Despite the appearance of balance and interesting matchups at the start of the playoffs, at the end of the day we have the 1-2 seeds facing each other in the WCF and ECF after all. Predictable.

I have to agree that we're likely looking at Warriors-Cavs in the Finals. I wanted to believe in Atlanta, but they haven't really shown me "it" yet. Nothing would make me happier than seeing them dethrone Lebron, though. Go Hawks!

These playoffs have sucked. I thought there were three strong teams in the west (GSW, SAS, LAC), and between one and three in the east (CLE, and CHI, ATL). Houston has surprised, in my view. But the last two years, the west was a bloodbath with all those talented teams. This year, not nearly as strong.

Houston is deep everywhere, save for guard. I thought there was a bit too much on Harden. But they edged out the Clips. As much as I admire (and I hate to say that) the Spurs, I think time is catching up. Parker also was not healthy.

Watch out for Washington in the East. They may be a player and a coach away from being at the top. NeNe looks spent ... Randy W. relies a bit too much on him.

If they both win, we'll call it the Hox-Rox Finals.

I want to believe in Atlanta but I just don't see them getting by LeBron and company. I don't think it will matter though. I think the Warriors will steamroll to the title.

“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

Trevor Ariza has been absolutely money the last 2 rds in the playoffs. The rox bringing him back was skeptical, but he's been their 3rd best player in the playoffs and clutch.

Looks like both conference finals are going to by 4-0. At least I think we'll see a pretty good Finals.

You're saying KK's absence will actually help ATL take Game 4?
