You could say the same thing about the Bucks. They still haven’t gotten out of the first round in the Giannis era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawful Metal Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 1 hour ago, Oyaji said: And the rockets Rockets have never not made the playoffs in the Harden era (despite having exactly one other all star (Dwight) and some truly awful teams featuring the likes of Pablo Prigioni playing significant minutes or a washed Jason Terry) and have made the Western conference finals twice. They’ve won more playoff games against Golden State in the KD era than any other team combined. People talk about Rockets playoff failures but there’s also been a lot of success before running into the “Greatest Team of All Time.” (Or the spurs that one time) Giannis hasn’t won a playoff series EVER.

Zimbra Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Wade gets a triple-double in his last game off a pass to Udonis Haslem. Perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Marcus Smart with a torn oblique. Never thought I'd say it about a guy who averages <9 PPG and shoots 42%, but...FML. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Jazz/Rockets is one hell of a crucible for the first round. Other than the Warriors, they've been the two best teams in the West for months. When was the last time we didn't have a single playoff team with a losing record?

Lawful Metal Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Intriguing matchups out West: Clips vs Warriors. Clips probably don’t have much to matchup with the Warriors, but Pat Beverley vs an injured Steph is something to watch, and Lou Williams can go bananas at any moment. Nuggets vs Spurs. I have zero faith in Denver, and they’ll be introduced to Playoff Pop. Spurs sweep. Blazers v. Thunder. Without Nurkic there’s a wide open layup line for the Thunder all night every night. Thunder should win, but they can underachieve. Rockets v. Jazz. Y’all know what I think. It is interesting that the two best teams in the NBA could be meeting in the second round, whereas the 6 or 7 seed is getting a free pass to the WCF. Also, Pistons in 4.
