NBA Playoffs 2020
Re: NBA Playoffs 2020
Watching Lebron and the Lakers lose was such a delight. I would become a temporary Blazers fan so hard if they could somehow pull off the upset and win the series. I do think that the Lakers may be in trouble in the playoffs overall due to their lack of depth. Lebron and Davis are great but it's hard to carry a whole team with just 2 guys and a bunch of scrubs. They really don't have much talent beyond their top 2 guys right now.

I find the blazers to be a likeable team, it does hurt a little bit that this could be us up 1-0 on the Lakers though.

I think the Blazers and Pelicans are my two favorite teams not named the Suns right nowMori Chu wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 8:40 amWatching Lebron and the Lakers lose was such a delight.

The Suns are my favorite team. Anyone playing the Lakers is my second favorite team.

Re: NBA Playoffs 2020
I don't hate any other teams. I think it comes down to me not wanting to give them that kind of power over me. There are certainly players/owners/coaches I root against, though.

Re: NBA Playoffs 2020
I also root against the Rockets. Between Harden and Westbrook they have two of my least favorite stars in the league. I don't like the way they play and want to see them lose.

Agree. Easily my least favorite team in the league. Chris Paul is my least favorite player, though Jimmy Butler and James Harden come close.

Re: NBA Playoffs 2020
As mentioned before Mitchell can sometimes be a bad word around these parts because of the constant comparisons to Book
I'm sure both fan bases can be biased at times but this is quite a start to the playoffs for him. Only 27 n 7 today but much like Book his decision making on when to attack or get others involved has been very good

These Clips/Mavs games are fun to watch. I'm rooting hard for the Mavs and Blazers in the West this year. Boban is delightful as always; he has 13 and 9 so far.
Re: NBA Playoffs 2020
Playoff P is my favorite player. They say ghosts don't exist, but I disagree.

Re: NBA Playoffs 2020
I love Boban, and I hate any Morris.
So it's very easy to root for the Mavs.

They traded their entire team for Davis. Besides LeBron, they only were able to keep Kuzma. It also hurts that Bradley opted out.ShelC wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 5:11 amI don't know if the Lakers will lose the series but they're very thin in terms of talent. That's the type of roster that can carry you in the regular season but gets exposed in a playoff series.
Bucks won't lose to the Magic but it also shows how good a coach Steve Clifford is.

AD hates playing the 5. He wants to play like a guard. Also, he has never been exactly durable.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 3:58 amThe Lakers need to stop dicking around and play AD at the 5 for 30 minutes a game.
Re: NBA Playoffs 2020
I'm starting to wish I had predicted for the Rockets to defeat the Lakers in the second round. I think these Lakers are going to tip over the moment they run into a contending or semi-contending opponent.

I would love to see the Blazers and Mavs in the 2nd round.

Explain yourself! Honestly, I have no idea what this means.
