NBA Conference Finals Predictions

Western Conference

Oklahoma City Thunder Vs Golden State Warriors

When the Playoffs began I had a feeling the Thunder were going to make things tough for some of their opponents, but I really did not believe they would make it this far in such dominating fashion! They spent the entire regular season blowing major leads in the fourth quarter and it was tough to believe they’d be able to withstand the Spurs for an entire series, let alone kick their ass! The Warriors are finally going to be tested this post season. It’s been amazing to see how well they play even with Steph Curry injured, but they will definitely need him in this round! While I point out that the Warriors will be tested in this round, I still think they are head and shoulders above every team remaining in the playoffs! They play  in sync and so well together offensively, they make it all look easy. The defense is what gets overlooked, but I have a feeling it will play a major role in this matchup against the Thunder. The Warriors focus should be trying to contain Russell Westbrook. He is all over the court and if he continues to run loose then it’s easy for him to run up the score on you. He goes hard in the paint and is not afraid to muscle his way in for some rebounds. With all that said about Westbrook, I think the Warriors will end up on top. They know what it takes to win a Championship and they’re an even better team than they were last year so it’s kind of tough to pick against the Warriors because so far this entire season they have overcome every task that they have had to face.

Warriors over Thunder 6 games

Eastern Conference

Toronto Raptors Vs Cleveland Cavaliers

The Eastern Conference is such an insanely awful conference I don’t even understand why they bother to pretend to participate in the previous rounds of basketball. The Cavaliers are the only legitimate team in this pathetic conference and the sad thing is that’s pretty much the way the East has been for many years! You have one to three good teams and the rest are a wash! This is why I have no faith in the Raptors. I’d love to think that they could actually make this a watchable series, but Toronto cannot be trusted this time of year! The Cavs are nice and rested and ready to cruise into the NBA Finals to finally face a real team! This should be another quick series for Bron Bron and the Cavs!
