Pretty much have the same predictions as you but I think houston will beat OKC in 7, and I also think it will be Cavs vs Celtics in the ECF. And then I have GS over Cavs in 7 in the finals.
TBE J yeah once it goes to 7 games really anything can happen. It seems like every year that series is just too close to call. Even half way through the finals its always hard to tell.
Another series I think will be closer than people think is the Spurs vs Grizz. I know SA swept them a year ago but memphis can be tough in the playoffs, and gave them trouble in the past. Im also not sold on the Clippers beating the Jazz either lol just bc of their playoffs history, I could see Utah winning in 7. But I'll stick with my predictions.
I agree with everything accept the finals I believe the dubs will win in seven with a addition of one of the clutches players in the league kd nice vid pretty accurate
I can certainly see where you're coming from Raymond. You think Golden State would have won the finals last year if KD was on the team? I'm not so sure. KD blew 3-1 last year as well and didn't come through in the clutch.
Hey PokemonMaster. Dwight Howard is my biggest concern with the team. Ever since he left Orlando his teams have been disasters. Also in the last 2 years the Hawks lost in 4-0 series against Cleveland when their lineups were stronger. I think the Wizards are good enough to even give Cleveland a run for their money. To me the Wizards just look like the better team.
Memphis is a real punching bag. They have some good core players, but they never seem to go anywhere. How many times do you have to get beat early in the playoffs before you rebuild or actually add enough talent to compete. They are not in a good place.
I hate to break it to you bruh, but if GS is on I don't any team pushing them past 6 games, not even Cleveland. A lot of your predictions made sense but you lost me on the Finals. For one you talk about the depth GS lost, their deeper this year than they we're last. You failed to mention their solid acquisitions of David West, Matt Barnes and JaVale McGee. You also failed to mention how GS is a much stronger defensive team than they we're last year. We all know about the Warriors explosive offense, but they lead the league in blocked shots, steals an defensive FG%, plus they rank number one in perimeter defense as well. You need to learn a little bit more about a team before you make predictions homie.
delfra70 I respect your prediction but don't believe players like JaVale McGee and Matt Barnes are going to make much of an impact on the finals. Even though at the time it seemed like Harrison Barnes and Bogut were expendable, I think they lost something when they were traded. By the lack of depth I mean that they are more reliant on certain players than they were last year and that could mean trouble in the finals.
I think it would be interesting to have Bulls vs. Wizards on the 2nd round. Im hoping the Warriors can face either of the two teams in the NBA Finals. Just a prediction
Romiele Baltazar, if that were the case I would choose the Wizards over the Bulls and then Golden State over Wizards in the finals. It would be interesting but personally I'm hoping for a finals rematch.
Kylie Downs everyone thought for sure GOLDEN state would win last year and look what happened. 2014-2015 cavs would of won but Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving were injured
All of you people are making dumb prediction like first off the spurs is not going to beat the warriors is like saying kevin love is better than Lebron james. Third the people who said cavaliers win the champion that dumb first off second golden state warriors have a super team they have dramond green, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, and step curry the cavaliers have poor defense. Golden is the best offensive team and defensive team so for 40 percent of you vote for the golden state i agree. The 60 percent of you who vote for the cavaliers are spurs to win the championship are beat the warriors y'all tripping means like acted dumb or stupid
I honestly believe Warriors will beat Cavs in 5 games. ***Curry isn't hurt this year, healthy KD was added (3rd best player in the world), Draymond won't be suspended (fingers-crossed), Klay will be facing their 3rd best perimeter defender, and if you watched them closely this year you'd know they're actually DEEPER as a team. Zaza/McGee is better than hobbled Bogut/Ezeli, West is a better Speights, Iggy/Livingston/McCaw/Clark/McAdoo all contribute. They are legit 10-12 deep on any night.
I predict Toronto Raptors will be in the NBA Finals with Golden State. Toronto's defense has been great with there no acquisitions and we know that defense wins in the playoffs.
All My Predictions Round 1: Golden State over Portland Utah over Los Angelos Houston over Oklahoma City San Antonio over Memphis Boston over Chicago(Although could be an upset, Rondo has been playing well) Washington over Atlanta Cleveland over Indiana Milwaukee over Toronto Round 2: Golden State over Utah San Antonio over Memphis Washington over Boston Cleveland over Milwaukee Round 3: Golden State over San Antonio Cleveland over Washington Round 4: Cleveland over Golden State
I did this and so far I've gotten all the matchups right so far, just not the right number of games. I also have the warriors winning, even though I don't want them to.
