Predict the First Round

[THE HCP]

The post said PG13 is good and I said "I agree." I think Jazz will win convincingly. They've been amazing on the road despite losing to us at Moda Center on final night.

Unfortunately, you don’t realize that he was replying to me and that I am now to you.

I'm thinking Blazers in 4...

I was laughing while reading you said he was GOOD. Utah hasp;aged better as a team this season for sure, but the playoffs are a different beast. Called differently and played differently. OKC has guys that have been thru that. I think that’s a huge factor in why I picked them.

Utah is a TEAM. OKC is not. Mitchell will provide enough O to get past this round.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

The Jazz defense is very good, but who steps up if Mitchell gets shut down?

Will be Rubio's coming out party this series.

(half kidding, mostly kidding.)

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

We're also talking about the Wizards who got beat by the Magic on Wednesday.

We got beat by Memphis.

Your point?

 

[KingSpeed]

I'm thinking Blazers in 4...

I'm feeling this too.

 

[KingSpeed]

We got swept by Memphis.

You're point?

We did not get swept by Memphis. We beat them in Memphis mid season and beat them again at home late in the season. Do you watch the games? Work on your spelling too.

You're right. Amended.

 

[tlongII]

I don't see any way OKC beats Utah. Utah's defense will dominate that series.

Is tlongII bragging again?

I didn't do this at the time, but I found an email I sent to a friend before the playoffs started and it's looking good so far (only the Bucks and Pacers threatening to mess it up - who'd've thought it was a mistake to bet against Nate McMillan getting out of the first round):

Is Curry out indefinitely?
Even if so: Warriors over Spurs
Pelicans over Blazers (sob)
Jazz over Thunder (suck it Westbrook)
Rockets over Wolves

Rockets over Jazz (sob)
Pelicans over Warriors (if Curry is out)

Rockets over Pels

Celtics over Bucks
Cavs over Pacers (just cuz LeBron)
76ers over Heat
Raptors over Wiz

Cavs over Raptors (just cuz LeBron, pt. 2)
76ers over Celtics

Sixers to the finals! (Unless LeBron...)

Can the Sixers beat the Rockets? Sure, why not? If Embiid is healthy.

Well, you got the 4 right.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Well, you got the 4 right.

Ouch. I even felt that one. Lol

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Looks like I’m the only one picking OKC over Utah? I think they will get a TON of calls from the refs, and that is HUGE in a playoff series.

Not huge enough, apparently.

Perfect on the first round! Thanks LeBron!
Not looking good on the second round already...
