GS better buckle down and get that first seed, because they could be in some real trouble if they have to see OKC in the second round and then Houston in the WCF without homecourt advantage.I didn't see the game but what in a 32 point loss made you think OKC can hang with Golden State?When OK3 goes 3-18 from deep and Paul George has the night he has, then OKC obviously gets blown out. I still think GSW > OKC in a playoff series, but I wouldn't let last night's game be representative of the Thunder team. Westbrook had a bad night too. But as we've seen, when the OK3 have solid nights, they can beat anybody, including the Warriors who they are 2-1 against in this season. I do think Westbrook needs to tone it down at times. When OKC needed something while GSW started pulling away, all Westbrook did was jack up 40 footers, or drive into quadruple teams and then make a bad pass or try a horrid shot attempt. He's an electric player but can be really inefficient and inconsistent as well.losing Roberson made the matchup no longer intriguing.

Man, I think OKC could really give GS fits in the playoffs.With Butler and Kawhi out, I think OKC gets to that 3 spot. GS better buckle down and get that first seed, because they could be in some real trouble if they have to see OKC in the second round and then Houston in the WCF without homecourt advantage.
Charlotte may be the most stuck team in the league. Outside of monk (who does not look good so far) they are playing all vets Howard, walker, batum, zeller. How do they become relevant?

Man nets have a 100 on cavs with 9 minutes left. Cavs are down 1. They will probably still win game but bloom is definitely off the rose on their new role players. If they lose this watch out!
The 76ers play hard. Their recent games have had a playoff feel. I get a lot of people don't like them here, but they are fun to watch.

With those two and Reddick, they can really spread the floor for Embiid and Simmons.Saric is a very nice complement to Embiid and Simmons as well.

Embiid is a competitive guy, seems to play every game with a purpose.

They have some really fun players but they lead the league in turnovers and that is not a recipe for playoff success. I would much rather face them than a lot of these other teams in the playoffs mEdit: as I was typing this they fouled Wade on a 3 point attempt to give him a chance to tie the game. They are incredibly young. Except for that one amazing thunder team with 3 future mvps, young teams struggle in the playoffs...
