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!
Cavaliers over Raptors 5 games
