NBA Playoffs 2025 (Poll created for Finals prediction)

[bwgood77]

I don't know who will get the #1 pick and Flagg but I kind of get the feeling it will be the Spurs. Wembanyama/Fox/Flagg that's a nice big 3.

I hope to God it's not the Spurs. They are the main team I don't want to get it. I don't really want Houston to get it either or New Orleans. I wouldn't mind seeing Dallas get it, if it had to be someone in the west.

But really a team like Charlotte or Washington deserve it. They never seem to get the big names though.

To be honest I'm not super interested in the postseason because I think Boston are the favorites to win it all again this season quite handily.

Maybe Cleveland will give them a run for their money and I don't see anyone in the West challenging them either, maybe OKC if I had to choose a Western team to beat Boston?

I think OKC is definitely the best team, however, they are young. It wouldn't shock me if a team like the Lakers beat them. The Lakers played really well down the stretch, and Luka picked OKC apart last postseason. I'd hate it if it was the Lakers/Celtics.

But I hope that doesn't happen. The Clips might give OKC some problems. Harden finally gets to play with a really clutch playoff performer with Kawhi.

I think Boston will beat Cleveland though. Cleveland might be a little better, but Boston has more experience and they know the playoffs, are vets, champions, etc. Seems like Boston should kind of roll through the east. If OKC can get there, they should beat the Celtics....or at least give them hell. If Boston can keep it close they could probably pull out wins, but OKC has the youth, depth, athleticism. But both great defenses with great stars.

Thunder's biggest weakness would be the youth.
A veteran leader playing a rotation role would be immense for them, someone like a Kyle Lowry or CP3 role player who would speak up and bring composure and teach them what other veteran teams would do or plan against them. But talent, skills and depth wise, it's Thunder and Celtics a5 the top tier with Cavs a half tier below unless Garland steps it up as a true leader next to Mitchell.

Not sure how any of yall could like Luka Doncic? Dude is the whiniest player I have ever seen, and he is a T. U. R D

Wolves-Thunder conference finals seems like a good time

Honestly CP3 should go back there.

Nonsense. CP3 will help the Spurs win title within the next 2-3 years. Guaranteed!!!

I like Luka cause he’s white and European. Yes, he whines a lot but a ton of nba players do so. Cant blame Luka for everything, right?

[KdoubleDees23]

Yeah a lot of players whine , but this dude whines every play. He makes shot he whines, he misses shot he whines, someone scores on him or gets a rebound he whines

What happened to playing the game ? I’ve seen him not even go back on defense multiple times !

Sick of this dude

Miami rebuilds:

Dallas gets: KD
Orlando gets: Grayson Allen
Miami gets: Lively, 3 picks (two Dallas / 1 phoenix) + 2 seconds (Orlando)
Suns get: Bam + Bitadze.

Booker
Beal (Gillespie)
Dunn
Bam
Bitadze

Needs refining to make salaries work, but these are the bones.

[lilfishi22]

That's nuts. I didn't think the Cavs would be able to top the 37pt win in G3 but damn....55pt win is 2K numbers

I think this works against us. Given how they've been blown out in epic proportions in G3 and G4 on the way to getting swept, I doubt they seriously think they are a KD away from a deep playoff run.

[bullsaficianado]

Maybe they fire Spo. I doubt it but if they do come to Phoenix my friend.

Rockets are struggling

You jinxed them. Jinxed them!!! Jinx… them.

Steph will get hot and open things up for Butler and the other players on the Warriors.

[SunsRback4Good]

Draymond is a little B—— can’t stand his punk azz.

[Saberestar]

Jimmy Butler with another amazing performance. He wanted to be a Sun so badly...he would have changed everything for us.

Well...it's in the past now. It's gonna be interesting to see if they can win @ Houston. I think its gonna be tough for the Warrios to close the series. Houston is playing well but the Warriors are playing like true contenders IMO.
