SGA invisible against the Bucks.

Barring a comeback, Celtics magic number vs. Thunder about to go down to 5.

If OKC faces the Lakers in the 1st round in a 1 vs. 8 matchup, OKC will go home.

One game samples don't always mean much, but if you were an OKC fan this kind of loss against this kind of team would feed right into your fears for the playoffs about size.

Watching OKC against the Bucks and OKC really showing signs of immaturity.
Cs will beat this OKC team next week.

Nuggets will probably get the 1 seed.

Not just size, they look hesitant, not confident.

Because of size IMO. Also they have been more vulnerable away from home which is normal, especially for a young team. At home they might just shoot the lights out and the Bucks would look slow and old.

Charles Barkley said if they meet the Lakers in the 1st round they're going to lose.
I agree.
OKC is lacking a big body like Al Horford or Xavier Tillman.

But of dubious health, conditioning, and durability.
And for once it won't be any kind of veiled insult to his character to point it out.

Meanwhile, the Warriors look old and slow and old. CP turnover machine in the 4th. Wolves about to take this if Steph doesn't go nuclear.

Lottery Warriors losing to the Wolves.
Rockets might catch GSW for the 10th spot.

That's why I said the Cs got a lottery pick when they got that GSW pick.
Even better when Brad converted that potential lottery pick into Jrue Holiday.

Not that it really changes much, but they do have Biyombo.

Having Biyombo in there is like playing 4 vs. 5.
They need someone better.
If they face Minny in round 1 then it's a fair fight.

I was a doubter about that GSW 1st being in the lottery. I may have been wrong there. Last lottery pick (the Romeo Langford/Aaron Nesmith zone!) but still.

Probably the worst year in 25 years to have a lottery pick.
