Really enjoyed Green losing and the Warriors going to the play-in. I do think they'll beat Memphis though and have a very solid chance against Houston as well. Might all not be too bad for them.

I want Memphis to lose. I was hoping the stupid **** with Ja was over, but these last few weeks taught he's learned nothing. So I'm a Warriors' fan for one night only.

Westbrick vs. LAC should be interesting. LAC seemed to have put it together for the time being. Could be a shorter series then anyone thinks.

T-Wolves and Lakers is going to be interesting. Pulling for the Minnesota Knicks, but I suspect it'll be 8 on 5 out there.

The league will be rooting for any one of these finals matchups.

Harden actually the one who proved clutch versus GSW while Kawhi the one choking towards the end.

I feel though that the winner of the LAL-MIN series can go all the way to the Finals. I see either of them beating OKC and whoever comes out of the 2 vs. 7 matchup.

Looking forward to Luka/LeBron and the Los Angeles Knicks vs the Minnesota Knicks.

Denver Knicks vs the LA Clipper-Knicks is going to be lit too.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Indiana Knicks Midwest take the series vs the Milwaukee Knicks.

Can't wait for the playoffs to start.

Kerr's shine has certainly worn off in the last few years. Its pretty interesting that he got all this credit for the Warriors run meanwhile Spoestra didn't get any credit for the Heat run.

I think Wolves might get the Lakers. This will go at least 6 if not 7.

And the Nuggets will gentleman sweep the Clippers. They are in their best shape in years and at the end of the day they still going for iso with Kawhi and Harden. This is not going to work out especially given their choking and health history. Don't get fool by this nice little winning streak at the end of regular season. They are cooked.

These Clippers are my favorite to upset OKC eventually. They are better than advertised. Meanwhile, Paul George is left with nothing but his money to count.

HopelessKnick · Post #1637 » by **HopelessKnick** » Mon Apr 14, 2025 6:41 am

OKC will come out of the west. I don't see anybody beating them.

THat said the west will be extremely entertaining. Gotta really give Kudos overall to Udoka and the Houston Rockets.....just remembering where the Rockets were 4 years ago with the Harden saga and how they turned that team around so quickly. Now they are one of the most exciting young teams cliniching the 2nd seed in the west. Admirable. And they did through a nice combination of drafting, trading and signing players. The right way through and through. I think they'll ultimately lose to the Warriors because they don't have that playoff leader yet, but still an amazing job......they are the biggest winners of this regular season out west next to OKC.

Mavs are just in shambles....how a guy singlehandedly took a well positioned franchise that made the finals last year and turned it into ruins....

I wish there was some way to lure Tyronn Lue to the Knicks...I always love the way he sets up his teams...if Kawhi and George were a little less injury prone he would have won a ring there for sure...

Not high on OKC?

I have the clippers as a dark horse candidate to go to the finals. If Kawhi and harden are truly back to form I think they will be hard to beat. They also have Powell and Zubac who are having a career year.

I use to not be able to stand Lue because of LeBron. I thought he was just riding his coat tails. I think like 3 or 4 years ago I changed my tune. He's a top 5 coach in my eyes.
