I thought that the east had the stronger top seeds and west had the stronger bottom seeds. Surprised that the top seeds in the east went 2-2. Hawks almost took Celtics to game 7. Bucks and Cavs fell easily. Heat just seem to have the Bucks' number in playoffs. Lakers and Warriors up 3-2 but it's still possible for all the top seeds in the west to advance.

Definitely more parity in the west. Didn't think there was in the east. The Heat have a history of upsetting the Bucks in the playoffs. And maybe the Cavs were just too young and unprepared for the playoffs.

Amazing that the Jimmy Butler practice story was even wilder in reality.

5 beating 4 isn't really a big upset. Yes the Bucks losing was a huge surprise, but lets be real. Giannis missed most of the series, and in game 5 he didn't have his jumper, which can happen to him on nights.

Also, its also the truth that the regular season is increasingly fake. If Lebron and AD were only allowed to play in 5/7 games in the series do the Lakers have as good of a chance? If Draymond isn't allowed to commit ticky tack fouls all over the place on defense do the Warriors? Like, I like his defense, but he's fouling out in minute 25 with that style in the regular season.

Normally, yes, 5 beating 4 isn't a big upset. I just thought there was more of a separation between Cavs/Suns and Knicks/Clippers this year. The Knicks had more of the regular season overachiever look to me. I'm just not sold on them.

The west had a lot of lower seeds with injury and other problems all year. They just looked more dangerous if any of them came together. But it's all fine in the west now.

The Dillon Brooks hate train is up there with LaVar Ball in terms of useless discussions.

if he continues to shoot the 3 poorly like the past 2 seasons, not sure how it would be a good deal. maybe if he was signed to be a bench player just for depth

probably going to end up as a PJ tucker clone

starting to look like the same old story in philly. embiid too injured/out of shape from being injured and harden starting to have too many of his bad playoff games to really be a contenter.

makes u wonder what 76ers history would look like had they instead kept jimmy a few years ago.

Jason Tatum's Celtics remind me of a guy I knew in college who was an alcoholic and coke head, but also was easily fluent in 8 languages. Like, everything is there for you, but you fuck it up mentally.

Harden has had 2 great games and 2 shitty games. The results have pretty much revolved around his play.

And what is with this dumb debate about coaches not calling timeout at the end of games. There are pros and cons for doing so.
