Clippers vs Mavs could go 7 seven games IMO.
Nuggets vs Lakers could be interesting too…
Honestly in the East the matchups suck.
Cavs vs Magic is pure ass…I’m not sure who the hell outside those cities will be watching those games.
Bucks vs Pacers on paper sound good, but I have zero confidence in the Bucks….I got the Pacers winning 4-1.

the east is dogshit
they really could’ve been the second seed lol
Clippers Mavs and Nuggets Lakers most
Tbh most of the west matchups. I really don’t care about the East matchups that much, except for ours ofc.
The in season / ball stealing rivalry
The bucks disrespect is crazy lol, let’s not forget they beat a lot of top contenders meanwhile we wet the bed against virtually every top contender
Teams (or players), aside from the Heat of course, that I like watching so I want to go further.
– OKC
– Nuggets
– Clippers
– Wolves because of Ant
– Mavs because of Luka
Typing that made me realize it’s unlikely for me to root for someone in the East, although I do like several players like Hali and Brunson.
The one where we win the championship
* OKC and Mavs are exciting. I would have wanted the WCF to be between them, but unfortunately they’re on the same side of the bracket.
* Barely interested in the washed Warriors, except I like their rookies a lot so I’d be tickled to see those kids prosper.
* Only mildly interested in how the storylines of the geriatric Clippers and the Minnesota Anthony Edwardses play out.
* Completely uninterested in anything involving the Lakers, Kings, Nuggets, Pelicans, or Suns.
Clippers/Mavericks will probably be most entertaining in the west, for the east honestly us vs either Knicks/Celtics or sixers vs either Knicks/Celtics would be entertaining than the other eastern matchups.
Clippers/Mavs – seeing that there is some history with this series and both teams have something to seriously prove.
Other than that a potential Nuggets/Lakers matchup could be a lot of fun given last year
Pacers and Magic should easily win, I dont trust Doc at all and 2 non-shooting bigs are a recipe for disaster in the playoffs. Other than that every single series looks interesting
Orlando Magic beating the Cavs would be fun. I’m interested to see how OKC does. I find the Mavs pretty fun.
This is going to be a really fun year for first round series.
Best mates an okc fan. Would love to meet them in the finals again but if we can’t I hope they win it all
Winners of the 1st round:
West – Thunder (over Pelicans) , Clippers, Suns, Nuggets (over Lakers)
East – Celtics (over 76ers), Heat, Bucks, Cavs
I am most invested in whatever matchup the Thunder draw. If they go against the Lakers, we might see a 1-8 upset
If we beat the sixers we Gucci.
Okc really, idc about anyone else out West. Okc always shows respect to us, and ima put some respect on their name and ima say they’ll reach WCF minimum. Now for the west Magic since they’re our little brother, and Pacers since it will be funny as to watch Bucks get swept by them. And Dame will leave again🤣
I just can’t wait for the bucks to get bounced. I have no idea what they’re going to do with giannis when him and Dame just doesn’t work, they can’t move him at this point. They listened to gm giannis and got burned twice, first with coach Bud and now with Dame.
Dallas
Man some of these matchups look so scripted Celtics vs Philly and Knicks vs heat all time rivals on the west lakers vs nuggets or warriors vs kings. Lets see how the league plays this out. Bucks vs pacers should be good and clips vs mavs.
The Pacers all offense, no defense style, is a recipe for disaster in the playoffs
