The first round feels like a dud outside of the LAC/MEM series. We'll see if the Celtics have one more run in 'em and whether the LAL will get insane official help as they have the last mo or so. Should heat up nicely after the first rd.

I think the Chicago/Brooklyn match could be good.

I would like to see the Spurs win it all and if they don't, then Miami.

It could be competitive but it will be ugly and unpleasant. And neither has any shot of being competitive in the next round. Denver/GSW could be a fun ride but ultimately unfulfilling.

My 4 fav teams all play each other in the 1st rd.

Milw
Mia
GSW
Den

I agree, but I personally like those grinder, ugly possession defensive games and I can't wait to see what Harden has for OKC, even though Houston won't be advancing either.

honestly, I'm cheering for Miami. I love watching Lebron James.

I would like to see GS and the Rockets pull upsets. Since that is unlikely, I'd like to see the Clippers come out of the West. OKC wouldn't piss me off but I really dis-like Westbrook these days. His FGA vs Durant's will be a constant topic of convo I'm guessing.

Would love to see the defensive teams go deep; Indiana, Denver, Memphis. I'm actually really looking forward to the playoffs this year. In the west for championship hopes I'm rooting for San Antonio or OKC. I want Grandpa Duncan to get one more ring before he's out.

Spurs or Miami. Rockets too but they don't have a shot.

I'm lawling at those odds. Every team is at least 125/1, except the Bucks, 500/1. :lol:

That's what makes all of the hard work and sacrifice worth it, baby!! SUCCESS!!

The West is full of great matchups. The East not so much.

And lol at our odds.

Chuck Diesel · Post #14 » by **Chuck Diesel** » Thu Apr 18, 2013 10:44 pm

I'll be pulling for Bogut and the Warriors. Bogues has to be hoping Kosta Koufos gets a lot of minutes so he has someone to match up with. Otherwise there will be a lot of Javale Mcgee beating him down the court and dunking over his head.

Max Green · Post #15 » by **Max Green** » Thu Apr 18, 2013 11:26 pm

Where's the option anybody but the Warriors?

blazza18 · Post #16 » by **blazza18** » Fri Apr 19, 2013 1:53 am

Imagine a team not giving up on their young SF like we did for a win now piece. Kudos to GS for not moving Barnes for Pierce.

Max Green · Post #17 » by **Max Green** » Fri Apr 19, 2013 2:16 am

If GS had Paul Pierce they would have a legit chance at coming out of the West instead being a guaranteed first round out like they are now.

MikeIsGood · Post #18 » by **MikeIsGood** » Fri Apr 19, 2013 3:06 am

Thunder, obviously.

LUKE23 · Post #19 » by **LUKE23** » Fri Apr 19, 2013 3:09 am

I like pretty much every team in the West but SAS (sick of them but respect them) and Lakers (screw em). Honestly, don't really care about the East, don't like any of the teams.

And their future would be worse. They are a team looking just beyond this season. We should try it sometime.

Who Else (Other than Milwaukee) Are You Rooting For?
