I was so excited to play Portland (and not Houston or Gs) but starting to get worried.

Anyway, here are the 2 biggest factors for this series in my opinion :
- PG13's health (we don't need MVPG to win this series but still a good Paul George perfomance; otherwise we are screwed
- Curious to see if the Blazers will get exposed without Nurkic or not (depending on their game plan and what our team will try to do against their bigs)

This series could go either way anyway

We're winning the championship this year. Simple, accurate prediction below. Quote me later.

1st Round VS POR: 4-1
2nd Round VS DEN: 4-3
WCF VS GSW: 4-3
Finals VS Bucks: 4-2

And Thunderbolt wanted to blow it up. We're winning the draft as well the playoffs.

maybe because Thunderbolt doesn't think Burton is the next Dwayne Wade. Poor guy!

I thought he was the next Zion. He's just waiting for Duke to offer him a scholarship.

This is a nice outlook on the WC series.

So crazy the playoffs are already here. Time really flies by when you're watching your inconsistent team allow mediocre to bad teams to score at will in the PnR.

Just being able to walk fast should make him better than whatever wing help we have on the bench.

Most fans here would say : Roberson will have some relapse soon because they are trying to make him available for the WCF that we won't make anyway

Secondtake on this : Roberson is coming back and we will beat GS in 5.

Read Steven's interview. It was great, but the close was the best thing I've ever heard him say.

Denver looked alot like a team that had never been to the playoffs game 1, especially jokic. Why are they unbeatable exactly?

So, PG said he couldnt raise his shoulder a couple a days ago ...
Why was he playing injured the whole time in regular season games ?
What is going on with our doctors, coaching and managment. Its ridicolous that we milk the **** out of a guy in regular season ending, just to watch him getting grimmases on his face on every drive and teams targeting his shoulder ..

No media reporters gonna start asking any question.
This whole stuff feels worse than in the biggest nazi regimes, its out of my mind.
