Is Portland for real?

I said GS has the same ROSTER that lost in the first round last year. Scroll back. Look at my comment.

 

And that it has everything to do with this season... You forgot that. But, they are a different team, with a different style, with a different coach

 

You on the happy sauce today, Mags? The top 4 seeded teams do have HCA in the first round. After that it's by record.

 

Wanna wager?

 

Wrong. IF the 5th seed has a better record. They get HCA.

 

What I said was true. The players are the same. They are beatable.

 

I learned a long time ago not too wager on the internet with a guy who thinks here has abetter link. That said, prove it.[emoji12]

 

Just trust me bro. It happened like 3 times already. I think the last time was the Eastern Conference with Atlanta or Boston having to play on the road with the 4th seed

 

Every team in the NBA is beatable.

 

Here's your proof e blazer:

"That fourth seed might be higher than the fifth in name only. Home-court advantage goes to the team with the best record, which isn't always the team with the higher seed"

So you agree with me. Read my original post.

 

I think Atlanta (5th seed) had HCA over (4th seed) Boston a few years back

 

I agree that no team is invincible. I don't agree with your logic that GS is the same team that lost in the first round last season

 

Here's what I said,mags. It's all true and you agree with it.

By the way, the Warriors have basically the same roster as last year and they got bounced out of the first round. They're hardly invincible.

 

I said they basically have the same ROSTER. That is true.

 

Not exactly. Speights has improved their bench with his improved play, and Livingston/Barbosa have been huge for them also. Klay Thompson is much improved. For the most part, same players, but if you really look at it...they're not the same team anymore.

 

The same roster, especially how young most of them are, does not give argument that the team can be easily beat. Sorry... Players get better, new coach has a better use of the existing talent and the first round opponent plays a part.

 

I didn't say they could be easily beat. And I didn't say the players weren't improved.

 

Where'd e blazer go? I want that bet to go down!
