PittsburghSucks Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 It's time for the real NBA season. Who you got? I'm picking the Cleveland Cavaliers over the Houston Rockets 4-2. What do you want? I'm a homer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 It’s amazing how one year ago we knew who was going to win it all and who they’d beat in the finals. And now there ar a few possibilities in each conference.

buzzcut Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I'm picking a Raptors-Rockets final. With Toronto winning in 6. The CCSLC's resident Geelong Cats fan. Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends. Sounds like something from a Rocky & Bullwinkle story arc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy Jordan Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Until I actually see the Rockets take down the Warriors in a 7-game series, I'm bracing for a third championship victory in four years for Golden State. But I really hope I'm wrong because I'd love to see a Rockets-Sixers Finals series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who do you think Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Cavs-Warriors again, just by process of elimination. I don't know who wins. Toronto is a choke factory. Houston is also a choke factory, although they'll have home court and actually look like they *might* be a different team this year. Of all the teams not named Cavs or Warriors I have the hardest time writing them off. The Sixers are obviously very young and have only been a "good" team for a little over a month. This winning streak of theirs consists of victories over Cleveland, Milwaukee, Minnesota, Denver, and a bunch of lottery hopefuls playing out the string (Dallas, Memphis, Orlando, Brooklyn twice, Atlanta twice, Charlotte twice, Knicks twice). Playoff adversity will hit them like a truck. Wouldn't be shocked if Miami took them out in round one. The Celtics are too injured to make a real run, although with Stevens and a playoff roster full of guys who play hard, unselfish, don't need the ball to be effective, and are under no pressure whatsoever, they should be a tough out for anyone they face, aside from Cleveland. OKC is a choke factory. Utah's on a hell of a run but there's no way they survive Houston. I don't think Portland has the horses to make a serious run without injury luck.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 So, Warriors/Spurs in the first round.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 The Raptors are a little unpredictable though. They have the best bench in likely the entire league and they've been awesome at home. This is LeBron's worst playoff team since his first go round with the Cavs, but he's also a better player now so who knows? 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcake Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 1 hour ago, Kaz said: Funny that the Raptors with the #1 seed end up getting the toughest draw of the top half of the East Kinda sorta. They’ve got a 50-50 shot of either getting the “on” Wizards that can legitimately make a run, or the “off” Wizards that consistently lose by 10 to non playoff participants.

Dynasty Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Geez... Miami and Philadelphia? I guess I'll have to find another team to root for in the semi-finals and beyond. The Sixers are just too hot right now, and the Heat are honestly just above average. Regarding the whole playoffs though, I just want to see Golden State and LeBron something new.

He'll "accidentally" trip and simultaneously wipe out both teams benches causing the series to be cancelled with the winner of Blazers/Pelicans getting a bye to the Western Final.

Seadragon76 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I'll take a shot here... Western Conference Houston over Minnesota in 5 (Never doubt the Beard) Oklahoma City over Utah in 7 (Might be the best match-up in the West because of how even the teams are) Portland over New Orleans in 6 (The Brow is more then capable of taking a game or two, but Portland just has more firepower) Golden State over San Antonio in 7 (No Curry for the Warriors and no Leonard for the Spurs. Even with the Warriors winning, San Antonio will push them) Eastern Conference Toronto over Washington in 5 (This series will get ugly fast. Might want to hide the women and children here) Cleveland over Indiana in 6 (Something is definitely off about the Cavs this season...) Philadelphia over Miami in 6 (The Process finally grows up from being a 'Process' to 'Accomplishment' here) Milwaukee over Boston in 7 (You need one upset and this is it. The Celtics are hampered and here comes the Greek Freak to smash the front door down) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Western Conference Rockets over Wolves in 4 Thunder over Jazz in 7 Blazers over Pelicans in 7 Warriors over Spurs in 5 Rockets over Thunder in 6 Warriors over Blazers in 5 Rockets over Warriors in 6 Eastern Conference Raptors over Wizards in 6 Cavs over Pacers in 5 Sixers over Heat in 6 Bucks over Celtics in 7 Cavs over Raptors in 6 Sixers over Bucks in 6 Cavs over Sixers in 6 NBA Finals Rockets over Cavs in 6 Changed my picks slightly before first game tip-off. Originally had the Jazz taking out OKC in 7, but I'm thinking OKC in 7. Should be a phenomenal series. Also, had the Celtics over the Bucks in 7, but going Bucks in 7.
