    My bad I thought this was the AROUND THE LEAGUE thread. Maybe I should post this in one of the 17 threads about the draft that everybody is excited to be a part of instead of the playoffs. What do you think?

    injuries are always a big factor in the playoffs...always. If not for injuries the Spurs would have 7 or 8 championships instead of 5...and the Blazers would have at least 1 more championship too

    I think Memphis is missing what Steven Adams does for them as well.

    Unfortunately, the Blazers don't get saved by the league like the Lakers do.

    If the Lakers and GSW both make it to the next round that's gonna suck for the NBA. Both of their darlings. One will have to go.

    Maybe Silver had a crew sent out to injure Brandon Clarke.

    If the Lakers and Warriors play in the second round, I promise you that will be the most watched second round matchup in the history of the NBA. That’s NOT gonna suck for the NBA.

    Says the guy who typed that LeBron hasn’t won a ring since the bubble as proof he’s sliding. Get over yourself. Don’t let your hate block what little common sense you claim to have.

    Down 3-1, Bucks force Game 7 but Grizzlies are done. My predictions

    I don't think they miss Clarke much...maybe a little to match up with Hachimura

    they do miss the interior defense Adams plays...he's like a wall in the paint and he allows Jackson to freelance a lot more. They also really miss those 5 offensive rebounds a game Adams was providing. That's a lot of extra possessions

    I think Memphis wins the next one at home, but yeah it's a mountain to climb. Lakers will likely finish it back in LA.

    Insult. A poor excuse for one anyway.
