“definitely the Thunder in that three-to-one range, it's just kind of crazy high assuming, you know, Russ is going to be missing games.”
Houston Rockets defeated Oklahoma City Thunder 4-3 in the 2020 NBA first-round playoff series. (Rockets def. Thunder 4-3 (Game 7: 104-102))
“I will definitely have a ton of interest in Portland, like plus two and a half series games. I think they can definitely win two games.”
Lakers defeated Trail Blazers 4-1 in the 2020 first-round series; Portland's 1 game + 2.5 = 3.5, still short of the Lakers' 4 wins, so the series-games spread did not cover. (Lakers def. Trail Blazers 4-1)
“So I think the Clippers are still the team to win it all.”
The LA Clippers were eliminated by the Denver Nuggets in the West semifinals (blowing a 3-1 series lead) and did not win the 2020 NBA Championship, which went to the Lakers over the Heat 4-2. (Clippers lost West semis 4-3 to Denver; Lakers won title 4-2 over Miami)
