GSW (4) v Clippers
Nuggets (6) v Spurs
Thunder (6) v Blazers
Rockets (6) v Jazz

Bucks (4) v Pistons
Raptors (4) v Magic
Sixers (5) v Nets
Celtics (5) v Pacers

I wish the Thunder v Blazers and Rockets v Jazz would end differently but don't see it happening...the Warriors are in for a tough semifinal against the Rockets...

So Portland dont improve at all.
Yeah that's a really bad trade for Portland. If they're trading McCollum for anything in a Davis trade it's in a package for Davis himself.
I'm a bit late on this one but CJ is about 6 years older than Ingram. Of course now Ingram has some potentially serious health concerns but his upside was why I did it.

Playoff predictions :

GSW v Clippers : Warriors in 5

Nuggets v Spurs : Nuggets in 7. This one is definitely the most likely big upset of the round but denver's home court should be enough.

Blazers v Thunder: Thunder in 6. Would've liked to see Portland with Nurkic, obviously.

Rockets v Jazz : Rockets in 5. Pretty much the worst possible match up for Utah imo. Gobert getting switched onto Harden/CP3 will hurt badly


Bucks v Pistons : Bucks in 5. Would've been tighter with a fit griffin but now they probably get stomped by giannis.

Raptors v Magic: Raptors in 5

Sixers v Nets: Sixers in 6. This looks like a potentially really fun series.

Celtics v Pacers: Celtics in 6. Could've been the best series of the round if the pacers had Oladipo but meh.
GSW (4) v Clippers
Nuggets v Spurs (6)
Blazers (7) v Thunder
Rockets (6) v Jazz

Bucks v Pistons (6)
Raptors (5) v Magic
Sixers v Nets (6)
Celtics (5) v Pacers

Okay, I don't really think Pistons will win in 6. Pistons in 7.

Ingram's upside is being about as good as McCollum is IMO. He obviously has different skills but he's a vastly overrated player. It's not like he'd be a cheap alternative either, he gets expensive very shortly and will cost you more years than McCollum does. I stand by what I said.

So KCP was added too which would help the Blazers backcourt on D. Plus at the time of my post I felt like the Blazers were going to finish 6th or 7th and lose easily in the first round. so thought it would be worth trying something.

I like Walton at the Kings.

Nets deserved the win for sure. Simmons and Harris were made to really very average and Reddick had a complete shocker. Embiid not being fully fit is also a blow - only Butler could say he was happy with how he played. My Brooklyn in 6 prediction is looking decent.

Also well done Magic. I imagine everyone was thinking this is a new Raptors team which would no longer have that game 1 playoff curse. Nope. DJ Augustin looked like a top 5 point guard out there.

2 fun games today

GSW???!!!!

Clippers are great but KD looks checked out

Hard to believe that they will get rolled but that wasn’t good

Half fit Embiid & Simmons did a job on the Nets in about 10 minutes

Sixers could make real noise if Joel can play & Ben is aggressive as they are massive weapons on both ends

poor cousins...now this will impact his ability to get a big deal next year regardless of what the warriors do from here on...not to mention all the downtime that comes with an injury like this...
