Ja Morant too busy working on his new grenade celebrations to actually focus on winning a play-in game.
Moody making some plays here and there.
Kuminga is dunzo, is he?

Also funny how ESPN keeps sucking the of the Warriors and calling them contenders when they lost to the tanking Spurs, folded against the Clippers, and now are barely able to survive the Memphis Grizzlies.
They almost chocked away a 20 point lead in a loss they hung on talk about wow
Santi Aldama is such a bum lol. Looked scared less of Draymond all night despite his empty 14-8.
Bro got ejected after his team got down 20. There's the Trae Young experience.
So glad the Spurs didn't trade for this guy.
People calling for Celtics repeats. Going back to back seems difficult in today’s NBA.
OKC is gonna win it all, tbh. I don’t want to do the entire bracket because there’s always going to be upsets or surprise teams (ala 2024 Mavericks).
I want to beat their ing ass so bad
Rox in 7 imo.
If the Dubs get the same calls they got tonight against the Rockets it's gonna be tough to beat them tbh. League might push hard for the large markets this postseason with the ratings issues.
I’m kinda excited tbh because Ime might actually murder a ref on the court if they are on that BS.
If the calls are fair, should win in 6. Gotta blow their asses out a few games and not have the refs decide it.
Sengun is the key.
Either he destroys Draymond and forces Warriors to play actual bigs or he gets ran off the floor due to his questionable defense.
Experience matters and the Rockets haven't been hehe before. The Warriors will get the whistle. But their role players are not good.
Figure Reed will go off with ROY numbers.
Sorry, man....we have seen this movie before...
Draymond will hack/injure someone...refs will pretend they did not see it...
rockets will be the better team but in game 1 or 2 a game will be GIFTED to the warriors and the inexperienced rockets will not realize they cannot give any games away...
by game 6 or 7 - the warriors will be in control of series and relaxed and then the refs will finally give the rockets some calls...
but by then the warriors will have stolen another series....
book it.
Green too. He is going to need to make Curry work on defense.
True. I also think Ime is a huge factor for the Rockets, in that the Warriors always true to punk and rough up younger teams, and one thing you not going to do to an Ime team is that.
I can see the Warriors try it, it not work, and then get ran out the gym by a younger more athletic team.
If Amen is able to neutralize Curry over the course of this series, this Rockets/Warriors match up could be where Amen becomes a household name. And honestly, neutralizing would just mean slowing him down significantly in two games and winning in 6 or 7. Slowing down Curry is basically making him shoot the career 3pt percentage of Trae Young or James Harden.

Today's wish list:
- Mavs over Kings (required)
- whoever you think between Bulls and Heat have a better chance of beating the Hawks on Friday. heat have the veteran experience and coaching edge, but the bulls have been the much better team over the course of the last couple of months. im gonna say the Bulls
West playoffs though
I would like to see OKC vs Clippers in the 2nd round, some interesting matchups to say the least
I'm starting to think either will beat the Hawks tbh. They look ready for Cancun.
Nuggets vs. Clippers is an insane First Round matchup tbh. Jokic is by far the best player in the series, but Clippers have wayyy better depth with Kawhi, Harden, Zubac, Powell, Bogi, Derrick Jones, Kris Dunn, Ben Simmons, etc. Idk if Denver can overcome all that depth with how ty their depth is. Will be an interesting series.
i hope you're right, though ATL did put up a fight with their comeback yesterday as Orlando just failed to score over and over until Cole Anthony started bombing away.
with that said, Miami somewhat limped into the playoffs themselves, and i dont think they can be counted on either. i think it could just come down to ATL having home court
Toss-up, to me. Atlanta sure flatlined at the end of the Orlando game. Wonder if there are chemistry issues the way Trae teams wind up with them before long.
Miami seems unimpressive, but has Spoelstra. Chicago seems to be gelling at the right time, but may depend on playoff-Giddey.
funny thing is in last year's play-in tournament, the Bulls beat ATL in the first leg off a 42 point performance by Coby White, but then lost to a Buter-less Miami![]()
