Let's talk NBA Championship...and potential playoff matchups...

All games Sunday at 1 and 3:30.

Thunder will play a Mavs team resting.

Denver faces terrible Memphis.

Minnesota faces home game vs Suns.

This Nuggets collapse tonight really changed the script.

And if Kings win….IF
Pels might sit players vs Lakers…all crazy. That game anything for them?


We will know soon
 
Bulls scrubs got a win. Doubt they do it again vs the Knicks who are playing all their guys. Blowout coming.

Bucks have no interest in the 2 seed. Magic want to stay out of play in. Seems too easy.
 
Being in the top 3 in your conference is almost a necessity for winning the NBA Championship. There has only been 2 seasons in NBA history (1950-2023) that a champion was not top 3 in their conference, those teams being the 1995 Houston Rockets (6 seed) and 1969 Boston Celtics (4 seed).
 
Times are changing.

Any stats pre-2016 mean very little.

Me personally, I've scrapped using all the data I accumulated pre-2018.

Any 4 to 8-seed this postseason could reach the Finals with a little bit of luck and a solid gameplan...

That's just one piece of info that I use amongst many and we can agree do disagree it does matter to a certain extent. If you're speaking of pre play-in games that's irrelevant.

Using a set of 20 criteria at the conclusion of the season has worked for me winning last 4 and 8 out of 10 championships. Top 3 in each conference is very important but not the end all be all.
 
Notice I said something and not someone, we all know that BAR is uptown, Hunt's more the 8 miler

Miles Malone is somehow going to go into the HOF as a coach and BAR will punch something

I give Mike credit, he has progressed as a coach the last few years.

He certainly was on borrowed time before that.

I'm not sure what changes with Pels Lakers. Everytime it's been a must win for both teams the 2 games have been 100 points difference - regular season tourney and yesterday.

Hard to see Suns losing the series to the Wolves. They've also had their way with them.

Warriors small road favs? Have to lean them.

Seems like Dubz and Pels will battle for the right to play OKC.

Lakers Nuggets 1st round would be epic. LAL led every game 2h I think last year?

Really want to see Klaw come out 100% and see this team at full strength.

Winner of that Lake/Pels game is going to be the luckiest 7 seed in history. I don't think OKC should be favored over either of them. That said I can see myself betting on OKC at some point.
 
The winner of the Lakers/Pels game would play the Nuggets. Unluckiest 7 seed is more appropriate. OKC is the 1 seed

Big time. I didn’t get to see a lick of the game yet but saw JV choir section was screaming on Twitter

Grease Stains got cooked by old ass LeDrago all day.

The coaching terrorist William Green basically sat JV 3 minutes into the game to try and play small but his squad ain't the 2021/22 Warriors

Zion ain't that dude, their playoff aspirations rest on Sleepy...

Good idea to start peeping at the refs too, their influence in the playoffs increases.

Meat were living off blatant Bam illegal screens in last seasons playoffs.

Then the Finals came and he got called on almost every one...

i assumed they're the one seed. This changes everything. To say I need some sleep is an understatement.'
