If the Spurs are 100-percent healthy and play with maximum effort, I can see them winning a series, but there is no way an Eastern Conference team beats them unless the shyt is fixed
Warriors still my pick to win it all, but.....

I said nothing statistically incorrect.nikka, the entire universe said that
Just cause you say some statistically incorrect contrarian bullshyt and you get it right doesn't make you smart
If they barely squeak by all teams, then they cannot be considered better than the 2001 Lakers or even 91 Bulls. Playoff dominance>>>reg season dominance.
The 96 Bulls are consensus GOAT, but those 2 thrown games vs Seattle is a shytstain on they postseason. If they swept like they should have, there'd simply be no argument.

The #1 Rated Mixtape of all Time
Broncos had a completely stagnant offense with a horrible QB, an inconsistent running game, an OL that was decent at best, and some good receivers
their defense was great, granted, but it was coming off of getting raped by the Steelers, and then nearly choking the game away against the Broncos
EVERYTHING you said was statistically incorrect
If the Spurs beat Golden State, Golden State will still go down as an all time great team

I said NOTHING statistically incorrect, I just pointed out that u was DEAD WRONG, fakkit.
Try to justify your shyt prediction all you want, you still shouldn't have made it. Just because Pittsburgh did well against that defense didn't mean Carolina wouldn't get their shyt pushed in by it. Any smart nikka knew that the Panthers were food and that Peyton wouldn't have to do shyt to help out because of the D. Get a clue, you know nothing about the game.
Not if it's a sweep or ends in 5.
Why are we automatically fast-forwarding the Spurs/OKC second round matchup?
There's no way okc will beat the spurs in 7 games

The #1 Rated Mixtape of all Time
Nothing past this mattered because of your clear unwillingness to own up to the bullshyt you're typing. Not only did you reference me with this bullshyt a month plus after the game ended, which leads me to believe you had very little belief in that pick, ESPN had at least 2 or 3 articles filled with stats that clearly gave Carolina almost every advantage going into the game.
Now if you want to continue bringing up your stupid ass "OH ALL SMART nikkaS KNEW DENVER WAS GONNA WIN" banter, fine, but don't quoting me talking like Denver was favored before hand

Not really...true upsets in the NBA are much more rare than in the NFL. For starters, the underdog has won the last 5 super bowls in a row (Giants, 2 point dogs, Ravens, 5 point dogs, Seahawks, 1 point underdog, Patriots, pk but no vig, Broncos, 5 point dogs) while the favorite has won the last 3 NBA Finals and 5 of the last 7.
Moreover, the two "upsets" in the NBA finals were very slight (+105 and +155 range for Heat in 2012 and Mavs in 2011, respectively). There has been only one huge upset in NBA finals history in the last 25 years (2004 Detroit Pistons). Dating back to 2010, these are the "Large" upsets in the playoffs (i.e., when the money line on the underdog is +250 or higher)
1. Celtics over Cavs
2. Grizzlies over Spurs
3. Warriors over Nuggets
There were zero major upsets in the 2014 and 2015 NBA playoffs. Also, keep in mind that there are a total of 15 series in each NBA playoff year. So from 2010 - 2015, or 90 playoff series, there were 3 "large" upsets.
Compare this to the NFL, where, in that same time frame (under a format in which there are only 11 total games per year):
1. Seahawks beat the Saints
2. Jets beat the Patriots
3. Broncos beat the Steelers
4. Giants beat the Packers
5. Ravens beat the Broncos
6. Ravens beat the Patriots
7. Chargers beat the Bengals
8. Colts beat the Broncos
True, there were zero major upsets in the latest NFL playoff round. However, from 2010 - 2015, or 66 total games, we had 8 major upsets. That's a 12.1% "large upset percentage", compared to the NBA's 3.3% clip over that same timespan.
Cliffs: You're completely incorrect and you should show yourself out of this thread.

nikka, all this shyt shows is that the pundits who make these odds are a bunch of idiots. And odds are usually based on who people put money on, so it's the fans that are dumb af.
I picked NYG in 2012, Seahawks in 14, and Denver this year. I knew the Pistons D in 04 would stuff the overrated Lakers.
1. Seahawks beat the Saints
2. Jets beat the Patriots Called it.
3. Broncos beat the Steelers
4. Giants beat the Packers
5. Ravens beat the Broncos
6. Ravens beat the Patriots
7. Chargers beat the Bengals
8. Colts beat the Broncos
Not surprised by any of these results except maybe the 7-9 Seahawks doin work. That's it. So when you talk upsets, you're going by odds that casinos set up according to retarded fans that waste their money.
The fact of the matter is that to the smart fan, there have been a pretty equal amount of surprises in both sports. I wasn't surprised when NYG shut down Brady's overrated ass in 2008. Or when they sonned the Pack in GB in 2012.
A smart fan looks more closely and analytically at the matchups. The retard (the cacs who post up money at Cesar's Palace, thus setting the odds) just look at record and say "OMG, Team A won 16 games!!!!! THEY CAN'T LOSE!!!111". Which is fukking pathetic. There's WAY MORE to a team's strength than fukking record. Tbf, a team's record usually tells you jack and shyt. You gotta look at the D, then the O, then playoff experience, then coaching tendencies, then player psychology as it pertains to many factors including home field advantage. A smart fan will know when home court/field is actually a disadvantage. It happens.
There's a lot of nuance that the retard just doesn't get, so when a low seed wins, they'll say "OMG!!! I CAN'T BOLLIVE IT!!111". Which is sad. The smart fan, however, saw it coming a mile away.
Yup, I'm telling y'all right now, if Cleveland goes up in the Finals, I'm gonna get some money together and start up my own forum to do to The Coli what The Coli did to SOHH when them servers crash.
