    Very good. I was worried that their bracket was going to be a cakewalk. Go Pelicans.

    Jrue is playing out of his mind as a 3 and D wing. Davis is not playing at peak Brow form, but still amazing. Rondo is back to his usual ways. Mirotic is going to regress to his mean but is balling out right now. Portland has no answer for those 4. But there's a big drop off after that. Even with tighter rotations, they lack depth. GSW will feast on that any time the "big 4" are sitting.

    Golden State doesn't have such a great bench themselves, so the same could be said this year to a certain extent. Without Curry, they are left with Durant as their primary shot creator. And I'm curious to see how they defend Davis.

    I overestimated the Spurs and to some degree the Blazers, but Pelicans I might have underestimated even though i thought they’d give GS a run for their money. They are playing some crazy ball right now!

    Curry is ready to practice.

    I really don't understand why the experts are talking "without Curry against Pelicans"

    Warriors are conservative. He is unlikely to play this Sunday.

    They could just lose a couple a couple days to give curry more time to recover.

    It's funny how, all of a sudden, Warriors are in the Hard bracket.

    Curry is going to be re-evaluated in a week. That isn't the timetable for his return. Kerr said a couple days ago it might be 3 more weeks.

    Thinking about it...In any other year, Rockets would be TEH DOOMED if they potentially faced an opponent like the Pellys.

    Sell papers...build narrative that sticks or sells more

    AD vs KD will be pretty good, have to admit, I'm really looking forward to that.

    Both are just freaks, and both, outside of Giannis and Lebron I guess, are the only ones long and athletic enough to stop the other.

    Curry should be the last of their worries. Patty Mills is not done injuring people.
