When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Wait, isn't the first round still going, too?

Yeah. But the second round has started.

Matchups:

West:
The top seed Nuggets helmed by the multi-time MVP, Jokic vs the new look four-seed Suns featuring Kevin Durant and Devin Booker.
The (to be determined) vs the revamped seven-seed Lakers featuring LeBron James and Anthony Davis

East:
In the top backet, somehow, we have the eight seed miracle Miami Heat lead by Jimmy Butler vs the gritty fifth seed New York Knicks lead by Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle.
The big matchup is the two-seed high-expectation Celtics with Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown vs the dramatic 76ers featuring the Rootbeer Barrel James Harden and possibly Joel Embiid if his knee allows.

Parents don't realize that their brains change and that people that don't have kids won't find a commercial about a binky funny or appealing at all.

Yeah for the pick'em bonus question, I think Porter Jr. is a little underrepresented because there's a healthy assumption that Jamal Murray is going to make the majority of Denver's three-pointers, but if the Suns defense actually covers the guards, isn't there a good chance that the ball gets to Porter? He could have some career-defining games, he's the right age for it.

And it looks like he'll be the on-ball guy during the minutes Jokic rests.

Those people exist but they are primarily transplants and most don't root for the Nuggets. Part of the reason the home crowd sucks

My issue here is I think the suns have better wing defense than guard defense

Chris Paul, wiley veteran, played bad last playoff series so he would have one of his 4 good playoff games a year to use this series.
