It's that time ladies and gentlemen,
the 2015 NBA playoffs!!!!!!
This is going to be one of the best playoffs in NBA history
Here's my predictions for these playoffs.
It's literally been the hardest playoffs to pick, i don't know if Toronto will beat Atlanta but I know no matter what as long as Cleveland beats Chicago they're making it out of the east. The West is a lot harder to pick mostly every series with San Antonio took me 3 minutes of running scenarios and match ups in my head. They could literally be eliminated in the first round against the Clippers or run and take it all if they make it out of the west, against the in-experienced Cavalries.
well if you're giving mvp to the best player & you say steph curry is overrated, the only argument that can be made is give lebron james mvp every single season since he's the best player in the game and in the world
golden state had over 50% from the field in game 1 and only 42% in game 2. lots of people are going to say that it is a fluke but it isn't. its called good defense and we all know defense wins championships not offense.
like i said the warriors won't shoot that well from the field every game. curry is overrated and i don't think they can stop gasol and randolph in the post. that is why im going with the grizzlies in 6
We have been waiting for 40... What caused the Warriors loss? 1. Bad execution from Splash Brothers, particularly Klay 2. Unexpected return of Conley 3. Overconfidence 4. Probability. They were bound to lose at home at one point. 5. The Grizzlies' "hamster wheel of doom" No matter how much the Warrioirs tried to score in second half, Grizzlies always took it back Bold prediction: GS wins Game 3
and in the last 6 the teams that came out of the west were 2014: spurs 2013: spurs 2012: okc 2011 mavericks 2008-2010 lakers. the spurs are out of the playoffs. kevin Durant was hurt this entire season and the thunder didn't make the playoffs. the lakers are in rebuilding mode. the Miami heat also didn't make the playoffs. basically the major player that has won a championship in the last few years is LeBron. winning championships isn't easy and there will be lots of people trying to win it.
Read what Born said if you don't believe me at least understand his refute of your point. The only time the WEST has been beaten in the past 6 years is because Lebron beat them if not the West won
Nah man while Lebron was with the Heat they were leagues better than any team in the East this year. That's why the east won the title. The last 6 years have been WEST, WEST, WEST, HEAT HEAT, WEST. Heat=The Team LEBRON has been on. Hence why I said BET ON THE WEST OR LEBRON lol nothing else.
there we go the first logical unbiased thing you have said. The Bulls will stay low key and the series will be a good one to watch but ultimately the West comes away with the title. Just making an accurate factual prediction
SO WHAT IF THEY ARE BETTER. DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE GONNA WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. THE WEST HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY BETTER THAN THE EAST IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. BUT THEY HAVEN'T WON EVERY SINGLE CHAMPIONSHIP.
im being realistic here. doesn't matter if the bulls are underdogs or favorites. they will put their best effort into each and every game. I can guarantee you that derrick rose would prefer to stay low key throughout the playoffs. we are fine letting golden state get all the hype. we just gotta play our game and do what we do best
MY POINT ISNT THAT GOLDEN STATE WILL WIN. ITS THAT THE NOBODY PELICANS WOULD HAVE GONE TO SEVEN GAMES AGAINST THE BULLS. The west is just that much better as a whole than the east. That is my point in all this.
what have the warriors done so far to impress you? they swept a young NO team and won a game at home against the grizzlies. yes they have done well in the regular season and they probably are the favorites to win the championship. but beating Memphis isn't going to be easy and if they do they still have to go through the rockets or the clippers. it is playoff time. anything can happen.
If you are a TRUE sports fan you don't just blindly say your team is going to win. You step back and remain objective and accept when there are better teams in the playoffs than your team. You can root for your team to pull an upset but the likliehood of Chicago winning the title is slim. Michael may be off based on some aspects but overall he's right. A betting man would bet on the west or Lebron
Tom thibedaus record in the playoffs is 22-24. Doc Rivers 75-67 with a Championship and EC title. Steve Kerr is 5-0. Etc. So from a coaching standpoint I wouldn't bet on Chicago from a strategizing standpoint for planning for a series. From a health standpoint even though Rose is playing well I don't know that anyone in the NBA trusts him to the end of the playoffs. From a clutch shooting standpoint I'm picking Steph Curry or Harden both first and second for MVP. I think Chicago is likely to win the east then lose in 6 games to whoever wins the west.
you don't just add those points to the team total. that isn't how it works. if jr smith plays then that means shumpert doesn't make the impact that he did in game 1. it is all about matchups in the playoffs. the bulls will win if they don't let the cavs supporting cast score points. kyrie and LeBron will score points no matter what but we can't let Thompson, smith, shumpert score constantly.
