A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

OKC and Cleveland are actually 2 of the most boring teams in the playoffs for me. Their style of basketball is just ugly.

You are underestimating Lebron James, he's half checked out in Cleveland but if you gave him a roster he could win with he's still be the scariest player in the playoffs.


The Lakers wouldn't be a team that could put together a roster like that for him.


I agree there, I think he should go to Philly or Houston

Utah is so much more fun and organized to watch than okc don't care about big names. 2nd round would suck without LeBron who been to finals 7 years in row? Lmao

OKC actually shot the ball well for the game. The difference looks to be the rebounding advantage for Utah.

What does George bring to the Lakers? The current Lakers with George would be getting smashed in the booty by Ricky, Mitchell & Gobert even worse than this Thunder team with him on it. He's just not some game-changing talent. Also has a real crappy attitude.


If he goes there alone they aren't winning anything but if Lebron carries him it's a different story.

Having zo pg and ingram at 1-2-3 would be a defensive force for yrs to come. All we need is a defensive center and were legit.

I won't lie for the casual NBA fan, outside of PHI, the East is probably gonna be of very little interest without LeBron should he lose to IND but the series should be hella competitive.

Is this supposed to be irony? You do realize that the Pacers (led by George) made back-to-back ECFs in 12-13 and 13-14, right?


He’s trolling , probably a clipper fan

The key is Adams staying in the game, if he can avoid foul trouble it's a different game.

I'm not sure the casual fan is ready to see Joe Ingles and Bojan Bogdanovic in the playoffs rather than LeBron James and Russell Westbrook

Utah can maybe win 2 games against Houston but the series just does't generate excitement.

I don't know why OKC fans are claiming that it would be a sweep versus Houston, considering Minnesota played well in Game 1 and won in Game 3 tonight.

Jazz look a real team. Okc never meshed. At the same time though, it's not easy playing with russ. If im looking to build a contender, i would steer clear of russ.
In reference to our title winning year

Meh, i mean, he has to face Rudy and Favors, he needs to be agressive to defend the paint.
And the Jazz are going to attack him of course.
