As long as they core 4 play (Fox, Harper, Castle and Wemby)

I got the Spurs beating the Pistons or whoever come out the east in the playoffs

They battle tested, dont think OKC in they current state would win a WCF against em
very happy with the Spurs. I honestly had them at 46 wins on the season

but there's a lot of time between R1 of the playoffs and the finals. Let's play it series by series

Yea, Spurs have no experience being game planned on for 7-games, and a team like MIN even with all their knuckleheads would likely bounce them out in a series just off experience. Same with Denver.

Castle and the chubby Bruce Brown looking one will probably have a rough playoffs, which is to be expected in a year 1 run.

Detroit will have a rough playoffs too, after round 1. Which is to be expected as well.

There’s not knowing what to expect as an underdog just happy to be there. Which was them last year.

And not knowing what to expect as a favorite with a big red target on your back. Which is the leap they made this year. 2nd round will be an experience for them, especially if they face a team like Boston.

The Joakim and Stewart one is a massive stretch :laff:

Also gotta factor who they played to get there. Bulls went through IND and ATL, no one to match Rose’s star power nor exploit his team’s flaws.

Pistons 2nd round opponent will likely be CLE, NYK, BOS, or PHI. Fully healthy, Cade will be at a 2-1 star disadvantage in most/all of those. Similar to what Rose saw in the ECFs.
