Every team with a .500 or better record made the playoffs; every team with a losing record left out.
Smart injury a killer for BOS. They still should defeat IND, but I think that's enough to rescind having them beat MIL in the 2nd round. He makes plays, provides energy and is their best defender. Maybe BOS rallies, Kyrie goes nuts, or Playoff Rozier returns. But looks like the decks clear for a MIL-TOR East final.
[Smelts over Buckaroos had been my East upset]
OKC 6th seed. Get POR who they swept this year. Much better than DEN who beat them I think all 4.
HOU @ 4. Get a tough UTA team that plays D. Then GSW next. Followed by DEN/OKC. Tough road. The Rubio/CPS matchup could be key. Also, Jingles play. Neither team has a deep bench.
Should be a good series. Winner gets GSW.
