Who's gonna claim the coveted title this year? Being from San Antonio, I'm going with my Spurs...
-
I would love a hawks vs lakers finals, my two teams
-
It will probably be King James the Flopper and the Miami Globetrotters.

Literally laughed out loud on this one...

Dey say a series ain't a series until the road team wins a game....thought that the most exciting game was Orlando stealing one from Indiana until the Meltdown in Memphis tonight...Interesting to see how the Bulls make out without D-Rose...Buckling my seat belt and hanging onto my hat for this year's playoffs!
-
Can't believe Memphis let the Clips come back lime that... SMH. I hated to see D-Rose go down like that! Looks like Miami has got the East on lock down now... At least my Spurs won!!!
-
I guess Rondo will get a suspension for that.
-
Go Lakers and Clippers! And what an amazing comeback by the Clips last night. This has been the most exciting year EVER in L.A. basketball history! :D
Oh, and on the NHL side, Go L.A. KINGS!!! O0

My pick was chicago but with d-rose out with an acl injury; I think the heat will take it all in a close series vs the oklahoma city.

Yesterday was not a good day for LA fans...that said I'm looking forward to a presumed Thunder/Spurs conference finals. I see the West Champion winning it all; the remaining East teams are too inconsistent IMO
-
I'm thinking it will be the Thunder in the West but the East is still up in the air. Go Sixers.

As an Angeleno, I can say it wasn't thrilling to watch both teams squander leads, but I never expected either of them to defeat the Spurs and Thunder. In fact, outside of the home-town Lakers and Clippers, I really like the Spurs, and am rooting for them to win it all. Don't want to see the ThunderSonics win it.
Besides in L.A., we have the KINGS!!!! :D O0 :@`
-
My guess is also that the Western Conference Champion will go and win it all, and I believe it will be the OKC Thunder. The Heat have a tough game today...if they win they can surely get it all done, but if they loose another to the Pacers....goodbye
-
Spurs vs pacers finals.....spurs in 5
-
My Spurs look good...BUT...OKC is a viable threat. I really hope they put the Lakers to bed tonite. (sorry LA fans, Clips are on vacay, Lakers are getting ready to join 'em)
As far as the East...up in the air. We'll see soon enough!

Is the NBA still around?

Don't be silly.

Never expected my L.A. teams to advance any further. Knew this once they both won the last series'. It was awesome having two teams in at the same time IN the second round. A never-before in L.A. basketball history.
Pretty cool to have 8 of our 9 pro teams playing at the same time, also something that's never happened before.
-
Yup...Spurs vs. Thunder... Western Conference Finals!!! 8)
-
The Sonics....ooops I mean the Thunder looked pretty good last night.
-
my heart say OKC but my head is telling my the spurs. i dont think the heat will get it done.
-
Spurs win last nite=20 wins in row=2-0 lead over OKC... I'm liking those stats! O0
-
The Spurs and the Heat in the finals.

It was ugly for my Spurs last nite... 82 -102 loss :-[ (SA LEADS 2-1)

After winning 20 games in a row, the streak was bound to end, but I still believe the Spurs are the best team in the NBA and will end up in the finals. They are just too good a team to blow it, unless they implode.
Though I'm a Laker (and Clipper) fan, I really respect (and like) the Spurs - constant winners, 4-time champions (possible a 5th this year), consistency for decades, and the model for sustained success. All from a small, 1 Big-4-league team market. O0
Go SPURS!

Bean Town has made a series in ECF with last nights overtime win 8)
Let's see what the Spurs will do tonite O:O
-
Three weeks ago I said OKC is going to make it...I'm still in the game
-
OKC did it.
should have gone with my heart instead of my head.
-
I tip my cap to the young fellas... That showed that they got the skills as well as heart! Here's to OKC to represent the West and bring home the ring! 8)
-
Well, Miami forces a game 7.....will the East winner become OKC's lunch?
-
Boston blew their oppurtunity (imho) Looks like Stern got what he wanted... An OKC vs. Maimi Championship game O:O
-
The OKC vs Miami NBA Finals is gonna be epic. I think OKC have a better team but I say that the Heat will win in seven. I can't wait.

I am from Seattle. I remember the Sonics taking home the championship in 1979! But I feel robbed! So go Heat for me!

