It's enough for me that we have an NBA playoffs at all. The players will see to it they are worth watching.

btw here would be the 1-16 match ups this year
1. bucks vs. 16. magic2. raptors vs. 15. blazers3. lakers vs. 14. nets4. clippers vs. 13. mavs5. celtics vs. 12. sixers6. nuggets vs. 11. heat7. pacers vs. 10. jazz8. rockets vs. 9. thunder
not that different actually... basically a question of whether you'd rather see rivalryish conference match ups or randomish funky cross conference match ups
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 15 August 2020 23:17 (three years ago) link
second round match ups
1. bucks vs. 8. rockets/9. thunder2. raptors vs. 7. pacers/10. jazzz3. lakers vs. 6. nuggets/11. heat4. clippers vs. 5. celtics
semi finals
1. bucks vs. 4. clippers2. raptors vs. 3. lakers
the quality of the series all feel mostly the same to me in either format, it's mostly a question of which flavor you like. i don't buy that one way is necessarily more fair than the other. i like the conference rivalries aspect personally

feel like a lot of people who push 1-16 may be in a post-fandom stage where they can't appreciate an awesome conference rivalry

yeah fr, i understand that years of letting eastern conf flunkies in at the expense of western conf 9th seeds who would be 3rd in the east or w/e was frustrating, but also those marginal WC teams got good draft picks and became gooder (ie denver)

m bison, do you realize you are predicting that Meyers Leonard will help take two different teams to the Conference Finals in two consecutive years?

Been thinking a lot about those two push off jumpers McCollum hit at the end of the game. How they were done so tastefully that you couldn’t call a foul. An art really.

Happy the blazers won cos they have a chance to make it interesting vs the lakers. Gary Trent jr is so good seems like he’s just one of those guys that does the right thing every play. Melo was pretty bad this game but they have no other options so he gets enough burn to make a shot or two when it matters. At least you know you’ve got a guy out there who isn’t afraid of the moment. Really impressed by the Grizz. They are set up for a long time and way ahead of schedule. They add justice Winslow next season too, would be nice if he could play more then 40 games in a season.
― Spottie, Sunday, 16 August 2020 05:57 (three years ago) link
I stan Dame and co but I think LA is going to absolutely steamroll the blazers, who’ve spent the past week winning exhausting nail biters vs teams who were either crippled or had nothing to play for.
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Sunday, 16 August 2020 14:50 (three years ago) link
yeah that team is gassed and broken going up against bron who has been on vacation this whole time
― methinks dababy doth bop shit too much (m bison), Sunday, 16 August 2020 15:08 (three years ago) link
even if they were well rested i dont see how they start to defend bron or brow
― lag∞n, Sunday, 16 August 2020 15:16 (three years ago) link
like who are the guys they even start on them
It’s pretty crazy that they didn’t replace their wing defenders at all. Not even just a cheap role player. Like Torrey Craig would probably be playing 30 mpg for them against the lakers
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 16 August 2020 15:26 (three years ago) link
sadly otm on the blazers, they're gonna need to score 160 a game the way they're defending

if they had ariza with them that would have helped but the lakers are just a bad matchup for them.

carmelo vs lebron, baby!
― circles, Sunday, 16 August 2020 16:33 (three years ago) link
Melo shouldn't guard LeBron more than five minutes a game, and then only if they run lots of screens to switch Melo onto him deliberately. Ariza will be sorely missed.
― the unappreciated charisma of cows (Aimless), Sunday, 16 August 2020 16:40 (three years ago) link

CJ McCollum has a vinyard now. Shooting guard beverages.

apparently he's keeping the ambient temp in his hotel room at 54 degrees so he can store all the wine he brought

Too bad Popovich isn't in the bubble now for CJ to swap wine talk with.

Conley out of the bubble for the birth of his child. Thought the Jazz were going to be hard pressed to keep that series close to begin with, now it’s really hard to figure how they keep pace offensively unless Mitchell does a Dame impression
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Monday, 17 August 2020 01:28 (three years ago) link
Barton and Harris still not back but they’re probably less important than Conley

his stats don't look amazing but i did hear a few media people saying he looked better/more comfortable. i just think it has to be all hands on deck for utah at this point.
― call all destroyer, Monday, 17 August 2020 02:30 (three years ago) link
idk what changed, but conley played a lot better once he came back from a hamstring strain in january. it was mostly those first two months that were really bad.
