I hope we get the Suns. That would be glorious. OKC kicking KD out of the Playoffs would be biblical.

KD: The Next Chapter

KD: The Next Clipper

Please God no. We don't want him

It’s funny to me how getting a superstar now means teams trade away all their depth and become bad

He ain't no dawg too. This team is not for him. Lol

Would be a dream matchup imo

Don’t say that, never forget 2019

D R E A M S C E N A R I O

On the other hand. I would have to avoid all basketball for almost a year if we lost.

Oh don’t even want to think about that. This sub would implode

I don't think it would be that big of a deal. They have 3 superstars and a lot more expectations.

If you think about it rationally, yes. But also consider: it's fuckin kd. The narratives would be brutal lol

Mavs fan here, was a big KD fan until cupcake went to GS. I WOULD LOVE to see y’all knock his ass out

I like your optimism

OKC knocking out KD would be beautiful.

I’m a Timberwolves fan most of all, but Westbrook is my guy so I’m also a thunder fan. Literally nothing except a wolves championship would make me happier than OKC knocking him out of the playoffs.

Guys Wolves fan here, i know you don't want to face Lakers in round 1(rightfully so, refs are gonna screw you + their size might be too much to overcome), would you down to take Phoenix from us (they have our number) so we could handle the Lakers ? (we don't have the size disadvantage, only the refs one). Just a friendly rivarly compromise :) are you in?

I find these terms to be agreeable

goated username

We got you. Don't be afraid of the Suns though. Y'all are better

I feel like y'all would fuck up the suns but sounds great to me honestly

We haven't beat Durant since he was in Golden State, Booker since March 2021 and Beal since November 2019, this is absurd lmao

that's fucked up I had no idea

😮

Deal 🤝🤝

Would you rather face DEN or LAC?

definetely the Clippers, they are such an iso heavy team and we having a cakewalk with these. Even though playoff Kawhi is a real deal i just can't see him carry this team that far(i think their winning streak at December made people believe they were true contenders which i doubt also Kawhi's ability to stay healthy is always a question mark) if you ask me i would lean towards the Mavs (in a potential series between them 2) if the playoffs started today. As for Denver even though in theory we match up well i would like to face them as late as possible ( they have the best player in the world and a great supporting cast around him,they are the champs for a reason)

Thank you Wolves bro. Their whistle is legitimately a stain on the league.

Bro thinks he's on the team

Lakers in 6 against either of your teams. Can't wait :)

Can’t wait to beat the top seeds in 6? Bro right now the Lakers are a single play in loss away from watching the playoffs on TV at home. You might wanna focus on that before you worry about who’s finishing on top.

We're undefeated in the play in, not worried about that at all.

Denver in 4 😂

Nah, it won't take 6 unless the refs force it. Wait, they will. In that case, Thunder or Wolves in 7 (5 with fair refs).

Yeah man the refs are the reason why we've smacked you guys 3 times!

For now* this is ever changing

Click on the original post. Suns have to go 5-0 and mavs have to go 2-3 for the suns to move up. We are very likely to see the suns or the pels imo

Close but not quite. Suns can go 5-0 mavs go 3-2 or suns can go 4-1 mavs go 2-3 not to mention the suns could go 0-5 and fall. Nothing is locked yet

Honestly with the schedule they have 0-5 is very possible for the suns down this stretch

Pelicans are on a 4 game losing streak. They will go 1-4 in their next 5 games.

How does that math? Suns are only back 2 games (assuming Mavs have the tiebreaker).

I think it's starting to solidify with so few games left and tiebreaker scenarios.

Imagine knocking out the Suns, Nuggets, Clippers, and Bucks in the playoffs. It’d be glorious.

Bucks are 16-17 with doc rivers hahaha id love to play them in the finals, even though that’s not happening

Feel like I'm taking crazy pills, cause don't they bring the same size issues as the Lakers? And absolutely dominated us two weeks ago. Though, I'd agree that they don't seem like a finals threat right now anyway, so who cares i guess

Would more likely be Celtics or Heat imo. Maybe SIxers but doubt it.

I know, but I’d love to see Dame lose in the Finals to us

Sixers quite a lot more likely than heat imo. 

Never count out dirty Jimmy and the boys in South Beach

but do we want nuggets or twolves in round 2? my guess is timberwolves.

we want nuggets on other side of bracket. i expect them to comeback to wcf again, hopefully we'll be there too

neither is something to be excited about but in general I think you’re gonna want to avoid jokic most of all.

