Spurs are gonna try to do what only the '95 Rockets have done, which is win the title as the sixth seed and repeat as champions. They're gonna have to fight like hell to get there.

Davis will get his. It all depends on how exactly Tyreke/Jrue fare guarding Steph Curry. Hah. "Guarding Steph Curry". No one guards Steph Curry. They only mildly annoy him. Unless your name is Kawhi Leonard.

I'm no Scott Brooks fan, but getting rid of him and bringing in Billy Donovan is a dangerous play

I hate how they stretch these series out with 2 and 3 days between games. I get the ad revenue thing, but goddamn, NBA.

I can't even begin to express how disappointed I am that none of you have predicted the Celtics to win the NBA Championship, let alone advance past the Cavaliers.

Can you IMAGINE if the Pelicans manage to knock off the Warriors? I fully expect the Warriors to go down in round 2, the sorry sad sack ass fruit booty Hawks definitely won't make it past round 2.

Raps were 3-1 against Atlanta this year. Toronto isn't an ideal match-up for the Hawks if they were both to advance.

According to Marc Stein sources told ESPN that the salary cap will rise to $89 million in 2016-17 and over $100 million in 2017-18. Holy f***, LeBron's going to get PAID.

Everyone is going to get paid. Lots of players will be getting contracts they most certainly wouldn't have under the old salary cap.
