Playoff Prediction Thread

Yeah should have been the outcome of the 2018 WCF's. So we agree lol

Sure we agree. Kiss the rings lol

 

[dtgold88]

Nope. Ever watch the Bucks play?

Yes, I have. Also seen GS play and they're pretty good. GS probably better and think this Milwaukee team worse than the 2018 Cavs and GS Fnals' teams.

 

[msgkings322]

Definitely no exception. In almost every single series an important player gets injured for the opposing team. It is definitely more than a little luck lolz. Still gotta win the games though

Warriors no more lucky than most other title teams. 2015 maybe the exception. 2016 plenty of Cavs luck. Every title, some luck for the victors. Every one.

Uh, nope. This Bucks team way better than 2018 Cavs.

That would be the Cavs' team that lost 1 game in the postseason that year before the Finals? "way better"?

Is there an Extreme Club here?

edit - my bad...meant the 2016-17 Cavs, though still think extreme calling Bucks "way better"

No I meant last year's Cavs team. But the 2017 Cavs team which looked so good in the East playoffs got destroyed in the Finals, even after 12-0 to get there. The Warriors team that year, first with Durant, was not going to be denied. No luck needed that year

I guess we'll see, I agree the Bucks likely to make the Finals and we'll see about any sweeps then

"Destroyed"? GS had 2 blowouts, Cavs had 1. Other games could have gone either way but GS won them.

No doubt destroyed last year is fair.

Meh, semantics
Warriors won in 5 and were never at risk of not winning the series. Gentleman's sweep

fucking asshole Korver misses a wide open 3 to basically take the game --- if he hits that its Game 6 in CLE....but thems the breaks...

Last year was destroyed. Korver hits that shot in Game 4 and that series is much different.

No, doesn't mean GS got lucky at all. They outplayed the Cavs. But if one shot makes that much difference destroyed seems extreme (as usual).

beat me to it...and agree. They outplayed us, but destroyed?

Didn't Houston shoot like 3-88 from the perimeter later in the series? Seriously don't recall and don't feel like looking...didn't Iggy miss that game?

They shot 7-44 from downtown in game 7 including 27 straight misses....and lost by 9. No Chris Paul, 13-22 from the line, that shitty ass night of shooting, and they lost by 9. If Houston could have gotten by in that game they probably win it all, but we'll never know. They did what they did.

They are definitely the only team out West the Ws have to worry about. But if the Ws are at full strength for that series, they should win in 6 or 7

[jontaejones]

What I would LIKE to see...

Nuggets - Thunder

Bucks - Celtics
Raptors - Nets

Conf Finals

I think the city of Toronto would explode if that happened. Obviously, the chances are zero to none...

Pretty darn close. Of course this is what I WANTED to see, not what I would have put any amount of $ on...
