Atlanta just went up 3-2 on Boston.
I believe it will be another Cavs-Atlanta Series and we can all listen to Al Horfords sister complain about everything Cleveland, Delly on Twitter.

I'm glad I'm not a Houston fan. What a bunch of overpaid quitters.

That Houston team is a disgrace to professional sports in general. The FO better blow that up.

Getting interesting.
The Cavs are playing at a much higher level of late.
OKC stole one in San Antone but, won't beat the Spurs in the series.
Don't buy the optimistic hype on Curry's health. He has only taken standstill shots and did not practice with the team today. The big news was that he increased his weight room participation. He's been ruled out of Satirday's game. The rust is nearing corrosion. Portland is a very good team at home and knows how to beat the W's. If the Warriors finish off the Blazers they'll face a Spurs team with a discombuolated Curry.

I could not care less about the MVP debate, it's because the playoffs are so boring something needs discussed I suppose.
NBA playoffs don't start until a road team loses a game in the conference finals.

Spurs showed their age last night. I think OKC can give the Warriors a battle. I'm going with OKC in 6.

A few things:
*Spurs are such a classy group. Wins with class, loses with class. Easier said than done. Much respect for Duncan and company.
*Agree that OKC can give Warriors a battle. Key is Westbrook. If he is truly a top ten player he needs to step up and do what his team needs. That is relentless perimeter defense and smart PG play on offense. The "smart" part may be beyond his reach.
*Refs are starting to call the moving/grabbing screens and shove-offs that the Warriors use to get open threes. That and the recent defensive regression of the Warriors makes them less dominant.
*You can't ask for a better scenario for the Cavs. They are healthy and rested. They will be heavy favorites in the ECF.
*Facing OKC would be nice. We play well against them and would have the homecourt advantage. But I believe this team is constructed well to compete with GS. We have the offensive firepower to stay with them. And we have Shump, Dely and JR to rotate on Curry and Klay defensively when needed. Our rebounding is solid. But what really gives me hope is our lineup for the last 6-8 minutes of the 4th quarter...TT, Love, JR, Kyrie and LeBron. They can run, rebound and score. That leave defense. Kyrie and Love seem to have improved quite a bit on defense. But a reasonably fresh LeBron, who doesn't have to carry the offensive load, can be a defensive monster in crunch time.
Warriors over Thunder in 6 Cavs over Raptors in 5
Cavs over Warriors in 7

Odds are Warriors over Cavs in 6-7 just like last year.
Cavs do have a shot if all stay healthy but I can't see them as favs.
Hopefully theland23 quotes this post in another few weeks and says 'welp' after it too!
