What would it be like for Rocket to win it all this year and realize that they never get to beat Warriors? As a Warrior fan, who would you have rather win it all this year?

Dray needs to hit the lab and stay there until he learns own to make a 3. The extra Klutch shit isn't it .

Yeah, that's why I hedged my words. Frankly, all anyone needs to do is put the clamps on Giannis and the Bucks grind to a halt (kinda like if LeBron were to get injured, it's lights out for the Lakers). There's just very, very few guys who can stymie the Freak. I also think they got valuable playoff experience last year, but we'll see if they've made that 2014-15 Warriors-level jump or not.

Im not drinking it! But I will also admit I don't watch them much..its kinda like we already know you are dominate regular season team it doesn't mean much too me. I think there is a lot of pressure on them to at the very least come out of the East.

Tasty tasty kool aid... purple drank level

I've honestly had doubts about the Clippers for a while for a few reasons. Main playmakers? They got a lot of average ones. Team fit? Chemistry? Varied offense? It seems like they went all-in on defending LeBron and kinda forgot other positions. Honestly, the most complete team in the NBA is the Bucks. They've got it all: shooting, playmaking, driving/slashing, interior defense, wing defense, etc. If Giannis learned from last year and doesn't get shut down I think they're going to go all the way. Not sure how I feel about that, since I really have drunk the Warriors/Giannis Kool-Aid. Ah well. Let's see.

Should get it out Thursday

Paul Pierce... 100, man. I actually cringe when I hear him speak. Crikey. Great pod, btw!

Love the podcasts everytime. Can't wait to for part 2. Next week? Or later this week? And love the contract conversation. Never thought of a dark horse bad contract 🤣

Paradox

Playoff Kawhi somehow makes like every low arc 3 pt shot and gets a crap ton of whistles. I wonder how his body will hold up. Watch the Lakers get a ton of free throws... I have a feeling the league executives will work real hard to get the Lakers the ring and then advertise it as tribute to Kobe. I want them to lose way more than even the Rockets, who I can see imploding because of Westbrook's playoff hero ball sheenanigans. Or fun scenario, OKC Thunder somehow takes it all leading to the most unpredictable championship ever. That would fck up the Clippers organization.

The stakes are so high for all these west contenders. I’m going to enjoy someone being disappointed very early 😀

I'm starting to think that the rockets would beat the clippers in the playoffs. Both teams play without a real center, but the clippers take too many hard midrange shots and have almost 0 playmaking. Also the Clippers' perimeter defense is kind of overrated, I can see them getting exposed.
