Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 3485107, member: 1674"] I think all of this is probably correct, though I remain very nervous about my Bucks with the way they've played in the bubble for the most part. Certainly trending up right now though, and I don't think Miami is the nightmare matchup for us that the media seems to think. Still can easily lose the series if we play the way we've played most of the bubble, but I gotta imagine the strategy will be to have Bledsoe and Wes continue to fight over screens against Dragic/Duncan/Herro, put Middleton on Butler and hope he avoids fouling, and hope the drop zone results in a lot of open shot opportunities for Bam rather than their actual shooters. I expect the Clippers to hold on to win the series, but I've been pretty surprised with how little they've been able to do to slow Luka down. You would have thought the Clippers were pretty much perfectly set up to try to make life difficult for him but they haven't affected him at all. Dallas will be really scary in the future if they can get a second playmaker to pair with Luka and Porzingis. Utah is really dangerous if Mitchell continues to play the way he has. It's a shame they don't have Bogdanovic healthy; I think they could give most teams in the West a run for their money if they did. Still might be a frisky matchup for the Clippers though I gotta imagine Mitchell will return to Earth at some point. Definitely rooting for OKC to beat Houston, but you're right, I really can't imagine how OKC would beat the Lakers. I guess they'd just have to pray Adams can slow Davis down without Gallo getting pushed around by whoever their center is but that's gonna be a really tough matchup for OKC to pull off. I think LA probably makes relatively quick work of Houston too, but there's always a chance for weird to happen with Houston's playstyle. And I concur with all that about Toronto-Boston. Should be a great series and it's one that I could see going either way. [/QUOTE]
