The Playoffs again

The NBA playoffs are on to the conference finals. After Miami forced a game 7 at home Toronto put up a strong showing in game 7 to advance the eastern conference finals. They are playing the Cavaliers, who haven't lost a playoff game yet this year and came off 8 days of rest. The cavs took game 1 at home, running away with a 31 point win in which LeBron James and kyrie Irving put up spectacular numbers. In the west the conference finals are tied at 1 a piece after Russell Westbrook dominated game 1 on the road and Stephen curry got it done at home in game 2. The Cavaliers will in my opinion likely sweep the raptors in 4 games, whereas I think that the thunder will be able to steal at least 1 more game from the golden state warriors.

More NBA playoffs

The NBA playoffs continue to have a few surprises, but not many. The thunder finished the spurs in 6 games last night, which basically nobody expected. LaMarcus Aldridge basically disappeared outside of the first two games. The Cavaliers picked up their second consecutive sweep, looking very impressive. The overachieving heat continue their dogfight with the severely underachieving raptors, and the Warriors easily closed out the mediocre trail blazers in 5 games. These match ups don't surprise me much, and I expect that whatever east team wins will get swept by Cleveland, whereas the thunder should give golden state a decent fight.

The NBA playoffs week 2

Yeah I know these are repetitive. Anyway the NBA playoffs are on to the second round and they are going how I expected for the most part. The only real shake-up is the Clippers, who lost their two nothing series lead over Portland when stars Chris Paul and Blake Griffin were benched with injuries. The Hawks, who looked Unstoppable against Boston are now getting clobbered by the Cavaliers, who scored an NBA record 25 three-pointers last night. While the Miami Heat are looking strong against the weak Toronto Raptors after blowing out Charlotte in game 7 of the first round. I expect Steph Curry to rest for the entire second round, as Golden State will likely sweep the Trailblazers even without his services. They will be well rested to play a tired Spurs team in the Western Conference Finals by my predictions.
