NBA Championship Predictions

[ny325]

Wow... Curry just continues to shoot the three so far behind the line. Warriors are enjoyable to watch. Unlike my NY Bricks.

Bandwagon?

More like you don't know basketball.. Putting LAC over GSW..

[ny325]

Omg. Clippers, no way.

[HyeWarrior]

I really want to see a 7 game series between OKC and GS. I don't care which limp dick Eastern team makes the finals. Western playoffs are always more entertaining.

[ny325]

Agree. Spurs, or Okc will be entertaining.

Keep hugging those curry nuts
The clippers match up better against gsw than okc playing hero ball
At the end of the day it won't matter either way, since it'll be SA over cavs in the finals anyways

Dubs made fools of the Spurs....and because I'm a Knicks fan I usually root for the Spurs by default because I've always loved the big fundamental and I am amazed by how well they play as a team year after year. They are a model franchise that will forever be a pinnacle in the NBA.

....and yeah while the Clippers "match up", they can't hang for an entire series.

Clipps are the biggest entitled group I have ever seen. They don't have the talent to beat the Dubs, and until they do you can't say otherwise.

Did you watch the Miami/GSW game last night? That's why nobody will beat them. Because when you don't have Steph, you have Klay. And when you don't have Klay, you have Draymond. ANd when you don't have Draymond, you have a system that encourages motion, fluidity and team basketball. And everyone on that team can defend.

If you don't enjoy watching the dubs I feel sorry for you. Their team (and Steph) is unlike anything we've seen in the NBA, period. You are literally watching a player who could possibly go down as the best shooter in NBA history. And all you care about it bandwagon this, bandwagon that.

I am appreciative of the game and its players. I don't apologize for being a Knicks fan my entire life. But instead of going to sulk every time the Knicks miss the playoffs, I actually find a rooting interest in the playoffs because I love basketball.

So take your bandwagon and kick rocks buddy.

[HyeWarrior]

So you just admitted to bandwagoning lol?

Huh? I'm a Knicks fan. And I like good basketball. The Warriors and Spurs are both good basketball teams. So I very much enjoy watching them. WTF is it with you people and bandwagons.

I was a fan of the Saints way before Brooks was throwing TDs to Joe Horn. But I was happy when we got Reggie Bush and suddenly everyone was a Saints fan.

Being a Knicks fan has been torture for the past 15+ years, but believe me if and when they ever get to the finals, I will be thrilled to see others jumping on board even if they haven't suffered like me.

I invite people to bandwagon on my hometown teams. I've never enjoyed basketball, but my friends have always made me watch it. Up until 2-3 years ago the Warriors were what I was watching by default, these days I'm watching because they are so goddamn entertaining.

Last nights game was a nail biter, but then you see Curry and Thompson keep the Warriors in the game with incredibly clutch shooting and the Heat reaction is like: how the fuck are we supposed to defend that?

My dad, who has never liked basketball, has even started to watch because that old man can't help but be entertained by how fun it is to watch them play their brand of basketball. Bandwagoners just needed the media to help them be alerted to a team that is worthy of their attention.

Last night was crazy. I remember when Curry was a perpetual ankle risk, I always hoped he would get it together but I never fathomed he'd be this good AND not have any other issues with the ankle. And to think the Knicks were about to take him right after the GSW pick.......

But yeah that's why they are fun to watch, because its incredible how effortlessly they drain shots from all over the floor. Inconceivable

[HyeWarrior]

Don't get me wrong, they're a blast to watch and I really hope they break the Bulls record, but I wouldnt call myself a GS fan

I have a couple friends in the Bay who knew absolutely nothing about basketball up until last year. You should see them now. Curry jerseys, GS license plate frames, etc. So pathetic.

I want Durant and Westbrook to get a ring together. (And then maybe come to LA together lol)

What will get on my nerves is something like a guy who talks shit about a team his whole life, then they start winning and suddenly he's a super fan. I saw that a lot during the Giants run in 2010, suddenly a whole lot of Dodger/A's fans in the bay were wearing the black and orange acting as though they had never been anything but a fan of the Giants.

Dubs, Dubs, & more Dubs!

ESPN had a great video on how Curry reinvented himself because of all of the ankle injuries he was having. It was really fascinating (and far too short) to see how evolved from being constantly injured to the only one in the MVP race.

i didnt realize anyone besides golden state and steph curry were actually playing this year.

[Ali Shiralian]

Sorry but the Cavs are going to win it all this year...

Spurs v GS in WCF = GS wins
Cavs v Raptors in ECF = Cavs win

GS win NBA title in 5

Living here in NC, I had the opportunity to watch Curry in many Southern Conference games against good (not great) talent during his time at Davidson.

Kid was just as amazing then to.
