NBA Playoffs

Who is going to win it all?  Will it be the Heat for the 3peat or will they be de-throned this year?  What is the most exciting series?  Which upsets are you picking?

 

Comment here!

I'm a heat fan so I want to pick them...I just have a hard time picking against the Spurs with how well they've done.  And my #2 and #3 fav teams are prolly the Suns and Wizards, so being a Suns fan I have an especial hate for the Spurs.

 

Most exciting series to me are Houston-Portland and GS/Clippers.  Followedy by Wizards-Bulls. 

 

My upset?  Brooklyn will beat Toronto.  Memphis will beat OKC.

Well I'm a Mavs fan but that's not looking too good at the moment. Though maybe if Dirk shows up this time and they don't forget how to score in the last 7 minutes of the next game, things might not be too bad. Still, Spurs look like the favorites. They've got experience, youth, depth, attack, defense, the best coach in the league, probably the best PF of all time, and by far the best team game in the league. And when Tony decides to get things done, they almost always get done. If OKC get knocked out, the Spurs have a straight line to the finals. I can't see Houston or the Clippers taking four games off them. And seeing as no one in the East is very impressive at the moment... Well like I said they're the favorites. At the very least betting against them is unwise.

Ouch on the game last night. Steph Curry got totally taken out of his game and the Dubs got stomped. Still we come home with a 1-1 split and if there is one thing Mark Jackson is very good at it's motivating his team. Still hopeful we can pull the upset but we could really use Bogut about now.

Go Celtics!!! Excuse me while I cry a little... Predictions... Heat take the East, they've been in cruise control the last two months while getting healthy, as soon as they encounter a real opponent they'll turn "it" on. In the west, OKC's defense concerns me, the Spurs while miraculous are old and we saw them gas out last year. I like the Clippers and OKC to slug it out with the Clippers winning the west, and the Heat winning in 7 in the finals.

Wizards last night turned it up.  If they played like this all year team would have been the 3 seed.

[SBoydW]

Wizard are good, but still a second tier team beating up another second tier team that is over achieving and can't score to save their lives.

Lol. 

 

Most epic thing I've seen all day is this 11 minute video on how shitty James Harden is at defense. 

 

[MasterAblar]

All tied up between Dallas and San Antonio. Hopefully the mavs keep playing like this back home.

[Tyler Glembo]

I was shocked Dallas won.  I just assumed SA would go on a run in the 4th quarter again to put the game away

[Suttree]

Headed to the Dubs game tonight! So stoked, the playoff atmosphere is insane at Roracle. Honestly have no idea how this will play out though. Have to be happy with a split at home given that last game. Need Curry, Thompson and Iguodala to step up big.

[Tyler Glembo]

NUTS!  I'm jealous!  I was lookin' at tix for the Wiz game and it was just too rich for my blood.

[Jak 0' the Shadows]

I think that since the Pacers are in a slump and since the Thunder might not leave the first round.... I'll go with Miami. But I really like Portland.

[Tyler Glembo]

Just heard that Gilbert Arenas is going to try to attempt a comeback in the NBA.  Apparently he'd like another *shot and if he doesn't make it he at least wants to go out with a *bang.

 

Heh.

[MasterAblar]

God, Indiana is just terrible. OKC in danger too. Great series between Clippers and Warriors.

[Tyler Glembo]

At least OKC isn't terrible.  Problem is that Memphis had tons of injuries early in the season and a bad record.  Then Gasol got healthy and they have been dominant ever since, but still only landed the 7 seed. 

 

Also, anybody else remember how everybody thought it was a conspiracy when Memphis let Pau go for the rights to Marc.  In hindsight it doesn't seem so bad anymore.

[Tyler Glembo]

30 seconds left in OT and down by 3.  Westbrook just had to launch the shot since he just couldn't find anybody open /sarcasm

 

[Jak 0' the Shadows]

He's Westbrook, he makes a few shots early and his head swells. He thinks he'll make all of them. I bet you that in his mind, he's 'Russell the Muscle.' OKC better win because, not going to lie; it would be pretty awkward if Kevin Durant had to accept the MVP while on vacation. 

[SBoydW]

Vince turning back the clock.

[Tyler Glembo]

I know right.

 

And 80-80 with 30seconds left. This is the best series I've seen in a long, long time.

 

I'll cheer for OKC this game to even the series, though I sorta want Memphis to win the series overall

[Tyler Glembo]

OVERTIME!

[Andrej]

Still pretty blown away by that last second 3-pointer from VC FTW.

 

Mavs/Spurs definitely a good series.

[SBoydW]

Memphis should of had that game. Couldn't hang on.

[Tyler Glembo]

Cheering for the wizards right now. Was gonna head down to the verizon center and watchc at a nearby bar but then I got lazy. Meh.

[Jak 0' the Shadows]

Man, game 3 of the Warriors and Clips, that was sad. I'm not one to be too mad about calls but..... 

 

What really surprises me is that Miami is the ONLY that hasn't lost yet. I was guessing they'd sweep but I though that at least one other team would have an easy series. The Mavs have really surprised me.
