Shout out to @HndsmCelt, @hrdboild, @In the L.A.nd o the Enemy, @LPKingsFan, @notoriousBEN3, @pdxKingsFan, @QWERTYLICIOUS, @Telemachus, @Warhawk and @whitechocolate for correctly guessing in the Second Round poll.

This one's tough. There's what is more likely to happen and what I want to happen and the power of wishful thinking is tough for me to fully ignore.

This series is the defacto finals this season. The Knicks and Pistons are below both Western teams. Pulling mildly for the Spurs, and think they pull it out in a close one.

 

[kingsboi]

these two will be meeting for years to come in the conference finals but if there is any team remaining that can take out the champs, its the Spurs

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, that settles that. I'll still have the game on but, if Fox isn't playing, it gets the little screen.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

OKC not gonna play a healthy team again wild

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Why was Ayo diving at Fox legs like that at a ball he had zero chance of getting

 

[Joshyjosh31]

SGa has flopped on all three fg attempts just pathetic basketball from the fake mvp

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Vassell is not doing much to refute my "he's the weak link" criticism.

 

[coolhandluke]

JDub vs Castle going good so far

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Wemby, Jokic, and Luka can’t sit for three minutes and the guy whose team has a plus minus with him off the floor wins the mvp

 

[coolhandluke]

Spurs rooks & Castle came to play

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Bryant has a lot of confidence for a rookie

Harper and Bryant are great picks. Why couldn't we poach someone from the Spurs front office?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Vassell has played twelve out of a possible fifteen minutes and is only two rebounds ahead of a Snell.

If the Spurs win this with nothing from him and no Fox and a mediocre game from Wembanyama...

 

[coolhandluke]

Caruso is worth his weight in gold

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Great dunk by Wemby followed by the mvp flopping 94 feet away from the rim

Bryant looked amazing in summer league too

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Better not be a flagrent literally hit his arm first just cause ihart needed to act tough cause he can’t do anything else on the court doesn’t make it flagerent

 

[hrdboild]

I already want a do-over on my prediction vote. It looks like OKC finally ran into a team which is able to exploit their extremely guard-heavy rotation. Holmgren and Hartenstein are getting humbled and nobody else is available to pick up the slack for them.

 

[Tetsujin]

Can’t believe the Sixers really gave away Jared McCain just to avoid paying the luxury tax

Where’s the back to back mvp?

Jared "Sold when high" McCain

Jaren "Sold when high" McCain

‘no way we’re ever going to use this point guard with elite shooting mechanics and offensive feel for the game, let’s just trade him to THE BEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE for a pick down the road”

 

[Tetsujin]

The Thunder bench is literally four different (really really good) guards and an undersized big.

Kings needed a PG (or any young talent) but can't bring this boy back home

Same team the was play six guys in the playoffs
