Would be happy to see it finish like this. There's history to 3 of the 1st round matchup, Spurs v Lakers, Harden v OKC, Clippers v Memphis rematch from last year. Plus Denver v Golden State would be great games to watch.

[KaiRMD1]

^ I agree with that, all those match ups would be great games to watch. Sadly, the past couple of years, I've found myself watching all the West matchups and maybe one of the matchups in the east.

Rockets next 4 are a

[td4mvp2k]

Grizz want that 4 and not the 3... F dem

[Chris16]

The Eastern Conference first round matchups look to be a snoozefest. It's pretty much the Miami Heat and then a bunch of inconsistent teams after them.

[Arcadian]

Lakers have a tough schedule the rest of the way. Good luck with that, gots.

I predict they'll go 5-7. At best, 7-5.

[TrainOfThought5]

Rockets have a tough schedule ahead, i wonder if Mavs or Portland can get hot and catch them.

5 game lead in the loss column (4 game lead on Utah, but have the tie-breaker) with 13 to go. That's a lot of ground to make up. I'm not worried. The schedule isn't all that bad.

[Latarian Milton]

rocket's spot looks safe as an super-absorbant for a 17yr old maid's fresh flow tbh. there's only one playoff spot left open, for which the mavs and lakers will have a legit catfight

[irishock]

the Lakers letting Utah and Dallas back in the hunt

[Otaku]

Faker's next 4 all on the road

[Robz4000]

Anyone think there's a chance we might need to bump the .500 thread?

[Fergie The Florists]

Lakers next four might be on the road, but they are all against ty comp. 3-1 at worst.

1-3 if pau plays 20+ minutes

Compared to a team on a 25 game win streak, everyone looks inconsistent.

[Latarian Milton]

lakers won't care how ty their opponents are when they're in losing mode tbh. lakers would be lucky to win one game in the coming four, and mavs' chance will come

If SA draws LA in the first round they will likely lose...Parker will do his thing but they'll lose it in 6...4 if I'm lucky

this is why you need to stick to eating bananas, tbh... we already have LkrFan for the weak basketball talk...
