    East looking like a typical playoff first round (1, 2, 3 seeds all up 2-0, 4/5 tied 1-1).

    West first round is all messed up (1, 2, 3 seeds all lost a game at home, 5 seed up 2-0 on 4).

    Maybe he was mad because it didn't have any butter on it.

    I would say the season was all messed up, and the first round has gone about as it should. Utah-Phoenix-Denver is the weakest top-3 in the West in recent memory. And by recent, I mean since the '70s or '80s!

    In a top-4 vs bottom-4 bracket (not sure how individual wins and losses would be tallied), would anyone pick against the bottom-4 this year?

    My conclusion is east has clear divide between top three teams and others while west has more parity. Right now, and that could change by day's end, any of seven teams, excluding Clippers, could win the west.

    Go Blazers.

    This has been the case for decades. I don't know why the east has been so bad for so long.

    Suns could win depending on health. Lakers not entirely healthy either.

    A so called fan in New York spit on Trae Young. And it also got on woman sitting in front of him. I agree with Barkley, show their names and faces. NBA talked about updated code of conduct for fans. Seriously? Aren't most of us taught by age seven not to throw things and spit?

    Is it safe to say that the Miami Heat/Jimmy Butler mystique has died a death? Look at the difference Jrue Holiday makes!

    The Lakers just turn that playoff switch. Suns are done.
