I think a couple surprises could come up here. Rockets, Warriors, Pelicans and Jazz are my picks. The Pelicans have, sadly, become a much better team since Cousins went down.

Rockets in 4
Warriors/Spurs all depends on Kawhi and/or Curry. For now, assuming both are out, Warriors in 5
Blazers in 6
Jazz in 6

OKC go from possibly missing the playoffs to getting Utah in the first round. Welp, Jazz, here's your opportunity to impress. *sigh*

Again, context matters. All 4 games were December or earlier, and 2 of those losses were when the Jazz didn't have Gobert. The Jazz are far better now than they were in December as a team overall and are obviously much better with Gobert.

Unfortunately OKC are better now too.

Sure, but them Jazz got some nasty dudes. Adams is probably the best possible matchup for Gobert though.

On another note, I feel like the Dubs really lucked out with their side of the bracket. Of the teams that could actually give them some trouble, they'll only have to play 1 of them instead of 2 (OKC, Jazz, Houston).
