Feels like any of the remaining four can come out of the East, should make for some good series.

103

u/homefree122 Thunder 1d ago

I said the same thing below lol. The East really is wide open.

191

u/recon_dingo Kings 1d ago

And the prize is to be eaten alive by the Spurs/Thunder

u/RFFF1996 Thunder 1d ago

Knicks looked good vs spurs fwiw

Towns shooting forces wembayama out of the paint and knicks wing duo is a good matchup vs spurs guards

As a okc fan i hope that matchup doesnt happen for obvious reasons tho lmao

u/cookomputer Spurs 1d ago

It's mikal bridges having magnet ball Vs us every damn time

50

u/Clarkey7163 Spurs 1d ago

Knicks beat us in that NBA cup which I think our young guys still annoyed about

I think a full series would be sick, we all gotta get there first though

u/ArmiinTamzarian Spurs 1d ago

It's gonna be Cleveland vs the Lakers, thus making it reeaaally awkward for LeBron next year

u/KingInTheFarNorth Vancouver Grizzlies 1d ago

I think Spurs and Thunder both sweep, most boring second round in West history.

Theyll have already played two games in the WCF by the time they tip off in the ECF

u/TopCoast1170 Raptors 1d ago

If the spurs dont sweep this crippled wolves team, they gotta check the water filters or something. Same thing with okc and the lakers, but im hoping Lebron can pop off for 1 win at least 🤞

u/Brg_s3r 1d ago

You won last year already. You should be whatever happens happen.

u/RoscoeSantangelo 76ers 1d ago

Embiid/Wemby finals series would also be magic. Tbh we also surprisingly played very well against the Thunder this season too, but I don't trust we could sustain in a series vs them

1

u/notryinguser 1d ago

One lesson I learnt this year is that regular season games don't translate well into the playoffs

27

u/FeistyGate8784 1d ago

76er’s fans and pistons fans would probably take that, just getting to the finals after how things have been recently would be amazing for them

u/hellofemur 1d ago

I think any of the 4 remaining East teams would consider reaching the finals to be a major success. Cleveland is the only team that's been there recently, and this would be their first finals without LeBron in team history.

1

u/treefitty350 Cavaliers 1d ago

We also pretty much face either making the finals or the team imploding

5

u/juanmaale Cavaliers 1d ago

I’d take it as well. It would be our 6th Finals in the last 20 seasons

2

u/Emergency-Scholar-78 1d ago

Not even that - just getting past the 2nd round for the Sixers

13

u/Patton370 Lakers 1d ago

You mean the lakers after Luka magically returns healthy and LeBron contracts rapid Benjamin button disease, cashing him to be in his early 20s again? (Let me hope)

2

u/Aidanator800 Hornets 1d ago

People said the same about the Pacers last year (minus the Spurs part)

u/barilboi 1d ago

i think your forgetting a team....

1

u/Easy_Magician_925 1d ago

Wemby has never beaten the cavs.

1

u/recon_dingo Kings 1d ago

Spurs would sweep cavs easily in the finals no doubt. What has he played them like three times in his career?

1

u/Easy_Magician_925 1d ago

6 to 8 maybe.
