Well, depending on how healthy Curry is, the Rockets may have a very good chance of dethroning the Warriors and making it to the Finals. Assuming of course they can get past the Jazz and to get to the Warriors, because even though James Harden and Chris Paul work well together, they both have a bad track record when they get deeper into the playoffs.

How many 40 point games will James have in these playoffs? Taking bets now.

I'd say 1 more 40pt during the eastern conference. And 0 if he is up against the warriors. He might have 2 40pt games against the rockets though. Boston would make it very interesting against cleveland if they have Hayward. With kyrie Boston would certainly win the east

LeBron owns the Raptors. I can't believe there where people that actually picked the Raptors to win that series.

Nice win by the Pelicans. Also as long as the Rockets can keep Engels in check they should be able to finish Utah off in five games. OKC actually did the Rockets a huge favor by injuring Rubio during their series. By barely making it into the playoffs they also had a favorable match up with the Timberwolves during the first round the Nuggets would have been a much tougher match up.

I am looking into my crystal ball in my dark room. NBA Summer trade prediction: Lebron James and Paul George will join the Lakers and form a super team with the great young star players Kuzma and Lonzo Ball. Lonzo Ball is a potential G.O.A.T if Lavar Ball's prediction come true.

Paul george suck and so is lonzo ball. Lebron will be with rockets or 76ers

Good question. I'm going to assume that they beat the Raptor in maybe 5. It could be a sweep, but the Cavs aren't consistent, so a gentleman sweep seems more likely. Then in the ECF....I'm honestly not certain the Cavs would make it past either the Celtics or the Sixers. The Cavs may have the Raptor's number, but outside of that, they're really not a very good team. It's Lebron or bust all the time. One has to imagine at some point, even in the east, that's not going to be enough anymore. As of right now, I'd be inclined to say the Cavs lose the ECF in 6 to either team. So in that scenario, with 9 more games ahead of him, I'd give him 3 more 40+ pointers. One against the Raptors, to finish them off/rub it in on their home floor, and then 2 more to carry them to some wins in the ECF.

If we give the Cavs the benefit of the doubt, and assume they make it to the finals vs the Warriors (or Rockets, though I don't trust them at all), they'd likely play another 4-6 games. The game 7 it would likely take for them to get out of the east, and 4-5 games in the finals. Again, assuming the top end there, he'd play a total of 15 more games, in which case I'd give him probably another 5-6 40 pointers.

Yeah, nope there is no way he is going to the Lakers.  If he leaves the Cavs he staying in the east because he is the beast of the east and its a lot easier to make it to the finals in the east if you have LeBron on your team.  Of course if he wants another easy title he could join the Rockets or the Warriors that is pretty much the only two teams in the west where he would go to.

Well the Raptors made a game out of it in the 4th but couldn't close it out. Lebron came in just shy of 40 but oh well. And Love is actually playing well.
