I don't think the Warriors are getting back to the Finals I think they had a lot of breaks last year not facing the Spurs and star PG's during their run that it would be hard to duplicate it.

Not to mention Kerr is out indefinitely as coach. Not really sure how far Walton will take them coaching wise.

It could be Heat/Thunder but the Thunder winning it.

I forgot about the Heat they have a good team unfortunately.

Realistically hoping for:

Thunder/Cavs or Warriors/Cavs(Cleveland is pretty much penciled in for the finals right now, so there's no point in even debating about the Eastern Conference's representative in the finals) with the Thunder or Warriors taking it.

Expecting:

Spurs/Cavs. I'd hate either team winning it

As long as the clips/spurs or cavs aren't in it. I couldn't care less even if the warriors repeat.

The only reason I wouldn't want this warriors team to repeat is because I don't them to be considered the GOAT all time team, which many people will probably crown them if they win 70 or more games, putting them over every championship Lakers team

GOAT all time is just not the Lakers team... it will Michael Jordan Bulls as well. as long as the Clippers, Cavs, Spurs, Heat and Rockets are not in it. than Im okay with whoever wins the chip

I'm predicting Thunder vs. Cavs with the Thunder coming out on top in 6 or 7


Looking pretty good now, dude. Nice call. We'll see if the Warriors can figure this out. Wow!

This is looking about right.

KD and RW are close enough that they must feel some strong motivation to pull through.

The Warriors better win the next game or they are through!

I thought your original post was new. Haha, that was a good call. I wouldn't have made it. I just always figured that the Thunder would not have enough depth and fortitude to get past both the Spurs and the Warriors.

Now, it's looking like then can and if they do, it will be a great championship for them, and KD will retire in Oklahoma!

Haha thanks, I liked the Billy Donovan hire for them and I felt that he was really going to maximize all the talent they had on that team and take them to the next level. They had all the tools to do it- size, star power, defense, rebounding, they just needed a great coach to put it all together.

This is the first time the Warriors have faced a 45+ win team that was healthy in the playoffs in 2 years.

Exactly, they're getting exposed and so is their bandwagon fanbase
