Was definitely rooting for the Raps, but once Detroit won their game 7, the logical part of me was hoping Cleveland won to make it a tougher Round 2.

The feel good storylines in the East are over (because Phuck Filly). Time to take care of business at home and hope Pistons/Cavs is a grind.

Detroit is going to be difficult to eliminate if Harris plays like that.

These were much needed growing pains for Toronto. They are on their way with a few more moves. Don't see Cleveland beating Detroit.

Spurs should gentleman sweep the Lakers and hopefully send LeBum into retirement.

Wolves would give OKC a tough series if they were healthy but that looks like another gentleman sweep.

And finally, Knicks in 7!

Muchas gracias Panos. I know I have a lot of cleanup and additions to do on the mobile site. And the main site too, it hasn't been updated in years unfortunately.

I am starting to come out of my health stupidity that's been dragging on me for years now. I have a bit more to go before I get back to some semblance of norm and then it'll be off to the races for me. Hopefully.

Didn't know. Hope you're back at 100% soon! We need you in the Starting Lineup.

For whatever reason duren had a tough time w Carter and each of Cleveland’s bigs is better than that. Also I have to imagine Thompson would guard Donovan and Cunningham on harden is risky. Cade can be in foul trouble

Cleveland actually matches up better with the pistons than we do.

If LeBum wants to play 1 more year.... I can see only a handful of destinations, with NY being one of them.

Think you got the west twisted:

It’s Lakers vs Thunder

Wolves vs Spurs

Gentleman sweeps still hold

Maybe but I think Detroit has a little of those old Mike fratello teams. Good during regular season because there’s only so much game planning you can do for a specific team then but come the playoffs you have chances for game to game adjustments deeper dives etc.

good analogy! Maybe a bit of a Thibian like thing also? Team plays above its talent level during the season and will run thru walls for their coach, only to hit one they can't get thru.

When NBC went to San Antonio that colorway schmatic court design and t-shirt thing looked bloody awful. LIke a bad WHAM! video from the 1980's. I think of spurs I think the Black with silver accents. Classic bad guy gun slinger look. Not some Culture Club Cocaine inspired public service video for AID's awareness.
