What do you expect its the top 2 seed in the West so its going to be a tight contest. Yeah, CP3 will also be a big factor unless he also chokes in the finals just like how Harden against San Antonio last year.

They will bring the fight to the Warriors but I don't think it will be enough as Golden State specially with Curry back will be a very difficult to match player per player.

Maybe yes Maybe no. This is Chris Paul first conference finals appearance so it's just between two things; he is hungry for this first time achievement and wants some more or he will be choked because of the pressure. But at his age, he is already in a mid age in the league so maybe we can erase the choking idea as he is matured already. And besides, Game 1 will be played at their homecourt so expect that Rockets players, especially to those other first timers at conference finals will boost confidence at early phase.

Harden must not be llike that this year if they want to matched the deadly Warriors. That his yearly attitude lol.

If both harden and Paul will have a good games coming this game 1, for sure they a have a big chance to win the game in front of their crowd, its been a long time when the rockets have the title coming from olajuwon and drexler, now its time for this combo to showcase the capabilities of the entire squad, this match should be the finals as both team really deserve the place.

It is not about who deserves it anymore because both do. It is hard work that will conclude the game.
I saw the game of GSW in Game 5 and you can see all the hardwork coming to fruition. Why?
Game 3 they are devastated without the chemistry and you can see a lot of passes that are whack.

Now game 5, look at how they work. The passing and all the plays are all in chemistry now. This will be a good game though. Will be a hard fight of two offensive team. Who have the guts to face that pressure anywhere. Homecourt or not.

[Lan75]

Cleveland vs Gsw it will be the final and win the course first) well at least I so want), although Houston can still show something!

The finals is definitely going to be the Boston Celtics against the Houston Rockets. Because in honesty I am sick with Cavaliers and Warriors finals and with the Cavaliers squad depleted they would have had it so easy.

Lol, yeah i agree that it would be a bad sight to see the Cavaliers and Warriors fought it out for the Finals but that would be biggest possibility right now. The Celtics minus their two star players is definitely won't make into the Finals. Fighting heart alone can't win the games for game, it would need the talent of Kyre Irving to guide them to the Finals.

[Lionidas]

76er's suck big time.
Put an all in for Boston Celtics to close this tonight as Golden State and Cleveland did the nights before.
Embild is just full of hot air and can not produce like he is sposse to for Phily.

I'm sure that they will really give their 110 % effort to get their first win against GSW. Both are rested so its going to be a good game to watch. Specially Curry and Harden putting a good show for us NBA fans.

I'm also interested to see how CP3 will react, he's been in the league long enough to be called veteran, but this is his first finals appearance so we don't know if he is a choker or not. So he is a deciding factor here not Harden if my opinion. If he can carry this team and play well, and used his experienced, then I'm sure they can beat GSW. However, if he chokes as well, GSW will buried them specially in Curry, Durant and Klay. Those guys are shooting pretty good going into their series with Houston.

The finals is definitely going to be the Boston Celtics against the Houston Rockets. Because in honesty I am sick with Cavaliers and Warriors finals and with the Cavaliers squad depleted they would have had it so easy.

we will see what will happen as long as LeBron leading the Cavaliers I think it would be a big impact still. I hope it would be like you said so it would be different for this year. But if Cavaliers versus Warriors still happens then it speaks a lot that they are top tier teams in the league.

Sorry to break your hopes guys, but the Celtics arent winning against the Cavs without their 2 superstars. The Rockets may put a good fight against GSW, but still GSW is too strong for them. We'll gonna see a rematch from last years NBA finals again. GSW is just too strong for every team in the NBA right now and I really want the Rockets to beat the GSW so bad.

I agree with this. Celtics are short - handed right now and they are facing against the Cavs in the finals. Cavs have their roster healthy compare to Celtics who doesn't have their 2 star players.

On the other side, Rockets had a good season but nobody can defeat the Best 5 Line up of GSW especially their passing ability. The shooting and passing ability makes them deadly on the court. Nobody for me can match up with their strategy and line up.

