2014 NBA Playoffs Predictions

Post by Sunsfan4life »

Just because we aren't in them, doesn't mean we can't talk about them.

Here is a thread dedicated to everything and all things playoff related.

Who is everyone rooting for?

Best storyline(s) going in?

Most anticipated 1st rd series?

Predictions on who's going to win?

Even without Bogut Clippers/Warriors should be fun. Those teams hate each other. That's probabaly the series I am most looking forward too.

Rooting for? East anyone but Brooklyn or Miami. Pacers/Raptors would qualify.

West? I Can't stand The Clippers rather see anyone but them. Rockets are fun to watch and I like Harden and Parsons. Disappointed we prob won't get Thunder/Rockets unless both teams make the WCF.

Usually we have a thread for each series, or we did the last couple of years. Well...the interesting series at least. This will do for general comments about the playoffs for now.
Go Suns!

I think just one thread is enough considering the traffic we have at this point, at least until the second round.

Please. It has nothing to do with you, SDC, and I don't hate you. You may irritate me at times (all the time? lol) but I guarantee I have ZERO hate for you. And yes, I like to give you a hard time about wanting to trade Dragic.

I don't like Miami because of the way they were put together and their whining and complaining attitude. I don't like Houston mainly because of the whining, prima donna Howard. Any other questions?
