the Eastern Conference sucks and is a free pass for the Lebron team to make the finals every year. That's why he won't leave that conference and go to where he would have hard series before the finals.



I am Iron Man

Pretty much the same thing happened for Jordan when he won his 6 NBA titles with the Bulls during the 1990s.. Jordan's Bulls cruised through a very weak Eastern Conference and the NBA Finals was a cake walk against a tired Western Conference team. No team ever pushed Jordan to a 7th deciding game in the NBA Finals. Jordan like James are the only real true superstar of their era. The opposition teams have good players but they are not on the same planet as the big star of the league. Curry, Durant, Thomas, Harden, Leonard, Westbrook, etc are not in the same class as Lebron James.



It's the same story every year when it comes to the Cavs (or ANY team LeBron is on ATM), they'll struggle at the end of the season and have their championship chances in question, just to steamroll through the Eastern Conference like they always do and face whoever is representing the West.
Honestly, this year's playoffs are kind of boring because in the end, it's going to be the Cavs and Warriors again.
Now granted, if there's one team that I think has a chance of spoiling that rematch, it's the San Antonio Spurs: Because they're the Spurs. But still, beating a team that has Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and a stellar supporting cast behind them is a lot easier said than done.



The Cavs are the only contender in the East everyone is a pretender.



I'd love to see Toronto win but lets be real. Cavs are going to kill them.

NBA is basically a 3-4 team league, no one else matters.



Cavs 4- Raptors 1. I would not be surprised if the Cavs clean sweep the Raptors.



NBA = Warriors, Cavs, and Spurs. Everyone else is just there for a participation medal.



If the Jazz beat the Clippers, I fancy their chances of upsetting the Warriors. Big tall defenders are going to be a handful for the small Warriors team.

Durant is like a 7-footer, Draymond is a big dude, even Clay is not that small. The only small guy on Golden State really is Steph Curry, and he can shoot from 85 feet away from the basket so your shot blocking on him is basically void. Warriors smash the Jazz or Clips. They're even getting surprising production from 7-footer Javale McGee this playoffs, he's become a solid rotation player for them. 



I can see it going to a game 6, it all depends of Kyle and Derozan who are very inconsistent.
