How old was Wade when he got his first one? Thunder are young. They can get caught slipping by any of the top eight teams to include the Clippers if Norm comes back.
I’m 50/50 on the Thunder coming out the west. It will be matchups. Minny is my favorite to knock them off, especially with them shooting the cover off the ball these last few weeks. As long as Randle plays his position, Minny is a scary team for everybody. You know they own the Nuggets. Houston are a few years away. Memphis is…
The West playoffs are going to be the best in a few years. Sucks the Mavs are hurt and the Suns can’t get right at all.
This is where I'm at, pretty much. We have the potential for having an All-Time postseason shaping up. I can conceive of at least 5 squads winning the West (OKC, Denver, Memphis, LA, GS), and Minnesota looking real "dark-horse"-ish right now!
Matchups are gonna be so important for literally everybody. No one can try to duck anybody because you might duck your dumb ass into a worse matchup
I don't think the Clippers can win the conference, but I do think they can upset somebody. So make that 7 seeds that I feel are legitimate threats. I didn't mention Houston because even though they're really good, I don't think they can win the conference either, but like the Clips they'll give a favored team a fight...
So legit all 8 seeds once the playoffs start, in The West, are gonna be fukking amazing. Rd2 series may be historically good!
The East it's just Cleveland or Boston, though I guess I put Milwaukee in that Houston/LAC bracket, Milwaukee could potentially upset one of them...
OKC and Shai have been phenomenal, but they are by no means a lock to win this shyt...
