feel bad for the Pelicans, not going to lie.
they really need to consider moving Zion in the summer. he's not worth the never-ending headache.

This Okc team is scary. How will we be able to handle shai, Williams, giddy and dort?

What a fantastic night.
NO is our kyptonite. Ingram, Zion, Jose, etc. Malone has never game-planned well against any of them. Alvarado would have been back by game 3, and Zion has been saying, physically, he's ready to go.
I do think we beat NO, but I also think it becomes a grueling 6 or 7 game series. With championship aspirations, we can't afford to start the playoffs with a mean series.
Tonight was the best night of the season, outside of defeating the Grizz in Ball a few months ago. I hope you guys are rejoicing as much as I am right now.

Ring and Jimi both have great records. My gut tells me jimi should start off, but I’m good with either. Of course - if we win the banner, jimi should be banned. And Lothar should be banned for not believing in superstitions. leader- gm thread- i had too much time tonight lol tapir - 26-10 *3–33 if sticky and freak wouldn’t get up and watch Ring - 9-3 Jack- (delete)- 6-6 sticky (suck ass) 3-0 Freakn (other fake goat) 5-5 GBG - 3-1 worst -tank mode MLK 1-4 Fixed

Celebrating that Pelicans loss big time! Ingram is tough to defend. He seems clutch overall. CJ can catch fire. Valevucians, butchered the spelling, is a great rebounder and can hit the 3. Zion? Definitely happy the Nuggets will avoid them. Pelicans were the 1 seed early on.

Just want to put this out there publicly: I don't care if you guys joke about banning each other, but I don't want to be a part of it. Please leave me out of this kind of comment. Fam - lighten up - it’s just silly humor Yeah, here's the thing: even though it is silly humor, I don't hear it that way (I have explained before that I'm autistic and that comes with some differences in processing and reacting to social situations) and I don't like it. I politely asked to be left out ... so what does it cost you to leave me out of it? What does it gain you to include me in it? There are plenty of people who you could include in the joke who don't mind or who would even appreciate it. Please keep me out of it.

Yeah, the Pels are such a wildcard that even though I think we're quite a bit better than them, I'd rather face some other team. They could have a couple of big games and suddenly make it into a 7-game series, and even if we win, I'd rather win in 5 vs a much weaker team and get more rest.

We have had some level of trouble with the pelicans, Okc and Minnesota this year.
None will be easy outs. No series goes less than 6
I think we will be favored but not by much against any of them
Edit: obviously not referring to New Orleans anymore

we played the Wolves on b2bs almost every time. I think some of the trouble we had was just the rest disadvantage. OKC we were pretty strong against. I'm happy with those being our first round matchups. Like there are no bad playoff teams in the west, but we could have had like 5-on-8 Lakers or the turn-it-on-in-the-postseason Warriors.

Such a fortune that we’re getting either minny or okc. I think minny will advance, but hopefully okc adbances.

Pretty sure we want the Wolves.
OKC the better matchup for Jokic but Wolves (without McDaniels) is better for Murray.
Jokic always owns Gobert anyway.
I am pretty sure it's the Wolves we want.

I have politely asked to ban jimi so many times - guess what? He never got banned. You guys even banned ME for a full week because you couldn’t handle me defending myself for nazi jokes

I dont want Wolves because the sport gods are f***ing evil and would love it for Wolves to beat Nuggets in round 1

Treat others as you want them to treat you. Lothar is known for not listening and respecting others requests and wishes (literally let Butterman harass me for years, when i had no power to stop it while also having some self respect left), but that doesnt mean you have to not listen or respect his wish of not being dragged into this bit

Usually said i asked for it by being the way i am. You could argue Lothar is asking for it by being the way he is. But now he is asking for us to ignore that and just respect his wish. I for one will respect that even tho i would have loved it if he did the same for me in the past. Maybe this could be the beginning of some changes.

Yeah I will stop with the Lothar jokes now BUT next time somebody goes at me or my brother Erik and ban me (this board was literally GONE if it wasn’t for my crazy activity on here around 2014-17, show some respect), I’ll be gone for good.

Still think OKC is the far easier matchup. Not having anyone to guard Jokic is such a big deal both in the post and on the offensive glass.
