Its that time of year, love this sport.


anyway, who's having the best post season performance in the league?

who's going to win the 2016 NBA FINALS?



Here are some thoughts

LeBron is playing amazing, playoff mode he's incredible
Wade is looking his best in years and heat look like they will meet with the cavs in the eastern conference finals.


Rockets are a mess... literally idk why... However as for the warriors state I wonder how curry will play when he comes back


I feel like the spurs or Clippers ( Cp3 is playing great) will meet in the western finals with spurs going to the finals.



DISCUSS

[BayMoWe335]

I say the Mavs will play the Heat.

[kprocivic]

The mavs won't make it out the first round.

[BuzzE46]

what a game by the rockets, I hope the clippers go forward CP3 deserves it. Cavs play tonight. I say LeBron is hungry

[pikkagtr]

I do hope it'll be a Spurs clippers WCF
Would be a great redemption series again for Spurs fans, but if lac win itbi won't be too mad, Paul does deserve a shot at the finals
Anyone but the warriors , can't stand them or their "fans"
Did anyone see Bogut try and break Howard's arm and draymond throw Beasley to the ground at the last second last night
Wtf is that?? Poor sportsmanship and zero class
Kerr should be ashamed allowing that kind of shenanigans coming from the popovich branch of learning

[BuzzE46]

its ridiculous, if kyrie and Love weren't injured last season im pretty sure cavs would have remained champs. very poor sportsmanship for almost breaking his elbow or arm/shoulder. BOGUS! draymond green is a first time all star I believe and is cocky as FUQ the hype around the golden state and fake fans is crazy. I don't see them going to finals I see clippers or spurs.

[JohnSprm69]

Cavs vs Heat in the ECF
SPurs vs GSW in the WCF


Cavs vs Spurs in the finals

Spurs win the championship


All that said, i sure hope the heat put a whooping on the cavs and advance to the finals

[BuzzE46]

if golden state and warriors beat each other up idk man LeBron has the eye of the tiger my man

[djDori_C]

How about some love for my Raptors.
First time past the first round in 15 years 🙌🎉

[BuzzE46]

ill give them credit. lowry needs to get his stuff together. at this point its the heats experience and dwades clutch and turning back the clock that give them the clear advantage

[IndotagSwizz]

that game last night was insane, the Heat tried to lose it in every possible way, but we pulled through. I expect a much better effort from the Raptors in game 2, having said that I love the Heat's strategy...let DeRozan take every shot...

[John Tanglewood]

Goddammit it's going to be a cakewalk for LeBron into the NBA Finals.

Miami cannot come close to matching the Cavs production after winning almost every playoff game thus far by an insanely close margin....

And should the Raptors by some miracle beat the Heat, Lowry has already proven he's the league's recent most unreliable playoff participant, alongside his good buddy and fellow top scorer, DeRozan.

I made my (not even close to) bold prediction when Curry went down - Golden State will still win the finals, against the Cavs, in 5 games.

Its either the Cavs or the Spurs that will be champions

Raptors will lose against the Heat. Raptors might have better seeding and record but the heat are a veteran laden team with Tons of experience.

the heat Cannot beat the Cavs at Full strength, so it will be Cavs from the East.

Warriors will not beat the Spurs without or with an injured Curry. even though they are now up 2-0 on Portland, last night showed that Warriors without Curry are still a good defensive team (they are actually better defensively with a 6'7" Livingston than they are with Curry on the Floor
However, everything offensively changes when Curry is not, because Thompson doesn't get as many open looks, the floor is not spaced as much because Livingston is not a great 3 point shooter nor as quick as Curry and the offense becomes an ordinary offense without Steph on the Floor

keep going...because the next one is either the Spurs or the Thunder, both of which are harder teams than the Cavs would ever have to face.

They had a little luck with CP3 and Blake ending the Clips hopes of the 2nd round, but they'll have to actually play next round.

agreed...on your Spurs point however that's if they can get past the Thunder... I know most people will laugh at that but the Thunder is a very young team and has always been a bad match up for the Spurs

You put your money where that mouth is? Because all my chips are on the table for the Warriors, with or without an injured Curry. Because of their bench.

How many times do the Warriors need to prove that the Spurs cannot compete with them? They've done it countless times already. I respectfully, WHOLLY disagree wit your opinion.

[BuzzE46]

cavs vs spurs,

they have history together and this year the cavs are fully healthy. irving and love being better in every aspect and not injured. cavs in 6 cavs will be champs or Spurs.

the eastern conference will be heat vs cavs.


idk what happened with the raptors, I think its just the pressure. sadly damian lillard has no help on his team and he played farily well.

if the warriors can get past the spurs I think they will be exhausted. the spurs have the best defense in the league. (pop is too intelligent)

I feel like its a close path for both if the Heat gets to the ECF

Yes I agree the Heat will challenge the Cavs more than the Raptors would.

However with the way the Heat have been trying to give away almost every game in the playoffs so far, I doubt they get to 6 games against a hungry LeBron who's got Kevin Love by his side this time.

Here's what changes then tho... the Heat just want to play the Cavs and with this path even better they get to play them (IF THEY BEAT TORONTO FIRST) in the ECF. The Heat will be so hyped for that series man I'm telling you they will give the Cavs all they got...however having seen it first hand before..its hard and a bad idea to bet against Lebron

I truly do not disagree with you. And as a huge bball fan there would be NOTHING more awesome to see than a hard-nosed Heat team going against soft-as-butter Cleveland. I dislike LeBron to a large degree and enjoy watching him lose, so I'm certainly biased.

But yeah, people always talk about wanting to face the best, which is admirable. And for the Heat, facing the Cavs would be like their own Championship, which would really up the competitive juices.

Honestly just let it happen. Would MUCH rather see Cavs/Heat rather than Cavs/Raps.
