    Re: Western Conference 1st Round Games Discussion Thread

    Like choosing between two of my kids. Been a Grizzlies fan for years, even though Portland’s my squad. I have to be realistic though.

    As much as I’ve loved watching LeBron in the post season over the past decades, I see him being older and it’s not the same. I just wanna see a good series. I think Grizzlies in 5, maybe 6.

      If they just get a healthy Chet Holmgen back that can block shots and disrupt shots with his length. That's huge. And then I think they have a lotto pick in this years draft too. And it won't surprise me at all if Presti hits on another good pick.

      So yea things have to fall into place obviously. But you can appreciate what they are doing. There is a solid foundation.

      Hot take. 3 to 4 years from now. People will say PG was a great player. But OKC won that trade hands down.

      Chet isn't only going to block shots. He definitely going to get his share of one on one with their 5 Out offense. No bigs can stay in front of him.


      That won't be fair vs most of the 5 in the league. Even Rudy Gobert would have problems with that.

      Did you hear CJ's press conference when he talked about availability, preparation and having the right type of diet? He said that applies to players 1-15, but we know the deal.

      Honestly, I don't see Zion having a long NBA career unless he can somehow transform his body and get his heath right.
      We obviously know it's a mental thing. I think all players go through the same process.

      But I think he's going to get this fixed. Embiid did. Tons of players have. I mean think about CJ for a minute here. He was hurt the first few years in the league (if I remember correctly)

      Comments have been extra funny recent on the topic of injuried players. I laughed a little too hard at a Ben Simmons comment/joke the other day. I think it had to do with DeMar DeRozan daughter being more effective [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787]

      Even thinking BI. He's had his fare share of injury problems. How many he missed this year like 20-30 games? Come to think about it. I don't think they have played many games together (Zion and BI)

      I mean look at Chet. This ain't no 360 dunk. But he likes like he could play in my opinion. https://twitter.com/TheHoopHerald/st...hfXpMu99Q&s=19

        I guess he was never approved to play
        New Orleans vice president of basketball operations David Griffin said Friday that star Zion Williamson was not medically cleared to play in Wednesday's play-in game.

            Wolves went with NAW instead of Kyle Anderson to start.

              I wanna say Minnesota has too much size. But I think OKC is gonna give them a run for their money.

                It's how they control SGA and the 3 point line. OKC has no answer KAT.

                    Yep OKC will play better in the 2nd half. Only down 10 ay half and they played terribly. They are in a good spot.

                          It's really obvious the Thunder are just too small. Especially covering KAT.

                                What's crazy is OKC has actually slightly won the rebound battle tonight so far. OKC just can't make shots. One of those nights.
