    I'm going with the Pelicans, I have faith in AD and their superior backcourt (no Curry) to at least get them 1 game in Oakland, taking two games at home with a rusty Curry - if he's back at all - and then closing it out in front of their home crowd.

    Rockets vs Pels in the WCF thats 80% chance.

    Another 20% is GSW in 7 games, being banged up against us.

    Either way, we are good.

    It's sounding like Curry's out for at least the first two games. If that's the case, I actually give the Pelicans a decent shot at the upset. Maybe 35%. Anyway, I'll go out on a limb and say New Orleans in 6. Partly because I hate the Warriors, but also because the Pelicans are playing as well as any team in the postseason.

    Warriors in 7 because Curry will be back in this series at some point.

    This will be a good matchup.

    Can't wait to watch Rondo and Green bump heads (probably literally and figuratively) once it becomes physical.

    Either way this will be a dog fight and a tough out for Golden State to make.

    I say GS in 7.

    if NO can replicate playing as well as they did against portland they give themselves a chance to win some games. but every series is completely different and we know GS is a whole different animal. lets see what gentry focuses on in this matchup against his former team

    If Alvin Gentry keeps getting drunk the night before games, Pels win in 6

    Pelicans don't look like the first round team, everyone cries how unfair it is. ;) @Os Trigonum

    Didn’t even think this series would be a thing coming into the playoffs, much less one that I would be so excited about.

    I want to pick NO and am rooting for it to happen, but I don’t see them beating GS even without Curry. Durant is too good when he wants to be. Warriors in 6. I think NO can steal one in Oakland for sure. Hopefully it’s just a long, physical series and Draymond piles up some techs :)
