2018 NBA finals predictions
 
What are your predictions of the up incoming 2018 NBA finals.
Personally I believe GSW will sweep the cavs with lebron averaging 40ppg 12rbg 10ag
I already know houston will get blown out tomorrow by the warriors so don’t waste your time predicting them to even make it to the finals.

Houston v. Cavs

Cavs win the series in game 6

Warriors vs Cavs. Warriors will (unfortunately) win

Thallen 05-29-2018 01:40 PM

I don't usually complain about officiating, but that was some of the worst I've ever seen last night… Three shooting fouls on Harden go uncalled, all from behind the arc, and then Warriors get a free moving screen - that could be a 12-point swing or even more

Also, that was bad timing for the Rockets to set the record for the worst three-point shooting streak in playoff history (0-27)… Trevor Ariza, 41 minutes on 0-12 shooting

If Cavs win a game, it’ll be a miracle. If they win the series, I will be shocked.

I was rly cheering for the rockets to win cause theyre an easier matchup for lebron.

asley 05-30-2018 07:01 PM

to be honest, i think cavs is trash.
GO SUNS!!!

Westbrook Graal 05-30-2018 08:11 PM

Lets be real here lebron will average 50ppg 15rpg 15apg and somehow his team will still lose lol... maybe put his assist numbers down cuz lets be real with jordan flippin clarkson on the perimiter, lebron wont get as many assists as he otherwise could

PigParty 05-31-2018 01:20 PM

LeBron James can't win a series with a 1 v. 5. He needs another decent player to step up and the rest of the team not to screw them over. If Love can step up every game and be consistent, the Cavs have a chance. If it's James v. The Warriors, then the Warriors will win the series in game 5.

Thallen 05-31-2018 02:39 PM

If it goes to 7, or if the Cavs win, I have reason to believe that the NBA is actually rigged for ratings

Sawyer 05-31-2018 04:22 PM

Golden State is going to take it again, even finals Lebron can't carry his team this time

Reggie* 06-01-2018 04:41 AM

PigParty 06-01-2018 04:55 AM

too late..rep me though cause I betted earlier enough ;P

Poor officiating down the last 3 minutes. The no-foul call on Looney slapping Lebron’s arm when driving to the basketball, the foul call on Lebron yet he had all ball stripping KD, the foul call on George Hill yet also had all ball when stripping KD (this possession is what caused GSW to go to the FT). There was also a lane violation from Draymond and Durant but refs ain’t going to call it.

Aside from the missed FT and the boneheaded play from JR Smith, the Cavs would’ve won by 2-3 points had the refs made the right calls.

Westbrook Graal 06-01-2018 02:36 PM

I've lost all respect sorry this is absolutely rigged for money... Or ratings in not sure which. I won't be silent . Just saw it live sry.

They don't care about ratings by themselves. Ratings = more money because more viewers = more ad revenue and more sponsorship revenue. But no, the NBA doesn't rig games for that. If they did, the refs would have helped the Cavs rather than hurting them since the Warriors are favored to win the series.

Only missed call in the L2M was a foul on Draymond and the Cavs went to the FT line anyway in the same possession

Feel bad for Bron but his teammates lost this for him, not the refs.

If the nba were to rig the finals for more money, why would they have cavs vs warriors again? Rockets vs Celtics would have brung so much more money

SMH cavs blownout. Kevin love isn’t all that tbh he’s helping but they need way more than him. I miss the early season cavs tbh even tho they sucked. It was somewhat nice seeing rose, crowder, IT, and wade. It could have worked under some good coaching. Should have at least kept rose and wade

Westbrook Graal 06-04-2018 02:42 PM

At most on a good night for the cavs, theres 3-4 people contributing atleast 2 or 3 buckets. This team is going to be abysmal next season when lebron leaves.

Rockets/celtics would have been funner to watch
