the jazz are the ideal matchup for a lot of teams imo. They just don't seem that formidable, especially missing bogdonavic. Also it'd be great to knock them out of the playoffs for the third straight year, while people like cowherd or espn keep ranking donovan and either gobert/conley as better than russ/james
Holy crap, the West (except for Lakers) just own the East. Mavs v. Bucks - was there any defense played by the #1 defense and DPOY/MVP????? Mavs actually beat Bucks at FT line. LOL
So what do the worrywarts want: OKC in 1st round (stay at 4th-5th seed) Or Clips in 2nd round (move up to 3rd seed)
Did anyone else see the refs replay if Nuggets player was out of bounds. Where was that when Durant ran to the stands to save a ball vs. Rockets???????
Kings Spurs Pacers 76ers. Are the remaining games. Should beat the kings and the spurs,but the Pacers and 76ers games are gonna be interesting
Rockets would have the 2 seed if they hadn’t become disinterested before the season was suspended and lost a bunch of games they shouldn’t have. Regardless I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Rockets lose in round one or win the West. There are a lot of good but not great teams this season in the West, plus the bubble is a whole unknown.
Lakers are disintegrating right before our eyes, not just one flaw but in every facet of the game: 3P, FT shooting, paint points, Ortg, etc.
i'd rather take OKC in the first round, and stay in the lakers bracket, and avoid the clippers since we have to choose. hopefully we can meet the clippers in the WCF after beverley and kawhi get injured. i worry about OKC because of all the pressure that will be on harden and russ, but i guess if we can't handle it, we don't deserve to be champions. If harden and russ choke, it would destroy their legacies. UTAH is the easy win IMO but oh well, it is what it is. hopefully CP3 will pull something trying to keep up with Russ.
I’m leaning this way as well. We might lose a couple to OKC, but we’ll win the series in the end. Would definitely love a match-up with the Lakers or 8/9 seed in the 2nd. Then, just hope the Clips get taken out and the Rox have a good shot at the finals.
