. Wolves 5. Thunder 6-8 idc
i don't like our offense from the forward positions. our rebounding is also suspect, we're probably one of the shorter teams in the league. and we have some key rotation players who always miss games with injury. so i agree with your 2-5 locked range, with all the factors you listed coming into play. and i'm not sure how okc is going to come together and do overall, but i do think in direct matchups they are going to give us A LOT of trouble.
seems kind of pointless either way. you can either lose in the 2nd round or the 3rd round. kinda why i wasn't too torn up about our SA series last year. we probably weren't going to win another game even if we won that series. an mvp joined a 73 win team to prove how great he was. it has basically rendered the playoffs unwatchable/uninteresting. the regular season can still largely be enjoyed.
