I'm curious...which team would you prefer to be matched up against in the 2nd round?

Tough question bro. The Rockets were more comfortable against the Jazz during regular season, but this is a different Jazz team with a healthy Gobert. OKC would also give us trouble just due to the sheer talent they have. Splitting hairs imo.

Strategically probably Jazz because the Rockets would try to pull Gobert out of the paint in a pick and roll, allowing more space in the paint. OKC is also less predictable and super streaky.

Westbrook needs to bully Rubio this entire series.

This is the problem Utah faces. How do they deal with teams when they pick up the intensity on defense and play switchier lineups? They don't have the personnel to combat it minus Mitchell.

That's putting a lot of pressure on a rookie.

Mitchell was limping then WB was limping for a minute

I like the tension between those two teams

Think OKC star power is too much in this series..and home court advantage? Think OKC in 6 or 7.

I love both of these teams, isn't there a way to advance them both?

Why are we getting a dumbed down version of Adams every year in the playoffs?

Where is the regular season Adams?

Sixers fans mostly. People are getting so heated about a stupid award like ROY that they will bash the other to make their guy look good. They are both great players, period.

C'mon man, as an outsider fan Sixers fans weren't saying that. Maybe a few of them were, but whenever I saw Sixers fans bring up Mitchell's efficiency it was always in comparison to Simmons' efficiency.

Ironically, most of the season Mitchell had a better TS%, and Simmons finished with just like 1.5% better TS%, but far less points.

It won't shock me if either of these two win it all. DEFENSE. Probably the only PO teams that gives extra premium to D.

Mitchell got shoved out of bounds, not sure what happened to Westbrook.
