Things we kinda knew became clearer tonight

1-Cavs will win the East. There isn't much debate now, Toronto and Washington are floundering and Atlanta will be exposed. Cavs easily the toughest out on that side of the bracket.

2-K. Leonard is a top tier player.

3-Kyrie seems to play his best when the court is stacked with talent (WC, ASG), this bodes well for the playoffs.

4-Kevin Love's impact shrinks dramatically when the stakes are high or the level of play is elevated.

5-SA is still a real threat in the West.

He chocked on the cavs game

How can the Hawks be exposed when everyone thinks they will fail?

Also, why so salty about K Love? He wasnt taking the wolves anywhere and you got Wiggins.

Agreed, Hawks have already been exposed.

Their record holds more weight than the opinion of ISH posters.

There are people in the media who have them favored, and Vegas has them at number 3 in Championship odds.

Not salty about Love, he is a decent (not great) player in the 3 role, which is a death sentence in a LeBron with fellow ball dominant player team.

I am still sticking to it: I don't think there is a team in the west that can beat the Spurs 4 times in a Playoff series.

1-That's just stupid, Hawks are clear favorites as of now, Chicago can be dangerous if everybody's healthy, maybe even Rose comes back for PO. Wizards will put it together, don't you worry bout that, their training regime suggested early on that there will be a sinking in the middle of the season/after AS break. They'll get so momentum soon if their coaches know what they're doing.
2-Everybody knew that, FMVP for a reason
3-ASG is a terrible example. Toilet is too.
4-We don't really know that yet, he hasn't been in the playoffs
5-Everybody knew that, they're the defending champs with practically the same roster

Atlanta will roll everyone.

It's clearly Atlanta-Golden State Finals.

lol, how? By beating every elite team and then dropping games to shitty teams when they rested all their starters?
