Getting near that time. Golden State or Houston?

The East is a joke as usual and don't say the Raptors have the talent to beat either of them. The Western conference finals is the championship. Sticking with the champs or Houston. Basically identical records at this point.

It's hard to pick against GS. What if LeBron goes to Houston next year, though?

Just focusing on this year at this time. So much happens in the offseason but that series will be basketball played at it's highest level. If Pop somehow gets the Spurs in then despite being a hall of fame coach he should get a medal.

The Spurs are a good team but they wont win the West.

Since you fly the Canadian flag can guess why you think that. Talent level and the conference over inflates it. The Raptors record.

We get slept on and disrespected across the league. Atlantic division Champions 3 years in a row. Winning season records since 2013. Going for a 50 win season 3 years in a row here. Possibly 60 wins this year. We have more depth than any other team. Our bench has the best point differential in the league. We are the only team with a top 5 offence and top 5 defense. Our starters are playing less minutes than any other team because our bench gets it done. Our starting center is shooting 48% from 3P. Best home record in the NBA.
There is so much to like about this team this year.
It's a broadcast rights thing why so little of the Raps highlights make it to the USA markets. We are the Other. North over everything.

Shall see. No one remembers regular season records though you make a good point. Only championships.

Keep hoping, with all respect, keep hoping. I really hate the East Coast teams yet I get your point. In my opinion, won't happen.

I haven't really followed the NBA much this year what with the Bulls sucking. Had no idea Toronto and Houston won that many games.

Raps clinched a playoff spot yesterday. First team to clinch in the NBA.

Eastern Conference. Would take the Cavs over them and they are 12 games over .500. Celts suck. Will be interesting though When the Cavs play them in the only two teams that are interesting in the always weak Eastern Conference. At least Lebron got them one ring for Cleveland. Or the Land, lol, G.S this year. Houston or G.S but the coach of the Rockets even with that Suns roster could never get by the Spurs so have to stick with G.S.
Think the odds on the Raptors winning the title are like 10-1 despite clinching the mighty East.

So the Raptors beat the Rockets tonight.
Tell me again about how the Cavs and Golden State.

Tell it to the odds makers. I am more than fine with the dinosaurs playing as the Eastern Conference representatives.

But if we swept the #1 team in the west this year, we might deserve a little more respect than this shit. Plus we are #1 in the East, you know?

Man the regular season match ups have little to do with the playoffs.i do believe in 98 the Jazz beat the bulls all three times in the season but got smashed in the finals.
