I have a future with OKC but in a game 7 situation, Murray and Joker will be ready. Tough game for OKC.

All of these teams would be lucky to make it out of the 1st round many years ago
I just think Minnesota is going to make either team look silly in at least 2 of the games in WCF

One day BMR posters emphasize how bad injuries are this playoff season, and the next day this guy insinuates OKC or DEN is winning the championship after:
a) first playing an equally good and MUCH BETTER RESTED Timberwolves team,
and then (even if they get lucky to squeeze into the finals after 6-7 more thrilling games)
b) facing the fresh Pacers team who will have, by then, lose no more than 4 games total in these playoffs.

Ask Mitchell how it feels when you have issues dribbling the basketball past mid-court because each of your teammates, including you, is half a step slower than the opponent.

Minnesota is the reason Denver would not be a slam dunk, but I still think OKC at their best is the best team in the league. Guess we shall find out Sunday. But I do disagree with you, with no Tatum, I actually think the 3 West teams left are the 3 best teams remaining.

If you are betting Denver it’s ML or nothing. They have a great shot here. I hope not though.

Rest seemed to sure matter when the Warriors blew out the Timberwolves after a 7 game series — on the road against a team with Steph for just 13 minutes

Or when Denver went into OKC in Game 1 and won

Also how do you know Pacers are going to be in the finals? Is it a foregone conclusion?

OKC is a match up nightmare for Minnesota. Denver is definitely more flawed but I would take them over Minnesota and whoever comes out of the East

Minnesota would be down 3-2 if Steph played

They’re a solid team but a leg below OKC and behind Denver as well

Hard to compare eras but of course Kobe-Shaq Lakers and Jordan Bulls would wipe the floor with any team still in the playoffs today
2016-17 Warriors the best ever IMO

No disrespect to those teams

MJ is MJ

People don't get how good Shaq was. He was by far the best player in that duo.

That’s a Great Warriors team, and different eras so we can only fantasize, but let’s face it, Steph and Klay arent getting 3’s off with Jordan & Pippen locking them up. And Rodman would be able to cover KD as good ad anyone ever could. Dennis is also better than Draymond.
I say Chicago in 6 or 7 games
