I suppose Boston's already started saving their energy for next year with Markelle Fultz and Gordon Hayward.

one cannot help but feel some sympathy for the kings.  manage to get isaiah thomas with a second round pick.  trade him away and watch him become arguable one o' the best pg in the league.  now the kings is likely needing to draft a pg with one of their two lottery picks.

 

shoulda' traded boogie earlier and kept thomas. 

 

HA! Good Fun!

I almost feel sorry for the Kings. Complete mismanagement since the days of Adelman and Webber.

 

But then, I think of my friends from Sac and the schadenfreude fills me with joy.

as a chicago fan, am in a similar situation as the kings following.  

 

though, in all honesty, our basketball fandom has waned considerable since 1993.  as crazy as it sounds, the dominance o' chicago for almost a decade forever ruined our enjoyment o' pro basketball. 

 

'course the college game has become increasingly terrible in recent years.

Remember when eveyrone was fretting over the fact that CLE wasn't going by #1 seed and wouldn't have home court 'advantage'? L0LZ

 

 

It is amazing James has only 4 MVPs. Without him, this CLE 'jauggernaut' would be be struggling to make the playoffs. LMAO

 It could go either way. GS is the better team. CLE has the best player. The reason why these two teams are close is becuase they have soemthing other teams don't - money shooting. Both IND and TOR played 'well' against CLE but they simply din't shoot as well. GS (and CLE) will shoot well.

 

It could go either way. GS seems to be rock solid. Last year in their run through playfofs theyw ere rather up and down even pre Finals (ie. down 3-1 to OKC).

 

Of course, i want the Cleveland Lebrons to win but  I would not be surprised if GS did.

I don't know if I'd call a 3 point loss "slaughtered".  Still, they lost to an Isaiah-less Celtics team.  Oh well, it will take them 5 games instead of 4 to get to the finals.

I call it slaughtered when you just crushed them by 40+ points, youa r eon your hoke court, and you had a huge lead. No excuses. That was AWFUL.

Maybe it's better for the Cavs to get a game like that out of their system now, because they sure can't afford to be having games like that against the Dubs.

Damn Lebron.  Why did you feel sorry for BOS and let them have a win? It would ahve eben supra sweet if the Finals were two 12-0 teams battling it out for supremcy.

 

Still, as I said above, GS has to be the favorites but one can never rule out the Lebrons winning either. I am hoping Lebron  with a little help from his friends manage to pull it out.. but I dunno.

 

Unlike BOS, Lebron is going to have to be slam dunkj on both O and D. Hopefully, Irivng and Love cna step up their D again.

 

I'll be shocked if either team  ever has mroe than 1 bad game where they score elss than 100 points. I can see a lot of 120-110 games. L0L

Using the OSAS* method I'm going with GSW to win it this year

 

I wanna say they take in 5 but I'm not confident enough to put any money on it.... plus, I'd prefer if it went 7 games, 7 nail-bitingly close games

Really great and efficient night from KD. Gonna be hard to beat the dubs if KD keeps shooting 50%+.

 Easy win. GS is way too stacked. L0L  CLE has no chance with giving up too many 2nd chances, too many turnovers, and awful shooting. Not to mention the muggings.  Like I said before, GS has to be the clear favorites as a team.
