Bulls #1, Rockets #2...Pelicans were expected for a 5-6 seed but not to be Conference Finals contenders like Hou & Chi

Nobody who watches the NBA expected the Rockets to go the conference finals again this year. I don't know one person who thought they were better than GS-OKC-SA-LAC. Bulls would be the obvious #1. I think it's close between the Pelicans and Rockets for 2. Honorable mention to the Milwaukee Bucks.

good game 7 so far in Toronto. Paul George looking determined. 12 points so far in the 1st quarter, including a break-away 360 dunk.

Crazy ending to Spurs-Thunder. I love how Dion Waiters blatantly broke the rules and still turned the ball over. The most Dion Waiters play there ever was.

I love how the butthurt Spurs fans conveniently ignored Ginobili stepping out of bounds to defend the inbound pass & then flopping in the finest Euro-fashion. Perfect game ending for the Spurs who came out with less than stellar effort on their part.

Or that Leonard blatantly had a hold of Westbrook's jersey.

Not much longer. The Hawks are going all city of Atlanta as usual. Quick tease & then a quicker rollover.

2013 CSFMB ROY

Game 6 of Raptors/Heat tonight (Tor up 3-2); not having Whiteside and possibly Deng should allow Toronto to close it out tonight so they can swept by Cleveland.

Good for the Raptors! Erik Spoelstra will be fired about the same time as the Mayor...you want him? and fucking A the NBA is watered down Cavs Raptors who you like

Your 2016 NBA champions will be the Oklahoma City Thunder!

I hope TM is right because that be awesome to see them take out Curry and Lebron in the next 2 series. But I just don't see it happening.

I think the Warriors and Cavs are destined to be. And I know people thought I was crazy earlier in the year for saying the Cavs had a shot at knocking them off, I still think that is true.

If the Warriors make it past OKC, the Cavs will dominate them.

So many seem to forget that even with massive injuries last year, the LeBrons gave them all they could handle & with a bounce or two their way, they easily could've won.

I think OKC takes Golden State out. These two series are going to go a long way towards defining if the latest trend regarding small ball will have lasting power. It will be interesting to see if OKC employs there power lineup involving Adams/Kanter or they go with Ibaka at Center when G.S. employs Green at Center. I think they should look to pound them on the glass. Fully expect Curry to duck the Westbrook cover too.

Cleveland will try and go the small ball route for sure though. They don't really have any bigs besides Mosgov and I think they have soured on him this year.

you know what people forget? Delly and Shumpert and Smith were out of their minds offensively initially and were far better defenders than Love or Irving. Those two guys on the court spell doom for the Cavs...

the Cavs have had the easiest road to the finals ever Pistons,Hawks,and Raptors.You could combine all 3 and they wouldn't beat Cleveland

One down, three to go. Kerr needs a better plan to deal with Westbrook.

i had no idea russell westbrook went 4th in 2008 behind rose, beaseley, mayo. that 3rd quarter was epic, curry hit a bunch of rediculous shots and you could tell westbrook was pissed because he would just take the inbound pass and run full steam down the court playing hyper aggressive and answering each curry shot. It was also fun to see him play so physically against curry defensively. He is probably my favorite NBA player right now

I don't think he does. It was just a really bad game by the Warriors. I don't think he should panic and change anything. Draymond has to play a lot better. Steph needs to be more aggressive. They'll be fine. Id be shocked if they lost this series.

you can tell by their respective gaits on the tunnel walk that Kyrie was going to have a better game than Kevin Love tonight:

like that these guys have cash but spend it on decent shit instead of dressing like extras in Zoolander, the way Wade and Westbrook tend to do.

Dwyane Wade does have a decent combo pack of sneakers coming out in a few weeks, $333 for 2 pair pack, Red / Black:

is this the worst ECF ever ? I mean good god

Whoever Philly played the year they made it to the Finals. That gets my vote.
