I don't think brow took a single other 3 all year!
i'm picking the warriors to win it all... rolling with their historical regular season dominance

in an alternate universe grizz & blazers could be a beautiful PNW series, vancouver vs portland
― Clay, Thursday, 16 April 2015 04:38 (nine years ago) link
if we're counting the grizz as favorites in that series i don't see a single first round upset in the west, though i could def see the mavs putting something together
same in the east though i don't have an opinion on raptors vs wizards. that feels like a pure 50/50 series. like some people i'm intrigued by what the bucks can do vs the bulls but i don't think they can score enough to actually take that.

like i was trying to work out in my head out to get demarcus traded to wiz to re team w/ wall and i couldn't see how they do it. short of an ahem big free agent signing kinda stuck at 4-5-6 seed cuz they won't end up in the lottery w/ wall and beal.

raps can score a lot and the wiz don't defend well, honestly the raps don't do much BUT score but the wiz can't score enough to keep pace really I don't think
― slothroprhymes, Thursday, 16 April 2015 05:27 (nine years ago) link
the wiz seem in a bad funk that could lead to really depressing series -- like sweep or 4-1 -- on their end if a few breaks go in the other direction

Westbrook was far less fulfilled with his newly-minted scoring crown.
“Shit,” Westbrook said when asked what it meant. “It doesn’t mean nothing. Good job. Hooray. I’m at home, watching other teams play. It doesn’t mean nothing.”

in an alternate universe, wes matthews is healthy and the blazers have a decent shot at a deep run. as it stands, if the blazers survive the grizz it will be because aldridge turns unstoppable.

given how much a team's performance is tied to superstar players, I'm surprised it hasn't happened before - though the fact that Curry is getting exactly one per round and (most likely) beating them all really is something cool
