“Denver is the only team that I’m confident that’s getting out the first round… I’m still not putting no money against LeBron vs. the young boys or Steph vs. the young dudes.” —Paul Pierce 🤔

I think the specific matchup of Lakers vs. OKC is favorable for the Lakers for size reasons but other than that I wouldn’t favor the Lakers or Warriors against any of the current top 4 seeds

Lebron and Steph need to make it into the playoffs first.

Okay, so Denver getting bounced in the first round. RIP.

Lol I’m honestly not confident about any team tbh. Even denver, What if they face the clippers in the 1st round and they’re fully healthy. I’d say that’d be a 7 game series.

I hope he ain’t put money up last year

A lot depends on what the match-ups would be.
For example, do you feel more confident in the Nugs beating the Suns or the Wolves beating the Kings?
I’d take the Nugs and Wolves in those series, but I’d feel more confident in the Wolves beating the Kings.

Respect to PP and KG for actually keeping up with the league unlike other oldheads who spew out nonsense without watching any of the games

I don’t think this is the worst take he’s ever had. A very similar thing happened last year with the Kings and Grizzlies.

So he is putting money on them then?

Only teams I am not scared for the Warriors to face are Pelicans and Kings.
The rest of them, it’s tough.

Denver does not have it guaranteed either. If, for example, they get matched against healthy clippers or heqlthy mavs with their newfound size…I am still picking them, dont get me wrong, but I wouldnt be shocked if they get eliminated either. West is truly all about matchups from round 1 this season.

Considering that they’re the 9 and 10 seeds right now, I think it’s about time to start doubting.

I think betting on the Warriors to win the ship right now at +5000 is a good bet

I’m not saying it’s impossible, but if OKC goes against any experienced team I think they lose.
Every young team has to take their playoff lumps and outside of SGA & Dort they haven’t done anything more than a play in. Playoffs are just different….Isaiah Joe and Jaylin Williams shots are probably not going in at the same rate! Chet will be in foul trouble! Who’s their backup C? It’s just the nature of these things.
Memphis, Minnesota & Kings are all recent examples of this
They could be an anomaly like KD Westbrook Harden Thunder but I think their supporting cast is too young right now

As a Lakers facts unfortunately I agree is over for Bron and Steph

Is he putting his money against Lebron vs Denver or Steph vs Denver? The final standings are nowhere close to being finished, and one of Lebron/Steph may lose in in the play-in game against each other.
burns_before_reading
It’s Boston Vs Denver in the finals. Denver in 7.
neildmaster
That looks like KG…
thatguyteve
Twolves vs gsw def not a good match up. The lack of bigs to matchup and depth of bench, even with Chris Paul back. Won’t be good for the warriors. They’d need dray to chock out Rudy again haha
smalls_1804
Celtics seem like a lock, but then again if they get the Heat all beta are off
SandyMandy17
Idk if Steph or bron are necessarily the reason
But the nuggets are the only team I have confidence will be healthy and play their game in the playoffs
Clips can get hurt, if they’re healthy they’re winning a series
Wolves I trust 0 their halfcourt offense is ass Rudy is always gonna carry you to a bunch of wins in the regular season
Thunder are like 11 are we gonna be shocked if they lose to the reloaded Mavs?

I love KG’s excitement at exciting talent taking over the reins. PP has said some diabolically weird shit since retiring but this is a pretty good take from him.

KG’s dick is getting hard again talking about these young dudes

I think the Wolves would love to match up with Golden State in round 1. They’re way too small and we have the perimeter defenders to give steph problems

am i crazy or has the pendulum swung too far in denvers favor? we could totally lose in the first round

As a nuggets fan, I don’t get it. I mean, I like hearing it and of course I hope we win but we are currently playing the worst of the top 6 western teams.

First part of that statement is valid for sure
So is OKC or the Wolves the boys vs the dudes
