I’d put Pels in 50/50 category but otherwise I agree.

Looks good. That being said, i want okc!

Clippers not scary. Why is everyone here scared of them? Rather them than a healthy pels.

I’m gonna say 75% chance against clippers and 50% against Denver

Id swap Clippers with the Thunder and I dont really think a LeBron team in the playoffs is an easy W

I know we hate the Suns but they wouldn’t be an easy matchup. I still think we’d win though.

Wolves are tough with Kat healthy they have all the length and defence which will negate our new strength. Clippers don’t really have any bigs which we can exploit and old legs. I’d put wolves and maybe pels over clippers.

I think I’m more worried about Minnesota, and maybe even Pels, than Clippers.
They looked like a legit Top 3 team in the league for about 2-3 months, but it seems like they ran out of gas.

I’d rather play the Clippers than the T Wolves.

Exactly how I’d rank them, well done.

No Lebron team is a easy W in the playoffs. Dude cruises during the regular season, but come playoff time he always seems to lock in.

Nuggets fan here, saying 20% is kinda not true, yeah we will tank again at the end of the year cuz we want to be healthy and everybody will writes us off again but mavs have more than 20% for sure..

Mavs in 1

Denver is a difficult opponent against everybody else.. it’s a very winnable series for the Mavs and that includes the Clippers.

Lol every team on that play-in (except Kings) wouldn’t be an easy win, that is why I’m glad we are out of it.

I’m putting them all in bright yellow

i think nuggets r overrated – can understand why ppl are giving them their flowers though after last years run

I’m telling you now the lakers are not an easy matchup if we see them in the playoffs, even tho they got swept by the nuggets, if you watched the playoff series you’d understand it was genuinely close. Healthy AD and lebron are SCARY

Pels are better than the clips
NoWayNotThisAgain
If we’re healthy the finals team from the west will be us or the Nugs.

Every team in the west playoffs is going to be scary.
Literally every franchise will be disappointed if they lose in round one… but it’s happening for half the teams
….not the Mavs obviously

The Clipper PTSD is so real in this sub.
The team we have now is ridiculously better than what we’ve had in the past.
Last time we played this team in the playoffs we pretty much ran Powell for 5 minutes to start the game and then went Small Ball with Maxi at the 5 because it was our best lineup. Our wings were undersized for George and Kawhi.
Now we have a center rotation that shuts down the paint. We have both PJ and Maxi to guard their wings, instead of just Maxi having to do everything.
Plus Exum and DJJ (and Green to a degree) to pester everybody.
Also, we will have the 2 best players on the court, and the best 4th quarter player.
What’s going to be annoying is the random Norman Powell nights when he hot from 3, because he’ll more than likely be open with how our defense works.
But if a team isn’t knocking down 3’s then we win. We’ve consistently been able to guard the rim better and the paint a lot better during this 9/10 game winning streak.

And their defense can’t stop our offense.
