    The thing about this series is that Portland have been in the playoffs for a month. The Lakers have been coasting up until this point. Dame is currently the best player on the planet and feeling himself. Melo has accepted his lesser role and is thriving. McCollum is doing what he does fills the score sheet when Dame goes quiet. Nurkic is fully fit and way too much for a player like McGee to lockdown. Then they have Whiteside waiting to come in and swat everything. Don't get me wrong an 8th seed is usually coming into the playoffs having had to struggle for their place. But the Blazers are hardened and a much different proposition than had the Grizzlies made it through.

      Last season Portland made the Western Conference Finals and on paper this year's team is better.

              @mariner4life he apologised about 20x afterwards, he knew immediately what he'd done.

                  I have a good payday coming if Portland go all the way, though will likely cash out earlier. Ideally they beat LA, beat Houston, then I can cash out and watch Dallas (yes Dallas!) beat them in the WCF's.

                          I think Portland WILL beat the Lakers in the first round after they dust up the Grizzlies. They'll be battle hardened and have a ton of weapons in Dame, CJ, Melo and Nurkic. I certainly hope so anyway.

                                    I've never understood the hype around him. He's failed in the playoffs much more than he's succeeded

                                      PG stunk the house out.

                                      Mavs went on a scoring spree late in that 3rd quarter that sealed the game.

                                        A lot on the line for PG with this Clippers team. He needs to step up and get them at least to the conference finals.

                                        Otherwise the monkey on his back will become heavier. Playoff P needs to show himself.

                                          @barbarian he’ll hit back. Clippers lost their way offensively. I’m not a huge fan of Reggie Jackson and don’t like it when he’s in the lineup. Trez is well short of game fit. Landry turned down shots he would usually take when confident.

                                          Mavs offensively are very streaky (good). They can score in high volumes and when guys like Hardaway, DFS, Curry hit 3s, they are amazing to watch because Luka and Porzingas really spread the floor.
