NBA season 2018/19

I smell a big choke coming from the Sixers.
-
My picks:
Bucks vs Pistons;
Celtics vs Pacers; Bucks vs Celtics;
Sixers vs Nets; Sixers vs Raptors; Raptors vs Celtics
Raptors vs Magic;Warriors vs Clippers;
Rockets vs Jazz; Warriors vs Rockets;
Blazers vs Thunder; Thunder vs Nuggets; Rockets vs Nuggets
Nuggets vs Spurs;Rockets to beat the Celtics in 6 to win it all. Harden plays frustratingly (I will be so mad if Giannis doesn't get the MVP) but I really like CP3 who was shafted from the MVP award in 2008. Rockets and Harden winning is the lesser of two evils if they knock out the Warriors!

Luke Walton and the Lakers have parted ways, no surprises there. That makes 3 coaching vacancies after the Kings and Grizzlies fired their coaches. Both of those were a bit odd, considering that the Kings had a good year by their recent standards and developed a young core. And Memphis sold the core of their roster midseason

Wow that was quick
Sources: Walton reaches deal to coach Kings
Luke Walton, who mutually parted ways with the Lakers on Friday, has agreed to a deal in principle to coach the Sacramento Kings, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Luke Walton will coach a very promising young Kings team next season. I think that will suit him very well

Results from the playoffs so far.
Upset city in the East
Nets over the 76ers game 1
Magic over the Raptors game 1
Sean Marks has done an amazing job as GM of the Brooklyn Nets.
Wow, I'm sure these series will even out but it generates interest. You are right about Marks, he is getting plaudits for rebuilding the Nets from the ashes and rightfully so

The stitch up was on in the 2nd quarter against my Clippers.
-
Spurs!!!

Sorry Torrey, you're my boy, but...

Don’t be sleepin on my Clippers.

Bump

so very quiet in this thread, is that because the Thunder are getting owned?
Bucks and Celtics sweep their opponents
Every other series looks to be at 3-1 to the favourites
Nuggets and Spurs at 2-eachProbably the biggest story in the first round is that lead the Warriors gave up. Other than that it all seems to be going according to script.

I haven't seen any of the games, but I read this morning that some commentators are now picking the Thunder to trade Adams.
Has he been that bad?
Hard to look good on the offensive end when you almost never get the ball and are encouraged to pass first. He could thrive on the right team, and guys with his size and ability will always be in demand

They sort of hinted at that; so is it that he’s too expensive for the return they are getting? And that giving him up is easier than giving up greedy mcgreedyguts?
I can only assume because I hadn't heard the rumour until now. He seems like a no ego guy who realises he has won the lottery and this is a way to set him and his up for life and more. He will tow the line in OKC if required, if he goes he will probably be better off

Good win for the Jazz today to avoid being swept.
Happy for the Bucks who got their first series win in ages. I think their last series win was back in the Ray Allen days when they almost made the NBA finals.
