Any playoff surprises yet.
Pretty much cut and dry so far. Unless the Bucks losing is a surprise.

I’ll admit I slept on the Wolves. But damn, that’s a team.

Re: Any playoff surprises yet.
I underrated Minnesota and overrated Phoenix a lot. Philly as well to a smaller degree.
Everything else was more or less what I personally expected (Boston/OKC crush, the Bucks fading fast, the Clippers choking...again, HCA dominant series for Cavs/Magic, etc...).
I thought the Philly/NY series was 50/50, but that it would be a good, calculated risk to take in the various contests, as I assumed most would take NY...sort of a sniper shot to gain points relative to others. But that didn't turn out at all (fuck you Embiid!).

Nope. You claimed all year that the Magic were vastly improved and this is "their year".elartman1973 wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2024 11:07 am Nah..everything I assume and predicted before the season even started
They advanced no further than the Vuvevic era, it was all for nothing.

Clippers and the Sixers have a lot in common.Havlicekstealsit wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2024 2:46 pm Clippers losing in the first round shouldn't be a surprise.
Both don't seem to go further than the second round, at best.
Both trusted Harden. Both trusted Doc Rivers.

Re: Any playoff surprises yet.
I literally quoted the post when you said it would be a repeat of their 2009 series. Orlando won 4-2 in 2009. That's you saying Orlando in 6.

Clearly trolling after going down 0-2

I said cavs in 6 or 7 well before the start of the series.
You're quoting shit talk after two games.

You made your prediction before the series in that thread. The fact you don't recall that from just a couple ago is embarrassing. You were wrong and won't own it.

Even Jokic who you would assume you be a lock to make the conference finals is down 2-0 to a team led by a younger star in Anthony Edwards.
