I just can't bring myself to root for Trae Young. Atlanta were at least fun earlier in the year with Jalen Johnson and DeAndre Hunter. With those guys gone / not there, I don't like this team. Risacher is the only hope for something intriguing.

Mo Gueye has struggled against bigger centers during the center when he was forced to cover them. Banchero easily bullies his way around Gueye towards the rim. That looks a favourable matchup for him. Gueye is not physical enough to defend Banchero.

Dyson Daniel?s needs to develop his offense. Defense is elite already.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Was hoping that Atlanta could sneak out this win. We should win both series in 5 or so, but Orlando is much more physical and will make it tougher. Also, I think Orlando would give Cleveland more of a difficult series than Atlanta.

Risacher needs to be more aggressive offensively in the 2nd half. Not a lot of scorers on that team now.

I am listening to the Zach Lowe / Bill Simmons playof previews. They are talking about their All-NBA picks.

Both are going for Zubac as 3rd Team All-NBA.

Edit: Actually, Z Lowe has Zubac as a near miss. Tempted though.

Need to see Memphis win this one. Give OKC a more difficult first round matchup in GSW.

Much rather GSW win here. Better shot at upsetting Houston and beating the Lakers next round. OKC will slack I feel, esp when they meet the well-rounded Clippers in the West Semis.

A Memphis beat writer said the Grizzlies were planning on playing big lineups tonight. Try to beat up the smaller Warriors team in the paint.

I hope they do. I want to see Z Edey!

7 straight by Memphis.
If they can get Bane going, this is going to be a battle
