The NBA playoffs gave us a good first round though no major surprises. You weren't surprised by LA losing, right? Clipper-Nuggets was the most fun though not all games were close. The Aaron Gordon slam at the buzzer off a Nokic miss is a play that will be replayed for a long time. I think all four of the Round 2 series should be fun for their own reasons. OKC vs Denver should be good, but I think the Thunder are just too good while the Nuggets must be tired. The T-Wolves and Warriors should be a fun series. I don't know who to take but I think Golden State wins this one. Knicks and Celtics could be a slugfest, but Boston falls into the too good to lose category at this point. Cavs-Pacers should be another good series, but it may have been undone due to Darius Garland's injury. Hopefully Cleveland can rebound from their game 1 loss and make this a good series. No reason they can't. An OKC-Boston Finals still feels like how this plays out and I wouldn't mind that. I think they are the two best teams and a seven-game series would be great. That said, I think we get OKC-Golden State and Cleveland-Boston in the Conference Finals matchups.
Can't stand the Knicks or the Celtics.
ReplyDeleteHoping for Warriors - Pacers.
That's be a fun series. I'd go for it. I like Steph and Jimmy but it'd be hard not to pull for Indiana to win their first championship.
DeleteWarriors basketball is dominating Bay Area sports radio right now. It would be cool to see Steph win another ring. That being said... if they got bounced by Minnesota... I wouldn't complain. I'd rather listen to Giants baseball on my drive into work.
ReplyDeleteShould be a really close series vs the T-Wolves. I think Golden State wins it but I think we see some really good games.
Delete2 Gordon game winners have been crazy! I hope Steph isn't out too long.
ReplyDeleteGordon has been great and that dunk of Jokic's missed dunk was crazy amazing. Hate hearing that Steph is out a week. Golden State could be in trouble. Fingers crossed he comes back on time or early.
