the clippers are not getting past the second round. NBA finals will be Heat vs Lakers, or Heat vs OKC. The Lakers are going to figure it out soon especially since Nash is back. If they play the Heat, the Lakers will win. If OKC play in the finals, they will lose again. Regular season wins is def different from playoffs. When a team will have all the time to study tapes on chris paul and clippers for 4 straight games. All you gotta do is double cp3, keep griffin away from the paint and let jamal crawford and butler shoot away. They aint passing the 2nd round
Woops I meant to say that the Clippers won't make it to the Finals. Of course they'll make the playoffs.
OKC vs NYK. The losing team is gonna get reamed for not keeping their "star" player in the off-season.
There's no way that the Knicks are knocking off Miami. Let's take a hard look at the facts. The Heat have 3 of the best players in the league right now. They have proven that they have what it takes to win. The Knicks, on the other hand, basically only have one real superstar (Melo), since Stat is always injured. Also, Melo may be good in the regular season but in the playoffs he almost always produces a first round exit. Also, the Knicks may seem to be doing well now because they are playing small ball. But this is the regular season. In the playoffs, small ball doesn't work because you have to face up to legitimate presences at the Center and Power Forward positions.
What makes you think Lakers could beat the Heat? And why do you assume OKC would lose to the Heat again? The Heat won in 5, but the only dominating win was game 5 blowout. The other 4 games were very competitive, all easily could have been different games if for not a few different plays going the wrong way.
People taking the Clippers too lightly. They have the 2nd best second in the NBA and their offense and defense rating are both in the top. 12 game win streak and counting, and against a much stronger schedule than the streak OKC pulled off. They've beaten the Spurs 2x as well as Miami already previous to the streak. Barnes is playing terrific and Odom is starting to round into shape as well. Their bench is no joke, starters been sitting out most 4th quarters this streak.
Kobe is not losing another championship, he wants to catch MJ so bad. He's older now, he's not letting another one slip away. The problem with okc is that their best player is not the one with the big cajones on the team. If Durant had as much fire as Westbrook, i will pick them to win it all, but alas he is who he is.
