I mean if you're the Warriors/Thunder at this point, do you even want to play in the Finals? The Cavs are going to absolutely stomp the shit out of whatever team comes out in West so why bother? Just lose and go home and let the best NBA team take the trophy.

It wouldn't shock me at all to see the Cavs become the first team ever to sweep the NBA playoffs at 16-0. Are we watching the same game? Does anyone else realize how good the Cavs are playing? Kevin Love decided to show up, KI is playing better than he ever has and we have LEBRON JAMES. Seriously, I'd throw the WCF finals and get to fishing early.

With that said, I want to play the Warriors. I want to go into Oracle Arena and blow them out in Game 1 by 20 points. Then I want to go into Game 2, after they spent the entire afterwards of Game 1 making excuses, and blow them out by 30. Games 3 and 4 will just be a formality at this point as the celebration would already have started.

Yeah, um... I don't see it that way.

I'm not even thinking about the finals at this point. Both OKC and GS will be tough series. I'm worried about Toronto (because we are only up 2-0 it's not like this series is over). After Toronto, I'm confident Lebron and Lue will get the team ready for either of the WC teams.

The series is over. Toronto won't come within 10 points in a loss the rest of the way. Are we watching the same game?

I think we will beat Toronto. But am I already looking at the finals matchup? Nope. Worried about getting two wins in Canada this weekend.

Game 3 is Toronto's chance. But if the cavs can come out and take it to them early, I think they'll fold. They look so defeated the last two nights. I mean your best player leaves the bench to go punch walls or something?? They're done... but I expect them to at least give it one more shot with their home crowd and energy tomorrow.

Toronto has a great fan base too, really can't discount them feeding off the home crowd.

Check these out... was reading a series prediction thread on a raptors forum. Last line of the first one is hilarious.



Then I was reading their game thread from last night and by the end they were pretty much admitting it's over and their new thing was saying how much cleveland sucks because they don't have as many fans standing outside watching the games. It was a fun read. They were so pumped early in the game then it just became a shit show.

Lol so true.

It was weird last night, the raptors went on that 9-0 run to take the lead and I was just sitting there like oh well, we will still kill them. I'm not sure I like how relaxed I am about this series. Makes me feel weird.

I swear to you... it was even on Tapatalk... if you have free time I'd highly encourage going over and reading for the lulz.
To be fair a lot of their people were saying cavs in 6. One did predict a sweep and even game his game predictions for each game separately. He had them winning game 1 big.

Lol

There's nothing to worry about. They are entirely different levels of talent and current performance. Toronto going to get swept and there's no reason the games should be close.

Game 3 will be a blow out. No doubt.

??? The fans? Who cares? They don't have the talent to compete.

LOL at mentioning a coach who isn't there (blatt). Also cavs and raptors only played 3 times this year.

Personally my favorite comment is "Lowry over everything"

I'd take at least KI and LBJ over Lowry every day of the week.

...or, it's the ECF, a place the Raptors have never been. Therefore, they have no precedent to make any argument either way.

Who were the few posters a couple months ago that ranked Teague and Lowry ahead of Kyrie? LOL

I'm sure Lowry has a good game in him this series, but so far he looks like playoff Mo Williams.
