    Who do you all think is moving on to the next round? My predictions (very low level of spiciness) are:

    Celtics > Cavs

    TWolves > Nuggets

    OKC > Mavs

    Pacers > Knicks

      I agree with you except I'm hoping for Knicks > Pacers.

      I thought the Timberwolves and Nuggets would go to seven and be really close but that's not looking likely.

        Yeah I was saying a Nuggets/Celtics final was the most likely a week ago, but now Denver proved how insanely cooked they are lmao.

    Celtics have the easiest playoff path of the 21 century at least. All time frauds if no chip.

      it's so dumb. give this dude a number two who's healthy and more than a bubble all-star and jokic is leading a dynastic team.

    Easy to say when DEN lost two at home, but I didnt believe in this team (losing the seeding to the Spurs at the end of the season was a huge red flag (and why did it come down to the final game in the first place?); getting challenged by LAL should have never happened). It's a not talented team: a bunch of let's be honest, whos and castoffs, Murray has deservingly never been an all star; Jokic is incredible but without more talent, a team constructed around him necessarily is restricted given that it you can't run a traditional big.

    Love Jokic but he or Luka need to join the other and create a Slavic dynasty.

    This series LMAO make it make sense

    Game seven should be crazy no matter what happens, though I hope it's not another blowout

      The only way this series makes sense is if the winner goes undefeated the rest of the way.

    Alright, who's in more peril: the 1-2 Nuggets or the 1-2 Thunder?

    Nuggets have a higher ceiling, but Jokic's supporting cast is incredibly flaky. OKC is young and the Mavericks have found their groove, but Luka is trying to collect all 151 minor injuries.

        Just nuts. I’m amazed the Wolves didn’t allow themselves to get steamrolled in the second half after that
