![]() ![]() taking minutes from Jordan Poole thing is going to work out in the locker room. I just don’t know how the Wiggins thing, and the Gary Payton Jr. Lakers don’t have one elite three-point shooter on the team.” On Suns/Warriors Western Conference Finals: “This is epic, I don’t even know who I like. ![]() They don’t have the depth of players and eventually the Warriors throw too many bodies and too many three-point shooters. You’re going to need LeBron to play 40 minutes in these games. Austin Reaves against Payton, Poole, Klay… they’re going to throw so many bodies. ![]() They’re a better defensive team than Denver, they’re equal offensively, so I’d take the Suns.” On Warriors/Lakers Second Round: “This won’t be close. People forget how good of a defender Kevin Durant is. When KD plays they allow 105 points per game, that’s the number one scoring defense in the league. LeBron is 14-1 for his career in the first round.” On Suns/Nuggets Second Round: “This is going to be a good series. The Grizzlies are the second-youngest team in the playoffs. Officiating will be a factor in this series because the Warriors need to get throwing around bodies to win.” On Lakers/Grizzlies First Round: “Go either way, I’d probably take the Lakers. Sacramento probably wins the opener, but I get the better coach, the better roster, and more experience. The Warriors’ issue is how many minutes do you get from Wiggins, and Payton. Phoenix wins convincibly.” On Kings/Warriors First Round: “It will be feisty but you’re talking about a team who never gets to the playoffs, and one that gets there every year. Suns are 8-0 with KD, he’s exactly what they needed- length defensively, a shot maker who doesn’t need the ball in his hands. If they had Paul George it’s a different series and I think it goes seven. I feel like Milwaukee just has a guy or two more that can hit a basket.” Key Predictions in the West: On Suns/Clippers First Round: “I don’t think it’s a great matchup for the Clippers. The winner of this series wins the NBA championship. Giannis averaged 29 a game against Boston, but they held out Robert Williams a lot this year, they bubble-wrapped him to get him healthy for the playoffs. That’s a real question because playoff basketball is more physical and it’s more physically demanding. I like Boston a lot.” On Bucks/Celtics Eastern Conference Finals: “I think Boston matches up pretty well with them if Robert Williams is healthy. They can both hit their free throws late, they’ll both defend, I kind of know what I’m getting. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are the high-scoring duo in the NBA. The only game they didn’t beat Philadelphia is when Jaylen Brown and Robert Williams didn’t play. Cavs got too many buckets.” On 76ers/Celtics Second Round: “Boston dominated them in the regular season. The Knicks are allowing 13 made threes a game, and the Cavs can shoot the three, top 12 in the league. I just think ‘buckets’, and the Cavs can shoot the three, and they can drive and score. Key Predictions in the East: On Cavaliers/Knicks First Round: “Julius Randle may miss the start of that series.
