Yeah and I know I misspelled their names and I really could care less

I'm ok with gsw simply cos they will play the lakers better than kings


But they play the C's better than anybody left.


Jayson Tatum needs a chance to redeem himself against these dudes.

Imagine a season where a 1st seed, a 2nd seed, and a 3rd seed all get upset in the first round. Regular season records don't mean jack at this point.

GS are better when Steph dominates the ball.

2 of the teams were inexperienced (Sac, Memphis) beat by experienced teams (Lakers, GS) and the other team their star got hurt (Giannis) and an experienced team (Miami) beat them. Not surprising

We need Reseeding.

The 8th seed beats the 1st, in the East. -- They should then have to play the 2nd Seed.
Instead the 2nd plays the 3rd, and the 8th plays the 5th seed???

In the West, 6th is going to play 7th, while 1st seed plays the 4th???
This is Stupid.

“#1 offense of all time”

Don’t even score 100 in a game 7

Kings not up for the moment. Puts some things in perspective when you think about how long some of their guys have been in the league without even making it this far. Good season to them, though. Fox was really fun to watch in a couple of these.

10 years from now, when the Warriors retire Looney's jersey, his video tribute is going to be 5 minutes of him driving guys under the basket to grab offensive boards.

I see it differently. I’m less sure of the Celtics chances against the Warriors than any other team out west (if we get there of course)

Steph would be the best player on the court in a way that old Lebron and AD (for all his great defense against the Grizz) simply aren’t

I thought Sabonis was an all-star? Shouldn’t allow a guy to grab 21 rebounds

In the west you say.


Celtics and Philly with a healthy Embiid could do it in the Finals. Nobody in the West has the stones or talent to do it..I guess maybe Denver if Jokic goes absolutely nuclear.


You think we do? :lol: Ill be rooting on them to get eliminated before the finals. Probably not against the lakers though. They can lose against denver.

Watching Tre Young get loose made me not want to see Steph. But C's should beat them. Surely Steph can't do it by himself

I disagree. If the 8th seed beats the 1st seed they earn the right to take their spot. It is as it should be.
