    Okay now that we’re done with them I feel okay acknowledging that I really like this Blazers team. Hope they don’t blow everything up. Try to get healthy and come back next year with the same core, keep Terry Stotts, bring back Melo.

    I mean I’m now convinced they’re not built to be a true challenger to us, but they’re a fun scrappy little team that I’d probably cheer for when they’re on national TV games against other Western playoff teams

    Should have bet on this prediction lol

    I really want to say Lakers in 5 against Houston as well since there has been no team without a great rim protector whose ever beaten Lebron in a playoffs series.

    That being said I think Vogel has been making lineup mistakes that he wasn't doing in the regular season. Too much McGee, Too much Green, too little Kuzma/Morris and no Waiters at all. Basically the lineups are not maximizing the Lakers best units: small with AD at 5 (with Howard as AD's backup). So I'll say Lakers in 6 against Houston though it should be easier.

    Hahahahhahahah. Backdoor sweep. Portland had a 3 min run in Game 1 that won them that game and that was all they did.
