Poast that stuff here.
Looks like Hayward is done until the playoffs. Raptors will win 50 games and take the 2 seed in the East. Warriors over the Cavs in the finals in 5.

Isn't it too bad that the league is that predictable? I agree with your picks, kind of a no-brainer at this point.

Absolutely. It's frustrating being a toronto, portland, Houston or Minnesota fan in this age. Even OKC and the Spurs, you might be close, but you aren't going to the finals for another couple of years.

Also the new Nike jerseys look like garbage around the arms. What a weird design for under the armpit and behind the back.
Plus you still can't order the fucking things and most teams only have the two players available.

George is tearing it up. Yet it's a Golden State dynasty for awhile since Irving left Cleveland. Parity is a joke in the NBA.

Warriors seem mentally weaker this year. When things don't go right they get frustrated and can't get their chemistry back like they were able to in past years.

You have a point but I see them like the Jackson Lakers. They will be ready for the playoffs and now that Irving is gone there is no one to stand against them.
In the days of the first round of best of five you get Denver beating Seattle. With every round the same second season as it seems to go forever I think they will do just fine.

You will lose. Time will tell of course but I highly doubt you would go gamble on the Raptors to win it all. Despite the MASSIVE money you make. Or just watch them blow through the Eastern Conference, have Boston give them a series, fuck Cleveland, and watch them lose.
Not a 4 man all-star team fan. I hope G.S. does lose to whoever they play. But like when Jordan was asked about it he said you have 4 good teams in the league and the rest suck. I agree completely.

The Raptors are a great team, no doubt, but they are not on Golden State's level, not even close, yet. I have high hopes for them though, and I'm hoping to catch some home games next year when I can afford it. I'm pretty close to Toronto.
If anybody in the east is coming for them (GS), it's my Boston Celtics. 
Can't wait to see them beat LeBron's egotistical ass tomorrow night!

Nobody is on golden states level
-------------------- Something there is mysteriously formed, Existing before Heaven and Earth, Silent, still, standing alone, unchanging, All-pervading, unfailing, I do not know its name; I call it tao. If forced to give it a name, I call it Great (ta). Being great, it flows out; Flowing out means far-reaching; Being far-reaching, it is said to return. It's just a shot away..

Probably true. GS is a fun team to watch, too, with the exception of Draymond. For a big man he's such a whiny bitch. Actually, most of Golden States players complain on the regular, even when the call means nothing in the grand scheme of the game.

No, but with LeBron there's always rumors. Before Isaiah Thomas got traded to LA, there was a rumor that LeBron was going to be a Laker. Every year it's a different LeBron rumor.
I must say, the Cavs played a fantastic game against my Celtics the other day though. I was impressed

Raptors bench is so deep like the ocean. We've been slept on too long and have the OG Jedi.

Our starting center is shooting 47% from 3 Lowry is averaging less than 30 minutes a game because our bench is getting it done. We won 7 in a row, and 6 of 7 were by more than 15 points. I think 5 of last 7 hasn't had any starter play in the 4th. This is a statement year for us.
