I only really believe in the Bucks I guess which is why I said possible, I think this Raptors team is going to disappoint in the post season. Don't trust Lowry in big moments, and if the Raptors dissolve down to Kawhi ball I think the Bucks or even Philly could beat them.

Both Gasol and Kawhi will help them big times in the playoff. Philly will lose out in the clutch if they put Simmons on the floor. Otherwise they'd have a decent chance too. But i won't trust Brett Brown in the playoffs.

I have the same distrust for Nurse that I do for Brown, but tbh I completely forgot they got M Gasol. I don't think he'll be much of a factor in most series since he's too slow to guard the perimeter for 20+ mins a game like he would have to against the Bucks or the Celtics, but he'll be crucial against Philly in the 2nd round.
 
I'm still can't believe it. Sacramento was so far ahead. Portland only played 6 guys and weren't even trying to win. What the hell happened?? I know the Kings took their starters out at halftime but still.

Kings fans couldn't believe it either. 40 win'd be a milestone for them cuz they literally haven't gotten 40 wins in like, 13 years.

Yep, Terry Stotts clearly wanted to lose that game:

G. Trent Jr. 48
A.Simons 48
J.Layman 48
M.Leonard 43
S.Labissiere 41
Z.Collins 14

But this bunch didn't get the memo and were unconcious (16/22 from 3 for instance).
Also and more importantly, I never expected Dave Joerger to sit the starters the entire second half and play Brewer, Swanigan, etc. F*** him.

Poor Zach Collins can't even get minutes in a 48 minute garbage time game for Stotts, Jazz should send Exum over for him.
 
Wish I was more excited than i am.

Wish Jazz weren't facing Chris Paul again.

Wish karma and basketball gods was a real thing because a few teams would get their comeuppance.

Wish the Jazz will someday catch a break.

Jazz have caught plenty of breaks in the past - like literally being in the same bracket as the first and second time an 8th seed upset the 1 seed in the first-round of the Western Conference Playoffs, which put Utah in prime real estate to back their way into the Conference Finals (1994, 2007). That's pretty damn lucky. Granted, they got blown out both WCF series ... but still, to face Denver after they became the first 8th seed in NBA playoff history to upset the top seed, and then to face Golden State a decade or so later when they became only the third team in NBA history to pull off that type of upset, is a pretty great break. Maybe those two improbable breaks are what have held the Jazz back...making up for the cosmic craziness of those two upsets.
 
Well, if we win the series, it’ll at least feel like we’ve taken another step this year, even if the Dubs throttle us.

That’ll make things really bright for next season.

Maybe this could be the perfect year: Carmelo was cut and no one wanted him, Wade said buh bye, Lebron missed out on the playoffs...the only thing we’re missing is a first round exit for the fourth horseman.
