Looks like someone voted for two eastern teams... :wavefinger:

Yeah, I like Washington. Bucks or Raptors would be pretty cool too. Had to go with the Jazz in the West.

I only placed one vote total ...for the Raptors.

My teams out west are GSW, SAS and PDX in that order

Call me cynical, but I dont think an IT lead team can make any noise in the playoffs. Also, taking into account how poor Boston is on the glass, I dont think their team is balanced enough to fight in the playoffs. If Wade and Rondo play healthy, I wouldnt be surprised at an upset.

Chicago in 6

I'm hitching my playoff wagon to the Pringles Man.

I wouldn't call you cynical and I agree with your take on an IT lead Celtic crew, so I'll take any shots with you, but standing just a bit behind your bold prediction...

..I got the Celtics finding/fighting their way past the Bulls, then having their hands handed to them by the Bullets...er? The Wiz!

I added my second vote for the Clips out west. Still prefer Dubs, Spurs and Blazers (yeah right) but my #4 choice would be LA from the West

Post #9 » by **Qwigglez** » Fri Apr 14, 2017 8:45 am

I'm rooting for the Blazers, but of the teams listed, the Jazz are my other team in the West. I like the Wizards because of Beal and Wall. The Raptors are my other East team.

I picked Indiana in the East because I'd like to see them go far so that Paul George decides to stay in the East rather than going to LA in a couple of years.

For the West, I went with OKC. I'd love to see Westbrook carry that team on his back throughout the gauntlet that is the Western Conference and take down his two former teammates in Harden and Durant.

I know that both of these things are very unlikely though.

It would be amazing if the Cavs, Spurs, and Warriors all lost in the first round. It would be refreshing and a much needed kick to the balls of the league.

Gross. I think I hate every one of the players on the Clippers more than I hate anyone on any other team.

That's bad.

Bucks all the way - gotta support my fellow Aussies

LukasBMW · Post #15 » by **LukasBMW** » Sun Apr 16, 2017 2:28 am

Cavs are gonna beat the Pacers. They are just a better team.
The Bucks may upset the Raptors.
SAS will make quick work of Memphis. Damn it.
Utah will break the hearts of loyal Clipper fans.

GSW will win easily
Houston will pull it off
Washington will destroy Atlanta
The Bulls may give the Celtics an unexpected hardtime but in the end the Celtics will win.

So the Bucks and the Jazz are my only upsets.

Would have loved to see the Pacers pull that one out. Down to the last shot. Too bad George couldn't take it.

HUGE game winner from Joe Johnson. Sucks Gobert left with an injury. Hopefully he's not out long, but it didn't look too good.

Clippers didn't get the bounce in their favor this time.

Damkac · Post #18 » by **Damkac** » Sun Apr 16, 2017 11:38 am

Raps and Clips losing in the PO? I'm shooked!

LukasBMW · Post #19 » by **LukasBMW** » Sun Apr 16, 2017 5:20 pm

Gobert with no ligament damage. If he can return by game 3 or game 4, I like Utah still.

Disappointing to see Atlanta playing half assed basketball when they were in striking distance of Washington. Atlanta is heartless. All their players look like they are ready for vacation.

Boston got outrebounded 53 to 36 on the glass and dropped Game 1 at home...

However the Celtics are going through some tough personal circumstances right now. Best wishes and condolences to IT, that is a tragic thing to happen. Wish him all the best.
