Looks like Thunder will drop to 8th and face the W's.

PG will miss their last game in Milwaukee.

I guess the win against the Clippers was worth it. Knocked them into 1/8 vs. GSW.

GS vs Clippers might be the quickest sweep in NBA history unless the Warriors end up sleep walking.

If there is Warriors vs Thunder in the first round, that would probably be the series with the best ratings.

Yeah, that would not be enjoyable to watch. Clippers would be overwhelmed by the Warriors starting 5.

The Beatdown they got against the Warriors a couple of days ago is what we will see in the 1st round or even worse if the Warriors come out with a new mentality. But I don’t think the Clippers care about getting demolished, there goal was always getting a top FA this summer.

Unless Denver loses to Minny tonight, tie game at half - and we’d tie for 10th. Would be DEN /OKC

A lot of people here said Grayson Allen was trash... but he scored 23 against Sacramento and now he's over 30 against the Clippers in a meaningful game.

I mean, he shot 38/31/70 this season.

And I see that he brought his Duke referees to this game tonight, also.

Nuggets really improved their bracket.

Avoid Rockets/Ws until WCF.

Bad numbers but no worse than Lonzo, BI, DLO, Julius... during their first season.

He just made a bad play but he's gonna be a decent player.

Sure, Lonzo's shooting was awful, but you could see his impact in many other areas of the game besides shooting. Can we say the same for Grayson Allen? Who is an "old" rookie, by the way.

Yeah, of course Zo is better than Grayson... but people were acting like it was inconceivable his game could translate to the pros... but he looked pretty comfortable out there, albeit inefficient.

Can’t believe Houston choked and dropped to 4. OKC can beat Portland. Wanted PG to get swept in first round

He had a -7.5 BPM this season. Considering he was the 21st overall pick in a pretty loaded draft last season, I'd say the early returns have been pretty bad. Like, I think we reached for Wagner, but at least he was better than Allen, was picked later, and he's also younger.

Yeah, I saw his numbers... I just was watching for Zubac... and noticed he was on a career high.

We'll see if those two games were flukes or not.

Still sick about Zu...

Yeah I hear you. I'd favor OKC in that series, though Portland is a really tough place to play. Houston was going to have to go through the Warriors anyway; who knows, maybe getting them in the 2nd round will actually be better for them, in a weird way. The Lakers lost in the 2nd round in 2011, for example.
