NBA Finals Prediction

Golden State Warriors Vs Toronto Raptors

If there is one thing that I have learned during the NBA playoffs is that Kawhi Leonard is the truth!  This dude has single-handedly carried the Raptors the entire way through the playoffs. He seems to get better with each and every game and he leaves it all out there on the court. You can even see how hobbled he is towards the end of the game because he’s played so hard. He has led the Raptors all the way into the NBA Finals, a place that they have come so close to, but fell short while LeBron dominated the Eastern Conference. The unfortunate thing for the Raptors is they’re about to face off against the defending Champs, who are playing in their fifth straight NBA Finals. I don’t think it makes a difference if Kevin Durant ends up playing or not because the Warriors are still head and shoulders above the Raptors! This is not a shot at KD because I also think he is a killer on the court, it’s just a testament to the Warriors team as a whole and how good they are.

The Warriors are not playing their fifth straight NBA Finals series by luck or by chance. It’s because they have been the best team for that long because they have the most depth. The Warriors have bench players who could be starters for other NBA teams, that’s how fucking good that they are. Steph Curry is still balling out of his mind, Klay Thompson continues to step up and make all the clutch shots (I don’t know why everyone forgets about him), and no one plays harder in the paint than Draymond Green. Draymond is currently and has always been their secret weapon, and one of the main reasons why they continue to win Championships! Most people do not realize that he is the engine that keeps this train moving because of what he does for them in the paint. I don’t believe the Raptors even have a chance in this one. They do not have the fire power to keep up and while Kawhi is a killer, he will need the rest of his team to help him out and I don’t believe he has enough surrounding him to keep up with Golden State. The Warriors have basically breezed through the playoffs and I expect the same in the Finals.

NBA Conference Finals Predictions

Western Conference Finals

Portland Trail Blazers Vs Golden State Warriors

I’ve really enjoyed watching this playoff run by the Trail Blazers because they have been playing some amazing team basketball. Damian Lillard has been a great leader who plays with ice in his veins and continues to prove he is one of the best point guards in the league. The Trail Blazers go hard in the paint, grabbing all the rebounds and that has played a huge role in this playoff run! Unfortunately for them they are about to face off against the defending Champions, who continue to play at a high level and dominate everyone they face! Even with a hobbled Kevin Durant the Trail Blazers still have no shot because the Warriors are too deep and too good to lose to anyone in this league right now! I expect the Blazers to battle in this matchup, but they ain’t gonna win this war!

Eastern Conference Finals

Toronto Raptors Vs Milwaukee Bucks

FINALLY…AN EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS WITHOUT LEBRON!!!! LeBron had to move to the Western Conference to give the rest of the East a chance to compete and make the Eastern Conference interesting for a change during the postseason. We have a great matchup on deck between the Bucks and Raptors. Kawhi Leonard continues his playoff tear by outscoring everyone on the court, even his own teammates know just give the ball to Kawhi! He is clutch and chances are he is going to knock the shot down every time he touches the ball, we saw that in game 7 against Philadelphia, as well as in the first round against Orlando, and oh yeah, how about a few years ago when he played for San Antonio and was the Finals MVP! He’s a killer and the Bucks better be prepared for what Kawhi is about to bring. Giannis is also playing at an insane level this season. He has absolutely dominated every single team in the postseason, but this will be a different beast than the previous two teams that the Bucks have faced. The edge in this matchup is Kawhi Leonard. Right now I feel he can’t be stopped. He is playing at a high level and while the Bucks are tough on the defensive side of the ball, I don’t believe they will be able to handle Kawhi.
