Western Conference Playoffs - 1st Rd Discussion Thread

Anybody feels like the NBA is so much better than 7, 8 years ago when Golden State was crushing the entire league and teams were going ultra small ball? The NBA is much more exciting now in my opinion and more competitive.

Any league is always more interesting when you don’t know who will win; honestly, in those years you could pencil GSW into the Finals (and the Cavs as well). Doesn’t speak well of a league to have the same two teams matchup four straight years. Even in the Lakers/Celtics years of the 1980s, the 76ers, Rockets, Pistons, Blazers snuck in there.

Looks like this series could be over. Pels don't have enough.

But he's having trouble on defense. Which by far the biggest concern

OKC just has so many ways to hurt you. Feels like any of their main guys can go for 20 any given night but are also fine if their role calls for them to not get many shots on any given night too. Other than Shai. All solid two-way players, lots of size and length at every spot.
