FinsUp1214 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Some pretty intriguing matchups! I think this should turn out to be a pretty exciting playoffs. Here's my picks:First RoundGolden State 4, New Orleans 1Portland 4, Memphis 3San Antonio 4, LA Clippers 2Houston 4, Dallas 1Atlanta 4, Brooklyn 0Toronto 4, Washington 2Milwaukee 4, Chicago 2Cleveland 4, Boston 0Second RoundGolden State 4, Portland 2Houston 4, San Antonio 3Atlanta 4, Toronto 2Cleveland 4, Milwaukee 1Conference FinalsGolden State 4, Houston 3Atlanta 4, Cleveland 2NBA FinalsGolden State 4, Atlanta 3Finals MVP: Klay Thompson, GSI feel we're going to get the Finals matchup that's been touted all year, but that the whole playoffs will be a fight to the end for quite a few matchups. I fully expect a GS-ATL Finals to be one of the best in recent memory if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Topic title wise, the NBA threads have a long way to go to catch with the hockey threads.Go Warriors and/or Hawks and/or Raptors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstar1212 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Go Celtics, but they'll be lucky to beat Cleveland. After that, go Warriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Zephyr III Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Oomph.WESTERNWarriors over Pelicans in 5 (Davis will have one monster game but Warriors just have too much)Houston over Dallas in 6 (Carlise will make the Rockets sweat for a bit)Spurs over Clippers in 7 (an absolute throwdown)Memphis over Portland in 5 (Best matchup for the beat-up Grizzlies)Spurs over Houston in 6 (Experience checks out)Warriors over Memphis in 4 (Way too overwhelming)Warriors over Spurs in 6 (THIS CRASHES MY HEART; Game 6 could very well be Timmy's last game ever)EASTERNHawks over Nets in 5 (A fluke win)Cleveland over Boston in 5 (keep in mind that this is the first playoff series for Love and Irving)Chicago over Milwaukee in 5 (a bit of a slog)Washington over Toronto in 6 (two upstarts that settled on mediocrity pretty fast)Cleveland over Chicago in 7 (Derrick Rose will come alive but it just won't be enough)Atlanta over Washington in 5 (pretty easy lockdown)Cleveland over Atlanta in 6 (sigh...this has seemed inevitable since February)NBA FINALSGolden State over Cleveland in 5 (this is going to be a clinic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still MIGHTY Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 There are a lot of potentially fun stories and new faces in the playoffs. That's pretty cool, actually.However...Spurs/Cavs in I don't care how many games, because the NBA is ultimately a soul-crushing machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C's Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Everyone's calling upset on HOU/DAL and TOR/WSH, so naturally the higher seeded team will win each series in six games max.Clippers will beat San Antonio in the first round.LeBron comes out of the East once again.Golden State will win it all.

RyanMcD29 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Let's take a stab at this. Should be one of the most entertaining NBA Playoffs in some time with all the fresh contenders in the pictureEastHawks in 5 (I'm just happy the Nets got into another playoff, even if it's as half-assed as they did)Cavs in 5Bulls in 5Raptors in 7West(Warriors in 5)Rockets in 6Spurs in 6Grizzlies in 7Warriors over Spurs in 6Hawks over Cavs in 7Warriors over Hawks in the NBA Finals in 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSox44 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I still cannot believe the Celtics got in. Brad Stevens is too good.I did kinda wanna tank for a shot at Okafor, but honestly we're really close to be competitive very soon. Acquiring Thomas was a master stroke.
