I'm guessing that OKC, Denver, Phoenix, and Dallas advance. It's a shame we didn't get to see a Sacramento vs. OKC series. That would have been a much more exciting match-up. New Orleans had our number all year but they haven't been able to sustain that level of success against anyone else in the West.

I think I am at this so I voted two upsets even though I think those two upsets may only be upset on a chalk bracket.

The Suns traded for KD and Beal, putting themselves so deep in cap hell that salary cap Hitler is looking down at them and traded every single one of their assets to get unceremoniously curbstomped like they were still the CP3 squad against the Mavs.

You can still delete this post lol
I stand on business.

I will never forecast a win for a team with Big Sawfty on it. Not never. Minnesota could be up 3-0 in the Finals, with a 29-point lead in Game 4, with less than a minute to go, and I will still believe that they'll find a way to flush it down the toilet. That's how much disdain I have for Towns.

LOL Mavs had every single thing in their favor (hottest team in the league since the trade deadline, Clippers missing one of the best postseason players of all time) and still took home the L anyways.

Chet’s like got a half foot on Nance on the jump ball. Not sure I’d burn my challenge here if I was OKC. Especially since it looks like Chet hit the ball last.
