April 9, 201610 yr With Detroit clinching tonight only three spots remain to be claimed, one in the east, two in the west. As of now, it goes as follows: Cavs/Pacers Raptors/Pistons Hawks/Hornets (CP3 to KLove anyone) Celtics/Heat (My favorite first round match-up) Warriors/Jazz Spurs/Mavs Thunder/Blazers (Also interesting) Clippers/Grizzlies Which match-up intrigues you most? Which are you most looking forward to? Did I just ask the same question twice? Will the Rockets supplant the Jazz for the right to be swept by the Dubs? Have the Bulls given up on the 8 in the east?
April 9, 201610 yr I have no hope for the Bulls. Which is too bad because they give the Cavs fits more than anyone else. I'm interested in seeing how the Raptors do and if they can make the ECF. Celtics/Heat will be a lot of fun. Bosh hasn't been ruled out yet either. Thunder/Blazers will be a lot of fun also. I'd love to see the Hornets do well and I don't know why because MJ is a sucka. I like that team though. I think this year's playoffs will be a lot of fun with a couple of surprises. I just haven't figured out what the surprises will be yet. Clippers will lose in round 2 again.
April 9, 201610 yr The only series that matters is Spurs-Warriors. Cavs could maybe beat GS but will get destroyed by SA. JMO, but I like the Spurs to win it all.
April 9, 201610 yr I think the 2nd round and on will be much watch basketball. I expect a lot of sweeps in the first round.
April 9, 201610 yr Author Is anybody gonna bring up that the west has fewer teams above .500 or does that only matter when LeBron is waltzing through the "soft" eastern conference?
April 10, 201610 yr Is anybody gonna bring up that the west has fewer teams above .500 or does that only matter when LeBron is waltzing through the "soft" eastern conference? They do but none is as strong as the top 4 in the west. Only exception is Cleveland
April 13, 201610 yr I know Toronto has been great but I think the Heat are the only team that could possibly challenge the Cats from winning the east. I would like the Heats chances much more of Bosh played though.
April 13, 201610 yr Is anybody gonna bring up that the west has fewer teams above .500 or does that only matter when LeBron is waltzing through the "soft" eastern conference? I think the biggest difference this season is the top 2 in the west have put together record seasons. The tops in the East have lost a combined 50 games, the West: 24 games. Houston is about as dangerous of an 8 seed as you'll ever find.

I just don't particularly trust Harden or Howard in win or go home type games because a lot of times I think they'd rather be at home.
April 13, 201610 yr Clippers. I need them to have a home game the week of the 25th. Trying for my companies suite.
