Will be updating OP as it progresses, no real upsets today, Curry was great.

 

[Unbreakable]

7/8 home wins after 1 game of each series has been played, and the only home team that lost is arguably the underdogs against the Wizards anyway.

Shaping up to be an amazing playoffs.

 

[Charmamba]

Seems there will be a few sweeps, disappointing.

 

[Jeba]

All series in the East should be sweeps except Wizards-Raptors which could go to 7.

I have little doubt it will be GSW and Cleveland in the finals. No prizes for that prediction though!

 

[Mister Wright]

Warriors will smash whichever team they come up against.

 

[Charmamba]

Warriors will choke in the conference final

 

[Porthoz]

Warriors will choke in the conference final

You're getting warmer... still pretty cold though.

 

[Unbreakable]

This Warriors teams seems a lot different to the team that choked last year, Curry and Klay have both progressed even further, Draymond has come out of nowhere to become a max player and an elite defender, Harrison is playing well, Bogut is healthy.. Livingston is a better back-up PG than Jordan Crawford.. Kerr is a better coach than Mark Jackson..

I'd be very surprised if they aren't in the championship game.

 

[Unbreakable]

Thunder have fired Scott Brooks, no surprise there.

ON Laker Nation, some fans are calling for Brooks to be hired as coach..... No idea why one would want him around.

 

[Mister Wright]

Apparently Atlanta have been sold. Anyone who follows the game closely aware if this could cause a change of location or nickname change like the Charlotte/New Orleans fiasco? Or if it is just a change of ownership?

$850mil by an ownership group, won't move them at all.

Not a massive fan of what Byron was able to achieve this year, but I'd still prefer him to Brooks.

Not sure many coaches would have done much with what Byron had..

Nash gives up before the season starts
Kobe battled injury then pulled out.
Lin took 3/4 of the season to find anything remotely basketball.
Randle gone after his first game


Positives.
Clarkson

All valid points, Nick Young did virtually nothing this year as well whether through injury or just playing junk.

 

[mitch222]

I think Nick Youngs mind is elsewhere rather than focusing on basketball

Also, Paddy Mills stepped it up big time against the clippers yesterday. Had a huge hand in the win

Yeh I'm trying to forget Nick Youngs season, I love the bloke but my god he was everywhere this year but where he should have been.


I just want the draft to hurry up and free agency so I can see what we have next year.
