Which top 2 seeds in the playoffs are likely to lose?

In the EAST you have ATLANTA, and CLEVELAND,likely to play Brooklyn, Boston or Miami.

In the West you have GS, HOUSTON, likely to play Dallas, OKC, New Orleans.

Me personally I think Houston will lose to Dallas. I don't think GS is as good as their record, but they'll get by OKC, would struggle more with New Orleans. Atlanta like GS isn't as good as their record but they can beat Boston, although I think Indiana gives them problems.

Cleveland won't lose. Stacked ass team

Houston can't depend on James Harden in the playofss

It's gotta be either Houston/Memphis whoever gets the 2 seed. But yeah i would probably pick Dallas over Houston as well for the simple fact that i still don't trust Harden in the postseason. I think his Mvp regular season is just fool's gold and he's bound to disappoint. Who knows maybe he'll prove me wrong.

There's 0 chance that Gsw, Hawks or Cavs lose in the 1st round. And LOL at the comment of the Pacers giving the Hawks problems, the Pacers barely beat them in a series last year and since then they've both went in complete opposite directions.

If any upsets happen its probably in the West. East talent disparity is just too great.

The only one I can see is the Mavs upsetting the Rockets.

Atlanta by a mile.. they've been playing their starters a ton of minutes from the onset i believe.. that kind of mileage is bound to catch up to a young team.

Not only is Dallas going to beat Houston, but Houston only wins 1 game.

Why didn't you put that in the OP?

You answered your own question.

[noob cake]

Wait, have people accepted that the Rockets are making the playoffs as the 2nd instead of being the 8th seed or missing the playoffs all together?

We've actually rested our starters more than almost any team. The Cavs have three players with more minutes played than anyone on our team.

Jimmy Butler has more minutes played than Paul Millsap and he's played in eleven less games.

Bud has done a tremendous job of resting our starters.

I don't know if you're trolling me but your comment is so blatantly false that it's making me mad.

Newsflash OP, the Spurs are going to end up the 2 seed in the West

I haven't looked at their starters' minutes but wouldn't heavy minutes effect an old team more than a young one? And besides where are you getting the idea that they are a young team? They aren't a young team, their youngest starte this season is Teague at 26 nearly 27 years old. Horford is 28, Millsap 30 and Krover around 33-34.