LeBron in the season is little indication of how he will do in the postseason. But I do have the Celtics passing the Bulls, if you read the comments even that was a controversial pick.
You'll all sleeping on the Raptors. They would've been first if Lowry wasn't injured. Regular season. Won the Boston series 3:1 Won the Washington series 2:1
I said they'll take the Cavs to 6 games and that's exactly what happened last year. Neither team changed much since then so I don't have good reason to believe the outcome would be any different.
Im a bulls fan and i hope they can make it to the second or maybe even the finals but i think if the celtics beat the bulls they have it in there hand I have to be honest i dont watch basketball but the celtics are a great team
Great prediction but I have to disagree. Warriors have too many offensive weapons and they still have one of the best defenses in the league. Warriors in 6 imo, but LeBron does explode during the playoffs so maybe they'd take it to 7 games.
Okc in 7 games against Houston ??? The Rockets have so many options in offense, good shooters long distance and the future MVP. Russell can't do everything... If the Thunder takes 2 games, it will be a good result for them. Washington in 6 or 7 against the Hawks, both are strong at home, so for me, it can't take only 5 games. Cleveland can sweep the Pacers, LeBron in playoffs, even if George make some good matches, James is so strong et focus. I don't see the Clippers sweeped by the Warriors, they will take one. Yeah the Spurs can't win against the Warriors. Aldridge is not a true "winner", it's a bit old (Tony, Manu, Pau...) and Kahwi can't do everything in such kind of games. I agree with you, we'll see if Durant can be a champion with great shots (which I don't think...). Kyrie is the guy for the money time ;)
2807Erwan I just have a lot of faith in Westbrook coming off his crazy season. He wills the team forward. But even with my confidence in him I only have the team passing the first round. Players don't win championships, teams do, but players could definitely win the first round.
I just don't think the Cavs have enough confidence to overcome their slump to get passed the Celtics. Maybe not even the Raptors. I don't like the Wizards, that's why I have the Hawks in 6
I hadn't accounted for Westbrook's increased minutes and being too tired at the end of the games. I still think Westbrook is better than anyone on the Rockets but the Rockets appear the be the better team.
How could you even sleep with the playoffs right around the corner?!! But really Jared I try to create a relaxing mood in my videos, sorry if you got too relaxed.
I agree with u for everything but 2 series.celtics will beat the Wizards.and the warriors for the win in 6.the last game they played GSW blew them out bcuz of their high powered offense.if the warriors can get out to a quick lead in the 1st quarter,for every game it will be over.warriors in 6
Taha seems like a lot of people don't know what to make of the Celtics. Some have them in the finals and others are certain the Bulls are going to take the first round. I think they are really good but it's just a little early for them, they need more experience still.
Basketball's Best they have been in the playoffs for 2 seasons they have enough experience and al horford has a lot of that.him and isiah might Sprise everybody to the conference finals
Horford is a big asset in the playoffs but for Thomas I'm not seeing it just yet. Of course they could surprise everyone, a good playoff run wouldn't even be that big of a surprise. There's just a lot of great teams this year and I'm afraid the Celtics will get lost in the shuffle.
What?..!!!?.???? R u kddin!! LBJ is going for 4-0 at second round....., and in the finals, warriors rrrr tough,but not enough to beat the KING n his Calvary (cavaliers)....!!
Thanks for the support everyone. Any (friendly) conversation is welcome. You can find me on Twitter as well (link is in the description)
did you take a sip of hot tea before posting this?
With just a little honey.
Happy to have your support Aiden.
That's some good predictions.🤔
Thanks Sean Young.
Pretty much have the same predictions as you but I think houston will beat OKC in 7, and I also think it will be Cavs vs Celtics in the ECF. And then I have GS over Cavs in 7 in the finals.

Im also not sold on the Clippers beating the Jazz either lol just bc of their playoffs history, I could see Utah winning in 7. But I'll stick with my predictions.
For sure. Sometimes the Spurs can dominate everybody and then sometimes they fall to the most unexpected team.
You never can tell with them Delroy.
yep
I agree with everything accept the finals I believe the dubs will win in seven with a addition of one of the clutches players in the league kd nice vid pretty accurate
I can certainly see where you're coming from Raymond. You think Golden State would have won the finals last year if KD was on the team? I'm not so sure. KD blew 3-1 last year as well and didn't come through in the clutch.
