West Round 1:
(1) Nuggets over (8) Clippers. Kev had a solid 200 hundred point win over Clippers. Scored 1400ish to 1200-ish. Honestly this nuggets team isn't as good as last year, being fucking powered by Paul George though. Lowry's health and Gasol playing well in TOR will be crucial going forward. Remy should have a solid core to build around going into next season and it's nice that he made the playoffs in his first season.
(2) Pelicans over (7) Kings. Yeah pels rolled davie 1700ish to 800ish. Pels scored the most in the first round (2nd Bulls 1600) and uh yeah his team is completely healthy led by Westy/Dray/Gobert/Booker and getting career years from Hield and Siakam Okogie even has a fucking starting job and James Johnson is coming to life a bit. Fuck.
(3) Warriors over (6) Mavericks. Caleb rolled a Royce team that sold his players for injured players (Dipo/Dinwiddie etc.) Caleb has a pretty healthy team right now and looks forward to a matchup with Pelicans this week, might wanna set that lineup king
(4) Grizzlies over (5) TimberWolves. TWolves has a nice team but Wall is hurt for awhile and Davis wasn't playing as he threw his trade request at the worst time for our leagues playoffs. I like Luke's chance to beat Kevi this next week as Zubac has a nice role and the Manimal is back currently.
West Round 2:
(1) Nuggets vs. (4) Grizzlies. Exciting matchup, Grizz could come out on top here but don't count Kevi out.
(2) Pelicans vs. (3) Warriors. Pels looks like the over-whelming favorite but any team with Griffin/Curry/Vucevic can't be slept on.
East Round 1:
(1) Bulls over (8) Pistons. My Bulls had a relatively easy win over a Pistons team that still had no KLove and Kawhi missed about 10000 games. Yeah, might wanna make some in season moves next year or something but you got a good core to build around Merv.
(2) Hawks over (7) Pacers. Oh boy heres where it got exciting. This game went into the last game Sunday night. Boogie Cousins, came up with the hot 14.5 fpts to give Hawks the win by about 30 fpts. Both teams scored in the high 1400s and Trey came away w his first playoff victory. Pacers team literally just got healthy as Randle and Moore missed most of the matchup w Hawks. Trey also had some injuries/guys resting but Wes Math has a starting gig in Indy now and Tyler Johnson has one in Phoenix. Both teams are dangerous, Trey probably a little more just cuz Harden is fucking insane right now but Pacers is scary when healthy, shame he's knocked out.
(3) Raptors over (6) 76ers. Perk w his first playoff victory, pts were about 1400ish to 1100ish. Not gonna lie I thought this 6ers team would cause problems as Rondo was back, Napier was getting run, and Reke had a starting job since the dipo injury. However, rondo's inconsistent, napier did well, and reke just wasn't the same as last year when he was producing. Perk has a dangerous team as he added Sato and has tons of depth, just needs to stay healthy.
(4) Knicks over (5) Cavs. Another exciting matchup decided by less than 6 fpts. Cavs has a great team w youth and it's a shame he had TThompson out for this matchup and Murray missed almost every game except 2. However injuries go both ways as Tyler's Knicks had Rose out, Warren out and Ntilkinia. Cavs should be ecstatic about the future of his team while Knicks and I will have a rematch of the East finals from last year.
East Round 2:
(1) Bulls vs. (4) Knicks.
Re-match of last years East finals. Both teams come in a little banged up as I have Parker and Green day to day while Knicks has Warren out and Ntilkinia out. Of course, D-Rose is back to play against me in the playoffs. Our teams have a similar makeup as both rely on depth while Knicks may be a little weaker but still dangerous. Should be fun ty.
(2) Hawks vs. (3) Kedrick Fucking Perkins TRaptors. One of these guys is gonna make it to the East finals for the first time, good shit. Trey's team looks to be getting healthy in time, and Perk needs his guys to stay healthy. Should be another close one.
