Thunder in 5 - Harden gets a game, but the main core of the Pelicans is too you yet. Thunder are too good.

Grizzlies in 7 - toughest match up of the playoffs. The difference is LMA over Young.

Spurs in 6 - Spurs have a bench and warriors don't. Not that benches are too crucial in the playoffs, but the Warriors are ultra shallow. Klay actually wins his match up with Curry playing off the ball.

Write up: Oh yeah!

Tough match up here.

Lillard >> Dragic
Wade > Green
KD >>>>>>> Green
Monroe < Love
Gasol >>>>>>>> Rookie center

Bench = Bench
Karl >>>> Ollie

Idk, I pick Blazers in 4.

Stars win titles. Lakers have 1, we have 5.

Lakers did a good rebuild, but not good enough to beat the Blazers.

Grizz in 6, but let me say what Derrick did in a very short time with what he inherited in Sacramento is astounding.
Spurs in 6 That frontcourt is so big and so deep and so good defensively. Going to struggle to score enough later, but enough to get by the Warriors here.
Blazers in 5. Blazers have no depth, but the Lakers aren't much deeper. And the starters are just too much better in Portland.

Thunder strategy--let our talent and depth and coaching prevail. 3 elite bigs, Kawhi and Hayward on the wings with Reddick and Allen absurd depth. Oh yeah and some guy named Russell Westbrook in full on beast mode.
