I think Portland WILL beat the Lakers in the first round after they dust up the Grizzlies. They'll be battle hardened and have a ton of weapons in Dame, CJ, Melo and Nurkic. I certainly hope so anyway.
I personally $1,010 hope they win the whole comp

Blazers present some matchup problems for the Lakers especially with no Danny Green to play Dame and the Blazers have shooters.
LBJ and AD will do their thing but it’s on the defensive side where the Blazers could exploit.
Lakers going big - Javale, AD, Lebron, Kuzma, White Mamba - would be one way to deal with them.
-
@ACT-Crusader yep, its going to be quite a bizarre series if it happens. Lakers will be praying for Memphis for sure

I'm passionate to the point of $808...

Ball is not life in this LAC vs OKC game.
Some guys who seemed to have met each other in the bubble get 25+ minutes together is going to that.
Mann was the man tonight. I had to...

Portland can't play any sort of defense. If the Lakers can get some half decent minutes from the non-Lebron/AD players then they win in 5 or 6 IMO.
And while 'battle hardened' is true, you could also argue a bit of fatigue might set in. Lakers have been cruising, but Portland have been playing pressure games for two weeks now.

LBJ has been resting all this time. I csnt recall him not turning up in the playoffs

That was good playoff intensity ball. Ja will learn some lessons there as he made some costly turnovers in that 4th quarter, being a little careless with the ball.
Blazers in 6 😉

It will be fascinating to watch (although I'm struggling to get into bubble ball right now). It is hard to bet against LBJ in the playoffs, even though LAL have looked poor in the bubble so far. I think that when the round starts, LBJ fires up and with AD they will be more than a match for the Blazers. But I son't think they will take them lightly
-
Mitchell drops 57 but it's still not enough to get the Jazz past Denver in OT.
Raptors predictably take care of the Nets in a high scorer
-
That wasn't a rough call on the unicorn. It was a blatant call to get either Luka or Porzingas out of the game to ensure the Clippers go through to the next round. According to twitter.
Porzingas should have known better than to choke Morris's hand with his throat.

Bucks lose the first, and easily.
Heat win as well.
