I have a good payday coming if Portland go all the way, though will likely cash out earlier. Ideally they beat LA, beat Houston, then I can cash out and watch Dallas (yes Dallas!) beat them in the WCF's.

If KP hadn't been ejected Dallas had a golden chance to win G1

Clippers in 4

@ACT-Crusader yeah I know, golden opp missed, and Clips will only get better. But I can dream.

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'll take the G1 win, and hope like fuck Dame & Co carry on.

Not sure I'd call Melo a "weapon" these days!

@voodoo if it makes you feel any better my son is a massive Lakers fan and he doesn't know they lost. I'm going home to rub salt into the wound. Fucking Lakers fan!
Exactly same situation here, and I did exactly the same thing

PG stunk the house out.
Mavs went on a scoring spree late in that 3rd quarter that sealed the game.

@barbarian he’ll hit back. Clippers lost their way offensively. I’m not a huge fan of Reggie Jackson and don’t like it when he’s in the lineup. Trez is well short of game fit. Landry turned down shots he would usually take when confident.
Mavs offensively are very streaky (good). They can score in high volumes and when guys like Hardaway, DFS, Curry hit 3s, they are amazing to watch because Luka and Porzingas really spread the floor.
-
@ACT-Crusader Yeah I think they will beat Dallas, but it might go six or seven.
Having PatBev out made it harder, though I don't like the sound of his injury. Might be out a few more games yet.
Dallas are good, wouldn't shock me if they win a title in a few years if they stay fit and add a few more pieces around Luka and KP.

I watched the Celtics come from a way back to hammer the sixers who are done

Brett Brown is done. Only thing that remains is to see if they sell Simmons or Embiid

Odd game. Pg was obviously average, but their whole game looked off at both ends. Everything they got offensively was off the dribble, a bunch of guys creating their own shots aside from a few dumps
into Trez. And for a supposedly lock-down defensive team, they looked terrible at that end.I had picked them to go all the way, but they have a ways to go!
Btw, Luka is a deadset genius. I hope everyone appreciates what we are watching with him. He is a lock for a top 10 career I believe, and is odds on to be top 5. I think he is already the best passing forward of all time (sorry Lebron) though I guess you could argue he's just the biggest PG ever.
Its a privilege to watch him, especially with TGG running around in the east. Could be an amazing decade ahead.
Don't miss a game!
-
@voodoo I remember seeing highlights of Luka playing as teenager and thought given the way the NBA was being played, he would be a superstar. He’s already delivered beyond what even the biggest advocates would’ve predicted.
I think the Mavs are a VET player away from a long term WC finals threat. I quite like the pieces they currently have. Just need a bit of experience to help take the pressure off Luka from time to time.

How bad was Embeid... Kanter was getting offensive rebounds on him. His offensive game was hopeless, turning down open mid range.
They really do miss Simmons. He can at least up the tempo get them running. Richardson dribbles too much and Harris isn’t good enough to carry.
-
Agree Sixers are done, Harris and Horford (both on huge money) aren't showing up and its affecting Embiid.
Mavs are a tough team once they get going, would love it if they took Clippers to 7. Agree @ACT-Crusader Luka is going to finish career as a serious all time great.
Lakers really need to step up, hopefully they don't shoot as badly again. Lebron needs to score more and AD can't go to sleep in second half again.
Jazz look really good once Mitchell gets going and Gobert chips in on the offensive end as well. Still expect Nuggets to be too good for them overall in 6 or 7 games.
