Hawks are a team that look better than they actually are due to their regular season record. They are kind of like a very rough around the edges Spurs-esque team. They have a solid core of players, but no superstars. Meanwhile, the Wizards are definitely impressive, especially without John Wall.
I can almost guarantee the champion this year will be from the west. All four of those teams are so incredibly good. Where in the east you have the Bulls and Cavs on a pedestal and then all the other teams fall below. I think if the Bulls win at home later today, then they will take that series as it will be tough for Lebron and co. to come back from 3-1. I think the warriors will end up winning the series vs Memphis, but will prob take 7 games. Memphis' bigs are just too dominant right now tho, and they will have to find a way to stop them.
The Clippers are playing insanely well too. Blake Griffin and CP3 are playing out of their minds these playoffs. It was nice to see Rivers put up a good game as well.
Really hard to call who will be standing on the west when all the dust settles. I want to say the Warriors but the Clippers are looking awfully strong as well, and we can never rule out Memphis. On the east I think the Bulls will take it.
So for the finals, I'm gonna go with Warriors and Bulls.

Wow that was a crazy game. Some real dumb officiating. The Bulls really miss that offensive presence from Gasol. Don't know why LeBron wasn't doubled at the end. This should be interesting to see who takes this. If Gasol comes back, I think the Bulls will. No Gasol = no series win for the Bulls.

it feels like it did before d rose's first injury where all of the offensive burden is on him and it is really hurting the bulls. especially with gasol out there is a lack of an offensive threat from the post, and with dunleavy and mirotic not shooting well either there is like no production from anyone who isn't butler or rose.

I really hope the warriors rally, they deserve to win this season and steve kerr winning a ring in his first season would be nuts

Warriors haven't won since '67, Rockets haven't won since '86, Hawks haven't won since '61 and the Cavaliers haven't ever won. This is gonna be incredibly huge for whoever wins.
