Pistons are playing for the playoffs tonight and Blake Griffin knee issues have returned. Dude is legit cursed as far as health goes. @pete clemenza I can now admit the Clippers were smart. But its still fukk em.

Dang blazers really intentionally put themselves in the warriors side of the bracket.
Now I gotta hope okc beats Houston or we’re getting swept in the 2nd round
Now I gotta hope okc beats Houston or we’re getting swept in the 2nd round
Based on how tonight’s schedule is looking I’m expecting a 1st round of:
Bucks/Magic
Raptors/Pistons
76ers/Nets
Celtics/Pacers
Warriors/Clippers
Nuggets/Spurs
Blazers/Thunder
Rockets/Jazz
Snooze outside of Celtics/Pacers, Nuggets/Spurs & Blazers/Thunder
absolute snoozefest outside of Blazers/Thunder & maybe Rockets/Jazz
those Eastern conf matchups are trash
My dream scenario (not happening since Bucks are benching Giannis) would be Spurs/Bucks/Clippers/Blazers/Nuggets winning tonight.
Round 1:
GS vs. OKC
Denver vs. LAC
Portland vs. SA
Houston vs. Utah
Round 2
GS vs. Hou
Denver vs. SA (hopefully). (even better if the Clippers upset Denver and SA has homecourt
)

Nuggets in 6
No reason to get the 3 seed if OKC wins. We got swept by the Thunder in the regular season...and that was with Nurkic. BLazers should avoid OKC at all costs.
@Serious I disagree on the Spurs. I think Pops coaching will get it to a 6-7 game series but I still think we win. If the Bucks somehow beat the Thunder tonight then we should try to get that 3rd seed.

I just remember the Rockets destroying Utah last season and don’t see why this year would be any different
Celtics/Pacers should be one-sided but the Celtics will make sure it’s competitive

Utah will beat The Rockets.
I ain’t sleeping on shyt
Nets had a nice season and all but they’re gonna he quick work
Luck? Blame the defending champs for securing the 1 seed brehs
What you meant to say was rockets lucked out and avoided the dubs
The luck aspect of it is the fact that the west has 4 legitimate title contenders (5 if my bias includes San Antonio :manuehh: ), yet Houston likely did just enough to avoid being the 4th seed and OKC had just enough issues to drop them below the 5th seed. I think the 8th seeded Clippers put up a bigger fight against GS than Portland or Utah would.
