Not interested in the Eastern playoff series at all, not until Pacers and Heat. All of the Western playoff series could go either way honestly, should be some good series.

I hope to see the clippers fail. Rooting for the Spurs to win it all one more time.

I highly doubt the Pacers will be playing the Heat.

Why would it be highly doubtful?

Because they've sucked for the last 3 months, seem to be coming apart at the seams, and just got worked over at home by the Hawks? If they win this series I'd favor the Bulls or Wiz beating them also. The Heat would turn these guys into roadkill.

I have little doubt they beat the Hawks, the Hawks are not a good team, the Pacers will come back. Then all they have to do is beat the Bulls or the Wizards, I wouldnt call beating the Hawks then the Bulls/Wizards highly doubtful.

Probably will say this again someday, but I could say it over and over. I certainly said it at the time. We should have drafted Klay Thompson.

We would have choked so hard in the playoffs. All these close games, it would have been infuriating to piss those all away.

Blazers suck, that roster isnt going anywhere. You aint gonna win if all you do is shoot jumpshots and play no defense.

they don't have roster depth to pass Houston, even if Houston lost Beverley.. The shots will stop falling down.. Even if they pass they'll get a broom from SAS most likely.

I want them both to lose. Can't stand Howard and Harden, too. Also the Clippers and the Warriors. So many annoying teams in the western playoffs. It's so bad, I'm even rooting for San Antonio.

Probably we should have traded Pekovic for Millsap + Carrol earlier... They both increased their value nn #1 game. Bulldozer is good coach: good game plan, exploited IND weaknesses, rotated starters and bench players.
