Series Thread: 3) Portland Trailblazers vs 6) OKC Thunder

[bksballer89]

Going with Thunder in 6

Would have went Portland with Nurkic healthy simply due to how poorly OKC been playing for quite a while now

 

[Hillbillyzombie]

OKC has had Portland's number this year but after the stat hunters remark on Dame saying “I’ve been busting that ass for years. For years.” I hope Portland can get this done in 5.

 

[Wishbone]

Yeah OKC swept this team so it's hard to go against OKC.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Injured Team with home court

versus

underachieving but more talented team that was mediocre for the 2nd half

Who Knows?

Thunder in 6.....meh..this one is impossible to pick.

 

[trojanfan12]

Horns is right, this one is tough.

Blazers aren't at full strength...but who the hell knows what to expect from OKC?

Imo, it's going to depend on which versions of Westbrook and PG show up.

PG has been known to come up fairly small in the playoffs and Westbrook has been known to forget he has teammates in the playoffs.

If those 2 versions show up, Blazers can win. If the good versions of Westbrook and PG show up, OKC could sweep.

Thunder in 6.

I also like Thunder in 6. PG will shine in this series and be too much for the Blazers.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Will Playoff P. get in the Thunder way? Will Westbrook brick the team out the series?

Thunder should win, but...

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Blazers in 7.

 

[thunderc]

Thunder in 6, no chance without Nurkic.

 

[Mecca]

Thunder in 6.

So why not predict a sweep

[thunderc]

So why not predict a sweep

Because I don’t think it will be a sweep?

Will always throw likes at Bill Murray references. The man is a national treasure.

 

[Wishbone]

Portland has been swept in the playoffs the last 2 seasons so theres that. Also Enis Kanter is going to get eaten up.
