i doubt if okc makes the second round unless theyll be facing blazers whos now without their big man.
Your points have some merit but would you think the NBA will allow the Golden State Warriors to be knocked out in the first round or even the second round. I doubt it very much. I would rather avoid them till the end.
that really doesn't have anything to do with whats being discussed. if the rockets face GS is whatever round regardless if its 1st or last, they are very much beatable. But that's obviously not happening. GS isn't going to face a challenge by anyone in the west besides houston. and obviously, houston isn't dropping do the bottom of the rankings to face them in the 1st round
Of course it does. NBA refereeing is part of the formula for winning a championship. You can’t discard it.
Got it. I just would hate to meet the NBA darling In the first or second rounds. Not because I am afraid of them, but because I have seen enough throughout the years from the NBA. We can take votes on which round you prefer the Rockets to meet GS.
i really couldn't care less about votes. at some point the rockets and gs will collide, when that is makes no difference for me
Fine. There is also a possibility that the rockets and the golden state Warriors will not meet this year’s playoffs.
sure, if you don't think the rockets are a true contender. Which I would find hard for anyone to say anyone else is over them. I probably wouldn't even take them seriously
Did not say the Rockets aren’t a true contenders. Golden State can possibly lose in the early rounds due to implosion ...
Like I said, it’s merely a Pretty Good Pitch. “PGP” for computer geeks. Spoiler 3 days off for Cle last year. Enough for General Soreness, but not worse. And it’s not just about physical recovery, but mental too. And ask yourself, are you really worried about a WCF foe after we beat the Worriers in round 2? Who? I’d be more worried about a feeling of invincibility leading into Game 1 of Finals three days removed from beating them. I’d rather have a WCF foe snap us back to fockass with an early loss than the 76ers.
I can actually see the Nuggets losing 4 games. They play the Pistons, Rockets, Thunder, Wizards, Warriors, Spurs, Blazers (x2), Jazz and Timberwolves. They could easily drop 4-5 of those games.
i can see them losing to houston and worriers , and perhaps slip another game to jazz or blazers, but losing 4 games would be too much of an implosion for otherwise very stable denver team throughout the year
