Joel will come back for game 3, I think. Are there sports books that will take that action?

I want to thank the Raptors for playing poorly for the last month. Had they gone into the playoffs on that hot streak I don't think I could've handled their eventual choke job in game 1.

Even Warriors would have probably been, if not competitive, at least an interesting series but Houston is definitely the matchup nightmare on top of being a superior team.

Want to just remind everyone that Kevin Durant sucks and huffs farts and also Steph Curry is a constantly injured system point guard who is also bad, and also Draymond Green is over the hill and a headcase. Klay is cool though.

I'll do a Gone Fishin' thread once the playoffs actually start unless someone else wants to do it, although they haven't done Gone Fishin' pictures yet which is a bit scary.

Are there any updates on Curry and Kawhi? I seem to remember Wardell being ruled out for the 1st round. Any hints about Kawhi's status, or should we keep on assuming he's done for the year?

Really wish Utah had won last night to get homecourt but they were going to get stuck with OKC in the first round either way so I guess it doesn't change a ton in that respect. I think Utah was probably the better team this year on balance, especially once Rudy got healthy, but I really hate having to play against star players with tons of playoff experience like Russ and Playoff Paul George. Gun to my head I think I'd say OKC in 6 or 7 but should be a really good series

If the Wolves take more than one game off of the Rockets I'll get that Thibs picture in the OP as my avatar until at least the end of the playoffs and Lockback can choose the text. If they win the series (lol) I'll keep the avatar and stop bashing Thibs all the way through the offseason.

Raptors in 7 - Washington are hosed in the head but so are the Raptors en playoff so this goes on way too long. Celtics in 5 - Bucks are poorly coached, but have the talent advantage (due to injuries) so maybe they'll get a game. Heat in 6 - This one is really hard because the Sixers are so hot right now but I really can't seem to get away from the feeling that the Heat win this. Cavs in 5 - Sorry Public Works Project but I have very little faith in the Pacers ability to take advantage of the problems that the Cavs have right now. Rockets in 4 - I have a fantasy of the Timberwolves realizing they beat Denver by playing some defense at the end of the 4th and overtime and learning from that and running the Rockets off the threes and on offense Towns punking Capella off the court and Jim Rootbeer trying to appear nonchalant as possible as Butler just destroys him, but what will actually probably will happen is the Rockets rather easily run the 'wolves through. Warriors in 6 - Warriors and Spurs both shaky down the stretch. I think unless Leonard comes back though, the Warriors winning is inevitable. Blazers in 7 - Both these teams are good and evenly matched, so I'm lazily defaulting to homecourt. Pulling for my good friend Kibner's team to get the win though. OKC in 5 - Regular season matchups are usually not applicable in the playoffs, but they seem to have the most relevance in the first round and the Thunder have just had the Jazz's number this season. The Jazz are good so I think they'll avoid a sweep, but this was kind of worst case scenario for them.

This is a series that will probably come down to a handful of plays that could go either way.
