    Lmao, not sure if any of you saw the very end after the post game interview. But Harden wanted to give his shoes away so he tossed one into the crowd and then was walking with the other one trying to find someone to give it to. So he took some guy's sharpie(who was trying to get his jersey signed) to sign the shoe, then gave the shoe to someone next to him without signing the guy's jersey. :'(

    Nice of him to give away the shoes though.

    Really thought the Clippers were gonna come out of the West. How you blow a 3-1 series with that much talent on your team, idk. Hope GS s----s on them.

    Wouldn't shock me to see Cavs and Warriors both win their next series in about 5 games.

    Cavs will win in 7 games, Warriors 4-1. I'm pretty sure of those results

    Josh Smith is probably the biggest X-factor in the playoffs. When his three point shots are falling it opens the floor for Harden. He's the perfect role player for Harden and Howard. I think they have a good chance of making the finals.

    meh, howard is just too unreliable offensively for the rockets to make the finals IMO. he's played well lately, but can't be depended on. maybe i'll be wrong (doubt it) but keep in mind the warriors have home-court advantage too

    I think Howard could have a big series, if he plays smart. Crazy how far the Warriors have made it in the playoffs when they don't really have any size. The Warriors aren't the same if Thompson and Curry aren't both shooting well. If Harden could play defense the Rockets would have a greater chance.

    you're right, he could have a big series, especially since he's been playing well in his last few games. all i was saying is howard is a bit shaky for a player who the rockets so heavily depend on.

    and i know what you mean....the warriors have made it really far for a team that is so reliant on jump shooting. normally, teams who go far have some type of big man presence down low and they don't really have that. but they're able to overcome not having a big man who scores a lot because curry and thompson aren't just good shooters.........they're exceptional

    I think the Rockets are a much easier matchup for the Warriors than the Clippers would have been. I got Warriors in 6. I really don't have any idea what to make of the East finals. I think ATL is tough and will cause the Cavs a lot of problems. I think the Cavs will make the finals, but wouldn't be surprised at all if the Hawks take it.

    imagine a rockets vs hawks final.:westbrook3:
    The mainstream in the nba will be pissed I'm 100% sure the nba wants it to be Cavs warriors since the avg person will watch a game or two cause it's LeBron and curry

    This would never happen tho. I just cant see any team with LeBron on it losing to a team that gave up 2 games to the f---ing Brooklyn Nets.

    Guess we better get used to it pretty soon...I did see the NBA's schedule for this next round though and they're doing it the right away, games every other day in each series so we get 1 game a day every day. None of that 3 day break in between BS they sometimes do in the earlier rounds, think they do that in the finals too at times.

    You make a good point. I hate the summer without basketball. Free agency and the draft are awesome but I just love watching the game.

    Everyone thinks the Cavs are going to have a cake walk to the finals, the Hawks are going to put up a good fight. Atlanta's PG's should have a great series and so is Al Horford. I would pick the Hawks to win the series in 7 if they had Thabo.
