Honestly if I was the Lakers I would want the number 8 spot instead. I think a motivated and healthy AD would eat Jokic alive. A big if on the health part I know. Plus I dont see anyone on that Denver roster that could handle Lebron. That would be a tougher series than you might think.

Memphis have too many weapons in my opinion. They are deeper than LA, you cant focus on Ja since they have won plenty of games without him. I think a focused Memphis easliy handles LA.

Lets hope for a Lakers / Knicks finals!

Oh boy! That would be something. My picks for tonight. I like the Raptors and I 'll go out on the limb and take the Thunder.

1-1. Not bad. 2 good games last night. Thunder are in good shape for next season even if they don't beat the Wolves tomorrow. The Pels missed Zion, Alvarado and Nance last night. Bulls/Raps was an entertaining game. Could of went either way. The league is stacked.

Home teams are 1-3 so far. There should be some good games Fri night. I saw the score at halftime between Bulls & Raptors & didn't even turn it on until 6 min left in the 4th. Nice comeback by Chicago.

I'm just glad Milwaukee won't have to face Nick Nurse, lol. Coach tries every defensive strategy imaginable & can be tough to face in a playoff series. Not that I'd worry the Raptors would beat the Bucks, but Nurse somehow got his Raptors to take the 76ers to 6 games last year when Philly was clearly the better team & went up 3-0.

I see the Heat winning. And OKC. The Wolves played better when Golbert was not playing. They came back against the Pelicans after he was kicked out and played the Lakers close. I think they are going to lose with him back in the lineup.

And now Giannis is hurt. But to be honest, I've been worried about this matchup with the Heat. I honestly would have preferred Chicago as the Buck's first round opponent. Yes Miami have struggled this season but Jimmy in the playoffs is a different player...a real problem. I see this going 6 or 7 games with a real possibility of the Bucks getting bounced if Giannis is unable to come back at 100% for the rest of the series.

Bad day for injuries already with Ja getting hurt and Herro now out probably for the playoffs. Love was a big pickup for them.
