i think we have equally low chances against minny or houston, so i truly don't care. at this point, i'm again sliding into "what keeps boston from winning a ring" mode, and right now, that's okc cruising through the west. so i'd like us in the 4/5 for that reason, lol.
Unfortunately, Lakers have very little chance to do much this year, so I'm also thinking about secondary seeding effects. Even if the Lakers lose in the 1st round, I want to get the 3 seed, bc I want Denver in the 4 seed. I really dislike SGA & OKC and want to see them face both Denver and then SA and get smacked. I don't want OKC to have a super easy path and have SA & Denver tire each other out.
Ant Man is injured so may actually have shot against them. There’s no reason to fear the Rockets as well. But yeah no one is likely beating OKC. The best chance to avoid them till the WCF and hope Denver knocks them off.
I think Wemby is going to win the ring this year and he’ll crush everyone when he is playing 36-40 mins a game. In 26 mins yesterday he got 40/13/5 with a steal and two blocks. That guys going to lock down the paint and average 30/15 in these playoffs.
We should play to win. We have little to no chances against everyone so choosing a matchup is pointless. Rather have the team winning another game and feeling good about this last week. Keep vibes positive. We just beat 2 play-in teams by a margin. Yes, both were missing guys but so were we. Both Houston and Minny play big. Having Rui and LaRavia instead of Luka and AR actually make our lineup bigger and matchup better against them. Any win or close game we get from these playoffs is a win for us. Team grows, coaching staff grows and we'll get more learnings and confidence for next year
