    Thanks to the Clippers beating San Antonio, OKC Thunder have now been eliminated for contention for the 5th spot.
    Memphis has clinched the 7 seed locking up a match up with the Spurs.

    This is the best we could have hoped for imo. This is the only team outside of the 8th seed where I feel like they'll win. I'm thinking 5 maybe 6 games at the most because OKC just isn't good. However, I don't see us beating anybody else because we severely lack bball iq, defensive intensity, and a variance in offensive gameplan. The better defensive teams will just run us off the 3pt line and we'll just Jack them up anyway while shooting a measly 20%. It's a new coach and a somewhat new system but I've seen this same sad story for too many years now to think anything will change. I'm definitely not getting my hopes up for round 2

    I enjoy watching Westbrook play but I see us winning 4-1. They're too easy to gameplan for and stop in a playoff series. And our bench will destroy their bench.

    I'm worried that Westbrook will go OFF in one of the first 2 games, and the series shifts to OKC tied 1-1. Then we have to face a very loud crowd and a possessed Westbrook in Game 3, and before you know it, we could be down 2-1

    Bev all over WB; hope Enes and Adams don't bully our bigs. I see us winning in 5 or 6. MVP's going to the next round
