Don't care who, don't care when. Line 'em up, knock 'em down. There's no way around it: If you want to hold the Larry O'B, you've gotta beat a few really good teams. Hoping for the easiest possible path to a title is the p*ssy way.
Warriors having the easiest road the WCF in the history of the NBA. If they make it to the finals they will also play the easiest opponent from the east since lebron left the Cavs the first time. I want a championship, and the easier the road the better chance of winning.
I think Utah is the better team but I would rather play them. I like the history aspect and I dont want to hear the media slobbering over OKC during the series
I want the Jazz. Their offense is pretty one-dimensional and I'm confident that our wing D will give Mitchell fits. We took care of business against them in the regular season. If Ryno is hitting his shots, we'll run him at the 5, pull Gobert out of the paint, and the series will be over in 4. If not, we'll still take care of them in no more than 6 games, just too much fire power for them to deal with. Plus, a first round exit would be the nudge needed to force PG13 out of OKC, and would be an indictment on Russ' ability to lead a team anywhere meaningful (yeah I'm still bitter about last year's MVP).
Not crazy about getting the Jazz, but definitely don't want the Thunder. It seems like they are ALWAYS our playoff opponent, really tired of seeing them. Also, Westbrook is a nut and could go ballistic, and I don't want to see Corey Brewer again this season. He is like on every team we play.
We will beat both, but we will have a much easier time beating OKC. Jazz will play tough and are much bigger. The more we can avoid big bigs, the better. OKC takes horrible shots. All the time. And OKC is closer to travel, so they will be well rested after a 5 game series
I don't care which team wins, as long as they go to 7 games and beat the crap out of each other first. So if the Jazz are up, I'll be rooting for OKC, and vice versa.
IF we make it to the next Rd I’d prefer the jass. I think they’d be the easier matchup but more importantly it would just feel a lot sweeter knocking them out of the playoffs.
