We’re one big man away from being a legit contender. Until then, we can still win it all. Luka disappeared in the GSW game so we can expect a kickass next showing against them.

LAL-GSW series, we win in 7
LAL-HOU series, we win in 6
LAL-DEN series, we win in 5
LAL-OKC series, they win in 6
LAL-LAC series, they win in 6

If we get lucky with matchups we might get another chance to beat the Celtics. I hope CLE smacks their ass, though.

I agree with most except GSW, only way It goes go game 7 If someone outside of Jimmy/Curry goes off each game and I don't see that happening each game and I see LAC win In 5 maybe even sweep.

Lakers got to learn to stop those random players from going off against them, they do that then GG

Yeah as we got the playoffs, do we:

A: beat the **** out of them both games to establish dominance?
B: Poke a bit to see how they react and know their DNA for a series vs what the Lakers makeup looks like?

and before you go full Robocop on dominating... classic Rockets and Lakers used to check people out without needing w's on the regular so they could have playoffs figured out.

Same with McNuggets. Same with GSW, which is why we need to win decisively tonight.

Dallas and Clippers will cause trouble for us in seven games.

Dallas cannot get into anything higher than an 8th so we arent seeing them.

Clippers you think will cause us issue?


We could still see Dallas in the WCF.

Yeah, I worry less about Dallas without Flat Earth, but J Kidd is no dummy when it comes to defense, and AD is the best defensive big man in the game.

Clippers worry me because of rebounding and a load managed Leonard. I still think Zubać should be playing for us.

win this one and we've clinched playoffs.

Hayes needs to rebound better in this game.

The thing was, Nico was actually doing a good job. Picked up klay. Picked up kyrie. Went to the finals. Then all of the sudden? Boom! Just blew it up! Total self inflicted disaster

Solid win. What a performance by Luka.

I severely underestimated him when he and AD first got swapped. I was pissed, lol. He’s a cold hearted clutch assassin.

Thrilled now that I’ve seen him play decent/solid defense(!) consistently, and that he’s now healthy and in game shape.

Historic performance.
