Warriors are playing out of their mind, and some beautiful basketball right now, but I just can't get behind them. I just don't like them.

Steph Curry for all his amazing play this season and last, I still always find myself rooting against him and the GSW, honestly don't know why.

Whaaaa???? That's the first i hear that. They have a real shot at breaking the single season wins record, as a Bulls fan, i wouldn't mind seeing that.

Same here brother. But I know why I hate them, they kicked my Nuggets out a few years ago when I thought it was our time

I felt the exact same way with the Miami Heat. I respected their talent but I always found myself rooting against Lebron...

I like Golden State though. Really hope they beat Clevand in the finals again!

Well done Raptors, they made it to the conference finals for the first time. Well deserved, I hope they can fuck up with Cleveland.

This man is on another level, he makes it look easy, just like Zola with his freekicks, amazing.

This nba playoff is just so hard to watch. I like gsw last year, they were fun. This season it is just ridiculous, the other team can play well and gsw play badly yet they can still win with ease. 

In the East, Cleveland is by far the best team. I mean  yeah Boston won one game but honestly if they replace LeBron with maybe Harrison Barnes, I think Cleveland will still win the East. Nba playoff has become a blowout fest.

I will not surprise if gsw go through the playoff unbeaten in this season.

has anyone been following the NBA? some very interesting teams this season, it feels this season is even more competitive than previous years, many great young players and also GSW are struggling, maybe new Champion this year? i will just wait until playoffs because regular season form doesnt translate to playoff form. Cheers

Raptors fan here.  They still aren't getting any respect, which is great.  I have 2 friends with season tickets so I go to most playoff games, and they have a great chance of getting to the finals.  GS are still going to be there.  They are losing more often then previous seasons, but I can't see anyone beating them 4 times in 7 games.  They only need to get hot for a quarter and they put it away.  Too many match up problems in the playoffs as well.

Raptors have been doing great this season with the aquisition of Kahwi and they have a much better chance to make the finals now that Lebron has left the east, they always crumbled when Lebron and the Cavs showed up. Regarding the Warriors it will be very interesting to see what Cousins will do once he gets back, it might just help the Warriors get that defensive and offensive stability they need right now. Cheers
