In the much stronger West: Golden State Warriors, 57-25 vs. the New Orleans Pelicans 45-37; the Portland Trailblazers, 57-31 vs. the Memphis Grizzlies, 55-27; the Houston Rockets, 57-26 vs. the Dallas Mavericks, 50-32; and the defending champions San Antonio Spurs, 55-27 vs. the Los Angeles Clippers, 57-26.
Big surprise is the Oklahoma Thunder didn’t make the playoffs.
The results: Golden State sweep New Orleans, Memphis 3-0 over Portland, Houston 3-1 over Dallas, and San Antonio and Los Angeles tied 2-2.
Games will resume this weekend.
My predictions. Cleveland, Chicago, and Atlanta will join Washington. Then it will be Atlanta vs. Washington; and Cleveland vs. Chicago.
In the West: Memphis, Houston and San Antonio will join Golden State. Who plays who is not known because of the records being the same? The Clippers just may upset the Spurs.
