2016 NBA Playoffs

[Yoda]

Well it starts today with Raptors to see if they can get through the first round this time. DeRozan and Lowry talk like they're ready this year but can they put it together for a whole series against the Pacers? I think this might be the year.

Favourites have to be The Warriors with some guy named Curry. Pretty tough for any team in this league to beat them in a 7 game series.

Other Favourites:
Cavs
Spurs
Thunder
Clippers

Anyone else would be a huge long shot.
Although I think everyone is a long shot against Warriors.

First Round Matchups:

Western Coference:
(1) Warriors vs (8) Rockets
(2) Spurs vs (7) Grizzlies
(3) Thunder vs (6) Mavs
(4) Clippers vs (5) Trailblazers

Eastern Conference:
(1) Cavs vs (8) Pistons
(2) Raptors vs (7) Pacers
(3) Heat vs (6) Hornets
(4) Hawks vs (5) Celtics

I think for the most part 1st round will be a formality.

Basketball?

What a waste of time that season is. It's either spurs warriors vs cavs. The finals always go through LeBron

There are four, maybe five teams in the west better than any team in the east.

 

[The Franchise]

Cavs to win it.

You could say the same about the Baseball with Yankees and RedSox in late 90's and currently the Giants.
Or Lakers and Bulls not long ago.
Every sport has a dynasty type team for a few years. I will say the NBA seems to have the most.

Also you could say that about Campobassoo Athletico in the VMSL.

I surely didn't see the Raptors taking 1 game in this series, let alone 2! Lowery and DeRozan can't afford to take a night off though

It's pretty remarkable how long a team can go w/o committing a foul.

 

[Yoda]

That was a bit ridiculous. What was it? A quarter and a half? Ridiculous.
Standing ovation for the first foul was well deserved.

I actually started to think they were going to totally sway the game in Cavs favour for a bit with some of the calls and non calls

 

[Regs]

I *think* they were saying it was almost a complete game where a shooting foul was called third Q game 3 to sometime third Q last night

 

[The Franchise]

I did enjoy the Raptors centre wagging his finger on a block like the Hall of Famer Motumbo

Fun to watch for sure.

 

[The Franchise]

Raptors, Jays and next years Leafs.....be fun to be part of this city right now.

Cheap plug there
