I personally think this scenario would call for an awesome first round of the playoffs in the West. 1) GSW 8) OKC 4) POR 5) HOU 2) MEM 7) SAS 3) DAL 6) LAC All the underdog teams would have a really good shot at an upset. I would think every series would have to go at least 6 games.
We would hope we wouldn't have another game up by two with a second left lol But it sure would be nice to get some payback
GS MEM POR DAL/HOU HOU/DAL LAC SA OKC I don't know why, but LAC and OKC are the only two teams I want to avoid. Probably not giving the other teams enough credit, but as things stand now I like our chances against anyone but those two this year.
GS POR MEM DAL SA HOU OKC LAC Idk... there's so many scenarios it's just a crapshoot. Our play as of late has gotten me to be less enthusiastic, I originally thought we'd snag HCA.
We are a half a game behind that right? Rockets will be fine. They have some chemistry issues right now, but they moved the ball around really well last night. Yeah the Knicks suck, but they still weren't "sticky"!
I can't see OKC not making into the playoffs. It's still so early and before that last injury to Durant, they were on a tear.
No forget that. I want a rematch of last year's playoff except we hit the 3 to send them home. I want their fans to feel what we felt when Lillard hit that 3.
I can see it now... Game 6 at Toyota Center Rox lead the series 3-2, but the game is tied and Portland has the ball with 2 seconds remaining. Batum is the inbounds man and is closely guarded by DMo...TJ looks on from the bench Ariza is on LMA while Dwight is on RoLo. Bev is on Lillard and Harden is on Matthews. The ref hands Batum the ball and the play is in motion. LMA is on the weak side block and draws a double team. But, he's the decoy! LMA flashes out to the corner just enough to screen Bev off the curling Lillard! The entire arena goes silent as they know exactly where Batum will feed Lillard Ariza fights as hard he can to try to recover but he can only do so much. The ball leaves Batum's hands just as Lillard reaches the dreaded right wing... But what's this? Harden comes out of nowhere to intercept the pass! He was ball watching instead of face guarding Mathews in the strong side corner! 2 seconds He gains control and dribbles to midcourt 1 second Harden shoots a straight-away three and... BZZZZZZZ SWISH! Toyota Center goes wild! Harden is mobbed by everyone. Amin Elhassan is consumed by his hatred and ceases to exist. Fin
That would be interesting. We all know what happened 10 years ago when Houston and Dallas met in the playoffs. Revenge time! Would be sweet if Terry had a huge game in Dallas against them lolz Would be surprised if the NBA would like that :grin:
I just hope MEM and PHX can make life tougher for the other WC seeds, and Josh, TJ and Dwight get healthy at the right time for the playoffs.
1. Warriors 2. Grizzlies 3. Rockets 4. Trailblazers 5. Mavericks 6. Clippers 7. Spurs 8. Thunders Suns and Pelicans make a good push but comes up short. Thunders beats the Warriors 4-3 Spurs beats the Grizzlies 4-3 Rockets beats the Clippers 4-3 Mavericks beats the Blazers 4-3
Too hard to say since the deadline might make some changes, but if we have the same team, I see us not higher than top 5 seed: 1. Warriors 2. Blazers 3. Spurs 4. Mavs 5. Grizzlies 6. Thunder 7. Rockets 8. Clippers
