[B Sox]

Celtics vs Blazers

Has a nice ring to it.

 

[Peep Game]

Give me my Rockets vs Clippers and Bucks vs Celtics CF games that ends with a Rockets vs Celtics Finals, where Harden hits the winning FT after after Marcus Smart fouls him on a 3 point play. Bill Simmons catching on fire in his klan suit would be amazing.

 

[P C H]

Driven over given

 

[casper90403]

going to start work a couple of hours early tomorrow to make everyone think I'm getting **** done and then disappear once 1030a hits.

This is gonna be good

 

[dmbrhs]

Only three games scheduled to air on NBATV and the Nets got two of them. Sounds about right.

Nope. Smart flopping for a charge to win the NBA Championship. Will be more famous than the Bron block

 

[elpablo21]

At the greatest 8th seed not being an option in the poll

 

[MVP]

Lakers vs Bucks

AD Finals MVP

 

[amitt5504]

[BennyIll22]

OKC over Milwaukee haha

 

[Hahahaha]

[3god]

Let’s be real, Giannis is not a #1. He canNOT lead a team to a championship.

 

[friscostylez]

Honestly bros, I know I might have been one of the main ones saying Blazers will beat the Lakers, but that's not going to happen...not even close & i was just jk the entire time b. Mainly for two reasons: 1. their team defense is st8 up trash, so during the entire series, L3-6ron is gonna get whatever he wants. 2. Lakers' bigs are way more mobile & athletic, so Dame won't be looking as heroic during pick & roll situations and attacking the rim. The only way the Blazers can sneak in a win is if they are hella hot from the field & the Lakers is ice cold - 8-15% chance of happening.


Predictions: Lakers in 3...Blazers gonna throw in the white flag after G3.

 

[QU!K]

Everyone got heat over Pacers?

Losing Sabonis was huge

I got the Heat. Indy wouldn't shock me though. I love how both teams play. Iggy and Crowder were nice late vet pickups for Miami. That Jimmy/Bam combo puts it over the top I think. If Sabonis was playing and Dipo back to form then it could flip to Indy but they aren't. Heat in 6
