Boogie Cousins to the Pelicans
Cousins and Davis together could spell DANGER in the Western Conference

New Orleans is 1-3 in the Boogie/Brow era. they're gonna need to learn to use them together and tie together an impressive win streak if they want to call this experiment a success, because I am pretty sure Cousins will move on to greener pastures of they don't at least have the playoffs in view soon.

Nothing new under the sun, looks like we're gonna have Cleveland against either Golden State or San Antonio again.

Agreed.

My only other prediction is that the Clippers wont make it past the Jazz. One of my Bosses thinks that Doc Rivers is done for after this season. I think the whole team is done for since anybody relevant has a player option.

These playoffs are painfully boring.
I have decided to take up working out again and basically just fucking avoiding them. I have not watched but two games yet.

The draft lottery is fucking rigged.
The craziest scenario would be the Celtics, Lakers and Sixers at 123
Celtics being the #1 seed and the Lakers ONLY losing their pick to the Sixers if it fell outside of the top 3...

... and it fucking happens.

Embiid was hilarious throughout that whole thing. He had no idea what was going on up until he realized they got number 3.

All this talk of “The Warriors are the first team to enter the finals with a perfect 12-0 record.”
This neglects the fact that the first round changed from best-of-5 to best-of-7 in 2003. Those of us who were paying attention remember the 2000-01 Lakers sweeping through Portland, Sacramento and San Antonio (the last time this actually happened to Popovich, for the record). The most any team COULD have won in the first three rounds before 2003 was 11 games. Crown them as only the second team to sweep the first three rounds, but don’t do like ESPN does LeBron and pull obscure bullshit out of the air and call it a “record.”
Yes, this is to discount what they have done against two creampuffs and a San Antonio team without its best player.

I really enjoyed the regular season, but these playoffs have been a huge disappointment.

Warriors have faced 0 adversity and are going in to the Finals as high favorites, just as expected.

The two MVP favorites have had terrible Playoff showings.

Very few competitive series's, only one's I can think of are Utah/Clippers and Wizards/Celtics.

Speaking of Wiz/C's, the Wizards completely blew that which is a shame cause I am a huge Wall fan.

Overall, just hoping for a great final. If the Cavs can somehow manage to win again than LeBron has a real case for GOAT. Also would love for JR to get another ring.

I am having a hard time fathoming why Boston didn't at least TRY to put fouls 5 & 6 on LeBron, what with a whole second half to do it.
I have a hard time understanding WHY the fuck they kept shooting jumpers and missing while still ahead in the game.
I REALLY wish I could hear what the call from the league to the game officials to discuss LeBron's first half foul trouble sounded like.

Was it rust?
Was the Warriors D really that good?
Why in the FUCK were the Cavaliers defenders running out of KD's way on the way to all those dunks?
(note, I know the answer to this one... it is still stupid considering that closing out on shooters on a team of shooters leaves an uncontested lane and higher percentage shot)
We're getting the finals matchup we expected, but we were not expecting blowouts of the best player in the universe.

It was the turnovers 16-4, Warriors being the only team to get 4 or less turnovers in a finals game EVER.

Try 20...
LeBron had 8 by himself. That was very much uncharacteristic of his game too. GS scored 17 points off of those alone. Assuming less of a backswing (i.e. Cleveland actually converting some of the live ball possessions they instead turned over), I still don't think this game is decided by fewer than 10 points.
Tristan Thompson is going to have to break up with that Kardashian or they're getting swept.

I don't know about the picks, mostly confused why the cavs are trying to outscore the warriors. If they want a chance scores gotta be under 100

The Cavaliers tore their ass trying to score with the Warriors.
The situation can ONLY get worse when Curry is flinging 30-footers and turning back to get on defense before it even goes down, THEN Klay finds his rhythm.
I am beginning to think that LeBron is a bit rattled too, every time they got close, GS went on an damn near effortless run. They have no offense when LeBron isn't on the floor except Kyrie and Golden State is apparently willing to take that so long as no one else gets hot.
This is not at ALL looking like last year. If Cleveland doesn't win game three, this series will not make it to six games.

No way the Cavs can play small and expect to keep the Warriors under 120. If I'm Cleveland, my adjustment is starting Shumpert in Smith's spot and have him guard Durant. Put LeBron back on Green and put all their defensive focus into slowing down Curry, Green and Thompson. Durant will go off on Shumpert but he's the Cavs second best option on him and you have to give up something. Thompson needs to make a bigger impact because they need to play him more so they have at least some rim protection most of the game.

Funny how we're getting the NBA Finals that EVERYONE said we would get as soon as the last ones ended, but it is more of the same ol shit we've watched all playoffs long.

Cleveland can't win trying to play GSW style basketball, 100+ FGA per game isnt gonna help them.

Hahaha you really hate GS! Personally I would love to see GS take it. Clevleland won last year and to be honest while LeBron may be the best player in the Universe? GS deserves this win and has the better team in my opinion.

Scrolling through my FB feed, LeBron Stans are up in arms again...
Alternating between "LeBron has no help" and pussyaching about how Durant had to join the team that beat him in order to win.
Durant is playing at a rate that would damn near give him the series MVP even if the Warriors manage to lose. He got out of a shit situation and into a cherry one that would allow him to win right away. Can't be mad at that.
Meanwhile, LeBron is playing with the same help he had last season. Last season, y'know, when they WON the championship? Perhaps his support system wasn't so great after all.

I was reading an article today opining that this Warriors team is better than expected and that the NBA's league-wide adjustment to that will eventually get us better basketball overall, but not before they peel off one hell of a run.

Lol at "LeBron has no help"

This was one of the arguments I saw on one of the debate shows yesterday (or it might have been NBA The Jump) when someone argued that LBJ has no help and someone else pretty much refuted that "you make it seem like Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are scrubs"

That and LBJ was pretty much gifted Kyle Korver for peanuts and was able to bolster their roster by signing all these coveted solid veterans/role players mid-season (Derrick Williams, Deron Williams, AND Andrew Bogut who broke his leg but they were able to turn him into Larry Sanders) like it was nothing without other contenders even being able to snag one of those guys.
