The 2014-2015 NBA Season Thread. Lock It Up Please: The Golden State Warriors Are The Champions

[MVP]

Never in the history of the league have their been more than 4 or 5 teamstruly with a shot to win the title. People getting caught up again in the early season. We haven't even reached Christmas yet. Remember when POR was going to win the whole thing before the all star break last year.

Seriously just pump the brakes on all these proclamations. There are not 8 contenders in the league let alone the West.

Who are your contenders?

playoff ball is all about match ups.

This. Yes that makes Dallas contenders. If you get matched up against certain teams and avoid others. Yes that makes you a contender.

Absolutely. It's still early but to say that Dallas is a contender and GSW is not is laughable.

Playoffs are 7 game series. I'd put my $ on Gasol and Z-Bo doing what they do more consistently than jumpers staying wet for 7 games. Bogut in a 7 game series where the game slows down and you need half court offense. GS hasn't sold me yet.

Portland last year with what bench?!

Who are your contenders? 

SA, OKC, CHI, CLE, and maybe WAS

That Mavericks-Spurs series was less competitive than the games indicate because of Vince Carter's game-winning, improbable three pointer in Game 3.

He doesn't hit that, the Spurs win 4 of first 5.

If Dallas scored 6 more points in G1 they would've went up 3-0,

No but seriously, this is silly.

All the games were somewhat close besides G2 and G7, so I fail to see how the series wasn't competitive.

Who are your contenders? 

SA, OKC, CHI, CLE, and maybe WAS

The East has more contenders than the West?

Lol.

Wrong again.

 

[MVP]

washington? cavs? lmao

By default an East team has to go so yes they're contenders for the Finals

 

[bowb4me]

washington? cavs? lmao

Notice you didn't mention Chi. So you trust Rose? Remember Noah FEARS Hilario.

 

[offset pow clow]

So you have to make the conference finals in order to be a contender

 

[dchozn1]

Notice you didn't mention Chi. So you trust Rose? Remember Noah FEARS Hilario.

The Bulls are deep this year. If the Bulls can get healthy as a team I got them coming out of the East.

 

[dmbrhs]

Steph just kicked his own teammate's shoe out of the way lol

Uh yea you kinda do.

 

[lawdog1]

Wiz definitely can make the finals. They have as good a starting 5 as any team in the East.

 

[gothmog]

lmao chandler hahahah

They're also hard for the Cavs to defend if Nene and Gortat stay healthy.

I just can't picture them in the Finals, tho.

The same way I can't picture Scott Brooks hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy.

It just doesn't add up in my head.

 

[offset pow clow]

Uh yea you kinda do.

So the celtics & lakers werent contenders in 2011?

your logic is flawed, they just ran into a better team
