No excuse, I was just lazy and didn’t write round 3 in time.
East:
4.
Cavs over 2. Celtics in 6 games
-Respect
is even getting me to 6 games. This was my thought before the Celts blew out
the Cavs in game 1, and maybe that will be the overall result. It certainly
seems in play. However, I think there is too much chance Lebron has now
processed the basketball calculus from the first game and will have a few
monster performances. I hope I’m wrong.
West:
2.
Dubs over 1. Rockets in 5 games
-I actually don’t think this will be close. Rockets have a
nice team and have had a great year. But this is still the Warriors we are
talking about. They have more than enough defenders for both Paul and Harden to
be reasonably limited, and that will be enough. This for me will be more about
seeing how healthy Curry is, but ultimately won’t matter. Durant is going to
feast here, and a 1-1 or 2-0 lead for GS in Houston may be enough right off the
bat.
The path is now extremely clear: The WCF is the Finals. Dubs
have like a 55% chance to win the title, the Rockets 30%, Cavs 10%, Celtic 5%.
The next three years though? We are now at a point where I will be surprised if
the Celtics don’t win a title in that window. What they have done without
Hayward and Kyrie is amazing.
