West is definitely deeper, but I'd put Raptors/Nurse and Celtics/Stevens 1-2 in power rankings to date for the bubble + first round. Possibly the Heat/Spo in 3rd. Coaches matter hugely in playoff series. Don't trust Budenholzer or Dantonio teams to get it done deep in the post-season. Willem Dafoe looking dude for Utah's doing a great job, but the Nuggets haven't been playing all that great since the reboot. If the Clippers get it together and survive the Mavs, they should be better in later rounds. If you're gonna take em down, 1st round with this in flux Clippers roster is your best shot.

That’s silly. Whoever comes out of the West this year will win the title.

Should be more even next year though

Tatum will be all NBA this year. Mitchell will not and at the time of shutdown Tatum was regarded as one of the best players in the NBA. Mitchell never has been considered that.

You're correct this debate is over. Tatum ended it this season.

Raptors voting on boycotting the game

Wow, that's crazy.


In related news, Porzingus will be continuing his boycott for tonight's game. Dallas gonna need a repeat performance from Super Luka as well as another bed shitting from Piss the Bed Paul.

Uh-oh. King James is not going to like this.

It's fake news. WWN seems to be infected with whatever afflicts the Hawk. They considered boycotting but will play.

Boycotting for what?

_________________

Gordon Hayward's off the Celts roster for the semis so no need to boycott the series.

So much for Luka struggling. Didn't see the last game but if Doc doesn't make the switch Dallas just might win the series. No more Marcus Morris guarding Luka. If he isn't going to switch Kawhi or George over to Luka then no more Best 2 way shit for either of them.

Doc has made the adjustment. Have to or he is going to keep killing them. No way an undersized 4 is going to be able to guard him.

Forgot to mention doc being a dumbass by keeping Reggie Jackson in the game at the end. Inevitably he got switched on to Luka and got torched. That's on doc. Isn't he too old for that rookie mistake?

Probably but I didn't see the last game. If he loses this series its definitely on him however..
Still one of the best coaches in the league though.

Very admirable of you. If you have kawhi and PG you probably have enough to make things a little hard for Luka. Let's see what happens. They're up big last time I checked in game 5.

Suggest tuning in to the White Sox for a bit.

Should have have been a 5 game series. Dallas is good but the initial match ups were bad.
