I thought as much over the course of the season. But, after watching these games so far. Confirmed. Especially considering Hayward's injury. Houston Portland LAL LAC Thank God the NBA playoffs are back!!
Hmm, now maybe they come out of the East. Hayward is out for 4 weeks, half of the journey. The East is getting crapped on every year so no breaking news. Raptors want to show Leonard they can beat him without someone like him.
You are basically stating the obvious, as this has been the case almost every year since the 2000. The West is loaded, and the east is very top heavy, with Boston, milwakee and the raptors looking like contenders. I wouldn't sleep on miami. I'm not saying they are favorites for the east, but I wouldn't be shocked by it. They have a ton of shooters and good players. If they get hot, they will be hard to guard.
The west has sent a team to the finals every year that I can remember, so yeah the possibility exists.
Raptors is underrated. Raptors > Bucks if we beat clipppers in wcf then we taking the ring this year.
If the Celtics can get Hayward back in time, they can challenge the Western Conference champ. Not sold on Toronto.
I doubt Bucks are getting past Celts, Miami or the Raptors. One of those other 3 teams are gonna be the ECF Champ. For the West I think who wins Lakers/Rox are gonna be the WCF Champs and be the eventual champion. Playoff P playing like a scrub and Bev seems to be injured (again) so I'm def not sold on the Clips. Too bad Doncic got injured I think Dallas could've worn the Clips out.
