Things that happened in the 1st games:
1. Harden carried the Rockets. Simple as that. Timberwolves had no answer for him offensively. Even Butler looked like crap defending him.
2. Lebron and the Cavs played better offensively than what the score showed. They missed a ton of open 3s early-ish. Oladipo was sick tho.
3. 76ers put up 130, without Embiid. That's a legit threat right now, but honestly could see them absolutely crumble in a series quickly. But when they're going, damn they are great.
4. Boston is crap without Irving, even tho they won. Couple of poor calls right at the end of that game (in OT) changed the outcome. Should have been a jump ball not a foul out on Yanis.
5. OKC, they could breeze through the first round with PG13 dealing.
6. Golden State will be in the WCF or out in this round. But the way the Spurs played/are playing, looks like GSW will be fine.
7. Pelicans/Blazers was a fun game to watch. I wish Boogie didn't go down, imagine this Pelicans team with Cousins still on it healthy?
8. Raptorssssssss. CJ Miles (or CJ Kilometers now) did what we brought him in to do...finally. Only negative for that game for me, turnovers. There were way too many. Way too many.
