    I mean, if we lose one, we lose home court advantage. If a series is tied 1-1, it's better to be the team without home court advantage.

    Hopefully the Blazers have something cool for the starting lineup introductions. And @HCP and crew better televise it like they have in the past!

    Last year, we had a normal intro in playoffs. That was lame.

    Well yeah, the team up 2-1 always has HCA because they're up and there's 2 games remaining for each. I'm just saying, we don't want to start 1-1. It's better to be the team without HCA than the team with HCA if the series starts 1-1.

    Regardless if AD is playing 'center' or not, he's a roamer on offense. He doesn't hang out inside of the paint.

    You've got to think about it like this. The Pels want to take Nurkic out of the paint. So if he's on AD or Niko you will more than likely see AD and/or Niko either on the 3 point line or at the very least outside the paint. But from yalls point of view, you want Nurkic patrolling the paint. To counter, yall would want more athletic guys like Aminu and Collins will get a lot of work running around and chasing AD and Niko around the floor.

    I did however here that you guys are planning on starting Nurkic on AD, but I doubt that lasts very long

    A bit nervous. The first few minutes will let me know how serious this team is and will set the tone.
