Message: [QUOTE="NineOneSeven, post: 1740723, member: 871"] My playoff thoughts so far: [LIST] [*]GSW/Houston --> GSW clearly the best, and deepest, team in the league. Would be surprised if they don't sweep. Houston is perhaps the strangest team I have seen. All-star core, and solid role players but just no chemistry at all and honestly strange rotations, imo. [*]OKC/Dallas --> OKC still wins this series, but last night showed how good of a coach Carlisle is and how streaky players can be. Westbrook and Durant killed them down the stretch, but I expect big time bounce back games. Props to the veterans on Dallas for stepping up down the stretch, but they have too many injuries to overcome, and OKC still has loads of talent. No chance of coming out of the west though, imo. [*]LAC/Portland --> I expect LAC to win this series because their best players are better than Portland's best players. I can see this going 6-7 games though, especially if Lillard gets hot. I think this comes down to the bench guys. Who contributes more? Great year for Portland either way. [*]Memphis/SA --> This will get ugly. It's a shame Memphis has so many injuries because if they were fully healthy, this series would be fun. Of course if that was the case, they wouldn't be a 7 seed. Vinsanity, Chris Anderson, and Jordan Farmar started for them. Think about that. [*]Cle/Detroit --> Living in akron, I hate Cleveland. I have always been a Lebron defender and fan because his bball ability is un-matched, but after living here and being able to watch so many games, I can absolutely see why so many people dislike him for non-basketball reasons. Detroit is going to be very good in the next 3-4 years with their young core. Lebron, Irving, and Love all played solid, at least in terms of scoring, and the game was closer than the score. I would be concerned. Cavs still advance, but Detroit will battle every game. I also work with a lot of delusional Cavs fans who think Dellava-idiot outplayed Curry in the finals. [*]Miami/Charlotte --> Luol Deng? Guy is balling. Heat are a very sneaky team to come out of the east. I think a Cavs/Heat east finals would be awesome. Charlotte has some good players (Kemba has had a GREAT year) but they won't be able to hang with Miami's experience. [*]Indiana/Toronto --> I think this goes 7 games but Toronto pulls it out. Tough first round matchup for them, as Indy has the best player and guys with experience. [*]Celtics/Hawks --> Losing Bradley was big. Like Detroit, Boston will be very good the next few years but I think Atlanta's top players > Boston's top player and with their experience, they move on. [/LIST] Some teams I am rooting for - GSW, Dallas, Detroit, Hawks, Heat. [/QUOTE]