Its hard to believe but I'm thinking of Cavs - GSW PART 4 again and as always, I will be picking GSW as the champion again. BACK TO BACK CHAMPS!!!!!

I think that Toronto is the biggest hurdle that Cavaliers has to overcome in this playoffs. So somewhat didn't get them any breathing room and they stomp them so hard that James was the first player to deliver 40-point, 14-assist game in NBA playoff history. So I'm seeing that the Celtics vs Cavs will not be as difficult as compare to Pacers or even Toronto series so I will give the edge for the ageless James and his Cavs.

As for the West side, GSW looks pretty good specially with Curry healthy and shooting is back in form. With KD always consistent and Klay doing his thing, plus Green with good defense and AI contributing nicely as well. So I will also go for GSW and eliminate the Rockets and face the Cavs once again.

So you're saying that it's going to be a Cavaliers versus Warriors Finals game and deflate playoffs? I think that would also happen. What a team. Rivalry lol.

Yesterday, I watched the Golden State Warriors' game against the New Orleans Pelicans. What you pointed out is correct. Kevin Durant has showed a lot of consistency during this season. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson may be getting most of the points, but I believe that KD is having the most impact in the matches for GSW.

And because of that they are still the best team in the NBA.
Games in the East Semi Finals are over, it's going to be a Cavaliers vs Celtics rematch and I think just like before, the cavaliers will dominate.
It seems like we will see another Finals rematch this year, and I am with the Warriors on that series.

It's a team play. If the team wont work then they wont win.
That happened in game 4. Look at how incosistent everyone is if nothing is working on the team.

Philly and Ceptics though, have shown a great game. A lot of future can be seen for both sides of young players. If the players will stay then they can grow their chemistry and see to it that they will give a great game next season.

Congratulations to the Celtics. Their back again. They need a good game plan defending Lebron.

That's why Kevin Durant really need to get out early because he's gonna be hard to checked in the later period if they allow him to shoot the ball uncontested. He will be really a night mare for any team because he can switch to any position. The only player that I have seen to somewhat intimidate and play good defense on him is Lebron James. Although the Cleveland lost last years championship to the Warriors, there was moment when James shutdown Durant. However, he can't sustain in the full four quarters because he needs to score.

Lebron is the number 1 opponent here coming from Celtics, if only Hayward and kyrie can play then we will see a new line up that will give a new type of game that might give lebron a good fight, it will add a good challenge for cavs and provably some extra lift for the Celtics, this match up was my prediction before this season after I've heard the trade of kyrie and Hayward just not an good news when this two promising superstars got an injury and won't be able to help their teams coming this east finals, but even lebron have an edge we cant just forget how Boston played and how they reach this finals slot.

Well the celtics have been playing above par this playoff without kyrie and gordon with their young guns playing like seasoned vets. Though they could really use kyrie's experience now since they'll basically be playing against a team that hasn't been beaten in the east for a couple of years now. I'm excited to see though how the celtics will match against an obviously peaking lebron and cavs team

Lebron James can’t be doing the defensive and offensive duties all at once and that’s of the reasons why i believe that they will be serious outmatched if they should encounter either the Rockets or the Warriors in the finals.

I am having some discussion about this with a friend and trying to sum up who will defend the king and vice versa who will defend Tatum as he is a good offensive player also.

Smart is still healing with an injury on his palm that could get worse if forced. He is only the one I can think of that is buffed and with agility that could defend Lebron.
Cavaliers have some agile players also that could defend Tatum but they will be leaving Brown and Rozier on the outside who could shoot some 3's.

This is going to be a hard part for the Celtics since Smart could be looking at a foul trouble while defending Lebron. Who will be next in line after that?

Smart is overrated and can not defend Simmons, McConnell or Saric. What hope does he have in defending Thompson, Hill, Smith or even a Lebron for that matter.
They are toast in the next 4 games. And I do not think Kyrie is making an appearance this years playoffs so the Celtics have no hope in going against the Cavs when they are rolling over first seed teams like they are high school Bball teams.
There is another week until the next conference finals start so there is alot of time to think how these matchups will end.
Until then there is little more to talk about on this years playoffs.
