    This is pointless to put serious stock in... Kawhi didn't play in any of the matchups except the last one that we rested dudes... And Harden missed one of the games we played them.

    They and GS have 48 wins. LAC has 49. If they and GS lose then both LAC and GS will finish with 1 more win.

    Yeah you're right. I just penciled T-Wolves over the tanking Jazz as an automatic W but I guess you never know with Edwards possibly being suspended.

    Warriors vs Clippers is a hard game to predict...

    I want the Warriors to win. I want Wolves to lose with Ant suspension. That's puts Lakers vs Clippers in play. It puts Denver vs Warriors in 4 vs 5.

    What this also does is it puts Minnesota at 8. Making them play Memphis in Memphis. Memphis may win this time which would put them at 7... causing Minny to go play OKC.

    I would love this.

    NBA just rescinded Anthony Edwards tech. He's playing tomorrow.

    I'd prefer the Warriors winning, yes. Especially if the Rockets try to win their game and succeed. That would give us Denver or Memphis in Round 1 and force the Lakers and Warriors to face off.

    I would choose Grizzlies but with how bad they are playing lately, I question if they will even make the playoffs after their playin games...

    I think Clippers would be my next pick. I kinda want that feeling of Harden passing over the torch when we clap them.

    The only reason I might want the Nuggets is if they're discombobulated and their chemistry is a mess due to all the turmoil... so far they're not playing like it though. It can be a double-edged sword, sometimes a coaching change gives a team a boost for awhile.

    It’s not that any team is that scary, but the refs on a Lakers or Warriors series make it an almost impossible win. I’ll accept the results against any team if the field is level. I know our first year in the playoffs will be tough, I just want it to be organic.

    i agree - the refs are very much my consideration in wanting to avoid those teams... along with the Harden factor - i dont want the series decided by a bunch of foul calls...

    I will gladly take Denver if Murray is hurt.

    otherwise I prefer Memphis or Dallas obviously.

    Ultimately, I don’t really care. Let this team take the house money and let them rock.
