What are your expectations for the postseason?

This is more the lines I'm looking at; how we play and what level we play at. Way too many NBA critics judge entirely from a win loss result.

 

We lack depth in the front court and the playoffs are notorious for slowing down the pace.

I think we may win a few but I expect a first-round loss.

But this will be great experience for this young core.

 

Agreed.

However, despite going into the matchup with less wins and a seemingly worse team than last year, I feel way more confident that this series will be a lot more competitive.

Last year felt like walking into our impending doom.

 

Like Dame's, my expectations are to win the championship and I will be devastated if we lose whether it's the first, second, third, or fourth rounds.

 

So..... how have your expectations changed? Have they changed?

 

16-2

 

I'll be pretty bummed if we can't knock off the Clips without Paul and Griffin.

I don't really want to think ahead to GS, but I'm really hoping we can come out strong tomorrow and just smash them.

 

Pretty much your second quote. At this point we should win the series, however not even thinking about round 2 yet.

 

Cautiously optimistic. I now feel like we should win the series, but even though the Clippers are reeling with their injuries, this is still a best of three series and the Clippers have home court advantage.

I want to see Lillard and crew come out in game 5 and step on their throat, and leave the Clips no hope, but something tells me it'll be tougher than anticipated to put them out of their misery.

 

It is SO important to come out strong in game five and just kill any hope they have of staying in the series. I hate to call it a "must win," but the last thing we need right now is to give them any confidence.

 

This.

 

I expect us to win this series easily. And then we have a great chance to sweep the Warriors in the next round. Without Curry, the Warriors aren't scary AT ALL and they can't guard us. I don't know what to expect in the WCF. If it's the Thunder, I like us to win in 5. If it's the Spurs, I'm not so confident. Depends on how Aldridge plays.
