Mavs could still move up to 3 but I’m kinda hoping they stay put at 4, Denver is getting healthy and Utah is playing like crap. A 1st round series with Utah looks far more promising than Denver

I'd still like Mavs to take 3 seed just to avoid PHX until the WCF.
No other WC team scares me that much.

Utah/Denver/MINN/GSW all feel like food.
MEM is a good match up for Dallas.
PHX is a terrible match up. :(:(

So the NBA takes away Luka’s 16th technical making him eligible to play in the last regular season game and of course he gets injured..

You can’t make this stuff up

Lakers are out. My season is complete.

A few early round teams with the potential to go further, but teams like the Nets and Clips would have had better shots if Simmons and Kawhi got their act together.

I think the East runs through the Top 3 - Miami, Boston and Milwaukee. I don't think the 76ers will win it because Harden is already starting in with his usual baggage.

And still think the Suns will repeat and go back to the Finals again, barring major injuries. Good stories with the Grizz and Warriors back, but Suns are too good a team.

Hoping Luka is OK obviously.

NBA has a great playoff season and format. Looking forward to it lasting longer than a series in Dallas....

Utah has been playing like crap lately so I’m still feeling the Mavs will win this series even if Luka misses a game

Celtics get Nets in the first round. I think they win the series, but Durant and Kyrie arent going to let it be the layup Cleveland or Chicago would have been. There is possibly Robert Williams could play games 5, 6, and 7

What a great end to the game for Boston. Smart seeing a Kyrie on Tatum mismatch was beautiful.

Kyrie really showed himself to be a little person with the middle finger.

On the contrary..I'm never upset when a player defense themselves or responds when these "little person" fans get brave and entitled behind the safety of security and a crowd. Hope we find out what the fan said and they get banned for life.

His interview made it seem not so bad, but also that he was playing into the energy. In that regards, I may have been harsh. It did contradict what he said before about no playing into the energy, but it is Kyrie we are talking about

In today's game between Boston and NJ, I felt like it was Durant that lost the game for NJ by his wild throw at the end that didn't score any points. He should have kept the ball longer if possible, or not have risked a bad bounce from off of the hoop. Every second counted at the end, and that bad bounce back gave a second that NJ used wisely for the buzzer beater shot.

The game came to one team making the bad basketball play, and the other making the good one. I believe the play your referencing, Kyrie had Brown on gimme cutter but forced the ball to KD.

Im glad we took game 1. This could/should be a tooth and nail series. People talk about KD in the clutch, but Kyrie is an absolute killer in the 4th in close games. His game 1 performance is more standard than people realize. Both Tatum and Brown are great clutch players in their own right, KD and Kyrie's resume scares me to death
