Brad Stevens has gone about building an identity for this team without the hype. He has stayed under the radar, deflecting the attention to the players. I am very proud of this team. A team with only one star, usurps the defending champion who boast of 3 super stars and first team all NBA players to finish first. While finishing first does not necessarily depict a long run in the playoff's, i think it is worth celebrating for the players and fans. #greenrunsdep 1 Like 1 Share |

have never watched any bulls game all season but that matchup is the most likely chance for an upset. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Skywalker5(m): 9:10am On Apr 13, 2017 |
i thought Miami will make the playoffs. Thats a shame. Hahaha. Rockets Vs Thunder. Haba, thats not fair oo. The battle for MVP continues |

Roland17:You guys aren't coming out that West. Malkin is back. The Penguins going for that repeat |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:06pm On Apr 13, 2017 |
East Celtics vs Bulls: Wade is back but these Bulls just seem a bit too dysfunctional to cause an upset. However dysfunctional outfits have done so in the past. Still think Celts prevail. 4-2 Cavs vs Pacers: Picking up Stephenson is looking like a master stroke. Though Paul George is balling out of his mind it must be said. The Cavs are slumping with Kyrie's health suspect and Bron Bron's minutes through the roof. This matchup has the ingredients for an upset. Two defensively indisciplined sides but I go with the guy who has never been eliminated in the 1st round. Cavs 4-1 Raptors vs Bucks: Getting Lowry back is a huge deal for the Raptors. The Bucks merely getting to this point is a miracle after losing Jabari Parker. Still feel their lack of outside shooting is a big problem. And who do they have that can slow down DeRozan? Raptors 4-1 Wizards vs Hawks: Most evenly matched teams. The Hawks matchup well with the Wizards too and these Wizards with their whining and lack of defense have me sniffing an upset. I'm torn between 4-2 for the Wizards or 4-2 for the Hawks |

A40: Haha!!!!!, Bring the Pegs on (If they even make it out)!!! They looked good on the ice last night against the blue jackets, and Malkin showed why he is one of the best Centerman in the league with 2 assists. That being said, they are not defeating the dynamic duo of T.J Oshie and A. Ovechkin in the eastern conference finals. The caps have been perennial disappointments during the post season, however, this season looks entirely different, kind of reminiscent of last season for the Penguins. The Caps have speed in offense, force in defense and brute power when needed. As for the west, i watched the Blues v Wilds last night also, and i don't see how any of both can stop the Blackhawks. The Blues with Taresenko were lucky at Minnesota because Jake Allen was magnificent in the post. The Blackhawks have an easier ride to the finals in comparison to the Pegs. We have a blend of youth and experience. P. Kane, J. Toews, M. Hossa and B. Seabrook are super stars with play off experience. The only teething problem for the Blackhawks, especially in the playoff's has been goal tending with C. Crawford. He can be very inconsistent in the post season. Last season, he said he was trying too hard and lost focus, but he can also be great when he does not lose focus. The Ducks are the only team i worry about in the western conference because they are quite scrappy. |

Roland17:Capitals? Mschewww. Na today? Those ones na regular season merchants. Facing the same team in 2 weeks has a way of exposing the Capitals. Sidney Crosby will always son Ovechkin the Good Lord has made it so. My Pens have not 1 but two competent goalies who can suit up any given night. The teams that worry me a bit are the Bruins with Marchand, Bergeron, Nash and the Rangers because of the playoff experience plus the past battles. I'm very confident with Malkin back and knowing goals can come from Kessel, Rust, Sheary, Hornqvist and just about anybody As for the Blues being lucky its almost a law that you can't win a Cup without a good/great goalie especially on the road. You guys might struggle with their bruising style like last year. Toews game has also dipped this year. Whether he can come to life in the playoffs we would see but LA Kings in the years past showed the way to beat the Hawks and the Blues and Sharks are two teams I feel can do the job |

Roland17: This your East prediction. In one view, it's plausible but then in another, you want Celtics to move in peace |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:53pm On Apr 13, 2017 |
Decale: LMAOOOO. Truthfully, i evaluated each team based on their momentum heading into the post season. Momentum is very important in the post season. Irrespective, the Celtics are guaranteed a difficult post season. |

Roland17: Let your teams achievements stand on its own, no? Isnt it interesting that you still have to mention the cavs to help burnish what the celtics have done this year.. lebron's greatness is a spectre for friend and foe . Anyways, lets see what your boys are going to do. Btw, the cavs have picked a hot potato. when p george gets hot, he just gets hot. And he can win a game or two by himself. |
