So both Cavs and Dubs swept their first round series with relative ease...

watch GS have the best record in the league with KD and steamroll anyone that mattered + watch Chef get back in god mode with KD out and win 14 in a row but question their dominance brehs

Playoffs are a different animal .....coaches making adjustments and watching film over a series makes a lot of difference ......Utah got way more heart than Portland....I wanna see

 

[I AM WARHOL]

A sweep is a sweep is a sweep. I remember last year the cabs played a few tough games with Detroit and people were saying the same thing

 

[Jalether]

anyone doubts their inevitable meeting in the NBA Finals?

I cant see the Raps/Bucks or the Jazz/Clippers upsetting either team btw.

I do. I still believe spurs will make it to the finals. They have the warriors numbers and barring a second half meltdown in their last match ups, they were oncourse to make it 3 blow out wins against the warriors for the season. They have the best manager in the game, the experience and the pedigree and are hugely underrated as a title contender. I will be betting on them to make the finals and beat cavs in 6

 

[G-Zeus]

Portland a way better team than the Pacers

no... they where pretty even... even went 1-1

Agree with your whole assessment....except for that last sentence....cavs win that series against San Antonio.

I'm pulling for Utah this post season.

I'm enjoying watching my old "7 Seconds Or Less" shooting guard wreck shyt out there

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

Portland a way better team than the Pacers

Yeah....I think Portland would win that series 4-2

 

[ALonelyDad]

Cavs had a 16 point differential that is something to worry about but their main East competition have also looked like shyt.

 

[ThaRealness]

Cavs won and swept without Kyrie and Love playing great.....I actually think that speaks volumes to how good this team is. Also, that bench being so good says a lot too....D will, Frye and korver doing so much .....cavs are actually scary to think about once everyone gets involved. But yes and, nearly equally, the warriors look INCREDIBLE too......I think both are a lock and deservedly so...I hope both make it






(But Kawhi looms in the darkness)

Love was a factor for like 2 months of the season . Its Bron and Kyrie

With that trash defence, nah.

I dont wanna sound like a conspiracy theorist but even if spurs are going to beat the warriors the refs will take care of that shyt. NBA is about making big money and they found their rivarly between cavs and warriors. There is no way that spurs warriors series is going to be fair, no way.

Don't believe that defense breh....cavs go as hard as required....pacers didn't require much, spurs will and Cavs can take it there

The other way to look at it was that the Cavs barely beat a #7 seed in each of four games despite Lebron putting up insane lines on both ends.

The role players hit their threes, TT hustled, and that was it. They're still getting worked on defense and the Cavs still had only three guys in double figures.

Bullshyt, Spurs don't make six Finals if the league trying to cheat them out. The rubber match between Kawhi and Lebron is still a great storyline. And the league would love to have everyone's expectations denied with a different Finals matchup - it would make the buzz for next year MUCH better.

All year long, everyone been saying that Warriors over Cavs in the Finals in evitable (outside deranged Warrior haters). And it's their third matchup in a row - peeps saying the regular season pointless, even first three rounds pointless. If Spurs make the Finals instead, the league can shout, "See, anything can happen!" and how the Warriors respond next year (plus either Bron chasing his 5th title or Kawhi chasing his 3rd) becomes MUCH bigger storyline than "Will the same two teams meet for the fourth time and will the over stacked Warriors win yet again?"
