Would someone actually like to tell me what problems they have with my opinions, other than just 1 staring the thread and leaving? I have a feeling it's not anybody who actually watches basketball though

OKC isnt beating the Clips.
Toronto is a scoring team the Cavs are not sweeping them.
Bulls/Cavs will be 7 games.

Somebody explain why I should believe Charlotte will win 50 games I feel like the only one not seeing something.
