    I mean this thread as more about who you want to win or fail, rather than who is favored or not.

    West
    Go OKC, Denver & Pelicans!
    Warriors, Lakers and Clippers I hope fail.

    EAST
    Go Cavs, Heat and Pacers!
    Bucks and 76ers I hope fail.

    Don’t care about the East.

    Timberpups are fun
    **** the Mavs. **** Dallas. The sooner that Luka trade request, the better. :D (Only for him to end up in OKC which leads me to…)
    **** the Thunder. Hope they lose in the first round. (“Go Thunder!” How could you Jim?)
    Lakers, Suns, Warriors … tick-tock mother****ers!

    I want the old guard out soon, so...
    Go Denver, Minnesota, and the Clippers.
    Down Lakers, Warriors, and the Suns.

    I like Giannis and Butler, but there are not many other players or teams out in the East.
    Go Bucks and the Heat.
    Down Celtics, Pacers, and the Knicks.

    In descending order of passion,

    Lakers lose
    Warriors lose
    Clippers lose
    Denver and OKC win
    Suns lose

    Don't really give a care about the Eastern Conference.

    I like how they have been patient in building a team the right way.

    I think Jokic is underrated. Hope he wins another one.
    Wouldn’t mind Thunder, Clippers or 76ers either.
    Do not want to see Lakers, Warriors, Celtics or Bucks have any success.

    It is a bit sad that in the east the 3rd and 4th seed will have an easier first round than the 1st and 2nd seed. I would not be surprised if the Bucks tanked that last game to avoid the Heat/76ers.

    I wonder if Denver did not forfeit it on purpose to avoid playing Warriors.

    Generally I like Denver. Joker is such a lovable dude and we would have winning record against the champs. If not Denver than I hope James finally gets his ring. East, I could not care less.

    Mavs look awesome right now. I could see them coming out of the West as a surprise team.

    I'd say OKC, but given their youth they're gonna be a problem for the Rockets for a long time.

    So I'll be rooting for the Clippers (because of Harden) and Bucks. Neither will make it out of the second round, probably.
