If by a miracle the Pacers beat the Heat, I don't see them beating any teams from the West. |
i was just saying in my opinion personally to me the most fun matchup to watch has been Pacers vs Heat these last few years because of how tight their series always ends up being, so i disagree that Pacers need a miracle to beat the Heat, they've come closer to that than Spurs and Thunder did in the Finals... i really feel like when i watch them play they are dead even.... Spurs in the finals vs Heat is just, i mean you just have the feeling that Heat will eventually edge them, so meh.... Thunder vs Heat in finals is just watching Kevin Durant trying to shoot his way to a ring not realizing even averaging 40 or 50 ppg in the Finals isn't gonna winn it for you because at the end of the day you need your team, not even MJ could do it all himself... Russ will shoot you out of about 2-4 games in the Finals series guaranteed, and other "anchors" on the team will disappear for stretches..
anyway that's just how I feel about these teams personally.....
and as for my team the Clips, I been hyping them up back when they had Del Negro which was a mistake, basically everything I said back then about this player doin this this guy doin that has come to pass now that Doc is in place he's made all the changes I hoped the team would make... including my personal favorite, as much as I love Chris, getting the ball out of his hand a bit more and having him play as an off guard at times..., and they're playing like I always told you guys they would... but I'm honestly not expecting much as I do believe this is a tinkering year for Doc, he's gonna go into these playoffs and figure out what is not gonna work for him... I expect them to go deep next year, this year 2n'd round exit....
and if it's Clips Warriors first round, I'm really not sure who comes out on that one, Warriors always somehow manage to fuck with Blake and throw him off his game (Bogut and Lee) |
