Not much to see until June. Cleveland and Golden State will play again.

That said, I want to see Denver get the 8th seed. I like watching them more than the other shitty teams. They can take GS 5 or 6 because they can score and Jokic will cause problems. He's fun to watch.

I also look forward to Utah hopefully beating the Clippers. I always enjoy watching them lose.

Hopefully Boston and Cleveland make it to the Eastern Conference Finals. I want to see IT chop and that series will be heated, although Cleveland will win.

Hopefully Houston plays GS for the West. San Antonio is probably better than Houston, but GS always runs the Spurs off the floor.

    I support your Denver agenda too, but Portland is fucking stupid.

    Saw Houston in person tonight, they are too small. They play Beverley and Williams together a lot and just watch Harden/Ariza chuck it up. Ne Ne is probably the only player on that team that plays physical enough.

    All these teams in the West just look like duck-taped money ball wet dreams anyways. I can't think of a single interesting matchup for GS.

    Jokic is awesome. It's too bad Mudiay is a bust or they could already be scary.

    I want the Clippers to lose early and quickly so Blake will leave. I don't know how much money he'd cost himself but it would be a lot more fun if he was on Boston, OKC or even Miami.

    The only thing I could see stopping GS from winning the west is internal problems. Like they're playing great right now, Durant comes back but he's not 100%, maybe that causes someone to get upset. But that seems like a reach.

    Also, Marcus Smart and Avery Bradley really give Boston a shot to shut down Kyrie so maybe they can hang with Cleveland.

    Houston is the only team that can hoist/score with them in the West, but would have to stay hot over 7 games.

    I just don't think the Warriors make it out of the West. There is a reason no teams have met three straight years.

    I think the Cavs are playing possum and get out of the East rather easily.

    Adding Kevin Durant in year 3 is probably an outlier though.

    Agree but I still need to see a championship. I'm not sure the Durant -Green thing is as harmless as people say,

    Cavs and Warriors dont look undefeatable.

    Though it will be the most likely finals. I could see the Celtics or Spurs slipping in on either conference.

    Hell the rockets can probably take the dubs in a best of 7.

    I want to see GS lose, but I don't think it happens. Nothing would be better though.

    I can't stand the way that Houston plays ... they look very beatable right now

    Cavs look like they are limping to the finish line ... if they don't watch it they are going to get a difficult road to the Finals ...

    Best thing to happen to the Warriors was nobody to believe in them after KD got hurt ... they are the clear favorites

    Adding Durrant isn't going to somehow make the Warriors worse.

    All the way. Rather easily.

    And adding a top 3 player ruins that how exactly?

    Harden's obviously very talented and he's done great work getting Houston to where they are this year ... no question on that

    Where I struggle with Houston is that they shoot way too many 3's IMO ... last night against the Warriors when push came to shove the Rockets decided to just chuck it from deep whereas the Warriors kept finding ways to get layups and open shots over and over.

    I get what they are trying to do with effective FG% and whatnot ... but in the end, it's just not winning basketball at the highest levels.

    Pick your poison - either that or Dwight Howard.

    I think they made the right choice.

    The Dubs (ILTCTTDTWILTD) are still going to boatrace them *irregardless assuming Houston can get that far - which they won't.

    To me, it's Spurs/Dubs in the conference finals. I don't see anybody else even seriously in the discussion.

    I had to google what this meant. Is this referring to Lamar Odom and James Harden taking the L for trying to get that girl after?
