OMG, Curry went off in the second half of yesterday's game, and the ROCKETs could not stop him. Add KD with his usual, and the ROCKETs are really depending on CP and JH to by ALL world beaters isn't going to work. Celtic's can win the series....as long as they don't lose at HOME, LeBron season SHOULD come to an end :o :- ...easier said than done. :-$
rockets need great full-team performances like they did in game 2 for Ws, I don't think they can get three more of those unfortunately - also they really need to get game 4 to have a chance in the series. even though I pick cavs to win the east, I think celtics would probably have a better shot against gsw. they play really good defense, and they run sets different than other teams in the league. still, I think celts would be 5 to 1 underdogs against gsw and cavs maybe 8 to 1. if they had kyrie, It'd be a much closer series.

:hello1: This is why you're the coolest cow....I totally agree with you, and with the series tied up with CAVs and Celtics, I truly believe who ever wins game 5 will win the series. Game 4 is HUGE for the rockets, and I get the feeling GWS is going to go for the kill...... :- :wink:

:- That's pretty much what it is....this weekend's games will be must see NBA playoffs, and I'm sure the league is just loving this. All 4 teams are worthy to go to the FINALs, and I believe both series will end up in a winner take all game 7. :hello1: :boxing: :D

Epic game 7s for both series....feel bad for CP3....Celtics are in great shape with such a very young and talent team....KI and GH will make a huge impact for the Celtics...but the CAVs and Warriors do it again! :roll: :D \:D/

vegas has gsw at 1/10 and cleveland at 6/1 so that puts it right at 8 to 1. maybe I should run a sportsbook :lol:

games 1 and 3 were winnable, cavs as a team are doing a lot better than I though they would. I still say gsw in 4 or 5, but I could see cavs going on a run as well. went to an online odds site and saw cavs are now 100 to 1. another intersting futures bet, where will lebron be next season:
3/2 - rockets
5/2 - lakers
4/1 - cavs
9/2 - 76ers
12/1 - clippers
12/1 - spurs
18/1 - knicks
30/1 - celtics
30/1 - warriors
30/1 - heat
