2020-21 KTR Playoffs

[Laimbeer40]

EASTERN CONFERENCE

#1 Brooklyn vs #8 Toronto, 7-2 (No surprise here just complete domination)
#2 New York vs #7 Orlando, 7.5-1.5 (Knicks depth wins out. Magic couldn't regroup when Dame & Myles went down)
#3 Indiana vs #6 Atlanta, 5-4 (Unlikely hero Kevin Huerter and an additional 7 GP pushes the Hawks to the upset)
#4 Detroit vs #5 Chicago, 5-4 (Even one game from Kelly Oubre could have pushed DET over the top but LaVine & Butler were too much)

WESTERN CONFERENCE

#1 Utah vs #8 Phoenix, 6-3 (An 11 GP advantage did the trick. Suns maybe shouldn't keep 2 players rostered that are overseas)
#2 Denver vs #7 Houston, 6-3 (Big upset here decided by one block and .001 FT%)
#3 Minnesota vs #6 LA Lakers, 7-2 (Luka absolutely feasted this week. Lakers had no chance)
#4 Oklahoma City vs #5 Sacramento, 6-3 (De'Aaron Fox playing well is expected but who saw Kelly Olynyk being a force?)

2ND ROUND

#1 Brooklyn vs #5 Chicago, 7-2 (Nets waltz easily into the next round. But will injuries start to catch up to them?)
#2 New York vs #6 Atlanta, 6-3 (Lackluster week for NYK but fortunately for them ATL was lacklusterer)

#1 Utah vs #5 Sacramento, 6-3 (Closer than expected. Utah's 3 additional starts may have been the difference)
#3 Minnesota vs #7 Houston, 4.5-4.5 (Higher seed advances on a tie. HOU was not efficient from the field and that was the difference)

CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS

#1 Brooklyn vs #2 New York, 5-4 (Knicks no slouch but this has to be considered an upset. Bryn Forbes' 14 threes put NYK over the top)

#1 Utah vs #3 Minnesota, 5-4 (Another mild upset. MIN got 6 more GP and Luka was a beast. Tough to overcome that)

2020-21 Finals

#2 New York vs #3 Minnesota, 7-2 (This was a one-sided affair. Just way too much Luka for the Knicks to keep up)

Vegas Odds
NYK -130
MIN +110

Finals MVP: Luka Doncic, MIN

I like my chances in LOR2, and I hate my chances in KTR. Fml. Tons of injuries, but even without injuries I’m outmatched this week.

Houston should consider themselves lucky.... I was ready to raise hell in the 7/10 play-in game

If anyone knocks off the #1 seeds I will be shocked.

You mean I don't get to be the 3 seed because I won our division with a .500 record?
