So who is everyone rooting for? Predictions of who wins round one in how many games?



I'll start us off.

West:

Spurs in 6 (I like both of these teams though and wish Dallas hadn't lost yesterday because I liked their chances against OKC more)

Rockets in 6 (I feel like the Blazers will crumble and Lilard will struggle)

Thunder in 7 (Grizz should be a tough out with how they play and Westbrook being fragile)

Clippers in 7 (I think this will be the most exciting series in the West)

East:

Pacers in 6 (They've been slumping the last half of the season so I can see the Hawks steal a game or two, but they aren't talented enough to take the series)

Bulls in 5 (Could be a sweep, their defense will shut the Wizards offense down)

Heat in 4 (I am a huge Al Jefferson fan but he was hurt yesterday and without him being 100%, he's not as effective and can't feast down low on Miami. Even with him healthy they would still lose in 5, 6 games at the most)

Raptors in 7 (Obv. home town pick for me, haha. Inexperience my ass, if the Raptors can rebound and limit second chance opportunities they can win this, but experience might play a factor in this game, but so will age and health I think. This could go either way and while my brain says Nets, my heart says Raptors. )

This would make the second round:

Spurs vs Rockets

Thunders vs Clippers

Pacers vs Bulls

Heat vs Raptors.

But I'll leave my predictions round by round, haha.

I haven't been paying any attention this year since the Bucks were awful once again. tho at least they were bad enough to get a lottery pick this time and lol wat the Bobcats made it? I'm definitely rooting for them then. Really anyone but the Heat and Clippers

Yeah, surprisingly they did, but it's all because of Al Jefferson. What I find funny is that both Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap led their teams to the playoffs when they were both on the Jazz together. People underestimated them as players and they both helped their teams get to the playoffs, especially Millsap, who people thought the Hawks would suck once Horford went down.

^ and the Nets

GO RAPTORS!

Blazers!

Game 1 was ridiculous. I hope they beat the Rockets.

Also, Damian Lilard made me eat my words in that game, and I'm glad. Dude is clutch.

Go Nets! Cause Celtics aren't in it and KG and Pierce are on Brooklyn. Can't wait for the draft to see what rookie Celtics are getting to make them be good again like the Bobcats

RAPTORS.

Amazing!

of course

So I might be downtown at Maple Leaf Square for game 7 tomorrow. Any chance you gonna be there Raptor?

Too much of a journey for me that early. Plus, I would probably start a fight if we lost so I am going to lock myself inside, haha. Have fun though, I heard it gets crazy.

That'd probably be best. Plus, I think a few idiots might go crazy if we lose, haha. Drinking and losing and bipolar Raptor fans = not good.

I'll see you guys in November. I'm going to go crawl into a dark cave and cry now.

I think I actually hate the Clippers more than the Heat at this point

I think I will die a little inside if its Clippers and Heat in the finals.
