NBA Playoffs 24

[pdub]

There are some good early matchups all around especially in the West.

Phoenix v Minny?
Clips v Mavs?
Possibly Lakes v Nugs?

High level basketball will be played

Tuesday night I will be rooting for the Lakers to lose and the Warriors to win. Then Friday it would be the Lakers and the Warriors in LA - the loser is out.
Just because I want that to happen, I expect that the Lakers will beat the Pelicans. JUNK!

East doesn't interest me. Only potential first round series I would like to see is 76ers/Knicks.

Surprised the Lakers are 1pt underdogs.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

AD may be out and they are on the road.

On another note. 7th different #1 seed in the West in the last 7 seasons.

Thunder - 24
Nuggs - 23
Suns - 22
Jazz - 21
Lakers - 20
Warriors - 19
Rockets - 18

They were the dog today too.
I took them and the over.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Fan Duel has them at -1 today.

For those who believe the NBA is rigged.....
I have to assume the consensus is tomorrow night the Lakers beat the Pelicans and the Warriors beat the Kings.
Then Friday the Warriors beat the Pelicans. Right?

[pdub]

Well I think the best players are on those two teams so if that happens I don’t think it means anything is rigged.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

I agree. I think it's what should happen regardless of it being rigged or not. I do NOT think it's rigged.
Yet again I will say, for selfish reasons I hope the Lakers lose and the Warriors win tomorrow. I'm not counting on it. I wagered (SMALL) on the Lakers and Warriors.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Not going to happen but he has a point - in that it is probably better to face the Thunder than the Nuggets in the first round.

Pacers vs bucks could be the best 1st round series. Some beef between those teams, if yall remember the giannis and the game ball situation earlier

[pdub]

Heat 6ers should be watchable.
Celts have a decent shot at getting Embiid's 76ers or playoff Jimmy Buckets as their 1st round opponent.
Do not like.

It's Boston's year. They've got to get it done this year. They are stacked roster wise... and healthy, which is huge.

....but, the Heat are always scary in the playoffs.

Portland Red Claws in the G League final tonight. Go Red Claws!

Spending the summer at fat camp has paid off for Zion.

He's a beast.

This game is so good.

Can't believe they benched Ingram down the stretch.
