    I think Portland WILL beat the Lakers in the first round after they dust up the Grizzlies. They'll be battle hardened and have a ton of weapons in Dame, CJ, Melo and Nurkic. I certainly hope so anyway.

    I personally $1,010 hope they win the whole comp

    They're the only team left I can really get behind.

    Blazers present some matchup problems for the Lakers especially with no Danny Green to play Dame and the Blazers have shooters.

    LBJ and AD will do their thing but it’s on the defensive side where the Blazers could exploit.

    Lakers going big - Javale, AD, Lebron, Kuzma, White Mamba - would be one way to deal with them.

    Chicago Bulls finally fired their coach Jim Boylen.

    They really have cleaned house.

    Will be interesting to see who they hire.

    And finally Vlade Divac is fired as Kings GM. I'm not convinced Joe Dumars is better, although he was GM when he built that championship winning Pistons team in 2003

    Some guys who seemed to have met each other in the bubble get 25+ minutes together is going to that.

    Mann was the man tonight. I had to...

    Alvin Gentry is the latest to lose his job, the Pelicans let him go after 5 years in charge. I didn't realise he was there that long.

    And in other news Dame, Mel and the Blazers will face the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs

    Portland can't play any sort of defense. If the Lakers can get some half decent minutes from the non-Lebron/AD players then they win in 5 or 6 IMO.

    And while 'battle hardened' is true, you could also argue a bit of fatigue might set in. Lakers have been cruising, but Portland have been playing pressure games for two weeks now.

    LBJ has been resting all this time. I csnt recall him not turning up in the playoffs

    That was good playoff intensity ball. Ja will learn some lessons there as he made some costly turnovers in that 4th quarter, being a little careless with the ball.

    Blazers in 6 πŸ˜‰

    It will be fascinating to watch (although I'm struggling to get into bubble ball right now). It is hard to bet against LBJ in the playoffs, even though LAL have looked poor in the bubble so far. I think that when the round starts, LBJ fires up and with AD they will be more than a match for the Blazers. But I son't think they will take them lightly

    Mitchell drops 57 but it's still not enough to get the Jazz past Denver in OT.

    Raptors predictably take care of the Nets in a high scorer

    Dallas were well in the game vs the Clippers, until Porzingas got ejected in a total stitch up of a call. Going to be tough now

    That wasn't a rough call on the unicorn. It was a blatant call to get either Luka or Porzingas out of the game to ensure the Clippers go through to the next round. According to twitter.

    Porzingas should have known better than to choke Morris's hand with his throat.

    @raznomore the first call was a bit tough, but he should have known better. They were actually leading when he checked out

    Bucks lose the first, and easily.

    Heat win as well.
