Pretty much cut and dry so far. Unless the Bucks losing is a surprise.

Orlando won three playoff games, their most since 2010.

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

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".

They advanced no further than the Vuvevic era, it was all for nothing.

You got self-owned and humiliated

You predicted Magic in 6.

Clippers losing in the first round shouldn't be a surprise.

Clippers and the Sixers have a lot in common.

Both don't seem to go further than the second round, at best.

Both trusted Harden. Both trusted Doc Rivers.

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. Smoke less.

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. Sad.

Yes. It certainly has.

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.
