    If New Orleans wins today and GS wins tomorrow, will their series start earlier? or is the date of game 1 already set?

    Gotta wait a little...

    The playoffs begin April 14. Conference Semifinals will begin April 30/May 1 but could be moved up to April 28–29. The conference Finals begin May 15–16 but could be moved up to May 13–14.

    I hate this, I think if there’s a sweep for both just start their games in slots of game 6 and 7 of whatever which series suits best.

    Same but then I’m wondering if the Pelicans even need a rest at this time. They are on fire.

    The Pelicans do a lot of trapping which works against Portland because they don’t have a lot of shooters but that won’t work against the Warriors. All those double teams will lead to open wide 3s which feed into the Warriors hands.

    According to Coach Nick of BBALLBREAKDOWN, he thinks the defense is not as good as we think because everyone else is getting open looks instead of Dame and CJ.

    if they start to double players like KD with Klay and Steph on the floor, that would be stupid. This strategy is working against Portland. It's a good strategy against Portland.

    Portland looks more poised. They’re used to the Pelicans defense now and not playing so rattled and out of control. Making better decisions this game.
