Agreed. The Lakers are in for a dogfight against Portland, and I think the Rockets can hang with them if they get Westbrook back and Harden gets as hot as Lilliard is right now. The Clippers have a relatively easy road, at least until the WCF. I think Dallas is a tougher matchup than either Denver or Utah. But I'd say that the Lakers, Clippers, and maybe even Nuggets are all better than the Celtics. If the Celtics do get lucky and get to the Finals, they would likely have to get lucky again. But who knows? Maybe Portland and Dallas send shock waves throughout the bubble. No home court advantage makes it really hard to get momentum back in a series after you've lost it, and both Portland and Dallas have it right now. Tonight's POR-LAL game should be fun
