    I think Houston will beat them by 10+ back at home but G7 is anyone's game really. I think they might try to rush Durant back for that. I don't know how long calf strain takes to recover from, seems any amount of time from 1 week to 6 weeks from previous.

    The Euro part is huge also. The Blazers vs Denver series would have been pretty big in Europe if Nurk was playing. Not sure it has the same feel without him over there?

    Thinking there should be some way to make this the starting phrase on every thread of the forum? I have not seen such a toxic effect on a forum since JET. I know it's not him. That was like 10 years ago?
    Well..... Come to think of it? Maybe Jet was 12?

    Their coach is going to be very solid for a long time.

    Kyrie, like Lebron needs another superstar next to him to go all the way (that's true of just about any superstar, tho).

    The Warriors without KD but with healthy Steph, Dray and Klay are still a great team - the real question now is - how healthy are Steph and Klay?

    Also, Lillard plays some defense. Irving is best approximated by one of those chairs in a workout drill to dribble around.

    Green is always screaming at the refs and showing them up continually. I'm actually surprised the media doesn't bring it up more as a talking point.

    People saying due to Durant injury Blazers would have had ticket to Finals but pissed it away (not exact words but gist): Why do you assume Houston can come back from 3-2 and win Game 7 on the road but Portland can't? Especially since Houston hasn't won a single game in Oakland this series? And if Houston does pull it off, what makes you think they would be a walk in the park in WCF?

    If Denver makes it to the Finals, that will be an easy choice to make about who to root for (hint: not Denver).

    I mean, I'd be cheering for the Eastern team no matter what if it's the Nuggets, Warriors, or Rockets, so it's pretty easy.

    Yup. Either Toronto or Milwaukee. I don't care.

    They were stacked before he signed with them...they can still win it all in my view.

    Just got to my hotel in Chicago! What did I miss? The same few arguing with multiple people at once? Can’t wait to catch up.
