This is going to be a good series. Lets go Portland!!

This is gonna be a really good series. I think Utah is the better team but you can't knock the top-end talent on OKC. I'm gonna need to think for a while before I make a prediction.

Nevermind.

Utah will win. Rubio and Exum can slow down Westbrook. The rest of the Jazz are significantly better.

These teams are going to kill each other in this series. Jazz in 7?

Jazz are going to need HCA if they want a chance to win the series. Outside of Houston this was the next worst match up for us. *sigh*

Not gonna vote until I know who gets the HCA.

And Portland vs Pelicans is a guarantee too?

I like Utah but if playoff Paul George shows up:

LarsV8 · Post #12 » by **LarsV8** » Thu Apr 12, 2018 2:47 am

Probably the best 1st round matchup

Ascrilas · Post #13 » by **Ascrilas** » Thu Apr 12, 2018 2:52 am

Jazz in 5 with HCA, Jazz in 6 without. I think Utah is legit and OKC is not.

Laure · Post #14 » by **Laure** » Thu Apr 12, 2018 2:54 am

OKC have way more proven playoff players than the Jazz. Gotta go with them, but regardless, going to be a good series.

OKC in 4 or 5 games.
1st one to say it. And that's not bold, that's confidence.

Uhmmmm... No they cannot... :lol:

Biased_Fan6425 · Post #17 » by **Biased_Fan6425** » Thu Apr 12, 2018 2:56 am

Jazz in 7.

Joey Wheeler · Post #18 » by **Joey Wheeler** » Thu Apr 12, 2018 2:57 am

OKC in 5 games. Maybe Utah can push it to 6 if they homecourt.

TravisScott55 · Post #19 » by **TravisScott55** » Thu Apr 12, 2018 2:57 am

Thunder in 7.

nbafan38 · Post #20 » by **nbafan38** » Thu Apr 12, 2018 2:58 am

Gotta see who gets home court, either way I'm leaning Thunder in 6 but if Jazz get home court could be Jazz in 7.
