Wrong? I'm rarely wrong. Re-read my post. I never said OKC would win in 5, I said I wouldn't be shocked. As the game has progressed and I've seen the teams play 2 games, I've decided to update my initial thoughts. Once again, I'm not sure who will win this matchup but I'd like to see the Warriors play the Cavs in the finals.

The reality is, I'm one of the few posters on here that A) Makes predictions and B) Hits on most of his predictions. That is the reality.

Call them "HoT Takes' or w/e you want.

??

The only prediction I've made so far are the following:

Cavs will sweep the EC.
Thunders/Warriors to 7.
Cavs will win the NBA finals.

Grow up.

Listening to NBA radio on way into work and some guy called in and was laughed off the air because he said Toronto was the 4th best team in the league (after Cleveland, OKC, and GSW). The radio hosts obviously said San Antonio belonged up there before them, and maybe even the Clippers and Trail Blazers.

Idk where I'd rank Toronto because they've looked like trash for most of the playoffs. They're definitely not in the top four right now. But I'm not sure about San Antonio. They had a remarkable regular season, but they managed to rack up a lot of wins throughout the season when the older guys could take games off and they could strategically displace their minutes. They tore through Memphis in the first round who shouldn't have been in the playoffs, but then got tossed out in the second round when they met a team that wasn't a joke. The older guys had to go full throttle and couldn't match up.

I guess my question is where would you rank San Antonio? 4th? Higher? Lower? Does it depend on what month of the season I'm asking?
If they had met Portland, Miami, Toronto, Boston, Cleveland, GSW, or the Clippers in the second round instead of OKC, would the outcome have been the same or different?

Just friendly discussion since there's no damn games on until Sunday. Edit: Thought Cleveland played Sunday. Nvm.

If the Spurs and OKC played another 7 game series right now I would take San Antonio.

Don't think I would. Man they looked as old as any team I can remember.

At least they caught this one. He does that shit all the time. I still can't believe he got away with tackling Marcus Smart in their home loss to the Celtics.

The league is in a spot where they almost HAVE to suspend him. If they are suspending Jones for the hit to Biz's nuts, they have to do the same here. Only thing that helps green is he actually gets talked to by the media and will have a chance to say he didn't do it on purpose blah blah. But green is so damn dirty, I'm glad one finally gets caught.

Also after that kick to the nads, believe I saw okc went on a 28-8 run or something. Plus green got taken to the hole over and over.

That's gotta be at least 2 games....but seeing as he plays for the Warriors, he probably won't be suspended.

If they suspend him, it will probably make the game last 4 or more hours.
