RE: The Official NBA Discussion Thread
I love the Warriors, however the experienced Spurs will really punish Golden State for their young mistakes. It will be a good series, but I think the Spurs will pull through and win it in six. This is a good matchup of youth vs experience.
Heat vs Bulls is a good matchup imo. Bulls actually have an advantage because of their far superior rebounding (Miami has what, Bosh and Birdman?). Miami does give Bulls some grief due to their better offense, so it will be interesting to see how one of the lowest scoring teams in the league keeps up outside of their defense. It's moments like this you wish DRose will man up and return to give Bulls that much need scoring. Undecided, but the Bulls fan and Heat hater in me says that Bulls will win lol.
OKC vs Grizzlies. Haha, no. Certainly doesn't help that your second best scorer is gone going against the best defense in the league. Grizzlies in five, maybe six if Durant makes things interesting.
I honestly don't care about Knicks and Pacers. Both teams had terrible spurts in round one, so no telling which goofs up more in this matchup. Pacers suck away from home and Knicks played too much iso last round. Since Knicks have the home court advantage, let's just say they win for that one reason.
