NBA play in tournament thread

In the three games that the Lakers played the Warriors this year they had 20 point leads in all of them and 30 point leads in 2 of them. If the Lakers cannot beat the Warriors, it would probably be a good time to jump on them in the playoffs, because they definitely aren't right.

Part of me wants to face the Lakers first because of the psychological boost the Jazz will get going into the 2nd round knowing that they knocked off the defending champions.
 
If LA is the 7 seed and GS the 8, it's possible we play GS

then the Lakers (if they beat Phoenix)

then possibly the Clippers in the West Finals

then possibly the Nets in the Finals

Would be the hardest postseason road in the history of the NBA

I’m looking at the last few games that curry has gone crazy in and there’s maybe only one really strong healthy team they played against of late. Every other team they played had injuries or are either 8 seeds or lower. We almost beat them without Conley and Donovan. #notworried. We own the warriors.

Worry about the lakers - Davis is a very tough matchup against rudy. Who guards LeBron??

Clippers are a second round matchup.

As the one seed, I'm pretty sure we play the lowest seed after round 1. So if LA is the 7 seed and wins, we would play them.

If I'm wrong, please do correct me. I might be thinking NFL.

It's a bracket. We play the winner of 4/5, then after that play the winner of the 2/3/6/7 bracket. Our path goes LAC/DAL in the second round.

Ummm, no. GS would need to beat LA for this to happen. If LA falls to GS they are in real danger of being ousted in that 2nd game, because all signs point to the Lakers having a huge matchup advantage against the Warriors. If they lose to GS, they aren't right.

At this point I am not certain I fear the Clippers more than Denver or Phoenix. They look like a team that is just going through the motions like they are punching a timecard or something, not like players who are "feeling it." That locker room feels. . .off.

I'm OK with giving Phoenix the honor, but that's just me. . .

You are both right. There are no wrong answers to the Lakers first round matchup conundrum

Today I had the thought that the Lakers could rest Davis and Lebron vs GSW and just go for the 8th seed. If they do that I hope it bites them im in the *** and lose to the Grizz.
