Random NBA Observations 2018 - 2019

[Tony D'Amato]

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.

 

[Flex Grossman]

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

Popped up in Boca Raton

 

[Brozay]

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

Portland has a great shot at the 3 seed though. Beat the Kings at home and Denver beats Minny at home, Portland is 3.

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 )

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

Damn just saw that. Welp GS lucks out and avoids Houston until the WCF potentially.

Utah will beat The Rockets.

Luck? Blame the defending champs for securing the 1 seed brehs

What you meant to say was rockets lucked out and avoided the dubs

 

[SchoolboyC]

I dont care if you're tanking that's inexcusable on a pride level


you're sleeping on 6ers/Nets, the Nets can keep it close most nights with Brett's awful rotations and TJ McConnell being food against Dinwiddie. As long as they get a few nights where NoL aint 100%, it could be interesting.

I ain’t sleeping on shyt

Nets had a nice season and all but they’re gonna he quick work

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.
