@gt12 some play-ins will be good. The Lakers are going to smoke the Warriors unless Curry can somehow get 60 despite being guarded by 4 Lakers players.
Actually, looking at the rest, it's a bunch of games for teams going out in the first round
I have now stuck my money where my mouth is and have a bet on the Lakers to win the Championship.
Denver v Portland looks like the pick of the first round.
Most likely, but I still hope he scores 60, because fuck the Lakers.
The Celtics Wizards game could be fun.
-
It could be the Steph show and close game or a Lakers win by 20+
I like that LaMelo is still in the mix. The Hornets are fun to watch. The Pacers play an old school style and Sabonis is the focal point of their offence.
Westbrook is on a tear and I wouldn’t mind the Wizards upsetting the Celts. I like Daniel Gafford and Hachimura, they’re dunking machines!
Spurs and Grizzlies - too hard to pick. Both teams are very capable of playing some pretty abysmal ball....

Wtf! That must have hurt!!!

Adams was never really a big part of the Pelicans' offence, and combined with injuries didn't have the season we all hoped for.

The man from Rotorua continues to bank those cheques though....

When you look at his Per36 numbers , it was much of a drop off at all, same rebounding and blocks rate, 2.5 assists, he just didn't get many shots (and clearly shot FTS terribly).
He's definitely overpaid for that role, when you have Zion making shots at 60% , you just need someone banging the boards and defending

@canefan It's a scary proposition either way.
I’d definitely want the Warriors in a series, but perhaps not in a one off game.
Yeah. If AD and LBJ are playing, the Sun's will not win a 7 game series. The Warriors will need 4 lights out games from Steph because he's unlikely to get enough help from his team mates
-
I'm not confident in this iteration of the Suns advancing in a 7 game series against most of the WC teams, even including the Warriors. They've taken dramatic strides this season but Book has too often struggled to close out games and CP3 isn't going to do that several times in a series either.

Too young, not ready
-
@canefan that too.
We made some fantastic moves last off season in acquiring Paul and Crowder, but a talented young core of Book, Ayton and Bridges needs more than a couple of wily vets and some lumbering white guys to make the step up to genuine contenders. Maybe, just maybe, some play offs experience will be enough of a boost to spur them on next season but more likely we need another All Star calibre player who can immediately score 20 a night.

Hornets got raped today. Imagine what the boss man had to say.
I can not express my glee at LeBron being in the play-in games. I know it's very unlikely but Steph, fucking go son!
Why the hate bro!

@voodoo because he complained about the play-in tournament. But only when it became apparent that he was going to have to play in it.
He's a phenom mate. No doubt about it. He's also a hell of a person. But fuck LeBron.
Pfft, weak reason! The play-in does suck for the team that finishes 7th! I totally agree with him.
But I agree he wouldn't have said anything if it didn't affect him personally 🤣
