Did Denver win the championship and end with a perfect record? Idk where to find that information lol. What's the matchup everyone's most excited for not including there favorite team? I'm excited for Warriors vs Peli's, it'll be really interesting to see how competitive it is. How AD responds to his first playoffs, I want to see if Monty is as bad as a coach as I hear he is. Also how GS decides to defend AD. Plus GS is always fun to watch.

Warriors-Pels 7. Hawks-Nets I've seen a lot of people excited for Warriors-Pels, but I'm on the other side of the fence there. As great as AD is, the Pels are pretty boring to watch. Excruciatingly so, sometimes. Given how good the Warriors are, that one should be over quick.

Seriously though, there are apparently a lot of Celtics fans on Real GM living in 2010. The Celtics played great in the 2nd half of the season, but they didn't beat anyone.

I really did not expect Dwight to look this healthy. I'm going to have to change my Mavs-Rockets pick. Houston should win that in 5.

Can the media please shut up about this stupid "locker room card"-gate. If there's nothing to report, how about just don't report anything. ESPN's 24 hour news over-reaction cycle is starting to annoy me more and more.

All the crap they're spewing about Love leaving is going to look hilarious in July.

If I had a dollar for every time ESPN used the phrase "Derrick Rose is back".
In regards to predictions Im horrible with figuring out within how many games it'll take but here are my guesses:
1st Round:
EAST: ATL vs BKN - ATL wins TOR vs WASH - WASH wins CHI vs MIL - CHI wins CLE vs BOS - CLE wins
WEST: GSW vs NOP - GSW wins POR vs MEM - MEM wins LAC vs SAS - SAS wins HOU vs DAL - HOU wins
2nd Round:
EAST: ATL vs WASH - ATL Wins CLE vs CHI - CLE Wins
WEST: GSW vs MEM - GSW Wins (unless Mike Conley is at 100% health) HOU vs SAS - SAS Wins
Conference Finals: ATL vs CLE - CLE Wins GSW vs SAS - SAS Wins
Finals: CLE vs SAS - CLE Wins
- I find Conley, Lee and Allen to be easily a top 3 defensive back court in the league. If Conley can play a full game I can see them neutralize GSW's back court. No one else on GSW averages above 10 points, with accuracy. - The real Eastern Conference Finals will be CLE vs CHI. I don't have much faith in ATL being as much of a playoff team as they are a regular season team. Especially with Sefolosha out. They'll have a hard time locking down the wing players. - Toronto is perhaps one of the most overrated teams I've seen in the past few years. All they did last summer was acquire Louis Williams. While he did win 6th man of the year, the back court wasn't their biggest issue, it's their front court. There isn't any source of scoring from there.

So then don't take my predictions into any consideration.
I didn't even see this section till today, so I posted when I saw it. Each team only played once when I posted it so I figure it's all good. Plus I predicted all the way to the finals something most other predictions didn't do.

He very well may stay in Cleveland but I don't think it's so farfetched that we should mock them if he stays. It's a legit concern for Cleveland.

Well of course that's what's being said. You think he's going to say he's leaving or "exploring his options" during the season? He's a team guy so he's not going to sabotage his teammates like that. If you think he's completely happy with his situation in Cleveland, I have some beachfront property in Nebraska for you. I'm 100% positive he thinks he should be playing in the 4th quarter and that he should have more stuff run for him, as he should. There are 27ish teams that would gladly acquiesce to those demands.

Kevin Love and not playing 4th quarters is another myth perpetuated by the media: www.cavstheblog.com/?p=32218He may not like the way he's being used, that's something that no one could possible know, unless you're friends with Kevin Love (to which I would respond, why are you here?). However, my counterpoint would be: where's he going to go? And don't say Los Angeles because Kevin Love is not retarded. (On your point about him saying he's staying: You're right. He's not going to come out and say he's leaving. But we've seen in the past from players, LeBron James for example, that they will stop short of declarations one way or the other. Kevin Love is bucking that trend by saying "I am staying" and "The Lakers are not an option." Hell, LeBron wouldn't commit like that to Miami or Cleveland the last time.)
