That guy who dances on the stairs at games and throws t shirts out to the crowd in between breaks is doing the same thing at the OKC game. I thought he was just our guy.........

#wetheinjured got this. Bring on the Cavs and refs! I have to admit I thought the officiating was going to be a lot worse this series though.

Im going with OKC in 6 against the GSW's... They are too potent, Russ will outplay Steph IMO

That being said, if we SOMEHOW pull out a horsehoe from our butts and beat the Cavs, we would have HCA against OKC... damn son

Im getting WAAAAY ahead of myself here though

i honestly dont know how anyone that has been following the nba this season can pick anyone over the warriors at this point. i understand people not wanting them to win, i dont understand people thinking that certain teams are actually better than them. the warriors have always been the team to beat and will continue to be the favourites until proven otherwise. there is no other team out there that has proven themselves to be better. the only way the warriors lose is if stephen curry suddenly loses his mojo kyle lowry style... but stephen curry has proven over and over and over again that his elite shooting is the norm, and 1 or 2 bad games are aberrations.

Majority of the experts picked the spurs. looks like theyre about to lose.

thats what i mean though, i have no idea where this is coming from. well i do, but my point is how baffling it is that "analysts" and "experts" and general fans of the game still just cant recognize the better teams... its like people saying that miami was the favourite over toronto, like wtf are you basing this on? toronto has been the better team all season.

To be fair the Spurs were 2-1 against the warriors. They also had an amazing regular season with 67 wins, despite sitting their starters on several occasions. The Spurs were also my pick, I just believed the better coaching and ability to adjust in a 7 game series would take them over the top.

I hope the Phantom calls will be kept to a minimum seeing as how okc advanced and I'm sure NBA would like to show ecf game 1 with LeBron in to the masses ASAP.

People thought the Heat would walk over the Raptors considering how they ugly they looked against the Pacers. Well the Raptors are up 3-2. Now people say that the Cavaliers will walk over the winner of this series. Well, if its the Raptors, even if they dont win, I just have this feeling that the Raptors will at least make it ugly and difficult for the Cavaliers, its what they do.


Cavs are legit contenders along with GSW, SAS, OKC. You are delusional if you think the Raptors can even sniff Cleveland's ass in a series. Miami might have had a chance to knock the door if Chris Bosh was in the equation, but once Bosh was out of the mix, they were no more than pretenders at that point and were very beatable. Their series with the Bobcats was ugly too. Miami was not impressive coming into this series at all.

And then there was 5...


All eyes are on us now, just win this one so we can start game 1 on Sunday and have as many fans travel down to Cleveland on a weekend. We'll take over the place.

Where did YOUR delusion come from that Miami would stand a chance even with Bosh? Miami was pretty mediocre all season WITH Bosh. I think you're just hearing all the media pundits say that Miami would be able to challenge Cleveland. Two words: Lebron James. Giving Tyler Johnson mins and adding Joe Johnson from buyouts does nothing for them.
