These all look like good series to me.

Denver still has the best player in the world so that is something.  The way that OKC plays D, DEN will have to hit their 3s when they get them.  I sill expect OKC to win this, maybe 6 games, but with DEN giving them more trouble than most think.

I am not sold on MIN just because they beat LAL.  LAL is a decent team, that is a nice series win, but I think GSW with Butler is a better team than LAL with doughy Luka and banged up LeBron.  I have GSW in 7 in this one.

CLE should stabilize and beat IND but not without a lot of drama.  IND is good.  Garland is an important player, not sure when he is back, but even without him, I like CLE in 6.  You could see in the game last night that Jerome was dribbling around too much.  They need Garland to get them into things, to give Mitchell a break.

The betting odds have BOS favored over NYK in this series.  That is all I will say on that one.

This series will be a good verdict on who the Best Player in the World is. Jokic or SGA.

I am excited to see those two go at each other. Duel.

Yeah, I am not sold on Minnesota either.

I thought the Lakers played badly during that series. They did not defend as well as they had done during the regular season. They allowed Minnesota to get easier scoring opportunities as a result. My main concern with Minny is the lack of playmaking / guard play outside of Ant. Instead, LAL's defense was so bad that the covered that weakness in the T'Wolves and did their job for them.

I am still low on the T'Wolves. In part because of how bad they looked in the first half of the season. In part because Conley has declined, Ant has little guard help, and they are exposed as a result.

I was impressed by Randle though. He was fantastic in Round 1. The type of player we always thought he could be if he stopped going iso all the time and played team offense instead.
