    Not really. The Cavs buckled. Boston and OKC are struggling, but OKC should hang on. I'm going to say the Wolves have been dominating since the last few weeks of the regular season and are riding some momentum with a team that seems to have found their chemistry between Randle and Ant. I'm biased though ;).
    I don't think so either. (NO great team)

    Hoping the Knicks win. Mainly cause Brunson and Hart are Nova guys. Also cause of this, WWE predicted Knicks/Pacers in eastern conference finals :tongue:

    Joker got flustered from people actually D-ing up on him.  I dont understand why they couldn't have done that from the beginning.  Aaron Gordon hurt was a big blow too.
    Caruso was a menace on D.  I liked seeing that. Big Perk called a double digit win by OKC.  I thought he was nuts but he actually was right.
    I don't think Knicks make it past the Pacers.
    I don't see the Wolves making it past OKC.

    OKC should cruise to the title given what's left in front of them.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    I agree.  I think Denver was their toughest obstacle but Indiana might give them a series.  They have some talent on that team.

    also, did the cavs buckle or was Indiana that good?  I haven't watched enough Cavs games to know.

    Cavs had some injury issues, but still was kind of a surprising result, not necessarily that they lost but how easily they lost. Pacers seem to be playing their best ball at the right time.

    That's fine, better that the Wolves are heavy underdogs. They played OKC well this year even before they found their groove with all the new players from the KAT trade.

    I'm interested to see if they need to shake the rust off after a week off. Sometimes long rest hurts a playoff team, but also means fresh legs and no one is banged up coming in to a new series. They also had a lot of time to prep for whoever they ended up playing.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Caruso won that game yesterday. That was awesome to watch. 

    Joker is still the best player on the planet. He had a sick Murray and injured Gordon and Porter Jr. 

    I really want OKC to win it all.

    Would love to see Denver get some help for Jokic and not be the worst bench for another year. They are in a tight spot with the apron rules. Do you think Adelman did enough to get the nod for head coach?

    Man, it's pretty pathetic how Ticketmaster can now also dictate who can buy tickets to the games. I know this is in collaboration with the teams, but man, what a fucking joke. Locking out fans of the away team unless they live in the state or next to it is just another example of the monopoly the ticketing industry has over fans. All these rich assholes gaming the system.
