NBA Conference Championship Predictions



First Round Record (7-1)
Semi Finals Record (2-2)

NBA Conference Finals Predictions

Western Conference

Houston Rockets Vs Golden State Warriors

The Warriors have been kicking some serious ass this season and have continued to dominate all through the playoffs thus far. The Rockets made an impressive comeback down 3-1 in the semi-finals over the Clippers, that showed they can overcome an immense amount of adversity against a really good team. The Clippers did choke, but you still can’t take away a comeback like that away from the Rockets! In this matchup I feel like it will end up being a shootout, you have the league MVP Stephen Curry going up against the runner up for the award, James Harden. The Warriors have the edge on the defensive side of the ball and I feel they will work to take James Harden out of the game and force his teammates to try and step up in his place. The Warriors are also a much deeper team on the bench and have other guys who can take over scoring if Curry is not having a good game. Right now I cannot pick against the Warriors, they have maintained a high level of play from start to finish this season. It really looks like they are going to win it all when everything is said and done.

Eastern Conference

Cleveland Cavaliers Vs Atlanta Hawks

I feel like analysis on this matchup will be a waste of time because it’s quite obvious that the league is going to make it as easy as possible for Lebron and the bitches to get into the NBA Finals. But since I only have two matchups to discuss I’ll just go ahead and do it! The Cavs are such a garbage team, there is nothing impressive about them and their “coach” is just hilarious! Dude runs onto the court calling timeout (when they didn’t have one) at the end of a tight matchup in the previous round and magically the refs don’t see it. This would have been a penalty and could have changed the outcome of a game that ended up with a Cavs win. The Hawks are also unimpressive as a team. They had a spectacular regular season, but since the playoffs began they have looked like a different team. Their threat this season was their lights out shooting and so far they have looked awful on that end. Even Kyle Korver can barely knock down a three and that dude was on fire all regular season! In general I think the Hawks are a much better team than the Cleveland Lebrons on the offensive and defensive side, as well as deeper on the bench. But I don’t see the Hawks winning in this big of a matchup and it’s obvious the league wants Lebron back in The Finals with the way the refs call all of their games.
