  1. No shot the warriors sweep that toronto team with KD. The Raptors blew them out in the regular season that year without Kawhi. Warriors definitely win but it's closer to 6 games.

  2. Can we say the basketball gods are coming back to bite Giannis and the Bucks? They got Adrian Griffin (rookie head coach) who was 30-13 fired to get Doc Rivers.

  3. If I was Giannis, I would call KD. I would ask how his calf injury felt to see if his feeling is similar. Every human body is different but it is good to get a template of how it could feel.

  4. Warriors might matchup better against the Nuggets than OKC or MIN. Denver has some perimeter defenders that can bother Steph, but the other two have more of it.

  5. I think the Lakers will move up to 8 and face the Suns, and the Dubs will face the kings in 9/10 matchup. Lakers will get 7 and dubs will get 8