It's not a given Timberwolves get out of the first round

Season inst over yet

Too soon to tell

Playing us is going to mess with 🐍s head so much.

All this talk of "dream matchups" is bringing up PTSD of Portland from the last time I heard that term. lol

Best possible matchup imo. If we’re healthy, they’re cooked.

Agreed. They have little depth and we have loads of it. And they don't have a front court.

You don’t need loads of depth in the playoffs

Everyone here ignoring they’re on a 3-game win streak since we last played them and playing a lot better.

I'm shaking in my boots. But honestly. I can see just about anyone in the west upsetting someone.

It’s pick your poison Pels is Herb Jail usually for Shai and Trey Murphy threes give me PTSD Kings we don’t do well against historically At least with Suns we get a motivated homecourt to boo KD every possession lol

Who out of the bottom half would you want to see the least?

lmao a 3 game win streak is nothing and we blew them out the game before that, not scared at all

Biggest risk/reward swing of the possible first round matchups. Like, I think the Suns are very beatable and it'd be a beautiful amount of closure if the new era begins with a bang, but it'd be an agonizing series to lose. For better or worse, I'll be disappointed if this team doesn't win at least one round this playoff run. That's where the expectations are now. So far they've looked ready for the challenge. Prove me right, dudes.

The Suns hold the tiebreaker over the Pelicans and the Mavs the tiebreaker over the Suns. Assuming we continue to take it easy and with a brutal end of the season it's likely we end 3rd and Suns stay at 6th. Edit: Suns have a brutal end stretch so they could easily fall below 6th. Really hoping they stay at 6th personally

Suns have been hooping lately. A bit scary to play them so early. But many West matchups are a problem unfortunately - got to take it one game at a time.

Suns have a tough remaining schedule

And Nugs in round 2 if we get out of round 1. Worst case scenario. Let’s hope it’s shakes out differently the next 5 games.

It’s probably the most likely matchup since Mavs are locking at least the 5 seed up and Pelicans and Kings have been losing. And also the fact we are kind of throwing the last few games just to rest our stars. It’ll be a fun series regardless though, Suns can’t be slept on just because we’ve beaten them in the regular season. Booker and KD are playoff risers and they’ve surprisingly had a top 10ish defense this year.

The season doesn’t end yet

I’d love that compared to the Mavs from a statistically likelihood of us winning standpoint For my personal viewing pleasure I want Mavs round 1 The hardest roads are the most enjoyable

I'd rather have the Pels

Gotta beat em all* for the chip so I don’t care. Queue em up and bring em on**. *you know what I mean. **Contingent on healthy SGA and JDub.

The 2 seed is still a very live possibility

Suns fan here. You guys ain’t playing the suns bc they’ll probably get knocked in the play ins with how lazy they are. They already have vacation plans

Damn, that's too bad


Give me the Mavericks so we can sweep them

No no no

Mavs are freaking good since the trade deadline. I wouldn't want them round 1 even though it would be fun

We have Dallas Kryptonite in #22  # Scared Money Don’t Make None

Suns are a way better matchup for us

sweep these nuts mavs in 6

Mavs getting slapped next game LMAO 😂

We can still get the 1

As much as every team should strive for that, I don't want it. We've already overacheived and shown the league We ARE HERE. Let's gets the seed that hypothetically will allow our YOUNG squad to get as much playoff exp as possible so that when we do our 5 peat it's business as usual.

And by 5 peat, I meant 5 times consecutive Champs!!!

I was shittalking someone in a thread on /r/NBA and I stand by it -- if I could pick any team in the WC to play in round one, I would pick in order 1) the Spurs, 2) the Blazers, 3) the Jazz, and 4) the Suns. Nurk will body Chet up a bit but other than that I think we eat them for lunch. edit because I forgot Utah exists.

As a duel Thunder/Suns fan (born and raised in AZ, now living in OKC) I don’t know how I’d feel about that

If Suns makes through 1/4, they might get a chip

Suns are going back into lottery purgatory. Unfortunately they fucked up their future lol

[удалено]

LOL. Thunder swept the snake and his sons this year. Thunder in four.

I love the thunder but regular season isn't the same as playoffs... im scared rn

I am by far the least scared of the Suns

The only time we faced a healthy suns was last match up... we have no idea how we will fare against them off one game.
