2016 1st Rnd - Predictions / Upsets?

[Timdawgg]

Warriors in 6

Woah woah woah.


How in the world are the Rockets defending the perimeter well enough, or hitting enough shots, to win two games against the Warriors?

Michael Beasley..just kidding..

I just think the Warriors are going to have a little emotional letdown where the Rockets maybe steal game 1.  It won't be defensive slugfest but I can see Harden catching fire and Ariza has been playing great for the last month. I just don't think it will be a sweep for GS. The Rockets have been one of the most disappointing teams this year but I still don't think they are as bad as their record was this year.  They have some good wins against the Cavs, Thunder and Raptors this past month.

A much better Rockets team that was on a good run after coming back from down 3-1 against the Clips in last year's playoffs still got swept by the Warriors.  And the Warriors are BETTER this year.

I'm say Warriors win it all.

[JohnBoy65]

Is Charlotte over Miami really an upset? I don't think it is.

[Drucci]

Is Charlotte over Miami really an upset? I don't think it is.

It depends if you think that Miami has more star power in Wade only (or that Bosh could play) or that Charlotte's team as a whole is a better unit.

[Denis998]

Call me crazy, but I think Detroit is a better rounded team than Cleveland. I think they have a chance to upset. They really are a whole different team with Harris. Detroit leads the series 3-1, although one win Cavs rested their starters.

There is a lot of parody.

 

[dang] I hate auto correct. That, however, is actually pretty [dang] funny. I'll be here all week folks. Don't forget to tip your waitstaff.
