Yeah, I’m not quite sure what to do with that Lakers-Grizz series. On the one hand (Ja’s?), I think a lot of people wrote the Grizz off too quickly (hard not to type “quickley” now) once Ja went down. They may have forgotten that whole time last season when Ja was out for a while and they went on a tear without him. (I think they did OK when Ja was out this season, too, but maybe in a less pronounced way.) Point being that they know how to win without Ja.

That said, I think the absence of Steven Adams (and to a lesser degree, Brandon Clarke) really makes them a lesser team, and I think the Lakers pull it out in the end. (Insert regular disclaimer here about LeBron’s and AD’s health.)

Lakers lost against a Xavier Tillman’s team? 😀

Lopez looks like he’s playing against middle schoolers out there. He can score in the paint as often as you can get him the ball there. Feels like a long time ago when he used to dominate teams in the paint

In reply to Downtown Doogie Brown.

The Bucks/Heat look like what the series would look like once the Bucks could actually game plan for not having Giannis.

As the gekko said after telling the couple that his tiny recliner on display at his yard sale was definitely not for sale and then getting the response “If it’s in the yard, then it’s…….for sale”………

“Here we go.”

BTW if you set the bar at overcoming all the teams ahead of us, why don’t you cherrypick a team to root for, since this one will likely not reach your expectations either for result or process for the forseeable future, except by what you would probably dumb luck if it did happen?

My guess is because you actually like being a troll.

“But that’s not what you’re doing. You’re creating an intentionally biased sample that creates a meaningless result.

We might have more picks than Milwaukee or Denver. But that’s bc they used their picks to get good already.

The key is we don’t have enough picks to overcome the teams ahead of us.”

Nah, you’re just trolling. But I’ll defer to Brian Windhorst. Why don’t you go troll him?

I tend to compare apples to apples.

But that’s not what you’re doing. You’re creating an intentionally biased sample that creates a meaningless result.

Looks like the Heat are going to be a similar playoff position to us; being blown out today after taking game one on the road.
