Sixers have a pretty easy path to the conference finals thanks to the kyrie injury. But I don't see them getting past LeBron

I am willing to bet 2$ that GSW and HOU will not end up in the Finals. No. Make it 20$.

If the Cavs aren't gonna make the finals (I say they have about a 40% chance of making it) I really hope we get to see someone besides the Warriors in the finals. So like Raptors vs Whoever would be pretty refreshing.

So like Raptors vs Whoever would be pretty refreshing. You really think the Raptors are gonna beat LeBron? The cavs are an awful team but they still have by far the best player in the conference. The Raptors have never come close to even threatening lbj. That 6 game conference finals a couple years back was a complete joke

I predicted NOP > POR because Playoff Rondo will be in full effect.
Also yes, Lebron > TOR because Playoff Lebron is also a thing.

That's my Eastern Conference chances to make finals. Maybe could take a few points from the field and add it to Cavs and Toronto tbh.

I'd say 80% LeBron 10% Toronto 8% Philly 2% giannis becomes GOD and averages 45, 15 and 15

They're a team that's in flux, a bit disorganised, whereas our Celtics are like a Roman legion: one guy goes down, there's two others to step up.

Was kind of hoping for an OKC GS first round matchup, but OKC Jazz might end up being a super compelling series to watch. Elite D of Utah going up against the firepower of OKC and Mr Triple Double himself.
Also anyone else getting a young OKC squad feeling with this Sixers team? They have the two all world talents, the bench star/mob, and the third wheel big in the same formula that Finals run team against the Heat had

Every year I pick the Raptors to beat Lebron, every year I don't really believe it lol. This is the first time I've thought that maybe they have a legitimate shot.
I'm also hoping for the Rockets to upset Golden State. The Warriors vs Lebron is getting old.

Call me crazy but I feel like the Sixers could make the Finals this year I don't think this is too crazy. Before the season I didn't think the Sixers would even make the playoffs. I thought it would take them much longer to figure out how to win, and that players not named Embiid would have a really steep development curve to get up to speed. Turns out it took them about 50 games to figure it out. They were 25-25 at one point this season, since then they've gone 27-5. I think them and the Raptors have the best shot at making the Finals, after Lebron of course.

If you only take 3 shots by half time it is saying something. Don't blame him, but just saying.

Lebrons not even getting back to the ECF.
Sixers have a better shot IMO.
Houston Wins the Championship. It's just their year...

I love how they aren't even making a big deal of him averaging a triple double this year. I fully believe they will do anything not to give LeBron another MVP.
