   it doesnt matter who you love or what team is it,let just hope all teams gonna win in this finals.

You could like the Wizards for all I care, but we're here to discuss basketball and not point out If you're a fake or not.

104-103 for the nets and they finish the raptors off.

Brooklyn are atm in the best place that they can be, and I doubt they will win over miami, but the position that they are in atm is really good, and going back to when the season only started and Kidd was named as the new coach, I doubt someone expected to see them go so far this season. As in Garnett said after the final game, that Miami are in good shape and full of confidence and even if they wont beat miami, they are still happy.

Great game against the raptors thought, it and was one of the best games i've ever seen actually.


EDIT 16.05
---------------------------------

Season coming to an end, we got OKC vs SPURS and HEAT vs PACERS

Great games, 4 strongest teams. I really want to see Indiana in the finals, but I have a feeling that Spurs might meet Miami in the finals again.

The Heat are gonna get sweeped. I can feel it.

Heat - Spurs or Heat - OKC rematch? And I don't even see Indiana taking Heat to Game 7.

Good Job Maccabi Tel-Aviv going to the euroleague finals after a hard 68-67 against CSKA Moscow a crazy comeback winning in the last second

I AM SHOCKED TO SAY MACCABI TEL AVIV IS THE 2014 EUROLEAGUE CHAMPIONS I CANT BELIEVE IT BY 10 THIS IS CRAZY A TEAM WITH NO BUDGET AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Makes me feel proud for how basketball goes in israel. Know your champs Europe haa

Yala maccabi!!!

Look at the great flop lol

The NBA Draft Lottery is so rigged lol, how can Cleveland get the top pick AGAIN? Nobody wants to play there just admit it and move on NBA lol.

YALA MACCABI!

Miami knocked Indiana out and made it to the finals -.-

3peat? Or will Spurs manage to beat OKC and win this year?

Remember how that turned out for me last year?
Yeah... I'm starting to think LeBron's unbeatable.

Spurs deserve it. Lebron's a flopper

My fav player ever. And no doubt one of the best PF/C's today, maybe even the best today. The only player who might reach his level of play is Dwight Howard, but the "Orlando Magic Howard"... not the "Lakers/Houston Howard"

How is Howard different in Lakers and Houston from what he was in Orlando? Still same howard, it's just that in Houston and LA there are other players who are putting in work, not like the situation in orlando where there were barely players on howard's level. One of the reasons Howard left Lakers is Kobe, who just couldn't play with howard, since both wanted the ball, but kobe wouldn't pass that much, leaving howard on the background, which led to their argument. And atm at the rockets, he got Harden, Lin and all the other good fellas that make a great team with howard and he looks pretty great atm, even better than Orlando times if you ask me. Same as Griffin got chemistry going on with Jordan and Paul.

As for me, Brook Lopez, one of my favorite current centers, his game in the paint is smart, and body control is great, sad that he was injured most of this season.

Back to the finals doe
-----------------------------------------
Spurs dominated game 1, Lebron seemed like he was in pain, wonder how's he gonna do in game 2

I hand it to them. Spurs are playing the best team basketball I've ever seen in my entire existence.
Kawhi for Finals MVP.

@Kompot

Well that's not entirely true. Since Howard joined the Lakers he just slowed down a bit. He took the role of a star player to easily and it just wasn't the same Dwight as I used to watch in Orlando.

I mean he couldn't get to nail a damn free throw lol. Made some embarrassing moves like that 4-step layup lol, but that's not important now.

When he joined the Rockets he started putting in some work, but it's just the usual center work.
I mean it's the NBA... Where amazing happens.. He was one of those who just do their job... I mean , while he was playing for the Magic he used to be on the highlight reel every damn night.

Oh snap miami! Spurs are on top this year. Glad spurs won and rly happy for kawhi. Young fella did amazing things the last 3 games.
