I think you need to edit this one. You are showing the Suns in the play in.

Replace Suns with NOP in the First round brackets

Replace Suns with NOP in the First round brackets

Yes. It's surprising it hasn't already been updated.

I like lakers and pelicans to advance

Mavs over clips in 7
Denver over New Orleans in 5
Suns over twolves in 6
OKC over lakers in 6.

This is pretty crazy. If the lakers do lose to NO, and the Kings beat the blazers and GS beats the Jazz, there will be a 3 way tie with those 3. Who holds the tiebreaker there? All 3 of those teams want the 8 seed because it's only one win and your in.

Warriors and Kings owned the Lakers this season -- the Lakers have a lot of motivation to beat the Pels, otherwise they are in the 9/10 game if they lose. Assuming the other two win, the Lakers would fall to 10 if NO beats them.

Seems like the Lakers were almost always missing at least one starter when the Warriors played them though.

Warriors have to beat Kings then either Lakers or Pels and if they somehow get through those 2, they go play OKC who has outplayed them handily all year.

But that's the West this year, a gauntlet

Yup. There’s no historically dominant team in the west that a 60+ game winner, but 3 teams winning 57 games and the 4-6 essentially being 50 win teams is a tough parity-driven conference. There’s no team I fear due to being dominant, but I want nothing to do with OKC whose youth and athleticism makes us look really old.
