Analysis 2026 First Round Opponent Watch

[Correct Crusader]

Unless the Blazers catch fire tbh.

I actually think the Blazers with Deni healthy would be pretty difficult. Got some hardy veterans and big athletic wings.

Unless Lillard came back and produced at a decent level they'd struggle to score against the Spurs. Wemby hasn't played in either matchup and Castle also didn't play in their NBA Cup win.

I feel the suns is the easiest of the 3 but somehow i want the warriors to avenge our losses to them during late 2010’s (2017 and 2018) or around those years.

 

[spurs3223]

All three are dangerous. The Warriors cuz of Steph, the Clippers cuz... they are winning a lot of games. And the Suns because they will likely be healthy and whole by the playoffs -- they've already far exceeded expectations despite being broken most of the year. Brooks is kinda the heart and soul there. But out of the three? I pick the Warriors. I'm betting against 4 epic performances from Curry.

if we play one of the LA teams in any round, im for sure going to catch at least one of those road playoff games. if we make the finals ima go to SA for the first time

Curry out for another 10 days. Their odds will drop

I said this before, and it's especially true now... I'm more afraid of those in the play-in range (GSW/PHX/LAC/POR) than the 3/4 seed (currently HOU and LAL)

They've got nothing to lose, and that makes them dangerous.

blazers in first round
Rockets in second
Lakers in wcf
Pistons in finals

Victory

 

[scott]

Fuck that. Give me:

Warriors in R1
Nuggets in SF
Thunder in WCF
Celtics in Finals

Beating the last 4 Champions in succession to win a chip would be the greatest playoff run of all time.
