I thought we weren't allowed to curse in thread titles?

We aren't, Julius edited it.

I'm surprised he didn't change it to Best Tennessee Bracket.

You don't know how close I was to doing that.

I know, once your record starts skipping it don't stop.

Sorry guys. I figured it would get changed after I made my point. Could you imagine the four toughest teams all out of our bracket? Please let it be exactly like this in 18 days!!!

Umm, either way it'll be a tough bracket. A healthy GSW is tougher than any team out there, and they should be healthy by the 2nd round.

All you have to do is read the threads about the playoffs that are already created and you’ll find out!

There is no such thing as a healthy GSW this year. I can't imagine all those injuries heal and they're in tip top shape by second round IF they make it to the second round.

Uhhh, they'll be healthy by then. It's 6 weeks away.

And here I was going to compliment you on having the foresight and wittiness to use "trucking" in your thread title.

Compliment RESCINDED!

It's going to take some 4th qtr control to keep the 3rd seed...then it looks more and more like we'll face the Pels if we stay where we are

Curry's MCL strain AND sprained ankle will be 100%? I don't think so.

Uhh, his ankle is fine. MCL strain heals in 6 weeks.

 

[KingSpeed]

His ankle isn't fine. It hasn't been fine for years. You were in junior high the last time the man had a functioning ankle. Granted that wasn't that long ago.

 

[H.C.]

I'd rather be in the same bracket as Hou, than GSW.
Higher chance at the WCF imo.

Dude.. Quit commenting about me being in muddle school or high school or a newborn when such and such happened.

This MCL injury gives his ankle more time to rest. He's not going to be injured the rest of his career. The fact that you're predicting him to be injured again...

Problem is. Even their second team beats the Blazers in 6 games.

This trucking thread has me semi excited.

[Mediocre Man]

And if the playoffs had started the 3rd Sunday in December where would we be?

I only ask because it's just as relevant

 

[Rastapopoulos]

2 GS vs 7 Minnesota
3 Port vs 6 NOP

The strongest team in that bracket might be NOP...

You overstate your case (surprise). The last time Steph Curry's ankle caused had him to miss significant time was in 2011-12. From 2012-13 through 2016-17 he played in 78, 78, 80, 79 and 79 games. During that time he won two MVPs, two NBA championships and played in 21 playoff games in 2014-15, for a total of 101 games played that year. Pretty impressive for a guy with a non-functioning ankle.

Going purely on premature hypotheticals, I wouldn’t like to play New Orleans. Something about them that makes me uneasy.

But he is on a team that can't guard us. So there is that.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Yes, he is a two time MVP and two time NBA champion playing on one ankle on a trash team.

Of course, he will also tell us GSW only won their two championships because of injuries, and he won't even notice the unintentional irony.

I would definitely take that bet.
