Dirtybird#11 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Congrats to the fans of all teams that made the postseason! Yall earned it. Now let's talk some bball. WEST MATCHUPS1.Golden State Warriors vs 8.New Orleans Pelicans2.Houston Rockets vs 7. Dallas Mavericks3.Los Angeles Clippers vs 6.San Antonio Spurs4.Portland Trail Blazers vs 5.Memphis GrizzliesEAST MATCHUPS1.Atlanta Hawks vs 8.Brooklyn Nets2.Cleveland Cavaliers vs 7.Boston Celtics3.Chicago Bulls vs 6.Milwaukee Bucks4.Toronto Raptors vs 5.Washington WizardsSome good matchups in there. I think the Bucks could give CHI a run for their money and I'll definitely be tunin into some of those Mavs/Rockets games. In all I think the finals will be Hawks vs Grizzlies, but idk the victor... The Grizz are tough to beat especially against jump shooting teams because they pride theirselves on paint scoring and great defense. Anyway can't wait for Saturday! Go Hawks! Let's bring a championship to the ATL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtybird#11 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Yup. Time for the Hawks to prove they are forreal.Indeed I think we can get to the ECF. I mean the Nets aren't really a tough task and I'm not really afraid of the struggling Raptors or the Wiz that we almost beat with our JV team...

saints4life25 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 You really can't sleep on anyone from the West. Pelicans are the easiest out, but it's hard to count out anyone with a player like AD. He took the game over late last night. Rockets have Harden and Dwight. Dallas is so efficient offensively. Clips with CP3 and Griffin. Memphis plays tough grind it out basketball. The Spurs are the Spurs. There won't be a boring playoff match up out West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then how many did Wade have? and who joined whose team again? Who had a Finals MVP before Lebron came and who didn't?

saints4life25 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 This is how I know you aren't a knowledgeable NBA fan if you are being serious.Well, not necessarily. While I've said Wade is a great player, there's no doubt that he was carried during the regular season. His days of rest. Constantly missing games. Let's also not act like the Heat went from 1 seed to battling for the 8th seed before Boshs injury happened. That team was great because of Bron.

Dirtybird#11 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 how many rings did Lebron have before he came to the Heat? And then how many did Wade have? and who joined whose team again? Who had a Finals MVP before Lebron came and who didn't?Who exactly did Lebron have in Cleveland in the 1st place? Varejao? Not much of a supporting cast... And you can't do it on your own. If that was the case OKC would've made the playoffs this season. And everyone knows whose team it was... It was The king's team. If it wasn't his then I'm pretty sure MIA wouldve retained some of their better role players that left. Like Allen,Miller,Jones,etc. But instead they went and joined James in Cleveland. Don't let your Homerism blind you.... Lebron was the face of MIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints4life25 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 how many rings did Lebron have before he came to the Heat? And then how many did Wade have? and who joined whose team again? Who had a Finals MVP before Lebron came and who didn't?All of those questions have completely circumstantial answers. LeBron never played on a team as talented as the Heat in 06. Now, Wade carried them in the Finals, no doubt. But that team was much better than any Cavs team. Bron may have went to Miami, but after that first yet, there was no doubt who's team that was. Bron had 2 MVPs and 2 Finals MVPs while there. Wade didn't have any. Sounds like you're angry Bron left rather than being thankful for 4 straight Finals.

You had Chalmers putting up 20+ in playoff games to help.Miller goes out and hits 20+ 3'sThe rotation of help is what helped Miami winWade helped but that dude was injured ALOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Yes I did. And I believe it. There's really no arguing what they tougher conference is. The Pels would have won 50+ playing an East schedule.That's not really thumping my chest though. I'm just proud of the fight the team showed this year. The injuries piled up and they just kept grinding. Showed a lot for a young team. Whether they get crushed in the first round of not, they had a great season to get where they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
