Called both sweeps.

The first part of the statement is literally my prediction. Sorry I gave an at worst as well.

Le Sleeper: "My prediction. Cavs are World Champs. But they could also come in second place. But they'll at least win the east. But they could also come in 2nd place in the east too. But Cavs will be champs, but not champs at worst."

Le Cavs: "World Champs!"

Le Sleeper: "Called it."

I haven't yet made my prediction yet for the NBA Finals.

The reality is, none of you know anything about basketball.

I hope your finals prediction is like last year when it changed after every game.

I'm wrong every once in a while. It's okay to admit you didn't pick a sweep in either round.

They sweep Indiana.
Post 1298. And without any "but at worst they possibly probably lose a game." You can shut the fuck up now.

You sound miserable. Go outside and take a deep breath.

Adding him was huge for this team. Creates so much spacing when he's in there.

Yeah Korver has been awesome. D will too, especially in the playoffs (he wasn't having a really good regular season w the cavs). Two awesome pickups by David griffin. Much better than sending Love to NY for Melo lol

Agree. I hope Melo rots in NY, which I think he will. Only way he leaves is if he ever puts money on the back burner. I don't see that happening, and I'm OK with that.

Lowry already announced he is opting out this summer. No doubt in my mind he quit on the raps that series.

Raptors had no chance of winning anyway. Expect Lowry to go play out West.

That'd be a really nice fit. Or LA with PG? Can they afford that?

Good call. Probably a top choice with Parker and Manu likely done.

Paul George is not resigning in Indiana if things stay the same...however, he has another year on his contract. Say he gets All-NBA team and Indiana can offer by far the most money?? Does he take it?

Will they trade him? Maybe, but no guarantee its to Lakers without a top pick. I think he will eventually end up there. But, say Boston comes calling with the 2nd pick in the draft this year... Indiana accepts, and PG13 experiences some good coaching and winning in Boston. Maybe he stays?

I didn't realize Lebron is THAT close to surpassing MJ for all time scoring in the playoffs. He is only 140 points shy.

Yeah, cause Utah and Portland are suuuuuch good competition.

Could draymond green be more of a jizzrag?
