    It's really going to happen, isn't it?

    ECF: Miami > Boston
    WCF: Lakers > Denver
    Championship: Lakers > Miami

    LFG!

    Very dangerous not closing out the series. They're young, the 2nd seed and we gave away game 2 already when Memphis was playing atrociously. Lets hope everyone shows up to play Friday and we put an end to this.

    What’s crazy is it’s still possible to have an LA - Bos Finals this year.

    I hope not. Dont want Curry to get 5. Some already put him as top 10 with 4 rings. I want anyone but the warriors to win, well except the C Bags.

    decent chance. still think boston takes them in a rematch, though. if boston had brogdon last year, they win that series, imo.

    I don't feel like this is Golden State's year. Feels like a dynasty hanging on, but doesn't have quite enough oomph to make it happen. Their road record is abysmal. If they win, all the series are pretty much going to be 6 or 7 games. At least they have experience on their side, but they are also not spring chickens

    this team might not even make it out of the first round. let's relax a bit

    and unfortunately, i don't see miami beating boston. the heat love to tease people in the playoffs and then proceed to fold when it matters most

    The sole fact, that we'll see either C Bags or Sixers in the Finals, makes me wanna puke.

    I'm not even going to consider who we might meet in the finals, gotta get through Memphis first.. jobs far from over.

    Bane and Morant are huge problems, we're a weak performance from A.D. away from a game 7 in Memphis.

    it is a great response. only one team wins, and there are other successes. i'm pleased as punch we're even playing competitively in this series, much less ahead. if we lose, i'll be bummed, but the season was about as good as i could have hoped given where we were in september.

    He's coping: sorry the context matters.
    Yes for teams like OKC, the Kings, the season will be considered a success without a ring.
    For the Bucks - nope. This isn't a process thing here - this is a team capped out, with an aging roster built to win now. The process has been done to get you to this point

    Kobe would have said "Yes".... and that's the correct answer.

    I have Warriors and C Bags in the Finals with the C-bags winning in seven. I don’t want either, but I’m convinced they are the best teams in their respective conferences.
    If we had 2020 LeBron, along with a better coach, I would expect us to be there and to win it all.
