How would these teams all do with Miami's road to the Finals?

[russwest0]

Currently lets go with their road to the Finals will be the Bobcats, Nets, and then the Hawks.

If any of these Western Conference teams had that same road, would they make the Finals?

Spurs
Thunder
Clippers
Rockets
Blazers
Warriors
Grizzlies
Mavericks
Suns

yes the east is weak but miami > any of those teams

Only the Spurs and even then it's iffy. The East just play much better and tougher defense and just better basketball overall.

So the Thunder, Clippers, Rockets, and Grizzlies would lose to which of the Bobcats, Nets, and Hawks?

LOL you got the Hawks beating the Wiz/Bulls? I guess it's possible

[moe94]

Nets aren't beating the Raps! Doesn't change your point, but get it straight.

Durant stans and their endless hypotheticals.
What does it even matter dude? The truth is the world will never know how any of those teams would do in a conference that actually plays defense. I mean the Warriors are known as one of the West's best defensive teams and they gave up 140 points last night! Stop worrying about the Heat and their road and start worrying about your own team. It's Championship or bust for the league MVP, no excuses.

Substitute the Hawks for the Wizards (who currently have the lead vs the Bulls) and either way I don't think it makes a difference.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Wouldn't matter. The team that wins the East would just end up losing to Miami.
soft western conference teams aren't scary

Yes, the West just play up and down, soft basketball, the East team records are 'bad' only because of the tough competition out East. Bobcats are a 50+ win team easily against the shitty defense out West. Thunder are probably in the lottery, getting stomped by powerhouses like Milwaukee and Detroit.

Took me a minute to realize you were trolling

All Durant stans have left is hypotheticals. It's really pathetic

They have excuses for everything.

[SilkkTheShocker]

They have excuses for everything.

They are already trying to cover their asses for another playoff loss. How many KD stans do you see here saying they will win it all? Almost all of them have excuses in place ready to blame Brooks, Perkins, etc. BUFAGGIII is the only one, and he jumped off the bandwagon after they lost game 2.

QFT. Durant stans trying to blame Perkins for losing a playoff series would be like Lebron fans blaming Haslem for potential playoff exit!
