They did better against Denver last year than the Clips did. And they aint have Bojan all series.

Conley looking like Conley again. Favors is a great backup big. They had no one for when Rudy sat last season.

If they avoid Lakers bracket they can easily make WCF.

Not saying I'm predicting Utah to make the WCFs... but they sure as hell can regardless of bracket.

That LAL/DEN series was much closer than people will end up remembering. AD buzzer beater and both teams winning down-to-the-wire 50/50 games, all with Murray hobbled with the bone bruise. This version of Utah would be better than last year's Nuggets.

Nets now 2nd in the east :ehh: they might be hitting their stride

clips looked damn good in their win

philly looking good as well

utah picking up where they left off

it’s just can these teams get over their second round humps
Bucks window might be closed already

having to score 120 something a night isn't sustainable and is going to run KD Harden and Kyrie into the ground

Mavs fans, if you're sick of that frontrunning, paper-mâché screen setting, no rebounding ass Wristflaps Coreweakness, we got the center with strongest core in the league who fights for every rebound and sets the most bonecrushing screens around if you're willing to do business :troll: Gonna need at minimum a Jrue Holiday-esque package of unprotected firsts and pick swaps coming back to take ol' Big Bird's albatross off your hands though :mjlit:

They’ve been beating average/bad/hurt/COVID teams. They need to move Murray for Beal
Those back to back wins vs Phoenix last week probably should've been back to back losses for Denver but it gave them perceived momentum as if they were turning the corner... we'll have to see if that's truly the case as ppl come back from injuries/illness.

In truth, Denver is the type of team that regardless of if it's a rebuilding Pop Spurs team ('19), a no defense Blazers ('19), bubble Jazz ('20), bubble Clippers ('20), etc... they can't win a series unless it goes to a decisive 7th game. The way they are constructed now, it'll be more of the same in this year's playoffs.

For Philly and Utah yea, but KD and Kawhi have won championships and the players surrounding them are mostly new or vets, so for BK and LAC... 2nd round moral victories or disproving chemistry/leadership/regular season narratives... those aren't true hurdles.

Just making it to the conference finals and a video montage of nyggas high fiving and showing up to practice on time ain't gon get it done :pachaha:

Bucks either got to mortgage the house for an actual star to be there next to Giannis or admit that a small rebuild is needed

they've made a couple of mistakes that small market teams can't and it has capped their ceiling

this doesn't excuse Giannis either
