Lakers and warriors want Phoenix I bet.

The Lakers match up better with the Suns than the Warriors do, but the Warriors match up better with the Jazz than the Lakers do IMO.

Almost wondering if the Warriors would intentionally tank on Wednesday to get a series with the Jazz.

Nah, nobody is going to intentionally tank a play-in game.

Not to mention, in the past week the Warriors beat the full-strength Suns by a wider margin than they beat the Conley/Mitchell-less Jazz.

Still kinda sucks that the Clippers courageously tanked to our side of the bracket - the Nuggets w/o Murray would've been the easier 2nd round matchup.

But beating the Clippers will probably be more enjoyable, so there's that.

Agreed on all accounts.
Really hoping for the warriors in round one at this point.
Would have been nice to get the nuggets next but oh well.

In the middle of it all, right where he should be, Gobert has a "We're not done yet" look on his face.

Well for one, in each of our games against them at full strength over the last two seasons, we have posted elite offensive ratings of 124.8, 117.7, and 115.8.

Maybe they'll step it up in the playoffs. But that sure wasn't the case last year, where their defense in the playoffs last year was terrible.

Maybe they're a different team this season. But their defense was quite a bit worse this year than last - by 4 pts per 100 possessions. Despite the fact that Paul George and Kawhi Leonard each missed a larger proportion of last season than this one.

I’m not alone in thinking that their defense is better than the stats.

And, besides that, they play a (overly) physical, switching style..... which is something we’ve struggled against.

Rudy looking like the NBA grim reaper in the middle there. Great picture.
