Yeah, but they're still depending on playoff Harden. He had tendency to gas out in the post-season.

Isn't "playoff Harden" something his opponents usually hope for?

the nets had Harden, KD and Kyrie for like 8 games

So first round: LAL vs Minny! Go Wolves! Routing for DDV and Randle to upset the Lakers!
Also, GSW vs Houston gonna be an exciting series!
I hope OKC puts down Memphis and that punk Ja in 4 games.

Lakers and Warriors ill get a lot of whistles in their first round match ups and beyond.

So in the West are the 5-6-7 teams going to upset the 2-3-4 teams?

#6 (Minny) defeated 3 (LAL)
#7 (GSW) defeated 2 (Houston)
#4 former champs (Denver) advance

Which of these three have the best chance at knocking out OKC?

This GSW vs Minny series may be the best to watch in this next round.

Denver back up on OKC 2-1
It's possible that none of the West's top 3 teams survive to the WCF
For that matter, both 1 & 2 can be elminated in the East as well, leaving the Knicks as the top regular season team to make it to the conference finals. Not that that means much, as we're seeing, but still totally wild. This playoff season is a total Free-for-all!

I had voted Minny, and they are still alive and a possible winner out of the West.
How awesome would it be for the Knicks to meet Randle and DDV in the NBA Finals?!

Parity is causing this particularly out west. So few games separated them its barley an upset.
Indy finished the season on a very strong in their last 50 or so games that would have yielded a 58 win season
