Dallas and Cleveland for sure.

I am hoping to see Cleveland perform like Miami last season. They don’t play spectacular basketball, but Mitchell showed heart and I respec that

Odd to say but I really like all 4 Western teams...

I'd be cool with seeing either of Knicks/Pacers go further...

If we had gotten Caruso too, this would be my dream final. Two simply elite defenses with ascending guards that shine in crunch time. Wolves would be favorites even if we got Caruso and Randle was fit, but what a battle it would be.

I can easily say that for the first time in a long time, there are no teams that I really dislike in the second round. That being said, I'm rooting for Denver to win it all.

I like Mazzulla (since WVU days) so I would like to see Boston get to the Finals. I also would like to see Minnesota get there so all the Gobert detractors have to take a good long hard look in the mirror.

Still a long way to go though. Injuries (knock on wood) are always a possibility.

ETA: If Randle was healthy, I would like the Knicks.

I voted Wolves and Pacers, but ultimately, this is the fastest the teams I’m actively rooting against have been eliminated, so with significant bias out of the way, I’m mostly hoping for exciting basketball games and will be happy regardless of who wins.

Knicks and Thunder.

-The Nova Knicks are really fun to watch, and having OG and Hartenstein gives the team a tough defensive mindset.
-Thunder are young and full of energy, and SGA is my MVP.

I can honestly now say that I dont mind whichever one of the remaining teams won. Gun to my head, Nugs in the west and Knicks in the east.

Wolves vs. Knicks would be ideal Finals, I'm ok with a lot of Finals combos though.
I just tend to dislike Celtics and repeat champions.

In the West, I would have torn feelings about the Mavs advancing -- and that is in part because I just like how organic OKC's team is and I'd hate to see them get knocked out. Similarly, I would have a hard time with Denver getting knocked out because I just really like Jokic's game; however, I admit that if Minnesota advances, I will not be looking forward to the endless "Gobert is underrated" threads.

In the East, as a Heat fan, I hate the Knicks with every fiber in me, so they have to lose. Plus, I like the idea of a small market team like Indiana advancing. I don't think anyone is beating the Celtics in the East, though.

I'm still so bummed Julius has to miss this run. He was playing so f***ing well when he got hurt and he makes Brunson's life soooo much easier.

If we had him coming back by the end of this series, I think we could beat the Celtics...even if KP's healthy & too hot for RobinHart to be effective, with Precious at the 5, we'd have a defensive counter.
