The Raptors were completely mismatched today Yeah that looked like a team that wasn’t ready against a one seed on fire. I don’t expect it to look like that all series |

Jamal Murray and Donovan Mitchell been putting on a show Another 50 piece for Murray It seems like every year Utah/Denver/SA/Portland go 7 games with each other and then lose in like 5 the next round. |

Yea, pretty much It has been the best series by virtue of it not being a sweep but whoever wins getting smoked next round by Clippers |

Wish the East was the same way. Not a ton of great series' out East. Philly/Toronto was good. IT/John Wall series was legit. That's all I can think of. |

Can Marcus Morris get suspended at least one game for the NBA to pretend it gives a s**t about player safety? That’s two games in a row where he actively went out of his way to injure or hurt the opposing team’s best player. I loved what Morris brought to my Celtics from 2017 to 2019, but there’s no room in the game for outright cheap shots like he delivered to Luka Doncic in the past two games of the Mavericks-Clippers series.

The West you can usually depend on to have at least 4 teams that can f*** each other and on a good year even the 8th seeds have just had bad luck because if they were in the East, they'd be a top four team It has been a while since the East had a good contest. This is one of those years where I wish the best of 16 in any conference |

No travel restrictions, TV schedule is whatever for the same reason, and you could have gotten like a fun Bucks/Suns or Blazers series. |

This was the year to experiment I fully expect them to try to keep that 8-9 matchup. It's not a bad idea in theory but it doesn't fix the overall problem of whoever wins is taking an ass whooping from the first seed The first 2 game of the playoffs in the series were exciting but ever since then, the favorites are smoking everyone like we all expected |

I'm so looking forward to this Milwaukee/Miami series. It should be great. This round I got:
Milwaukee in 7, even though I want to see the Heat win
Toronto in 6
Lakers in 5 regardless
Clippers in 5 against Denver or 6 against Utah

Miami is a nightmare match-up for Milwaukee. Great defensively and especially in the paint, and deep enough that Giannis is gonna have to go LeBron mode and only rest for like 4 minutes a half because their reserves aren't great.

So Miami takes game 1
Milwaukee better not be in the mindset that they think they can just turn it on when they want because Miami aint gonna play that game but will make them pay.
It would have IMO cost the Clippers if not for Dallas luck with just piling up injuries and bullshit tactics from Marcus Morris , would not be surprised to see Clippers have a repeat again against whoever they get next round and get dragged to 7 games for it specifically if it is Denver as Jamal Murray is playing out of his mind.

30 seconds left in a tied elimination game and Harden is still out here just wanting a ref call. You get the feeling that CP3 really wants to stick it to his old team.

Great defensively and especially in the paint, and deep enough that Giannis is gonna have to go LeBron mode and only rest for like 4 minutes a half because their reserves aren't great. The Heat also know that they have the luxury of knowing they only have to really contain one guy. They stop Giannis from going off, their chances of winning go way way up. No one else on the Bucks has consistently shown they can step up to fill in if Giannis is held down. Now the question is, can they do that 3 more times in the next, potentially, 6 games? I won't be shocked if they do it. |
