    If Rose stays healthy the entire season I'd place the Bulls as winning vs. whoever in the west in 6.

    nah the western conference winner will expose rose if lebron and the cavs dont do it first. rose shrinks in the playoffs when he plays veteran nba teams that have deep playoff experience. The heat exposed that the year before he got hurt and it will show again. any team can run the table in the regular season but winning an nba title takes a more quality start than d rose.

    By the way Portland is a fluke, people need to realize that them dudes rely heavy on the 3 ball and its a reason why Lillard got kicked off the USA team, his defensive play is not good and he needs the ball to be effective. Also if them dudes have one or two injuries to their starting line-up they are done. People dont realize that last year they didnt have any major injuires, thats alot to bank on with a weak bench.


    Also i forsee tension between Harden and Dwight coming, and there is NOOOOO way the Clippers will ever win the WCF, no way unless that make significant changes to their team. They are like the Utah Jazz in the 90's...really good but just not enough to make it past the ? . And CP3 needs to reach new levels in the playoff time, stop gving him a pass bruh.

    ? reaching, I think he just meant they don't have what it takes to win in the NBA Finals...Ewing's Knicks, Drexler's Blazers, & Shaq's Magic are all great teams but didn't have what it took to win it all.
