GS>HOU in 6

ATL/CLE is kinda tough to call at this point. CLE is banged up pretty bad, but still playing decent, while ATL is healthy but not playing that great.

RamiTheBullsFan · May 17, 2015

7-1 First round.

2-2 Second round. (9-3 overall)

Hawks > Cavaliers in 7.
Warriors > Rockets in 7.

Axl Rose · May 17, 2015

i remember you telling me the Rockets wouldn't make the playoffs :tongue:

GS/Houston aint going 7 games. I think GS rips them apart in 5 games. and at this point its hard picking against LeBron as much as id love to see him lose

Johnnyt237 · May 18, 2015

Golden State and Houston in seven would be great. Looking forward to seeing how it shakes out. I pick Golden State and Cleveland.

PolarBear · May 18, 2015

I know it's Lebron but I just don't see how Cleveland can stop that Atlanta front court. Can't just not defend one of those bigs like they did to Noah. They have a nice defender to put on Lebron, shooters to spread the floor everywhere. Budenholzer knows how to beat Lebron. Fuck Lebron man...

Golden State should win pretty easily I think. I don't think there is a team left that will stop them.

I still don't know how the Clippers lost

Cursed!

I was kind of hoping the Rockets were bounced just so we were guaranteed to have a a champion who hasn't won since before the 3 point era.

Scoot26 · May 18, 2015

Either way, I think GS takes care of Houston in 5 or 6 games.

I think the Hawks will handle the Cavs a lot better than the Bulls obviously did and Cleveland will be bounced, but if that LeBron luck flows through Cavs could take it in 6 or 7 games.

Is Kyrie out the rest of the playoffs?

I had the Hawks winning and still do. They arent pretty but they get the job done. Barring a streak of coldness, Golden State should win the whole thing pretty handily in my opinion. Memphis was a tough team for them to face because of size and strength and they persevered and really didnt make it much of a series when they took off.

No, but even with 6 days rest, he'll probably still have injury issues.

Or maybe Doc fucked this team.

"But it's really on Rivers to get them more help and he has failed to meaningfully do that each of the past two summers. The decision to prioritize Spencer Hawes over a small forward like Paul Pierce or Trevor Ariza looks awful in retrospect. So does the decision to trade away Jared Dudley and a first-round pick to clear enough salary cap space to fill out the roster with Hedo Turkoglu and Glen Davis. That first-round pick could've helped them in trades this winter as they pursued the likes of Jeff Green or Arron Afflalo.

Yes, they got more out of Austin Rivers than most expected. But it wouldn't have been necessary to even make that trade if they'd re-signed Darren Collison last summer and didn't miss badly on Jordan Farmar."

clonetrooper264 · May 18, 2015

Holy crap I totally forgot Doc was the PBO...

BNB · May 18, 2015

Yeah, this is one of those cases where a good HC should just coach and stay out of the FO stuff.

Alpha Male · May 18, 2015

All the highers seeds were down 2-1 and still won in the semi finals. Just realized that.

Axl Rose · May 19, 2015

Curry's mom is a beauty

wonder how many players talk trash telling him they left their draws at his mama house

clonetrooper264 · May 20, 2015

Curry got fined for an offensive flop lol
