Atlanta is the only team that could possibly beat the Cavs

[konex]

Why? Multiple scoring bigs and a legit 3pt shooters. You need both of those to beat LeBron, Kyrie and the refs.

[imnew09]

Da fu nigguh.... You for real now :facepalm

[Spurs5Rings2014]

Well, shit. That settles it. Cavs will sweep Atlanta in route to being swept in the finals.

:oldlol:

[Dr Hawk]

[Spurs5Rings2014]

Not sure who this jinxes.

So?

Having a momentum going into the playoffs helps alot. Cavs been the hottest team in the league behind Golden State, i dont see the Hawks "playing better" against them.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Konex I love you bro!

[SexSymbol]

Chicago can fight against Cavs too. Wizards maybe able to put up some fight.
Cavs aren't really that good this year

[Uncle Drew]

Hmm, either we'll sweep the Hawks in the ECF, or another team will knock us out before. Who does this jinx?

They clinched the #1 seed and didn't have to go 100% to finish the year off, pretty sure they wanted to go into the POs all healthy.

They legit have a roster to beat the Cavs and with a coach that shares the same views of the game as Pop does.

Bulls only have 1 legit scoring big. I also don't see the Cavs losing with HCA

Didnt say i dont think theyll put up a good fight, i just dont think theyll beat them.

[RedBlackAttack]

So... Bulls-Wizards ECF then?

Thanks Konex. :facepalm

[Bernkastel]

Obviously. But they won't be getting that chance anyway.

[keep-itreal]

How much help does Lebron need?

[RedBlackAttack]

Hmm, either we'll sweep the Hawks in the ECF, or another team will knock us out before. Who does this jinx?
Both teams, obviously. Multiple kill-shots in this thread. :facepalm

[SwayDizzle]

we shall revisit this curse...

[RepMe]

Well, shit. That settles it. Cavs will sweep Atlanta in route to being swept in the finals.

:oldlol:

Thanks for saving me from trying to figure out how this will go down.

Well, it was a nice season, Cleveland.

[nba_55]

What happened to OKC making the playoffs?

[r0drig0lac]

:facepalm why?

[04mzwach]

I don't believe in The Konex curse. It's all coincidence that things goes bad when he predicts something will happen. Nobody can fool me. :lol

[sportjames23]

What happened to OKC making the playoffs?

:confusedshrug:

I don't recall saying they would.

He's probably not cursed, just a fool who makes over reactionary predictions threads over and over that almost always go wrong.
You would think he would learn by now that he has no idea what he's talking about.

[nba_55]

:confusedshrug:

Konex said he doesn't see OKC making the playoffs and he was right. What happened to the curse?

[sportjames23]

Ah, I dunno. His curse has been kinda off lately. I think there's a counter-curse going around.

[nba_55]

At one point, he was a fool making wrong predictions all the time, then, he started to make those ''wrong'' predictions on purpose to feed the ''konex curse jerk circle''

[WallIn]

konex is overrated

Maybe. Pretty hard to be wrong so often.

[nba_55]

Maybe. Pretty hard to be wrong so often.

He obviously made that OKC not making the playoffs prediction thinking Durant would return and get them to make the playoffs, but it backfired :lol

That's not how the playoffs work in the NBA. Does finishing strong help? Sure. But that's the main factor at all. The playoffs are largely determined on how well you can adjust to mis-matches on the court and how well you can play a half-court offense and see what the defense is going to give you. Hence why the Cavs got bounced not even making the Finals in their two 60+ win seasons before LeBron chose to go to Miami.

Difference is this Cavs team is more talented than those overachieving teams.

[Spurs5Rings2014]

Those teams were defensive juggernauts that were perfectly constructed around their star player.

:no:

[PWB15]

I give them a slim chance since they have home court advantage but I just don't think they have the team.
