    2017 NBA Playoffs: (3) Houston vs. (6) Oklahoma City

    God this should be awesome. The top two 2 MVP candidates in the first round. ABC should televise every game. I don't care if one is at 10PM on a Tuesday. Agents of Shield can wait its turn.

    Houston should win this. Not a guarantee, but they should. OKC is the most one man band the league has seen in decades, and Harden has a lot more firepower around him. This should be a lot of fun nontheless. Russ vs his old padawan is going to be a lot of fun. At least one of them is going to drop a 50-burger.

    Prediction: in 7

    It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

    Going to be the most entertaining series in the whole post-season, most likely. Gonna pick OKC in this one because Westbrook is just insane. Yes, Harden is too, but I think Westbrook wills OKC to an upset victory.
    It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.

      D'Antoni teams have had their struggles against size and a great player or two before.. I'm gonna go with my mancrush Westbrook on this one.
      OKC in 5

                  I think the record for points in a playoff game will be broken this year, with this series as a strong candidate.

                    in the 10 games westbrook has shot the least .. OKC has their highest winning percentage. he's not the mvp.

                    harden wins this series and the mvp

                      I don't feel strongly either way about who gets the MVP, but this is easily one of the worst arguments I've ever seen. The reason why they have such a high win percentage is because those games are lopsided blowouts and therefore there is no point in playing Westbrook heavy minutes or getting a ton of usage when the game is already in hand early...
                      Did you know Antonio and Dale aren’t actually brothers?

                        OKC in 6...think Russ will prevail against Harden or I at least want him to lol. Not sure if D'Antoni's system will work in playoffs.
                        "It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."

                          Houston in 6, best series of the first round.

                              OKC in 6. Westbrook goes nutzo-wacko. Harden doesn't.
