Thunder vs Celtics in the NBA Finals....OKC will win the 2017-18 NBA Championship

[director_of_bands]

Im sooooo not missing this Jazz game tonight if they look ANYTHING like what I saw against the knicks then Im almost ready to hop on board for WCF ....Finals is pushing it but if they are healthy in the playoffs then sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit

OKC matches up well with him. I like the ability of the Thunder to switch everything defensively on them. Steven Adams is the difference maker in this matchup. Just like he was in 2016.

Also GS is due for some injuries this year. They got lucky the last 3 years with all their western opponents getting hurt. This year it gets paid back. One of their key pieces will get hurt.

Bet your account on it.

I'm black.

So no chance of this being true.

They still need another piece before I'm ready to say they can overtake the Warriors in a 7 game series.

 

[Trapperman Dave]

They got Utah tonight I fully expect them to dominate

I saw everything I needed to see last night. I wasn't high on this team going into the season but man was I wrong. This team will be scary good. They fit so well together. Paul George and Melo are just what Russ needed. And Westbrook looks like he will be playing under control this year. They all got their numbers and did it in such an unselfish manner. Also their defense is gonna be suffocating. This team is the antidote to the Warriors. They'll beat them in the WCF 4-2.

OKC Thunder vs Boston Celtics in the 2018 NBA Finals. Thunder win 4-1.

Check the stats fellas. Teams Opponent

My prediction of Thunder vs Celtics in the Finals is looking real good right now. Thunder and Celtics are #1 and #2 in point differential thus far this season. And they are the top 2 defensive teams. Exactly the formula you need to win the NBA Championship.

Crown me the top NBA expert on the coli.

Boston?


Boy if you don't get

What now? Boston is #1 in the East. They are #1 overall in team defensive rating and #2 in point differential. Only team better than them thru 8 games is my pick to the win NBA championship....the OKC Thunder.

 

[Swagnificent]

I'm fukking dead at you predicting Thunder making it then turn around to say Boston will get past Bucks, Wizards, Cavs, Raptors. I have doubts of them getting past lower seeded teams too, if any team is gonna get exposed it will be Boston.

Still doubting my pick Bron stan?

Boston and OKC are the 2 top defensive teams in the NBA so far and lead the league in point differential. They've been bodying teams lately. Once they get into a rhythm, they are gonna smoke the NBA.

3rd best team is Golden State. Their defense sucks this year so my prediction of the Thunder beating them in the Western Conference finals is looking good right now.

And as I predicted, Cavs are GARBAGE.

It's a nice dream for Bron haters, but that pretty much went out the window the second Gordon Hayward shattered his leg.

Maybe in 2 years when Hayward fully recovers or Tatum is ready to take over.

What was that again?

Boston has the best record in the NBA right now. They are #1 in defensive efficiency and #2 in point differential. The two most important stats in basketball. They're the class of the East and nobody is even close.

The best team in the NBA, however, is the OKC Thunder. They're winning the title this year. They're #2 in defensive efficiency and #1 in point differential right now. Those are the stats that indicate who is gonna win the championship.

 

[Swagnificent]

They played the fukking knicks and the game was competitive til the mid 3rd quarter

What about now breh? Celtics and Thunder are #1 and #2 in defensive rating and point differential thru the first 8 games. Signs of a great basketball team.

And both teams aren't even fully gelling yet. Once its mid-season everyone will recognize just how much better they are than everyone else. Only Golden State is legit competition for them.

Celtics and Thunder = 2 best teams in the NBA

 

[Swagnificent]

But how will they beat GS?...GS is better in every aspect of basketball

Defensively Golden State is garbage this year. Their offense is all-time great but they're playing no defense. OKC will beat them in 6 or 7 games.

Boston is the class of the East.

 

[Swagnificent]

lmao ok, the sad thing is you're just looking at a team with Kyrie as the leader and blindly overrating it, you are not taking into account how bad they are defensively (perimeter and paint defense) + rebounding. Not only that but the games where Kyrie will have off nights and still have to get adjusted (like vs. the Bucks). Ya see I kinda agree the Cavs will get exposed in a way but damn sure not by the Celtics lmao

LOL @ talking about the Cavs and not even knowing it.

Boston Celtics are the #1 defensive team in the NBA right now. They are #2 in point differential.

They are the class of the East.

 

[Thegospel]

I can get on this prediction @Swagnificent

 

[Swagnificent]

Nikka stop it

You scared now? Boston looks like the top team in the East and the Cavs are struggling to be .500.

Bron stans gonna have to get on their excuse game ready this off-season to explain how Kyrie can lead the Celtics to the NBA Finals while LeBron is fighting to make the Cavs eligible for the playoffs.
