Glad Elliot Williams got MVP. He was a really underrated player throughout his college career. Transferred outta Duke because his mother was ill and his career has just been injury after injury.

McAdoo was one of the most overrated college players in recent memory (lottery to d-league in 3 years, thanks Roy Williams!) but he seems to have made it on the Warriors roster. He could be a nice defender/hustle player but he just isn't talented at basketball.

I was wondering where Aaron Craft was. One of the better "college" players of the past 5 years. Cool to see him playing basketball. I believe he was studying to be a doctor. Great that he is giving his basketball dream a chance.

Yeah probably they can do something close to it. Won't get those rebounding numbers cause Wade is a beast of a rebounder, but I bet the assist numbers will be better (more to do with James than Irving), and the points will be around the same probably a little less to be honest.

It is bound to happen but its unfair to compare Irving/James with Wade/James its a fun numbers game, but the team rosters are totally different and the players themselves are different. I think Kyrie has a chance to really become one of the best 3 guard scores in the league - he's damn close to it now. How I see Lebron and his partnership evolving over the next 3-4 years is that Irving will be the leading scorer while Lebron just does a bit of everything else. Lebron will facilitate and Irving will get his buckets off catch and shoot, driving, and iso. Not saying he is a better player than Wade by any means, but Kyrie will probably be a better all around scorer than Wade ever was, although I doubt he'll lead the league in scoring like Wade did in 09. Irving's game will age better too, hopefully a less injury prone Parker, because he doesn't rely on super amazing athleticism like Wade once did. I think the biggest disappointing aspect about Wade is he never really transformed how he played, he just became slightly less good at what he did before, while being smarter about picking his spots. No development of an outside shot.

We shall see. Wade and James will always be special, their brothers and two of the all time greats. Look forward to just seeing how Kyrie and Lebron develop because its gonna be a totally different experience than 2010-2014.

Lebron is going to have to play the four now which he hated to do in Miami even though that is where he is his most efficient and productive. It'll be interesting how they approach the games with Love out the rest of the playoffs. It definitely helps them that the Bulls had to go six to knock off the Bucks. Their size is going to be tough for the Cavs though but they should still make the finals. The Hawks look terrible right now so the Cavs should dismantle them unless they implode. I think we still have to wait to see how kyrie develops. He's the same age as Wade was his rookie season. He's already a better three point shooter than Wade ever was but his midrange game isn't there yet. The kid looks like the real deal and having Lebron there to mentor him can only help him. But because I'm petty I hope the whole thing is a disaster.

A sentence I will never repeat.

Spurs clippers is at eight. The fight won't be till eleven.

They split but don't put too much stock in a regular season game. I believe the Nets swept the regular season last year vs the Heat and the Heat beat them 4-1 in the playoffs. Young teams don't win the finals generally so if the Warriors win it would go against the norm. However assuming they play the cavs I think they beat them easily. . Outside of LeBron and the old guys that came from Miami there isn't anyone on that team that has big game experience. I think Green can really bother LeBron like Leonard did last year. Kyrie isn't a great defender and will have a hard time chasing Curry around for seven games

I'll still take the Cavs to win the Finals...fuck it.

Lebron will lockdown Derrick Rose in the 4th quarter of the next series, like how he did with the Heat and he'll do that with Steph Curry in the Finals.

Need the Trifecta.

God bless.

Manu has not been that terrible, he's had 3 good games and 3 bad ones, Splitter, Parker and Green have been worse sadly, but he's got no legs, he's not able to take over a game like he used to when the others were struggling,this is the end for him and tomorrow will probably be his last game as a Spur...bless him, what a player
But seeing the kind of guy he is, he'd hate to end his career like that, and he's probably frustrated at the way he's playing, so my only hope is that he's got a G5 2013 finals type of game left in the tank, just one

He's shown flashes of brilliance over the past six games but he's not be all that impressive.

It is tough to bet against the spurs, but it is now or never for the clippers as well in some respects. CP3 and Blake have to take over. Cp3 in game six was stunning, I love his midrange game. JJ and DeAndre have to have their presences felt as well because they have no bench. Crawford will hopefully give them double digits. Rivers might hit a long 2 or two, but he's defense is better than anything else he provides. He's poor showing against Green in game 6 in the forth, the last few mins was mind blowingly bad. barnes has been passable the past couple games, but he has to avoid foul trouble cause Crawford sucks at D and Rivers just isn't ready. He also has to give them close to double digits on the other end. Someone else has to come off the bench if Big Baby isn't coming back. I have no idea who it'll be.

Keys for spurs is Kawhi needs to show up on both floors, which I think he will do. Same with Duncan to a lesser degree. Parker needs to be a play maker and timely scorer. Danny Green, Mario B., P. Mills need to hit shots. Boris Diaw is such an x factor, same with Manu if he decides to show up both can create shots from themselves and others.

I'm picking Spurs, but I'm actually kinda going for the Clippers surprisingly for some reason. They have no bench and it'd be incredible if they overcame the ultimate team (the spurs). It's basically CP3 and Blake vs the Spurs, with JJ, DeAndre, and the other 2-3 guys making admirable plays/stepping up.

Won or blown?
I am pretty sure The road team has won every game in a five game series but not sure about a seven game series
