It's pretty funny that it's like Heat media day on ESPN, but I can't find anything about what Brandon said to start this whole charade. he said the bucks will win in 6 games | ||

By far my favorite NBA reporter. I mean, outside of the Heat/Bucks and GS/Denver do you see clear-cut blowouts? Games can always be close with the overall series score not reflective of it as well. | ||

Apparently Denver sucks at defending 3pt shooting and that's what GSW is best at. I feel like HOU/OKC is far more likely to be a blowout than GSW/DEN | ||

I feel that GS is going to be just destroyed in the paint with/without Bogut. That and I'm just really not sold on GS. I think they get a game off DEN and that might be it, at best. | ||

Seems pretty reasonable. You can't expect your opponent to go into a series thinking they'll lose.

Even if steph curry goes off over and over we've seen that it's not enough sometimes to beat a good team. Or the refs | ||

As to GSW/Den , I had them, and actually still do going to the conference Finals. With Gallo, Faried and Lawson healthy OKC was going to have an enourmously tough task dealing with them in anything less than 7 games. Golden State just isn't good enough to keep up with em. I still think Denver beats them in 5 unless Steph goes super nova. | ||

If KG isn't 100% Boston should be getting swept. If that series goes past 5 I'd consider it a major upset. The Celtics have no shot and should struggle mightily every game. If KG is close to 100% 6 games should decide it. Without him its going to be blowout city. | ||

The two toughest series to predict imo, as I actually give BOS a fighting chance and don't think Jordan will cut it verse Gasol and Z-Bo. Grizzlies lack floor spacing though, and they can put whoever on Tony Allen on Defense, or simply pack the paint. Memphis is gonna have a hard time getting into the paint and their jumpshooting is perhaps the worst out of all the playoff teams. ZBo has been cold lately as well so there's no guarantees that he'll be able to show up for the series. | ||

I watched all the Denver/GS games during the regular season and they were all pretty close except for 1 I believe. Warriors should have won their first game at home. Klay missed 2 straight FTs, where 1 would have made it a 4 pt game with like 5 seconds left. Denver hit a 3 and won in OT | ||

They live and die by the 3-pt shot even at times when they could just straight up beat a team with proper offensive execution, it is like they are addicted or something. I think the physicality of the playoffs really suits Boston's style. Jeff Green is the difference maker in this series, along with the health of KG. We all know Melo is going to take 25+ shots and score 40+ points, the question is how difficult can Jeff Green make it for him. At the end of the day if NYK shoots well from 3 this is going to be blowout, if Boston can figure out how to close down shooters without giving Melo too much space this should be a good series. You serious? not only is that an over simplification of their style, but what style is supposed to be "proper" and work? | ||
