I think I have this chart right. Darker green is the 8, lighter is the 9



Any combo of two teams advancing is still possible (not all 8/9 combos though)

Eh. Suns bubble run was fun but the blazers will put up more of a fight before LA smothers them. When the other teams are trying as hard as they are the Suns will come back to earth

As a Blazer fan I distinctly remember the last time we ran into Anthony Davis in the playoffs and respectfully disagree

I'm not gonna pretend that the Blazers are the favorite by any means, but LeBron was also the first person ever to have a 20-15-15 postseason game so it's not like there's reasonable room for improvement in every facet of LA's game

Anyway this series is already amazing and even if Portland loses in 5 I'm very satisfied.

yeah 23 is nothing but a bare minimum for him, but in order for that to go up he's gonna need somebody else to play point and I dunno who that's gonna be. I think they need Rondo back more than I thought. Felt like Caruso did a pretty good job moving the ball around last night, Vogel might move things around to get him on the floor with Bron more tomorrow.

I'm still not clear who on the Blazers is supposed to be able to defend Lebron. Holding him to 23 is mind-boggling. Nothing needs to change in order for that number to go up.

Oh how quickly we forget ZACH COLLINS (edit: lol brolic)

Yeah y'all are right, Davis and Bron going for 51 on 44 shots is unlikely to happen again. Especially adding in KCP's 1 point on 9 shots. Just hoping that Portland can stop one of AD/LBJ a game and force the back end to beat em.

A team scored under like 115 on Portland, OF COURSE there's room for improvement. I was just saying that not everything went 100% wrong for LA in game 1.

I'm very bad when it comes to NBA contracts. I see that Brown was contracted through 2022 - will he still get paid for those years? Also w/r/t contracts on previous pages being identified as "3+1" or "2+1", is that the shorthand for contracted + option year(s)?
