LA will have zero problems winning the west. Although they have lost 8 out of their last 9 in the Rose Garden, the playoffs are totally different, and a young team will eventually come down to earth. And LA will have homecourt advantage, so even if it goes 7, it will be another Celtics/Atlanta series…In other words, Portland is still too young.
And I do agree with Atlanta being the sleeper team in the east, I love watching them…
And true that on the spurs in the odd…never count them out…
