Thx 4 for the detail, I follow Orlando but those guys fucking sucked shit this season, and most likely will again the next, and the one after that too

Anyways, should be interesting, I don't expect the Lakers to get further than the 1st round and of course I exect Miami to make it to the finals, but I would much rather and hope for the Thunder to win the championship because they deserve it

[KW]

I take back what I said, I think ill be rooting for the Clippers, CP3...Blake...and that funny goofy lookin nigga with the cross eyes...they've been ballin hard!

[H.O.V.A.]

I'm rooting for the Thunder, but honestly their best chance at winning a championship is if they don't play Miami haha.

So far these first-round games have been boring.

It's really hard to say who's gonna be facing Miami next round, but even if the Bulls get past the first round I don't think they'll pair up with Miami well simply because of the injury bug (regarding Noah, not Rose). It sucks because Miami's gonna have such an easy road to the championship but hey, it happens.

miami is on a tear, Lebron is better than last year, Wade is better than last year. PLus they got Allen to shoot 3's which they lacked last year.

Its just too bad for the Bulls cause they got a great team when healthy. But these past two years they've been so unlucky.

I just hope SPurs dont make it to finals. ALways hated that team.

Best finals would be

Miami vs Clippers/thunder

and for next year I'dlike to see a kobe vs lebron final (one can only hope)

haha this is where a problem arises.

If Oklahoma City and Miami meet in the finals again (which looks like it'll happen), OKC would just get swept again, just like how they got swept in the regular season. Miami and OKC are similar in how they're built but Miami's just the smarter team, and they'll make you pay if you leave their shooters wide open. OKC doesn't do a good job defending teams that move the ball well like Miami (and you could see that they had difficulty defending the Rockets in game 2 because of that). Spurs are best equipped to beat Miami and while OKC and the Clippers are better equipped to beat the Spurs, both teams can't beat the Heat. Miami's repeating either way

I hope anyone but the Heat wins. Don't care who.

Not gonna happen unfortunately.

Also Westbrook is out for the playoffs, a HUGE blow to OKC.

also forgot my predictions lol. too late but...

miami in 4

indiana in 5

chicago in 5

new york in 4

okc in 6

la in 7

clips in 6

denver in 7

[cant]

NY got this over Boston. If the Knicks play the Heat, Knicks will squash them.

You think LA Lakers are going to win 4 in a row with all those injuries to their team? They got murdered last night. I can agree with the rest though.

[KW]

I think @ this point, LAC are the only real contestants to match up to Miami's standard, unlike CHI & OKC with their front man PG'S out, floor general. I don't see much hope on their end.

Yeah in our dreams.

Im not saying NY is gonna make it to the finals or anything, just that over Boston & Miami its a sure win.

Nah those were my initial predictions coming to the playoffs. I thought the Lakers were gonna play inspired basketball after kobe went down, plus the spurs are pretty banged up. But as you can see my prediction was far from the truth lol. Doesn't look like any of my initial predictions are gonna come through outside of Miami and New York.

NY and Indiana both play well against Miami, it just sucks that the Heat are only gonna play one of them because of how the bracket's set up.
