If the Clippers can manage to stay afloat (see what I did there) until Kawhi comes back the West may get very interesting.
Nice floating boat reference. Interesting thing is the Clips actually played better the two games without Kawhi than with. It looked like PG and Harden turn it down a notch and just stand around when Kawhi is playing. I do think the Clips are a better team with Kawhi, but he just looks very rusty the last two games he was back.
I'm also enjoying playoff basketball. Teams actually play D. You can see that the games are also much more lower scoring in general, but still exciting to watch.
Canucks game tonight, with a chance to advance to the next round. I'll be glued to the TV and will be cheering for my home team.
Who do you like in the west? Nuggets finished off the Lakers but honestly did not look that great doing it.
And yeah it is really nice to see teams playing tight D and the games not being track meets.
I am pulling for your Canucks.

I really like the young teams, Thunder and TWolves. Both teams show that they were capable of playing at a high level and have good chemistry. Also they are just fun to watch. I'm rooting for SGA and his Thunder though.

Do want any action on the young teams vs Denver?
1k sats that neither of them knock Denver out.

I'm not taking that bet. Nuggets are still very good, with Joker holding it down for most of the game and Murray taking over in the last 5 minutes in clutch time. The supporting cast fit well and all are playing their role. As good as the young teams are playing now, I'm not sure if they have what it take to knock out the champ. I guess until they prove me wrong, I still believe Nuggets are coming out of the west.
But it would be exciting to see one of the young teams knock out the champ and get the job done. That's why I'm rooting for them, but I won't put sats on them.

Fair enough. You and @grayruby have been more than generous in letting bet on Joker.
reply
I will take the bet. Why not?
reply
Awesome!
Who do you have more confidence in? I'm probably a little more concerned about Minnesota, but then again KAT is just about the dumbest basketball player I've ever seen and he's going to be defending Joker in some capacity throughout the series.

I like the way Minny is playing D. Not overly confident in either but I guess Minny if I had to pick.
My buddy just sent me this.

I would say Minnesota myself
Nuggets and TWolves should be a good series.
reply
Yes, I'm excited to see how that one plays out as well.
