Whose going to pull it?
Could be injuries, could be chemistry, could be plain luck or transcendent play from players, or just crappy play from stars.

Recent Playoff Upsets (Some are more impressive than others.)

OKC Vs San Antonio 2016
Cleveland Vs GSW 2016
Washington Vs Bulls 2014 (Minor?)
Pacers vs Knicks 2013

Stuff like that.

This year I'm thinking a few teams capable of pulling upsets in the playoffs are the Jazz, Bulls and Memphis.

Also Lakers/T-Wolves should they make the playoffs on a 7th seed or better (That dream is slowly slipping from us..) and avoid GSW on the first round, they could give a nice scare to a team.

Thoughts?

Lol someone is gonna bring up the fact you mentioned injuries.

But I got the Jazz making it to the Semi Finals and taking the Spurs to 7.

Jazz could very well pull an upset.
Mostly because teams aren't sure what they'll see from them come playoff time. (Much like the Blazers punched the Rockets in the mouth and pulled one on them.)

But Spurs in 7? that's a stretch. Could happen, but I don't think Pop, of all coachs will be caught off guard.

Thinking more the new-ish Coachs, Aka Memphis, Rockets, OKC will drop the ball.