The Thunder will roll in six.

I was waiting for an old SuperSonic fan to chime in... :*))
I'm gonna go with OKC....young guns gonna take it.
-
I will say that there was plenty of fan support here for the Sonics! But the politicians here at that time were whacked! They did not appreciate the value of the team. But while I like a lot of what Starbucks does (I am a former employee), Schultz should have been public about wanting to sell the team. That way a local group could have had a chance to buy the team! Our current politicans are working on a new arena deal. If we ever get the NBA back, sadly it will probably by stealing someone else's team! Sacramento has come up in that conversation!
-
I'm saying OKC in 6 games and here is why.

I thank you in advance if you listen.

I still stand by my prediction on the Miami Heat to win in 7 but it is gonna be tough. I thought that the Heat could at least steal game 1. Durant and Westbrook combined for a great game. LBJ hit his usual 30 pts 9 rebounds. Battier had a good game but DWade didn't show up IMO. LBJ needs Dwade and CB to show up if they want to win. Game 2 is crucial for the Heat.
Btw... just finished listening to your podcast TW. Good job. On a side note, I agree with your assessment on Dwade. He has not been playing like an all-star (don't know why). I respectfully disagree with your OKC prediction but I definitely understand your rationale. That's what I love about sports. O0

I think OKC showed last night they have the ability to easily come from behind, which they also did consistently against the Spurs. The size and length of their starting five clearly caused problems for LeBron and Wade late in the game. Westbrook took over and played like an elite PG when they needed him most in the 4th quarter.
Going to be a great series and I'm sticking to my prediction of OKC in 6.
BTW, teams that win game 1 win the series 72% of the time. O0

LOL! ;)

Series tied at one a piece. Lebron finally got some help. Dwade and CB showed up. Battier did his job on the three point line. It's gonna be a great series. O0

I agree...... YAWN...... the NBA is sort of like hockey but on boards instead of ice. LOOOOOOOOONG and boring seasons.
I LOVE hoops.... but the college variety. I don't think the NBA game is good to watch.
-
So did James foul Durant or what.?
-
Another exciting game last night... Lebron had another great game with 29 points and 14 rebounds and DWade finally showed up and had 25pts, 7 rebounds, 7 assists. Heat take a 2-1 lead in this 7 game series.

Yep...missed last nites game but heard it was good. Even though Miami is up 2-1, they've been there before...and lost...to Dallas. So,still pulling for OKC! 8)
-
OKC made a few inexperience type mistakes and it cost them. Hope they can do better tonight. Shane Battier is becoming a pain in the butt from beyond the arc.
-
Looking to see if OKC can make better in-game adjustments, first with Brooks not putting Durant on LBJ most of the game which is why he is picking up stupid fouls.
OKC has to play this game as if it's a game 7. They have to win!!
-

Agreed, they can't afford to go down 3 to 1.

Party in Miami....lol! Don't see OKC winning 3 in a row. They might get one more win but it looks like LBJ will get his ring and D-Wade will get #2. Thoughts???

Previously I picked Miami to win in 7; however, after watching all the games I think Miami will win it in 5 games. Lebron is playing in "beast mode" and is finally getting help from Dwade, Battier, and last night Chalmers had 25 points. When Lebron gets help Miami is unbeatable. If OKC wins Thursday, I think Miami wins in 7 games but I seriously don't think that will happen. South Beach will be partying Thursday night. But this is sports... U never know what's gonna happen. However, that is my prediction and I'm sticking by it.

Miami will probably win it at home. What's the deal with Harden guarding James. That doesn't make any sense. Oh well whatever.
-
Monster game by Westbrook last night, too bad it was for naught....Durant and James were, well, Durant and James. Harden was a virtual no-show for the second straight game....OKC fouls at the most inopportune time in both games three and four. Miami did "steal" game two, can't be mad at them for taking advantage....I think Miami finishes the deal tomorrow night, they would want to....Seattle fans may get their wish after all; frankly Cleveland and Seattle fans need to just grow up and get over it...No offense to residents of those cities that may be on this forum, just saying you have to let go and move on...my 0.02.

Miami Heat dominated tonite!!! Lebron voted NBA Finals MVP and well deserved. O0