Basketball's Best may I ask what state or country u live in its a thing that I wonder if you wanted to know I live in Arkansas
United States. I try to remain as impartial as possible so I don't want people to think I'm favoring a certain team.
Basketball's Best I under stand but nice vid man keep it up the great work
Will do Raymond. But you have to promise to keep watching.
I love your Channel you guys are great !
Thanks! Glad to have you on board.
I think it'll be Golden State against Washington or maybe against Cleveland
Awesome video 👍👍
Thanks Desiree Langel.
You are welcome
why do you sleep on atlanta
Hey PokemonMaster. Dwight Howard is my biggest concern with the team. Ever since he left Orlando his teams have been disasters. Also in the last 2 years the Hawks lost in 4-0 series against Cleveland when their lineups were stronger. I think the Wizards are good enough to even give Cleveland a run for their money. To me the Wizards just look like the better team.
I respect your opinion. It does seem Dwight has caused some problems I think we will lose but in 6 games
We're on the same page but I'm going to hold you to that extra win prediction.
warriors beta
and how do the thunder beat the rockets
Thunder have Westbrook.
Let's jut summarize the finals in a sentence. Any team with Lebron = Guaranteed Finals appearance.
OKC can't beat ROCKETS
I felt pretty strongly about my prediction Abdullahi but it's hard to argue with that great Kobe picture.
about time Washington gets some recognition! good work man keep it up! :)
Thanks Sylvester. Will do.
how can you predict against delly?
I know MrRodzilla. It was the hardest decision I had to make.
Cavs in 2017 in the NBA final in 6 games over the warriors in 2017 .
how does Washington win against celts?
Could you do top ten up-and-coming players (mainly rookies, 2nd years, and 3rd years) that could dominate the NBA in the next ten years?
Possibly, that could be an interesting topic.
Basketball's Best, thanks for replying to my comments 😀😛😀😀👍🏀
You are so right
What's the background music?
idk y but this video made me tried. I think it's the background music
Memphis is a real punching bag. They have some good core players, but they never seem to go anywhere. How many times do you have to get beat early in the playoffs before you rebuild or actually add enough talent to compete. They are not in a good place.
Dang the conference finals were 1 team off
I agree with your NBA final pick.
I hate to break it to you bruh, but if GS is on I don't any team pushing them past 6 games, not even Cleveland. A lot of your predictions made sense but you lost me on the Finals. For one you talk about the depth GS lost, their deeper this year than they we're last. You failed to mention their solid acquisitions of David West, Matt Barnes and JaVale McGee.

Golden state warriors are to good for the cavs so they will win in 6
Many people said the same thing last year...just sayin'
Kylie Downs nope.
Kylie Downs everyone thought for sure GOLDEN state would win last year and look what happened. 2014-2015 cavs would of won but Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving were injured
Completely agree with you DarkJay.
at least say bucks in 5 bruh not a sweep. damn bruh 😥
Bucks are soft... Raps won't sweep but it will be 4-1
you saw the game!? lmaooo
Bucks in 5 now
Ask Indiana and Miami.. they both won Game 1 against the Raptors. then they Lost Bucks will Loose the next 4
Prime cool Only if Lowry decides to show up in the next games
Sike you thow is g.s
The first round predictions are almost the exact same as Nick Smith
silly man gsw is winning the finals cavs are losing gsw will win lol
if i have to bet Money its cavs vs warriors...but when im looking into my Cup of coffee, i can see an upset somewhere somehow. dunno who
Warriors are takin the big W this year
Basketball's Best would you change your prediction?
Not just yet but I'll admit it's not looking good.
All of you people are making dumb prediction like first off the spurs is not going to beat the warriors is like saying kevin love is better than Lebron james. Third the people who said cavaliers win the champion that dumb first off second golden state warriors have a super team they have dramond green, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, and step curry the cavaliers have poor defense. Golden is the best offensive team and defensive team so for 40 percent of you vote for the golden state i agree. The 60 percent of you who vote for the cavaliers are spurs to win the championship are beat the warriors y'all tripping means like acted dumb or stupid
I honestly believe Warriors will beat Cavs in 5 games.
