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.
Who I want to win it all:

i agree with robik there, you're canadian, you don't know the struggle
Great players adapt to the game. No doubt the NBA is soft and I cringe when I see James harden charge into big men and get calls in his favor, but you can't judge for using the new play style in their favor. Derek would be doing the same thing had he not been injured so many times. Flopping and playing for the foul is smart imo until it doesn't pay off
James Harden is the best player in the league at drawing contact on a drive.

there's a lot of players who drive to the basket looking to create contact, and draw the foul and go to the line what are you talking about? Derrick rose tends to avoid contact, meaning he moves his body away from the defender when he's in the air instead of drawing the foul
hardly in the nba does an offensive player create contact. the only time that happens is with a pump fake. the defender is the one that creates the contact so you really can't avoid contact as an offensive player

well apparently rose has attempted 18 shots in the paint this series, hasn't gone to the line once. The question is does he draw the fouls? I'm not a bout to spend an hour analyzing the refs and any reason they'd have to not give derrick rose calls since he's an all star, and a well known glass player who can get injured if you breath on him too hard. So I'm inclined to believe refs would give him more calls than not. Maybe he's just avoiding the contact in his drives, moving away. Maybe he's not selling the contact to the refs who, are human, and are only making calls to what they see and players reactions (Which is why lebron & a lot of players used to flop so often a few season ago)
the thing is rose doesn't show much emotion when there is contact. instead of other players he doesn't complain much to the refs. we have to respect his way of basketball but there is no way he did not get fouled in any of his drives to the basket.
People don't know much about basketball, if you look at the stats sometimes that can be evident. But not when it's in the reg. season. It's a totally different dynamic right now. NOP had a chance to BEAT the GSW in round one. Are you kidding me. Had that been Anthony Davis' 3rd year they would be in the second round with MEM griz
