    Feels like this needed to happen, depending on how Lakers FA goes this is probably the last chance Curry and Lebron will meet in the playoffs.

    If the Grizzlies could shoot, then they could have beat the Lakers. The Warriors should be able to outscore the Lakers even if LeBron hits his regular season numbers and Davis dominates Looney and Draymond. Warriors in 5.

    Then again, there's a narrative out there that says LeBron wins this year's championship. So, we'll see.

    Would be fitting though wouldn't it? Gets the scoring record and wins the ship in the season season. NBA writes scripted it perfectly

    Must be nice for GS to not have to travel out of state for the first and second round.

    They couldn't have scripted it any better. o_O That's what they'll say.

    They could script whatever, LeBron and the Lakers have to do it, though. No choking, LeBron. Davis will have to put up with all the LeBron dick-riding while he's the more impactful player. Refs and magnets could only go so far. Not sure there will be enough sorcery and baby-eating to keep LeBron and Davis healthy for the rest of the playoffs either.

    Either way, I got my popcorn ready.

    First round they played in the city where they would have the most fans outside of their home arena.
    Second round its the same thing.

    Curry fixing to find out LeBron is Silverslippers's main b****.

    We'll also see where Draymond's allegiances lie.

    Both fan bases are highly delusional and annoying AF

    Seeing them tear each other apart in online comments might be even more entertaining than the actual games

    Is Curry gonna have to carry again or will Klay & Poole consistently show up? Can AD stay injury free with Draymond lurking around the paint?

    My mind says Warriors in 6.

    Adam Silver says Warriors in 7.

    This really shows how much the NBA ruined the regular season by adding the play-in. These two teams should not have been the 6th and 7th seeds. They load managed their way into the playoffs without giving a sh** about their records. My only hope here is that Denver takes care of business without injuries, then uses home court advantage to punish LAL or GSW in the conference finals.
