2013-2014 NBA Champion Will Be...

Yeah, no way Toronto takes out Miami and the only other thing I want besides the Pacers to win the finals is for the Heat to lose.

Also, I might spiral into depression if the Pacers lose to the Hawks in the first round...

I bought game six tickets to Nets/Raptors. I'm assuming it'll be the Nets close out game   

In my life i would like see playoffs in direct, my team is portland but i don't know when i will can do this

Let me tell you...seeing a game in Portland, is such a great experience. The Rose Garden (or Moda Center now), get's loud and intense. Even Kobe Bryant has said that it's his least favorite place to play.

And hell yeah, Portland up 3-1! Love it, fucking love it!

I just had a fit! Go Blazers

I think an underrated Eastern Conference team are the Wizards. Their backcourt can score at will, and in addition they have such underrated bigs in Gortat and Nene. I think they can even hang with the Heat and contend for the East (or at least I'm hoping so). As far as the West, anyone is good enough to come out of there. I would like to see the Thunder's shot selection improve, because they shy away from taking it to the rack when Durant ultimately scores or gets fouled EVERY time he is aggressive towards the bucket. Westbrook as well, they are too athletic to settle for jumpers as much as they do. Honestly it's hard to pick a team out of the West, I would go with The Thunder or The Rockets.

Washington has basically a free ride to the Eastern Conference Finals imo. It's looking like an Atlanta-Washington 2nd round, and the Wizards are clearly the better team. Can they take down Miami though? Not a chance. If they somehow get Brooklyn or Toronto though, I seriously think we could see the Wizards in the finals.

Opinions seem to have changed easily fast, while after offseason everybody said I did nothing for my team/roster now I have a good backcourt and also some bench       and became a title contender.

I do not believe either opinions...

They're talking about the actual Washington Wizards here, not the CSL Wizards. This is a topic for the NBA championship.

Sorry i got mixed, because actual Wizards are also mine hehehe

As a Bulls fan, I'm watching every minute of Bulls - Wizards series.. And I'm gonna explain why I think Wiz do not stand a chance against Miami.

- Wizards are winning games because every game they make huge runs at 1st and 3rd quarters. Why? Simple: Carlos Boozer is playing 12 minutes in those quarters and ruining Bulls ball Moviment / screening / defensive rotations. He's allowed many easy buckets, made some silly fouls, allowing and-1 opportunities.. I may even say he has the worst +/- of all players in that series.
- DJ Augustin, while scoring 18per game, is being completely abused by Wall defensively. Wall can get past him at will, making Bulls defenders to over-rotate and allowing easy baskets / open corner 3s. When Butler, for example, is guarding Wall, he can't blow by him, but Thibs has to play Augustin because he can create offense for him and for the others.
- Beal and Ariza do not post up smaller defenders. They stay on the perimeter running around screens to find separation. That's why Thibs has had Hinrich defending Ariza, who's 4 inches taller, or even 5'10 DJ defending 6'5 Beal. The problem is that Beal can shoot over DJ. But he can't over Allen / Wade. So the Heat can put LeBron on Wall to stop drives and then Wade / Allen defending any of Ariza / Beal.
- Wiz lack consistency. They score at bunches, then disappear, then score again. That will be ok against a Bulls team who can't score because they lack athleticism outside, but won't against a Heat team full of athletic beasts who can score at will.

I was hoping Wiz could make it but whatching their games I don't think they can even get past Indy if they get there. They'll be matched athletically and it will expose their faults.
Still here's hope someone can dethrone Heat at the East.

Oh man what a game was HOU @ POR?????
I hate that kid named Lillard. So clutch. Great shot.

Blazers knocking out red hot Rockets.. Oh man... The West is so great, so open.. Best playoffs since I started following NBA, 6-7 years ago, hands down!

RIP CITY BABY! FUCKING RIP CITY!! DAMIAN FUCKING LILLARD!! paiwuehsfbjkawemnfepwruirho[qewdSFBPIUOWEAHIL[SFBGRW9U8SOGKL'EHWABRNSDGO[UIAELRKS'HFGNAERSDOVILK

So many great matchups, Lillard was huge, haha

congrats to Por fans - great series. how many teams passed up Lillard in the draft? crazy stuff

Man I love Lillard!

A whole weekend of game 7s. This is glorious.

1 hour to tip off - cmon Pacers ....

still think its going to be SA vs MIA finals and this time Duncan will take it

I don't think anyone can beat San Antonio this year, especially now that Ibaka is gone for the playoffs.

Time for the Pacers to take down the Heat.

they just deserve it. nearly made me cry, haha.

Series finally starts tonight! Let's go Spurs!!!!!!!!
