Official 2016 NBA Playoffs Thread: Conference Finals: Warriors / Thunder | Cavs / Raptors

[pmatic]

Hawks can defend, but they don't score nor rebound well enough to challenge the Cavs. Cavs in five.

The Heat present mismatches all over the floor and the Raptors haven't been impressive, therefore Heat in six.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Pre draft I remember liking Noah Vonleh, seeing him in HS and college, looking at the anaylytics made me think he was an underrated prospect.

but then I saw Noah Voleh workout and immediately soured on him. :x


robotic, stiff hips, slow feet, not a natural shooter.



He's still really young so their is still time for me to be wrong about that.



I was skeptical of Kristaps as a top 4 guy, then I saw that workout and realized no way he goes past 4. As risky as he might have seemed gotta take the risk on fluid, athletic, 7 footers who can shoot.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Heat in 5.

Derozan will probably be able to get off a little bit, Justice isn't the type of defender that bothers Derozan, derozan struggles against tall guys, 6'8+.


But Derozan getting off doesn't really do much for the raptors chances of winning, his game doesn't impact winning.

The East is so terrible ... I don't see how anyone is going to stop LeSkunk from getting to yet another NBA finals.

I mean the West hasn't been that competitive either.

 

[Peep Game]

I should've known the Raptors would win once NT firmly got behind the Pacers never fails

A healthy GS vs a healthy Cav team for the chip rematch... Best ending to this season imo.

 

[jking40]

Wish Bosh was healthy. Heat vs Cavs ECF after both 5 game series. Crazy to think Bron left and just one year he go be facing his old team again.

Steph should be getting his second MVP.
today or tomorrow.

GSW vs CLE REMATCH with full healthy squads. Basketball gods please do it

 

[picasso swerve]

Cavs gonna sweep ATL and yall know it.

 

[Moheezy]

a Cavs/ Heat and Warriors/ Spurs conference match up would have been epic if everyone were healthy.

Hopefully the Cavs can keep their momentum and avoid serious injuries.


Also, I kinda like the heat/ raptors matchup

Goran VS Lowry
Derozan VS Wade (Derozan should learn a thing or two from wade, two shooting guards who don't shoot threes)
Carroll VS JJ
Whomever starts at 4
Hassan VS Jonas (this will be awesome)

Should be fun.

Josh Richardson v Norman Powell...the battle of 2015 second round steals.

 

[mgrand15]

I wonder if Toronto still has nightmares about Joe Johnson in the playoffs.

 

[ill steelo]

If I was Casey I'd start Powell & have him track Wade every second that he's out there. Move Pat to the bench.

That's their best chance. Keep Carroll on JJ & keep Powell on Wade.

If Deng hangs 25-30 on DD, so be it.

demarr carrol was overrated on atlanta and he looks worse in toronto
what does this guy do so well again?

Really looking forward to this series. I kinda wanna see Toronto in the ECF.

In this particular series, he's gonna be asked to guard JJ, which he's perfectly capable of doing.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

But he can stop LeBron!

his braids are really a struggle...if theres one guy i hope chops em off its him

 

[hoosierdaddy317]

Demare looks like he freaks black and milds before the game. Hate this scrub idk how we let his scrub *** hit shots in the series 

 

[Verde Shuttles]

I see coach putting Carroll on Wade and Derozan on JJ.

jj would devour derozan if he decides to stop bull ******** and actually plays like its a contract year. That's always been my issue with joe. all the skills in the world to score, kills bron every time. and yet, half ***** it the majority of the time. Tries only when he feels like it.

wade and dragic are going to need to ball again.


something tells me whiteside is going to get into it with JV and end up in foul trouble most nights.

That would be a bad idea. DeRozan can't handle JJ.
