Really rooting for Milwaukee Bucks this season.

They might be able to have that match against their bracket and in the finals. In west, I don't think GSW will be able to win now. Not just because I am not a fan anymore but because they are also having internal issues with the team. I saw Giannis as a great player ever since last season and I guess it is the best time to support him.

Tough path, yet a losing path for them no matter what angle you'll look at the warriors will still win the championship. . I think that is because of the drama between Draymond and Durant. That made the team under meeting the expectations. After all, it's a 5 man all star team so they'll pretty much dominate the no all star team, just teamwork.

They are professional players and whatever differences or internal issues they have, they will set that aside and talk about it on the off-season. Kevin Durant and Green are two players that want badly to win and this time they can make a history of a 3-peat that only few teams achieved. This will be their motivation going into the playoffs.

Usually professional athletes put their difference aside and focus on the goal at hand, which is to win championship again.

So I don't question Durant and Green at this point, this is playoffs and they are chasing a 3-peat which is very hard to do right now in the NBA. If they win, then they can talk all they want, if KD will leave then so be it. But as this point, KD could won another finals MVP and then another righ, enough for him to be really motivated.

Lol. Whatever issues they may be having, they'e still the top team in the west and would likely go on to the 2nd round pretty easily. 2nd round though may very well determine who the western champs will be since they'll likely go up against the rockets.

The current playoff bracket now does not allow the a repeat of the last year's western finals.
Most likely we will see the GSW vs the Rockets in the 2nd round, and probably OKC vs GSW in the western finals, or maybe spurs.
Sorry, I just don't see the DEN having a chance to advance in the western finals.

I think Giannis and his teamates already knew this, Playoffs is where their opponents will play their best and they should be ready, not only Giannis but also his team and his coach. I think Giannis will not choke here, I am not a fan of Milwaukee but I like how Giannis is playing right now. I am rooting for Denver Nuggets.

Ok since it's playoff time already, and Lakers is not on the mix, Departures of Luke Walton and Magic Johnson leave Lakers aimless. So I guess everyone should have seen this, as Lakers after acquiring Lebron James this season failed to reach the playoffs. So there's another rebuilding and I hope that this time, they will get the pieces together.

Aaaaaand Luke Walton is gone too. It has been talked that Tylue could be the next coach of Lakers but I doubt that is true, I think Lebron told his friends to make that a news so it would go around and Jeannie buss would hear about it and maybe even consider it.

Considering Magic stepped down and there is no one that replaced him yet it would be idiotic to hire a coach right now, you hire your managers first and if you have a good front office let them do the work afterwards. They require a basketball operations guy that will give them 365 7/24 instead of someone like Magic who would be just face of the organization, afterwards they need a new coach that has a system already built in that would help Lebron thrive on his last years.

He only has few years left in him, at max he can play 5 or 6 more years even if he doesn't get injured at all and with that in mind it would be insane to throw away his last years with another Kyri-Lebron-Tylue type of deal, that already happened, lets move beyond that now.
