That bottom right looks so “drake”

Alright we are pretty much at the end of the season. Awards - who you got
MVP
Best Defensive Player
Best Offensive Player
Coach of the Year
Rookie of the year
Most Improved

MVP - Durant
Def Player - Noah (I understand Hibbert, but he has more defensive help)
Off Player - Durant
Coach - torn between Hornacek and Pop
Rookie - I’m leaning towards Burke, I like what MCW tried to do in Philly, but it’s hard to get credit for a stat line on a team that lost 26 straight
MIP - I’m leaning towards Blake Griffin actually. Won’t happen, but he IMO took a HUGE step this year, between no longer being a liability at the free throw line, turning into a more balanced player, improving his defense, and growing a pair so obnoxious that other PFs get mad at him now…he’s my take.

Shot out to JR Smith for most entertaining player to follow. 22 3-pointers? In the same season as a 17 3-pointer effort? Tied two people’s shoes and tried ot do a third? VC head band? Dude’s been a joke the whole season.

Every year Spurs do well, I want to give Pop the award. Each year it gets harder and harder, but each year he succeeds with the same core.

4404

Wow…

Now we gotta deal with this shit probably for the rest of his career. Smh.

4405

I know it’s the homer in me but I’d put Patty Mills down for most improved.
Pop, i mean at this point it’s like an all star selection for Tim duncan. give it to someone else imo, we know pop’s the best in the business right now

4406

cmon man, you linked a 4chan.org picture.

4407

Nets have Miami’s number… no doubt about it now. How tf was the Heat down 16-3. And this is a team without Brook.

4408

well the heat are without Hamilton

4409

Thornton is insanely scary. He does this same shit in 2K.

4410

and the heat lose.

4411

I agree with most of those. Though I think I’d take Hornacek for coach of the year. Nobody saw PHX coming, so props to him for that
As far as rookie of the year…I really have no clue. MCW has had some great games, but the 76ers have been historically bad. I haven’t kept up with burke or victor olidipo
I think this has been the worse rookie class since 2000.

4412

wolves wreckin our shit old fashioned style.
can’t even fucking lock up 1st seed yet at 60 wins. this shit is getting ridiculous

Raptors in Eastern Finals? My body is ready

Real story is the lack of faith in THunders.

4414

It is lack of faith in Chuckbrook not doing dumb shit then anything else.

4415

Well lets see…
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/nba/news/20140325/nba-playoff-schedule-projections-2014/
the nice thing about the NBA is the best team usually wins unlock in the NCAA tourny - so I’d wager…

EAST

  1. Heat vs Hawk - Heat

  2. Pacers vs Bobcats - Pacers

  3. Toronto vs Wsh - Toronto

  4. Bulls vs Nets - Heat since one of them will be gone; Bulls

  5. Heat vs Bulls - Heat

  6. Pacers vs Toronto - Toronto

  7. Heat vs Toronto - Heat

WEST

  1. Spurs vs Suns - Spurs

  2. Thunder vs Mavs - thunder

  3. Clips vs Warriors - Clips *Best first round series to watch EASY)

  4. Rockets vs Blazers - Rockets

  5. Spurs vs Rockets - Spurs

  6. Thunder vs Clips - Thunder

  7. Thunder vs Spurs - Thunder

With Heat vs Thunder m/u. I’m leaning towards Thunder…no one can stop Durant, no one will be able to stop WB, and I don’t expect Wade to be even 80%.

The scary thing to me though, its VERY possible for Toronto to make it to the ECF. While I predict IND will get it’s shit together when the playoffs start, it’s very possible that TOR could clear them out in 4 and I wouldn’t be shocked. And depending on injuries, and momentum, and Knicks - I could actually see Toronto beating a worn down MIA squad with a limping Wade.

No matter what though the West looks to me to be Thunder or spurs, and they will be the champs. Clips, prove me wrong, MIA prove me wrong.

Warriors in Western Finals? My body is ready for that! Mark Jackson extension yeeeeee! har har har!

4417

I really feel like the west is pretty open.
Obviously I think my team is making it out, but if they don’t be Thunder, Clippers, or even the Rockets.
I don’t see GSW going far but I could easily see them pulling an upset (against my team no less)

probably a rematch of 2012 WCF between San Antonio and OKC, and if OKC snatches that 1 seed this week, thunder take that series imo

4418


just when you think the Pacer saga couldnt get any better. They sit all 5 starters tonight. What about the fans that paid to see them, for whatever reason I dont know.

4419

Somehow, I want the Knicks to get in the playoffs just to troll Miami

4420

And the Pacers will probably still win, because the Bucks are that bad
