Man, if it’s that hard for Utah to beat a Doncic-less Mavs team, they’re not going far.
I'm not afraid of either team in our bracket

Suns will have to beat Golden State to get back to the finals. Poole scores like a young Steph.

Warriors are an absolute juggernaut. They’re the team I’m most worried about, even over bucks. They just play us so well.

You guys are pretty funny. Of course the Warriors are good. Did you miss the regular season? Or were you just in denial that they wouldn't turn it up a level when the games became serious?

Their series is also an indictment on how incredibly average the Nuggets are as a team.

They're really good. So are the Grizzlies, Bucks, Celtics, and a few other wildcards. It's the playoffs and nothing will come easy.

Yep, I think the Western Conference Finals is going to be a knock down, drag out fight between us and the Warriors.

They have a feeling the Nuggets are going to play better next game.

Part of the reason I didn’t think Jokic should be mvp is that they’re gonna bow out so easily in the first round. Can you really be the mvp if your team doesn’t matter? They might get swept in the 1st round.

Yeah I think we won't be really tested until the WCF against the Warriors or Grizz. Here's hoping.

My wildest pick over in the predictions thread is that I picked the Grizz to beat the Warriors. I think that's a longshot, but I was gambling that maybe Steph, Klay, and/or Draymond would get injured trying to keep up with the Grizzlies' athleticism. I am hoping the Grizz face us in the WCF because I think the Warriors are a really tough matchup. When Steph and Klay and Jordan Poole start going nuts hitting every 3, they are almost impossible to stop.

2 minutes into the Heat-Hawks game and the score is 1-0 after 4 FT attempts. If it keeps going like this it is going to be a very boring series

It seems rare for Game 1 to indicate series' results. The home crowd, different officials, injuries.. so much can change from game to game.
The Game 1 winner wins the series 78.2% of the time, so it is indicative most of the time.

Looks like the Heat are smacking the hawks pretty good early on

The Heat are showing the Hawks which team is the #1 seed in the East.
