This year's playoffs will be one of the more interesting that the NBA has had in years. Injuries and player movement are going to make this one pretty interesting.

G.S. due to injury and the emergence of Houston appear vulnerable. If Utah gets the 7 seed they will have a real series on their hands in the first round.

In the East it looks like Philly is going to be the dangerous team that no one wants to face.

If they get either the 3rd or 4th seed they are going to be hell to play.

Boston's injuries are starting to mount. Will be difficult for them to go deep. Smart is key for them as well as Irving of course.

_________________

Toronto is dangerous too, I think Kyrie will be ready to go for the second series.

_________________

Pulling for Utah. They’re legitimately dangerous.

Watch out for the Wizards in the East.

Agree with the OP. Lots of good teams this year.

In general a playoff season is better without the last two teams being known ahead of time.

Elections have consequences.

The east has been up for grabs all season, if Steph is 75% or less..Houston can take em.

_________________

Yea I think it's clear both GS and Cavs are beatable

I'll believe it when I see it. There is a reason Lebron has been in 7 straight finals.

_________________

Well the point is it's not a sure thing
Yea if Irving is out Boston is pretty much eliminated
But assuming he's there they and Toronto def have a good shot and I could see Sixers giving them a hard time too

Toronto’s different this year. Can’t wait for the playoffs to start.

LeBron makes his 8th straight Finals appearance because Kevin Love is back. Rooting for former Sun Devil James Harden. Watch out for OKC.

Lebron has had the best talent for the past 7 years. He obviously is a major part of the best talent equation but still makes the no less valid.

Its kind of scary to think how good Utah would have been had they had Hayward and Exum. They'd be legit contenders. Probably wouldn't have moved Hood either

_________________

Steph Curry ruled out of the first round of the playoffs.

_________________

Gotta think Boston n GS plan to win the first series without Kyrie-Curry and bring em back for second series and risk it.

_________________

G.S. is better equipped to win without Steph than Boston is to win without Irving. If Boston meets Milwaukee in the first round without Kyrie they are cooked.

_________________

I was thinkin Boston will get the Wiz and GS gets Jazz.

At the beginning of the season you'd have told me that we'd be talking Utah, New Orleans and Portland at these levels I wouldn't have taken it seriously.

Denver-Portland going down to the wire. Paul Milsap selling them out again He hasn't been very good since returning from injury.

Taj's injury could be HUGE if the Nuggets game matters.

GO BEARS!!!

If Denver wins the game against Minnesota is for a playoff spot.

I know. That's why I said if it matters.

This Western Conf playoff race is some shit. 3-9 are playing for spots and seeding. Nothing in the 3-9 slots will be decided til the last day of the season.

_________________

Minnesota is tough as hell at home. Its going to be tough for Denver to get in.

_________________

Playoff pressure changes a lot though. If the Wolves are going to be missing a player I would prefer Wiggins over Taj. You need that veteran presence in a game like this. You don't need Wiggins stupidity.

Teague might sell them out too. I don't trust his decision making. Looks for his own shot a little too much and he is bad defensively. I can see Jamal Murray giving him some work.

That Rubio trade looks worse every day.

Nuggets win. Play the Timberbulls Wednesday @ 7pm @ Minnesota for a playoff spot.
