I'm starting to doubt the Warriors as title favorites per Barkleys reasoning. Bogut is huge for them

Noah was healthy vs Miami and they laid an egg.

"Healthy" - He's been playing a lot because the dude is a warrior, but he hasn't looked like he did tonight.

Tonight's version was the guy who won DPOY and finished 4th in the MVP voting

Meh...

The only thing with Barkleys reasoning for that is that GS was still in it and had a chance to send it to 2OT...

They are more than just a 3pt shooting team.

I still stand by my prediction the Bulls are Finals favorites.

Most complete team top to bottom.

I'm guessing it'll be the Spurs or OKC out of the West (OKC has to basically start their run tonight) vs the Bulls or Cavs.

I'm not a believer in the Warriors, Grizz, Blazers, Hawks, Wiz, or Raptors making the Finals lets alone winning.

I also think a sleeper team is the Clippers.

I couldn't disagree with all of this strongly enough.

Although OKC has the talent, they will a low seed (if they make it). I just think in such a competitive conference, it's going to be tough to win without homecourt throughout, especially considering how advantageous OKC's homecourt has been over the years.

Why do people now think the Warriors are not legit now because they lost this one game?

They didn't make a 3 the entire second half, and the game still was decided by 2 points in overtime against a really good Bulls team.

Because this unit has literally never made a deep playoff run

X 1000000000

Its the same group that wants to crown Chicago for winning last night, and Cleveland for their winning streak.

Just wait until Atlanta loses. There will be talk on here that the blueprint will be out on how to beat them.

They were in the playoffs the past two years with Mark Jackson as coach and went to the second round the year before last as a 6th seed. Last year they were in a very competitive 7 game series with the Clippers.

They have playoff experience, and they are a MUCH better team this year.

I don't think OKC has a shot IMO. Don't believe in the Bulls either. D Rose is shite.


Hawks\Cavs out of East

GS\Spurs\Grizz out of West

I think the Hawks will fall victim to what's plagued the Grizzlies in the playoffs and that's not having that go-to scorer at the end of games.

Bulls
Hawks
Cavs

West:

OKC
GS
Spurs
Grizz

Wait, are we basing all narrative off of the regular season without taking anything else in to consideration? And when I say "regular season" I mean the current one that is barely half over?

Great logic.
