So you both think the Warriors will beat the Kings. Care to expound on that? I'm not familiar enough with the Kings to know how they would perform; but this is the same Warriors group that beat the Celtics in the Finals. Like the Suns, the Warriors are better than their playoff position.
(I would say the Denver Nougats are probably worse than their position indicates, and are #1 mainly because most of their competitors were taken down by injuries.)
This is Sacramento’s first playoff appearance in 16 years. They just ended the longest playoff drought in the NBA. Do I expect them in their first playoffs to beat the defending champs….no.
Sac can score but they leave a lot to be desired defensively. I think it’ll be competitive for sure but I see the Warriors winning in 6.
Denver has been the best team in the west for 2/3 of the season. Honestly, if the Suns get by the Clippers, I think that could easily be a 7 game series. Their ancillary pieces (Murray, MPJ, Gordon) have to play well for sure but they’re gonna be tough to beat.
