None of them have a hope in hell of coming back to win the series. They're all over.

As a paranoid fan of a historically terrible team, I can’t help but think that you just jinxed the Wolves.

Lakers in 9!

Nah don't stress.
I've said all along the TWolves will play Denver for the title.

If yall keep grinding, should finish this off.

As talented as the Suns are......... they are just way too dysfunctional, underachieving, inconsistent, and discombobulated.

They've got them right where they want them. Can't believe Denver is falling for the same tactic!

In what world would Philly be even money, let alone favorites, to win 4 of the next 5 games? If you think so you can make some real money, as the 76ers are +370 to win the series, while the Knicks are -520.

Sounds like a donation

I know PHX still hasn't played game 3 yet, but I thought Orlando looked the most promising, in terms of turning their series around

Sixers are winning their 1st round series. The Knicks have no answer for Embiid who is a +33. Nurse has been playing around with his non-Embiid minutes rotation and seems to have it figured out. If the Sixers just play even or close to even in the those non-Embiid minutes, the Sixers are about 10 points better than the Knicks.

The Knicks try and muck games up and the Sixers gave it right back to them in game 3. Once you punch a bully in the mouth, they cave. I expect the Sixers to roll in game 4. Take a close one in game 5 and end it in game 6.

Also, I think the Sixers are the more talented team. The Knicks, bless their hearts, play hard and hustle, but they're Jalen Brunson and a bunch of role players. They need a second star to pair with Brunson if they want to be legitimate contenders for a title.

I guess the answer is the Magic after blowing out their competition in games 3 and 4.

I would put my money on ORL. They just need to get their offense going.

Called the Magic. Now I need the Knicks to win tomorrow.

I'd actually still lean Philly in terms of actual ability to come back and win the series because I don't know if Orlando can win in Cleveland (that feels like a homecourt series to me) but we'll see.
