imo east has 6-7 good teams (depending on how you feel about the pacers) and the west has 5-6 good teams (depending on how you feel about the mavs). but the west has 4 of the 5 best teams

dubs in 5 - I think there will be a slight letdown after the big push to 73 winsspurs in 4 - they'll be motivated by the extra rest they'd get after a sweepthunder in 6 - mavs will dig deep for two close wins, but it won't matterclips in 7 - blazers match up well, but not with chris paulcavs in 5 - cavs have too many flaws to sweep itraptors in 5 - raps could sweep, but why bother?hornets in 6 - they have been rising fastceltics in 7 - they will unswoon in time to advance
further, I predict that nearly half of these predictions will be inaccurate

just because i didn't see much conversation about it in the media: though donovan's coaching was generally pretty astute, the decision to let Adams and Ibaka follow Steph and Klay to the perimeter in that last game was a terrible one.after the spurs/dubs series, I have come around to Adams as an elite player and possibly top five center. curious to see if his body can stand up to the pain he's putting it through and deliver the same results in '17.
― ulysses, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 22:39 (seven years ago) link
Adams had a good playoffs but idk if he's better than many of the other good centers that people forget about since they're on bad teams like vooch and gobert

adams is great feel like he needs to add one more thing to his game to be elite. he prob could have some playmaking ability if he played on another team.

Was just thinking this, basically that short jumper ibaka used to use before they shoved him out to the line, could be a good option for Russell drives that get squashed or just a way to add some shell game to the p-n-r with Russ
