Right now... I would take Kevin Love. The current MVP of the league IMO might be Paul George... which is ironic considering other things said.

@king_saturn: Top notch coaching, chemistry and elite execution. That's why they continue to win and that's why they still can make noise in the playoffs. The only bad thing i have to say about them is that i would not have paid splitter 4 years 36 million.

I think it is. Paul George has been playing lights out.

In other news, the Knicks suck and so does the Nets. Poor New York, their professional basketball teams and football teams sucks coconuts.

lol. That's true. Coming in to this year I was expecting the Bulls and Nets to at least be somewhat of a contender......Same with the Knicks... But we see how that has turned out.

I don't think anyone in their right frame of mind would have thought the Washington Wizards would be potentially holding the 4th or 5th seed for the Playoffs... Atlanta is basically a .500 team but who in the hell do they have now ?

Indeed. Also the Bobcats are actually winning games this year.....I repeat the Bobcats are actually winning games and may make the freaking playoffs. Yeah this year is very weird indeed.

The media hates the Spurs because Pop doesn't allow any of his players to talk to the media. When he does allow the players to talk to the media the players don't give them anything. Pop doesn't want a NY or a LA type of environment with the media and that's why the coverage they get is so low. Just look at how Pop handles the on court interviews between qrts and you can see why the media gets mad at the Spurs. Personally I like how Pop handles the media it's not there job to give them material they're supposed to win games not points with reporters.

The Pacers have seem to cool off... Heat should be able to handle them in the Playoffs especially if they get that 1 Seed... Spurs are probably gonna go back the Finals again... Thunder are gonna play them hard in the Playoffs... but I think San Antonio would win in 7.

Heat have been coasting and will most likely get the #1 seed out East with Wade being rested for the start of the three peat, congrats to Durant for winning the regular season MVP while getting to watch LeBron win another Finals MVP. Too bad the Pacers peaked so early, the East was looking like it might be interesting but sadly, no.

LEBRON JAMES HAS HIS OWN APP ON THE SAMSUNG GALAXY!! WTF!!

Clippers can beat OKC. I can see that going 7 games

I was hoping Portland can beat the Spurs but game 1 isn't giving me much hope

Heat should beat the Nets in 5. Six at the most

I would love for the Wizards to beat Indy.... but I wouldn't bet on that happening

At the beginning of the season my picks were Spurs and the Heat in a rematch in the Finals. The Clippers came out and punched OKC in the mouth in game one, but I still think OKC should beat them. Either the Spurs or OKC will come out of the west, while I'm 99.9% sure the Heat will come out of the east.

The first round was pretty spectacular. I wouldn't count he Nets out quite yet. We did that after their poor start to the year and now look at them.

Haven't been on this thread in quite some time. So my sixers sucked ass just as I predicted (smh) and my pelicans were ravaged by injuries (smfh). Sam Hinkie better have the best draft in the history of professional sports. Monty Williams better get his head out of his @$$ and figure out how to utilize all the young talent we have. Spurs are being the spurs and Obi Wan Ginobili is now back from being a Force ghost. Heat probably make the finals again so its possibly Spurs vs Heat 2.0 or Thunder vs Heat 2.0. I want the Clippers to make it but it aint lookin good at the moment

I know, but it happens way too often for OKC. They have two of the best players in the NBA, a top defensive player, two other solid starters, and a solid bench. On paper, they should beat the Clippers handily. And that isn't a knock on the Clippers, who are a very good team, but OKC should be much better than they are performing. OKC should have the won the series already, in relatively close games.

Thunder has a solid bench ? A lot of times that bench of the Thunder shows up small... hence why Durant and Westbrook are always needed to put up good nights on offense. Ibaka is nice on Defense but he can get bust on... especially against a Griffin or D. Jordan... I think it's quite evenly matched up personally... Clippers have more offensive threats.

@king_saturn: That's what I mean by OKC being better on paper. The bench and the rest of the starters out side of KD and Westbrook should be performing much better than they are. Last season, and the season before, OKC was dominant, both starters and bench. And their lineup this year is more or less the same. Clips are definitely taking advantage of OKC's shortcomings, and when you're OKC, you can't allow that against a good team like LA. The Clips have done a good job of making the Thunder pay for their mistakes.

SAS vs OKC!! 1 and 2 of the west!!! and IND vs MIA 1 and 2 of the east!!!

This is going to be awesome ….. fundamental basketball vs aggressive Basketball!!! OKC sweep the spurs in the regular series but the Spurs are playing really good, Durant and Westbrook are 2 monsters!! But the Spurs have a great team and a great coach I don’t think OKC can beat the Spurs if they play the same way the play MEM and LAC cause IMO the spurs have a little bit of both does team good D and great Offensive weapon, is graduation time for Leonard (btw have been great in this playoff) his going against the offensive juggernaut KD I know his not going to stop him no one can but let’s see if he can make him work for does shot

Key to OKC victory IMO

  • Consistent Production from team not name Durant and Westbrook
  • Good shot % from KD and Westbrook (especially RW he go for a lot of bad shot but he tend to make all does bad shot)

Key to SAS victory

  • Parker needs to have a good series
  • Good team Defense

prediction Spurs in 6

And Indiana wanted all year to play the heat with home court advantage so you got your wish no excuse now! They better not play the same way the play ATL and WAS not to disrespect neither team but Miami is going to destroy the Pacers if they don’t bring their A game.

Key to IND victory

  • The need a strong start (they cannot let Miami go away in the first half)
  • Hibert need a monster series
  • Focus in the Miami heat and play basketball

Key to MIA victory

  • Healthy wade
  • Bosh needs a good series
  • Lebron needs a couple of monster game

Prediction I want the Pacer to win but my money would go to the Heat in 5

thats just my opinion either way im going to enjoy boh series and the final even if my spurs don’t win (but im going to root my team to the end :P)

I was seriously thinking that Kerr was going to the Knicks, shocked me that he chose Golden State. I have a feeling he is going to do really well especially with this Warriors roster.
