Western Conference

Golden State over Houston in 4
San Antonio over Memphis in 5
Oklahoma City over Dallas in 5

Agree with all of this except SAS over Memphis in 4, and CLE in 4

Can Lilliard carry Trailblazers to a win or two?

O/U on how many games Lilliard goes for 40 vs Paul.
Every one means a Trailblazer win.


probably one lower seed to upset in the east.

jajajaja


HOU playing their best ball/Golden State isn't, it wouldnt surprise me one bit if they were caught slipping in either game 1 or 2.

With that said, I'm sure every series will go 6 or more games and like it always does when people are predicting blowouts.


3 sweeps last year in the first round. And Spurs and Warriors aren't losing more than 1 game total between the 2. So no, I promise you not every series will go 6 or more.

Are you serious right now? Are you basing this off of playing 2 scrubs in a row?

Memphis is the worst team in the playoffs and yet people have them winning a game vs the Spurs. Why?




SA will loaf around and lay an egg one game. Even in title years they've tended to start the playoffs slow.

Or Pop will go full Serbian and start Boban

Harden averaging 30/9/6 since the break, just had a historic month in March that had never been done since the 60's. His shot is looking better than it has all year..

Detroit was 3-1 against Cleveland this year. Even if you remove the last game where the starters sat, they were 2-1. I think a sweep is unlikely.

I think the rockets have a realistic shot of getting swept

A lot of Boston over Atlanta picks in seven. I don't see it since Hawks have home court. If we lose, it'll be in six not seven.

Out of the East's 3, 4, 5, and 6 seeds, Boston is the best in my eyes.

Most interesting series in the 1st round for me.

Maybe, but I don't think they win a game seven in Atlanta.

They went into GS and beat them. What makes you think they can't go into Atlanta and win? The Celtics are a tough team with an outstanding coach.
