The Cavs, Warriors, & Spurs are the only title contenders

[1987_Lakers]

Agree?

[J Shuttlesworth]

Agreed

[Milbuck]

I'm a serious minority on this but I still think the Bulls could be a major factor in the playoffs. Mirotic playing like a borderline all-star adds a totally new dynamic to that team. Not gonna get into the Rose stuff because people are gonna - understandably - laugh it off...but yeah..him too.

Based on what?


Are you basing your opinion on previous Bulls teams which differ greatly to this year's team?


Because I bet there is a majority here who still think the Bulls are the same scoring disfunction they have been for 3 or 4 years under the Thibs era. Anyone who has been watching the Bulls team in the last week or so will notice how well the ball is moving and how precise our high post passing and off ball cuts have been.

The defensive talent is already there, we know the team will have that come playoffs. It was a matter of making the offense rock solid, which it looks to be better, even just from the inconsistencies we saw before the allstar break.


Putting Rose aside for a minute, we have been witnessing quite a big growth from our overseas rookie Mitotic who looks to be getting very comfortable and very hard to stop.


Which means, we now have 4 reliable scoring threats which we haven't had in the past. Couple that with Snell's improved play on both sides of the ball, which could prove to be crucial when we need to shift Butler to the bench or another matchup.

There are shooters on this team. Guys who can knock down the open shot, when packing the paint has been used against us.

A lot of our success will hinge on Rose, however there is nothing to say that we can't make a deep run without Rose to a certain degree. Mirotic alone is a significant weapon we haven't had before.


Anyways, a lot of people have their set beliefs on the Bulls(ala Rose 6% and the out of context "dominance" of Lebron), but I can see a different picture. Not saying it will happen, but I think the potential for this group is a lot higher than previous teams.

Maybe you're just an ignorant dumbass who regurgitates the same opinions.


That's fine you don't read it, but don't expect me to take you seriously if you assume the Bulls are the same as every year, because you are clueless and don't watch them closely like I do.

[Eric Cartman]

Please address what I wrote.

There's no denying that the Bulls have a good team, but the Cavs are too top heavy with Lebron, Kyrie and Love if he shows up. Also, given that the Bulls defense isn't what it used to be, like in 2011, the offensive improvements balances the overall rating (:lol ) of the team. It's not like they're the Hawks on offense either, they can go on massive scoring slumps, for whatever reason, not to mention their best player is injured.

If that is your reasoning, then I would expect last year's Heat to of beaten the Spurs.


Basketball can't be looked at that simplistically. So many factors come into why a team wins or loses to put it down to one thing. MOST situations you will find that the team with the best top heavy talent wins championships, that is true.


But not always...


Now you point out our decline on defense. The defensive talent and coach hasn't changed or left. In fact, Boozer/Gasol swap actually improved our defensive talent. It's still there and teams do ramp it up come playoffs. Often when there is an adjustment to the personnel(which we have had quite a change), there are defensive issues to sort out.


You point out slumps, yet the heavy scoring swings benefit our offense too and we have clearly improved in that area. We are finding ways to score, no matter how it happens.

With our slumps, there must be massive momentum swings in games which can be beneficial in playoffs that are predicated on swings. Can't just write us off because of scoring slumps without crediting the fact that we can go on big scoring runs too.


You're right, we aren't the Hawks and we don't move the ball as well as them. Stats and regular season are only a guide, what happens in the playoffs will likely fall on the talent you have and what experience they have playing together.

[Velocirap31]

Spurs aren't getting past the Rockets/Grizzlies in the first round, so they are not contenders. Cavaliers are going to walk through the East until playing Atlanta, which will be close. Warriors are a given to win the west I think.

[ArbitraryWater]

Bulls have one of the best starting five's AND benches in the NBA.

Clippers are contenders aswell IMO.

I could see Clips beating those teams.

why didn't you say Golden State? They are built to take down a spurs team.


as for walking through the East, I doubt it. hawks and bulls will pose a real threat.

Cavs aren't a well oiled machine and 2 of their key players are playoff virgins.

In the regular season, you can get by on talent and look dominant. It's different when the pressure is on and players are going 100% on defense.

I'm not sure about the Bulls, they look great on paper, but their season hasn't been that great. Maybe it's injuries, but all teams have dealt with those.

Lebron turns it up a notch in the playoffs if needed and teams don't have any answers for him.

Clippers has a chance if Blake goes to another level and is the best player on the floor every single night...

Rockets need Harden to really be the clear cut MVP in the playoffs and they can get there...

Hawks are a better team than the Cavs, this cruise control they are on will make people sleep on them...they will be a different team come playoffs...

I kind of agree. The Bulls are a big question mark, but there's so much potential hidden behind it. Hopefully we'll surprise some people.

