Eh season series are different than a playoff matchup of multiple games, Knicks swept the Hawks in the regular season and we all know how that ended up

That said Suns are intriguing if healthy and their inexperienced roster is focused, which they were against the Lakers and could have some relevance later on

You're right, the Suns swept the Bucks too but I would take the Bucks in that final. I just think they match up well with the Jazz and Mavs and the season sweep helps back that up!

Terry Stotts out at Portland.

Also I'll be curious to see what painful way the Clippers manage to lose in game 7.

---

And now Clifford out at Orlando.

For what it's worth this wasn't the Magic's plan. Clifford asked out as he didn't want to be part of a rebuild

Game 7 time

---

The previous record was 5 in a row so this series is already the new record at 6

---

Kawhi taking over

---

Kawhi too strong

poor Luka

---

Honestly if theres a player that can bring a title to the Clippers its Kawhi Leonard

I think his clutchness can even like, get the Kings a title if he wanted to go there

---

if you can win with the Clippers you can win with anyone

also are the Sixers in trouble or is it nothing to worry about since it's just game 1

---

doens't seem like anything to worry about if embiid stays healthy.
---

Embiid has a small meniscus tear. He won't be healthy.
---

Trae is ready to take advantage and flip the Trae-Luka trade argument for the next year or 2

---

or until they change the rules this offseason to neutralize his dumb foul-baiting tactics
---

what does Trae Young's foul baiting have to do with Ben Simmons shooting the basketball

---

so uh the Nets look pretty dominant

also Thibs wins Coach of the Year

Monty was robbed

My Bucks pick is not looking great but they say the series doesn't start until the road team wins a game!

---

mavs/clippers agrees
---

Oh yeah go Suns.

---

At this point is the best potential finals storyline a Steve Nash led Nets team coming in to Phoenix to finally win one

Oh yeah go Suns.

The Mavericks have not won a playoff series since the 2011 Finals

---

Of the 8 teams remaining in the playoffs the one with the most recent title was the 76ers in 1983.

This is pretty cool. And this year won't be an asterisk like last.

Yeah this is a good playoffs for some new blood(teams anyway).

Nuggets and Clippers have never made the finals(obviously haven't ever won), and the Jazz, Suns and Nets have never won.


---

The Clippers have never even been to the conference finals.

---

and they still wont

I live literally across the street from the Barclays Center and I just don't get the vibe that any Nets fans are really even that anxious to win (except maybe the very old ABA-era fans like my dad). It's a very funny/weird atmosphere.

whoa i used to live around the corner from barclays center (as in you wouldn't even have to cross the street to go to a game)

Jokic named MVP

---

Jokic wins MVP, well deserved

Dammit, by TWO SECONDS! Damn you Leon!
---

Owned

I even had to go back and fix my autocorrect that changed his name to Joking

---

lowest draft pick to ever win MVP

Oops

Nuggets just look outclassed in like everything.

They could be a potentially great team next year with a healthy Murray. Dont think this is their year.

have the Bucks FIGURED OUT the Nets

James Harden has entered the chat

---

lol no. Inexcusable to drop under 100 against that team. No one aside from giannis and middleton had double digits, adn after Holiday at 9 the next best had 4.

Giannis just cannot shoot.
---

Suns looking good.
