Warriors/Thunder(I'm assuming the Pelicans are done, since they're playing the Spurs in SA tomorrow) should be good too, even with Durant and Ibaka out IMO. Westbrook vs the world is going to be fun. I don't see that series going more than 5 games though. |

So hard to choose a team to root for in this match up. I think I would have to root for the Clippers, so Dwight can get knocked out in the first round again. |
Yep, goin with the Clips there. I'm neutral on Harden but watching Howard lose never gets old. |
Is that series locked in yet? I'll just be happy to see one of them go home. Hoping GSW wins it all with a Dallas/GSW WCF |
Not yet. The only locks at the moment are 1 (GS), 4 (Portland) and 7 (Dallas). If Houston beats Utah tomorrow then we will be at 5 at the worst, and 2 at the highest (need NO to beat SA, but if they do then our pick from them drops from #14 to #18). We will be 6 at the worst with a loss.
I'm kinda hoping NO loses so we can get the higher pick. I don't see much of a difference between Portland and Dallas, and once you hit round 2 it's a slugfest no matter who you get. We need to beat Utah tomorrow though!! |
Thanks for the break down
This crap is crazy going into the final game of the season! |

As usual, Lebron will only have to play two real series. ECF and Finals. And ECF should be a cake walk this time again |
Doesn't really matter.
The Cavs don't stand a chance against the Spurs or Warriors. |
I think the Spurs could but I don't think the Warriors would beat them (I hope I'm wrong). I think Lebron would just go nuts and take over |

Holy (bleep). Crowder just made a ridiculous shot to win the game against Toronto. If the Bulls win tomorrow night, Cavs might not have an easy road to the Finals after all. |

Yeah pretty much. They tanked those games just to ensure getting Boston in the 1st round. Can't believe LeBron is scared of playing Paul George. Hopefully the Bulls win tomorrow so they can face-off in the 2nd round. Bulls should murder Milwaukee too. |

Hopefully by tomorrow we end up with these matchups, at least for my preference.
GS - NOP
POR - MEM
HOU - DAL
LAC - SA
ATL - BRK/IND don't care
TOR - WSH
CLE - BOS
CHI - MIL |

Welp, I'm a complete idiot, all the way down to getting the location of the game wrong.
Pelicans/Warriors should be good. Bulls got the 3rd seed. YES! Cavs actually have to go through 2 legitimate teams to get to the finals now, plus the Celtics who have been playing well recently |

I hope they do but Boston has won 6 straight games. Scrappy bunch. Well coached. They could win a couple games. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

ITS PERFECT. It's a win win, either the dumbass clips get bounced in the first , or we get a new western team in the finals. I'm tired of the spurs |

Spurs should win rather easily.
The Clips depth is horrendous. |

So in less than a week, the Spurs went from 6th to 2nd, back to 6th again. Wild. _________________ *sighs*

Well everything turned out how I wanted them to. Rockets, Clippers, Spurs in one side of the bracket. Bulls against Cavs in the second round. Houston gets a worse pick from NOP since they made the playoffs. Heck even those bastards in Philly don't get the OKC pick or the Miami pick this year, hopefully the don't get ours as well. |

I think the Mavs will beat the Rockets, but the Warrios will win it all. |

Clippers close out the season winning 7 in a row as well as 9 out of the last 10 games, and their reward is San Antonio in the first round. RIP |

I was initially bummed about that, but the pick only drops from #14 to #18. I'll take that drop to be the 2nd seed and have HC in two rounds, vs being the 5th seed and having to play GS on the road in round 2. It's not like the Clippers or Spurs are slouches, but at least we would have HC. Plus, no slim chance that NO wins the lotto, giving us no pick. |

I'm pretty happy too. Only one of LAC, SAS, or HOU will make the WCF.
hopefully the Warriors win it all |

none of the eastern series entice me. Cavs even with LeBron isn't a marquee team Miami was last few years. i'm so happy the Clips drew Spurs, there goes another 1st round exit for a 10 year vet CP3, LOL |
