Lakers/Blazers -- Lakers in 5 (Dame gets one, Lakers tune up the role players for the stretch run.)

Rockets/Thunder -- Thunder in 7 (Wildcard if Russ misses 2 games; CP3 can control the game, Shai has monster series)

Clippers/Mavericks -- Clippers in 5 (I think we see moments that will make KP/LUKA a monster tandem next season, but PG/Kawhi/Bev kick it up on D)

Nuggets/Jazz -- Nuggets in 6 (Jazz don't have much of a bench, Nuggets play fast and should run them over. Think we see the beginning of the end for this Jazz team; one of Mitchell/Gobert leaves this offseason)

--

Bucks/Magic -- Bucks in 4 (Bucks tuneup series. Light work, tbh)

Heat/Pacers -- Heat in 5 (Pacers take terrible shots, Heat can dominate them)

Raptors/Nets -- Raptors in 4 (Raptors in 3, tbh. Raptors better team + more depth. Should be able to go 10 deep and clean up the Nets)

Celtics/Sixers -- Celtics in 5 (Embiid gets 1 game, Sixers MIGHT steal another if the shooters go, but no Simmons hurts their defense, Tatum/Brown have a monster series)

bucks in 4
Toronto in 4
Celtics in 5
Miami in 5 (but I wouldn’t be surprised if they sweep. Indiana doesn’t shoot 3’s and Miami can hit them)

None of y’all have faith in OKC?

I think they can do it. Especially if they can take advantage of Russ being out
