Tbh dallas/thunder look very beatable, get rid of conferences. The semi finals and finals would probably be all west teams most years though.

They're beating the hell out of each other right now.

Meanwhile both young PGs I wanted to get: Nembhard and Cason Wallace, are looking good in playoffs.

I'm just not a believer in Brunson, but man he's putting tape out there to prove me wrong....horrible POA defense in Indiana though.

I think Brunson is a player that will peak at 27-28 sign a HUGE 5 year contract then his game will fall off a cliff by 30.

Knicks are up 80-64 middle of the third. Looks like they will go up 3-2.

Well he can opt out after next season

I wouldn't hate having Josh Hart on my team

Haliburton’s defense is complete ass. He has long arms and he is quick, why is he soo horrible?

Knicks up 1 after 1.

I don't see how NYK can win without OG or Randle. They got some miracle games from Brunson but that is not the norm.

I rather play OKC than DAL. Kyrie and Doncic are scary.

IND is so lucky playing all these opponents with injuries. Road for BOS to the finals also seem super easy.

The only thing I question in a Mavs series is we haven't seen them since their trade deadline acquisitions. We have the defenders to shut down iso offenses with relative ease.

I think we'd be foolish to underestimate their iso capabilities.

I'll go on record that Dallas will be relatively easy if we play them. I'd be happy to see them beat OKC and give us home court.

Yeah I mean compared to Denver sure. They'll definitely be better than the Suns. I'm also not going to rule out a team with two competent scores. They have more offensive firepower than us, its just a question of how good their defense can be.

The Mavericks beat OKC in 6. I did not see that coming, I thought they would get destroyed. Well played, I would love to play them in the WCF, hope we win tomorrow. Denver will absolutely destroy Dallas though.

They just saved Jason Kidd's job for another year.

Do you think the Mavs are underperforming given their roster?

Mavericks defense is swiss cheese but okc is just sga and no one else was consistent in playoffs.
