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...

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.
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.

@mariner4life Fultz was every bit the first-round draft pick he's supposed to be.

He's better off in ORL than Philly. Lower expectations, better fit, and Philly aren't going to win anything anytime soon

@Bovidae they shut down Paul and it was easy from there. Adams was dealing with PJ Tucker for most of the game and only got 13 looks. He must be the most untrustworthy $100m player with the ball in the league. I know his post moves are average but to not feed him the ball in that situation is crazy. Schroeder and SGA were having an awful night and Adams had 17 in only 28 minutes and I think he finished with only 2 personal fouls. Crazy.
Edit: This is not an Adams hot take from Razbra again...

it's overdue though

Also, are the Rockets smokeys if the usual standard of playoff defense and reffing isn't there?
-
@mariner4life they were getting a shit ton of 50/50 calls and no calls.
-
@raznomore Yeah, you've got to question Billy Donovan's tactics against a team with no true C. Attack them in the paint.
