OKC in 5
Minnesota sweep
Knicks in 7
Celtics in 5
Why OKC not getting any love is beyond me..team had best record in West & has one of top 3 players in NBA in Alexander..
I think people correctly identified two major weak points in OKC that will harm their post-season chances. (1) lack of playoff experience (2) lack of interior presence. Only one legit big in Chet and he is skinny and easy to push around.
However, the draw has been kind to OKC. They could have easily crashed in the first round if they had drawn the Lakers or someone like that. A team with experience and an interior presence.
Instead they got an injured New Orleans team and then in the 2nd round where always going to get a team in either PHX or DAL who had no interior presence.
So now they have a lucky draw all the way to the WCF where they will meet a team with strong big men. Either Jokic and A Gordon of the Nuggets. Or Towns, Gobert and Naz Reid of Minnesota. That will be their first real test of the postseason. I expect them to fail at that test.
