Ballmer's not even in tech which is the sad part. Dude got lucky he was brought onto the Microsoft wagon in its beginning stages. Fuck Bill Gates for making this douche bag rich. I'm obviously not a big Ballmer fan.

And then more rest and a cupcake. LA isnt even a playoff team without Blake. The can rest KD the entire series, must be nice

I mean, hasn't it been that way for Lebron the last 3 Seasons?

Getting out of the West won't be an issue unless the Warriors play the Spurs in the WCF.

But, I agree.

If they play the Clippers, the Starters won't need to play passed the halfway point of the 2nd quarter.

It's gonna be a fucking massacre.

I wouldn't call the Jazz or Clippers a cupcake by any stretch. I also totally disagree about the Clippers not being a playoffs team without blake. They're not a 4 seed without Blake but they are a playoffs team. Both of these ended up with the same amount of wins as the Cavs and Raptors did and they did it in a much tougher conference and dealing with a lot of injuries to key players. Clippers are probably a 55 win team and 3rd seed out West if CP didn't go down and miss 14 straight games from mid Jan til late Feb.

Calling a 50+ team in the west a cupcake is just hilarious.

Right.

The Clippers without Blake are as good as any team the Cavs will face in the East.

To call either of these teams a cupcake just because the Warriors are likely to finish them off in 5 games is a joke. The Warriors are a great team and can beat just about every team in the playoffs in 5 games or less.

Utah can present a lot of challenges to the Warriors because they do a great job of forcing teams to play their style of basketball.

Warriors were 4th in pace of play while Utah was dead last. If Utah can play at the pace they like, that is a huge advantage for them. They're a top 3 defensive team so if they force the Warriors to play at their pace and play top level defense then that will be interesting.

A 50+ team without their 2nd best player. Even with Blake they take GS what 6 games max. The Jazz are more of a threat to the W's at this point. GS would most likely sweep LA. It might not be a cupcake but a team wothout their 2nd option isnt going to be a threat. Plain and simple

I want Utah to win but I feel bad for Paul, either he is injured or someone is on this team and if that doesnt happen they just underachieve. Paul would have to score 40+ against the W's for them to even have a slight chance to win the series IMO

Fuck @mick7-1961 in his over-sized dome....for that Celtics win and covering the spread....

With Blake, they take the Warriors to a game 4 max...lol

Maybe 5.

If Kerr/Brown sits all his starters.

Dude, the Jazz and Spurs could take the Warriors to hard game 7's and it still won't help the Cavs in the Finals.

Your only hope is to pray for multiple injuries.

I'm not trolling.

I want the Warriors to lose more than anyone.

Well, except maybe @WiggyRuss , @TJL , Westbrook and OKC fans.

But, it's not gonna happen.

They have too much fire power and can lock your ass down on D.

I don't think its a given either way for the Clippers without Griffin. He's a good player but I predicted injuries several years ago because of how physical he is. I think they would be fighting for the last playoff spot

The Spurs without a doubt could and I actually have them beatin the W's, gonna be tough. The Jazz could take them 6 maybe, just not sure at this point though. Sorry to say but I think without Blake the Clip could be swept by GS, it sucks bc with Blake I think they had a legit shot if their team is playing more as a team.

Why in God's name would you trust the Clippers?

You did this to yourself...lol
