I originally typed "leaning towards" OKC. But I have been riding Memphis all season so I think I'm used to their fringe playoff ability. I've watched one Thunder game this year. OKC has an up and coming SGA, current all star Chris Paul, and Steven Adams. It's not that shocking of a season IMHO.

Disregard my first post. I'm going with Memphis.
No love for Dallas?

Too many good choices. I chose poorly because I didn't look over the choices and think about it enough. It's probably the Mavs or OKC. I thought OKC would be garbage but now they're turning into the team nobody want to face in the playoffs.

I'd love to see a Houston/OKC first round matchup. I think it would be a blood bath.

Not me personally, but no one outside of Miami thought this Heat team would be this good...

They were literally who I was going to pick but despite losing Kawhi they did win a championship last year.

Shocking to some. I like OKC because they were supposed to trend down this year with Oklahoma being the ultimate graveyard of Chris Paul’s career while guys like Nilo & SGA were supposed to be part of what made up the losing end of that George trade. Schroeder outplaying himself, Adams big dick energy. This wasn’t supposed to happen, while Memphis’ youth movement was at least eventually gonna trend up with this group. If not for Nick Nurse, Donovan would be getting a lot more COY love than what he’s gotten.

Didn't @FPL predict OKC to make the playoffs and everyone laughed at him?

Mavs. I figured Luka was going to get better but goddamn he's only 20.

I don't think a 7 seed is exceeding many expectations. Luka surely is though.
From a lottery team to a 7th seed is a big improvement.

Maybe. But that vato’s always posting crazy shit like that in hopes one of them finally sticks. Looks like he finally landed one.

The Sixers. Tons of injuries have grinded this team down to the bones of its roster yet we still hold a playoff spot. Brett Brown should be given a statue for his heroism.

I voted Memphis.
