Can't see either of these teams losing.
Bucks are not a good team and Spurs are tough at home. Don't see anyone on the Bucks who can guard Aldridge down low. With Bledsoe in the starting lineup, I expect some growing pains for the Bucks. They should be competitive but won't have enough down the stretch. The toughest thing about bringing in a new PG like that is communication. I'm not expecting much in game 1 in SA.
No Adams tonight for OKC so should maybe get a bit more spacing with Patterson/Grant or someone else. Would normally be tough against a dominant center, but Deandre can't get his own shot off. You pretty much just need to box him out. He'll get his putbacks and what not. Blake Griffin should dominate offensively against Melo and Patterson and Grant. Melo should be able to pull him out of the paint though, and Westbrook attacking Lou Will and Austin Rivers all night is a nightmare for Doc Rivers. Expecting game to be pretty close but for the Thunder to close it out with Westbrook down the stretch. Paul George played hefty minutes last night, but luckily he doesn't have to guard anyone in this game. Wesley Johnson? Lol. Next.
