Spurs and toronto will meet at the championship! Or GSW and Cleveland again? Sad that Miami heat didn't get the last spot for the east.

We hope to see a beautiful and enjoyable Playoff fight. I think that Golden State and Boston can easily come out of the group without difficulty. It would be a pleasure for me to have a separate Houston Match.

boston would be a nice contender from the east as we knew cavs really have a strong line up but over power sometimes got a negative outcome, unlike boston which do have a good players to mixed up lets see first how they will surpass bulls before we discuss the next round,.

I want to win this NBA Finals is Cleveland cavaliers because as i what i see in there every game they have a great chance to win this finals. Just like the last game when they match up with the golden state warriors they do an comeback game. Amd i will never forget when lebron james cried LOL.

Most people think that the Warriors and the Spurs are the only think that has a bigger chance to advance in the NBA Finals against their obvious opponent which is the Cleveland Cavaliers. I want to think different here, I like how the Utah Jazz just shown lately and think that they are fully healthy entering in the playoffs, I guess they have a better chance to win though.

My bets for the Eastern conference.
I want to see Milwaukee Bucks beat Cleveland, so before they will be getting to that match they need to win against first with Toronto Raptors which is almost a crowd picked team.

I'm a Spurs fan and I will be a good match up between Spurs and Memphis and I know spurs can go to the finals. All in for Spurs

How come that Boston will win the eastern conference against cavs while they already lost on Bulls on their first game on the Play-offs? Boston is strong on regular season but they can't beat cavs on 7 series game and that is the fact. Boston is just a hype team which is just good on the start but they don't have a finishing strategy. But let's at the end if they can pass on the first round of the Play-offs. I'm not a cavs fan but i know what are there skills and what can they do on Play-offs. BTW spurs fan here.

Thomas has a problem since her sister died in a car accident, I saw it in covers and maybe that is one of the factor he is not too focus in game 1. Because they lose in game 1, I guess we can make an easy win in game 2, for sure they will do everything to win, so I'm backing them regardless of the odds.

i'm with you mate spurs for west and cavs for east i would like to see both of them to meet again even we all knew that houston and gsw are still a good contender from west and we can't lessen their skills but it would be a good test for coach pop to develop this high power new guns.

There are some great teams this season in the playoffs but once again I think it will be GSW and Cleveland Cavilers in the NBA finals for the 3rd season in a row. I would like to see 2 other teams but I can't see it, maybe the Spurs can make it through. I think a dark horse to make it to the finals would be the Chicago Bulls who have been great this season.

I'm not sure with your prediction, the warriors are not that dominant this season and they are having a hard time with the Nurkicless Blazers, maybe let's see if they can get past the firsts round, I still believe the Blazers are underrated although they have one of the best back court duo in the person of Lillard and Mccolum.

[gabmen]

Good matcbups for the first round and we've already seen upsets by lower seeds though they may all have been evenly matched. For the east it probably would still be cleveland to come out on top but i'm hoping the bucks can go a bit further. The west may very well be seeing the warriors and the spurs again. We have strong teams in the west but consistency by these two would see them meeting each other.

I agree but the great teams almost always come good and perform well in the finals, just look at what the Cleveland Cavaliers did last year in the NBA finals and also the Warriors also came back in the playoffs to beat OKC. So I can still see the Warriors making it to the NBA finals once again and playing the Cavaliers for the 3rd year in a row.

[boyptc]

I badly want to see San Antonio Spurs or Oklahoma Thunders vs Milwaukee Bucks. I'm both fan of their key players, Giannis for Bucks, Westbrook for OKC and the whole San Antonio Spurs team. I hope I can see that but with this line up of play offs it is going to be a hard way for each team, all of them are great teams.

chicago will face cleveland in final east and my money on chicago.. in west i think GSW will face spurs.. if clippers can beat GSW than my money on clippers..

[Finestream]

I had my bet with the Cavaliers already, I saw how they play and they can compete with the Warriors in the 3 point shooting area and they are better in defense compared to the warriors. Lebron James is the best play in the NBA who happen to have the most experience in playoffs also, this is a different game they are playing now and I don't see the cavaliers will be laying low against any team.

You will just end up crying if you bet on Chicago. It has a very small chance that Chicago might face Cavs in Play-offs because they must won against boston and other strong team that dominates them on play-offs, They just have a beginners luck on their first game because Boston was still tired because they consume too much energy to get the no.1 seed spot on the east. The second game will be the turning point to them, If they made 2-0 the series then i will starting believing that chicago can do it.

I don't think that is the factor why they lost in the game, they are not tired because they have an easy journey, what is more tired are the bulls because they are fighting hard for their chance to be in the number 8 spot. There is no excuse in this game, you cannot underestimate a team with lots of veterans, they have the healthy Rondo, Wade, and Butler, plus they have a good center.