[MMM]

i see why people give Cleveland their due but i feel like too much benefit of the doubt is being given. The Cavs have a lot of talent but i want to see them react to adversity in the playoffs before anything. they still have chemistry issues but injuries might be a factor for some of their players as well. Not that they are more banged up then anyone but again i want to see how they handle those issues over the next month.

No agenda but LeBon doesn't have a great record vs. adversity relatively speaking and the rest of the Cavs have no record.

In the west i feel there are more contenders depending on the match ups and which teams survive the first round. If one of SAS or GSW get knocked out before the WCF then it opens it up for the 2nd teir contenders in the West; Mem, Lac, Hou

[Sarcastic]

Didn't Bill Russell?

Anyway, if GSW or SA comes out of the west (most likely GSW), the east will lose.

And over the past season they are only 6th seed in the west. There is absolutely zero chance they beat the Warriors and I highly doubt they get pas Houston if that happens to be who they play. Memphis would wipe the floor with them if they drop.

[NZStreetBaller]

Lol spurs are definately the favourites. Think about it. This team was in the past two finals they fought a prime heat to the bitter end and then the following finals they mopped the floor with the heat (yoy can make the excuses about the big 3 aging all you like, spurs big 3 are older)

The cavs minus lebron are very foreign to the playoffs let alone the finals. Same with the warriors although i think the warriors fight pretty hard in the playoffs. The spurs can easily take out anybody....

The only way you can beat the spurs is your team has to be on fire the majority of the series.

[Spurs m8]

And over the past season they are only 6th seed in the west.

They were injured half the season and only started using a proper and consistent line up recently.
And looks whats happened since then.

Since actually finally being healthy the Spurs are killin it

Ahh yes, the injury excuse. Rockets have had their starting C and PF out the majority of the season. Blazers were without a C for nearly 2 months, plus Aldridge's thumb and Wes Mathews going down a few weeks ago. Clippers had Blake miss a bunch of time and Crawford as well.

Most teams have to deal with injury or some adversity, acting as if the Spurs stand alone in that regard is incredibly ignorant.

The Cavs should wipe there asses with the pathetic east.. And as previous years have shown most of these west teams look like pretenders when the game slows down..

GS has no post presence to take advantage of Cleveland or Love's defense. Curry actually has to play defense for a 7 game series. They have absolutely no one that can guard LeBron at all. Of the west teams, they are the least equipped. They have skinny ass Barnes and Iggy, who LeBron has sodomized since he has been in the league. And depth is overrated in the playoffs. The rotations shorten to around 8 players.

You have absolutely no credibility on making predictions though...you were adamant that the Heat would roll the Spurs when me, along with others here, were telling you SA was playing great team ball.

The last few years, Bulls fans weren't predicting deep playoffs runs, especially with the injuries they faced heading into the postseason. All the hype came mostly from the talkingheads, and mostly in preseason predictions based on the talent the Bulls had. All that went to shit when injuries sidelined our chances, of course it's possible (maybe even likely) that the injury bug again ruins our chances but the Bulls this season, as opposed to previous seasons are getting healthy going into the POs.

All I want to say is that this team has the talent to beat any team in the East (health permitting), if you can't see that, you're just letting your deep hatred for the Bulls cloud your judgement.

Unfortunately for you, it doesn't matter whether you care or not when the Bulls won their titles or what you think of the era. No one goes around trying to argue that 11 of the 17 titles the Celtics won don't count because there were only a handful of teams back then.

The Bulls are third most successful team in NBA history, more successful than the Heat and eons more than the team you now root for. They are also one of the most popular worldwide, probably only second to the Lakers.

I don't GAF if we are 0-3 vs LeBron, what happened back then has no bearing what will happen in the future. The way you look at things is a very simpleminded way at looking at things (might explain why you are so horrifyingly wrong in most of your predictions). "It didn't happen last few times therefore it'll never ever happen!" :lol By that logic, the Cavs have not shot at ever winning a title. It's not like they never had champioship caliber squads before Bran (late 80s/early 90's). TBH, this Cavs team just doesn't seem legit, aside from LeBron and a couple of ancient vets, they have no postseason experience and neither does Blatt. Their FC and their defense (lack of) will get exposed.

Lol Spurs are not contenders. Can't wait until they get bounced in the first round. Never seen a team get such a free pass in the regular season.
Hahahah can't believe people actually thought the Spurs would win the title this season... I copped flak for this comment but turns out I was right.

Fuq outta here, liar. I thought we had a great chance in 2011, lost in the ECFs, the other years we had major injuries and I made no such claims.

lol they lost game 7 on a last second shot against perhaps the best team in the NBA and you act like this was some easy series.. Guys won 21 of the last 25 games, and thats including 2 fluke losses @ New York and New Orleans.
