Just fast forward to Golden State vs Houston. The rest is garbage

Predictions:

(1) Toronto Raptors vs. (8) Washington Wizards - Raptors in 5 (All that talent and Wizards get 8th seed smh)
(2) Boston Celtics vs. (7) Milwaukee Bucks - Boston in 7 (Someone needs to help Giannis or Boston is taking this)
(3) Philadelphia 76ers vs. (6) Miami Heat - Heat in 6 (This is a tough one...but Sixers too young imo)
(4) Cleveland Cavaliers vs. (5) Indiana Pacers - Cavs in 6 (Pacers are no pushovers)

(1) Houston Rockets vs. (8) Minnesota Timberwolves - Rockets in 4 (It's the Rockets)
(2) Golden State Warriors vs. (7) San Antonio Spurs - Warriors in 4 (Kawhi you weak af)
(3) Portland Trail Blazers vs. (6) New Orleans Pelicans - Blazers in 5 (Portland over-rated as hell but Pelicans are so meh)
(4) Oklahoma City Thunder vs. (5) Utah Jazz - Jazz in 6 (Jazz is a nightmare match-up for Thunder imho)

Raptors over Cavs in 7 (Lebron's supporting cast is a joke and so is there defense)
Boston over Heat in 7 (This is a toss-up)
Raptors over Heat in 5 (Canucks finally make it to the final - only to get demolished)

Rockets over Jazz in 6 (Too much firepower for the Rockets)
Warriors over Blazers in 5 (Blazers suck ass...most over-rated team in the playoffs. Curry declares again that he's back)
Warriors over Rockets in 6 (Great series but Warriors have 4 top 20 players)

Warriors over Raptors in 4 (Curry finally wins Finals MVP)

warriors got this

Go Ws and Go Philly

Congrats on the Wolves Val.

14 years is a long time to not see playoff basketball

Safe pick: Warriors vs Cavs
Sexy pick: Rockets vs. Sixers (with Embiid)

Warriors will win again. I'm rooting for the bucks because of Giannis.

i'm gonna miss saturday's dubs game because of the b******t start time

I'm just praying for a fully healthy Rockets v Warriors. Could be one for the ages with how quick those games can turn with all the 3s. No lead would be safe.

I'm just hoping for the Spurs/Warriors series tied at 1-1 and then Kawhi saves the Spurs playoffs and plays his first game in game 3 and takes them to another championship.

Kawhi is not coming back. He is gettin' traded to EC to the highest bidder this summer imho.
