I think anyone expecting a different matchup for the Finals is probably fooling themselves too, but like I said, assuming health (which is not a given), I see San Antonio winning it this year.

So it's officially the exact same conference finals as last year except plus Russell Westbrook?

 

Wow, such an interesting, engrossing, unpredictable league.

 

The Grizzlies were in the WCF last year.

Most of the leagues have been returning the same teams. And not much different than other points in the NBAs history.

I said it during the first round that only SA, MIA and OKC really have a legit shot at the title and there they are.

 

SA wins it if the get to the Finals, OKC loses to Miami in the Finals and Indiana ain't beating Miami (God I hope I'm wrong but if you have to rely on Hibbert, you're screwed).

So basically what everybody knew when DRose got hurt.

DRose healthy weren't taking this Heat team down, need one more legit scorer, so no.

Holy s***, Nostradamus in the house.

This is just about as bad as losing Westbrook last year. Sucks for Thunder.

They need to hope that Parker stays equally injured

Yup, as in they have no chance of winning a title if either of those guys is out.

 

They need to hope that Parker stays equally injured

God, I hope not. It'd be nice to have one of those teams fully healthy against Miami.

Every single f***ing year the tides just part for Miami.

I don't know why we haven't started calling Pat Riley "Moses"

Kevin Love has made it clear to the Timberwolves that he intends to become an unrestricted free agent after next season and has no interest in a contract extension this summer to stay in Minnesota, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.

 

Although sources say Love has stopped short of demanding a trade, his position could effectively force the Timberwolves to deal the All-Star forward before next season -- or before the trade deadline in February 2015 at the latest -- if they hope to dodge the risk of losing him without compensation.

 

Sources told ESPN.com that the Golden State Warriors and Chicago Bulls are among the potential trade destinations that intrigue Love.

 

The Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks have likewise been mentioned all season as big-market landing spots that would tempt Love, but going to the best situation for immediate contention is said to be the power forward's priority.

 

Sources say that the Phoenix Suns, armed with several draft assets to offer Minnesota, also have strong interest in trading for Love, but the 25-year-old's interest in joining the Suns is unclear.

Sigh

Star player to the Bulls rumor, you know what that means? Not gonna happen.

They will, however, draft some role players and sign some sort of white guy.

The Nov/Dec/Jan Pacers have shown up today.

Ya what the hell is going on? Love it though.

Heat D is as bad as I've ever seen it in the playoffs.

This is what Indiana has wanted for a month. Didn't care about first two rounds.

Stephenson takes Artest like shots sometimes.

Holy crap, looks like Balta was right, Pacers do have another gear. Hope they can do this three more times.
