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.
Due to a lame mixup/assignments coming up for friends, I won't be going to game 4. Might be going to a wizards/hawks game next round, provided its before finals

College basketball is insanely un-watchable by the officiating and the more importantly the playstyle, not to mention who really watches college basketball until it's March Madness time, and even then I don't watch it because it SUCKS
For more in dept analysis on why it sucks just google what Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said about it.

it's a well known fact that college basketball is extremely un-enjoyable .
Let's think shall we? 35 second shotclock lol
Dribble...Pass...Dribble... Pass.. Dribble...... Pass...Pass... Dribble.. More Passing.... Dribble..... crap we still have 10 seconds
i was giving some pity for college basketball. should i rephrase my statement? the world cup is the best tournament ever to exist even better than any other tournament including the olympics. i guarantee you people that buy tickets to an nba game know more than people that attend a college basketball game. nba fans might not have the spirit as college fans but they know a lot more than those students. a lot of students just go with their friends to have fun and spend time together.
just because there are upsets doesn't mean its competitive. these games are played between non polished college basketball players who are not even as talented as nba players. there just is a lack of talent in college basketball and upsets occur all the time. who cares if a #15 seeded team upset a #2 seed. espn makes it seem like the end of the world. they celebrate for 48 hours and then lose the next game.
vcu is literally the only consistent defensive team ive seen in the past few years. the problem is their offensive efficiency is not even close to their defensive efficiency. look at the indiana pacers. they have good defense every year yet they didn't make the playoffs because they don't score enough. don't get me going on how well college teams play D because they don't know how to
"even the world cup" implying the world cup isn't very exciting to begin with, and it's only just barely more exciting? jesus you have horrendous opinions. What's the difference between someone knowing nothing about basketball cheering for their school, and someone knowing nothing about basketball cheering for their local nba team? Hmm? nothing, you're just denouncing "dumb college fans" even though it's really hard to bandwagon a college team unless its a team like duke/unc/kentucky.
and you wanna talk about a lack of competitiveness? Need i remind you about Georgia St. or Florida Gulf Coast? Two not even mid-major level teams with huge upsets in the tourney. Sure march madness is single-elim but its much more exciting than watching a bunch of high seeds sweep a 7 game series in the 1st round of the nba playoffs
and dude, no good man to man defensive teams? have you even seen VCU (and i guess now it'll be texas) and the havoc defense? you can't honestly make that claim. the majority of teams play man D and a simple zone but it's not nearly as much zone as you're implying
competitiveness? all i see are lots of raw and inexperienced basketball players compete against each other.
variation in defense? hmmm... zone defense, zone defense, and more zone defense. there are literally no good man to man defensive teams in college basketball. there are also a limited number of players who can play man to man defense.
greatest postseason tournament? it is like dumb college fans that don't know anything about basketball cheering for their school. they are their for the school spirit not basketball. march madness may have lots of intensity but that is only cause its a single elimination game not a playoff series like many other professional sports. even the world cup is more exciting than march madness
then what is college basketball from your definition?
a hell of a lot more competitiveness, a lot more variation in defensive oriented teams compared to offensive oriented teams, whereas nba is much more offense-friendly. oh and march madness, which is the greatest postseason tournament in any sport on any level, professional or college
I remember when I thought Shak and Charles Barkley were legitemate oddsmakers

Cleveland is undoubtedly the best team in the East, and every single odds maker has them winning the East and more importantly winning the playoffs, which they will.
Which is why everyone on TNT has said they picked Chicago coming out of the east and the team to beat? Your posts trying to talk NBA make me cringe, please stop.
bulls also need to take care of the basketball and not give cleveland a chance on the fast break. cleveland likes to play at a fast speed and the bulls don't. whoever gets to dictate the pace of the game then they win.