***Curry isn't hurt this year, healthy KD was added (3rd best player in the world), Draymond won't be suspended (fingers-crossed), Klay will be facing their 3rd best perimeter defender, and if you watched them closely this year you'd know they're actually DEEPER as a team. Zaza/McGee is better than hobbled Bogut/Ezeli, West is a better Speights, Iggy/Livingston/McCaw/Clark/McAdoo all contribute. They are legit 10-12 deep on any night.
Golden State has a lot going for them, that's for sure.
think raptors and rockets gonna be serious no. 1 contenders
I would agree you if it were a different year but the NBA is just so strong right now.
How could Houston lose to OKC? Your prediction is ridiculous.
I strongly agree
Then I strongly agree with you too Lysander
pretty good predictions. The only thing you forgot is that we had KD this year :).
You wouldn't believe how much I underestimated that whole situation.
what the heck these predictions I have ever seen. firstly the bucks beat the raptors. secondly warriors have better players than the cavs.
I fear you may be overestimating the Bucks a little but I may have underestimated them a little.
Bro you have OKC over HOU
4 super stars vs 2 super stars no you are rong
I predict Toronto Raptors will be in the NBA Finals with Golden State. Toronto's defense has been great with there no acquisitions and we know that defense wins in the playoffs.
Not a bad prediction, but it would make the finals a little less interesting.
The predictions are already off. Bucks won first game
Thank you !!!!!
No no no. Thank YOU HVVlogs HVlogs.
terrible predictions but good analysis
Oklahoma in 7? Maybe if the supporting cast step up in oklahoma but it wont happen
ariel almoite I'm guessing they'll step up just a little and Westbrook will be Superman to make up for it.
All My Predictions
Round 1:
Golden State over Portland
Utah over Los Angelos
Houston over Oklahoma City
San Antonio over Memphis
Boston over Chicago(Although could be an upset, Rondo has been playing well)
Washington over Atlanta
Cleveland over Indiana
Milwaukee over Toronto
Round 2:
Golden State over Utah
San Antonio over Memphis
Washington over Boston
Cleveland over Milwaukee
Round 3:
Golden State over San Antonio
Cleveland over Washington
Round 4:
Cleveland over Golden State
We got there through different paths but ended with the same prediction.
I did this and so far I've gotten all the matchups right so far, just not the right number of games. I also have the warriors winning, even though I don't want them to.
dude...........why sleep celtics........my finals prediction is GSW vs Celtics cause Cleveland is losing lately
LeBron in the season is little indication of how he will do in the postseason. But I do have the Celtics passing the Bulls, if you read the comments even that was a controversial pick.
ok dude
Gained a sub.... I also think kd will choke under pressure
Totally agree
Thanks for the sub George. Golden State losing 3-1 made everyone forget about Thunder losing 3-1.
Can never use common sense in NBA playoff.
Houston vs. Cavs 2017 NBA Finals
I wouldn't mind seeing that Kaef Rehman.
Golden State vs Toronto finals with the Warriors winning in 5 or 6 I'm a Toronto fan but the better team will win and that's the Warriors
It's going to be hard for your team to pass Cleveland after what I watched against the Bucks.
You'll all sleeping on the Raptors.
They would've been first if Lowry wasn't injured.
Regular season.
Won the Boston series 3:1
Won the Washington series 2:1
I said they'll take the Cavs to 6 games and that's exactly what happened last year. Neither team changed much since then so I don't have good reason to believe the outcome would be any different.
Im a bulls fan and i hope they can make it to the second or maybe even the finals but i think if the celtics beat the bulls they have it in there hand I have to be honest i dont watch basketball but the celtics are a great team
No better time to starting watching than right now.
Great prediction but I have to disagree. Warriors have too many offensive weapons and they still have one of the best defenses in the league. Warriors in 6 imo, but LeBron does explode during the playoffs so maybe they'd take it to 7 games.
Once it's in game 7, Joe Traxx, anything can happen. But in a game 7 I'll never bet against LeBron. Golden States best chance is to finish it in 6.
Agreed.
am i only person who think that chicago can beat celtics?
It's a much more popular opinion after what happened yesterday.
Basketball's Best. ye but i thought that before game cuz if bulls can beat cavaliers 4 time in a row why they cant beat celtics
Your prediction is looking really good right now Nikola Nikolic.
Okc in 7 games against Houston ??? The Rockets have so many options in offense, good shooters long distance and the future MVP. Russell can't do everything... If the Thunder takes 2 games, it will be a good result for them. Washington in 6 or 7 against the Hawks, both are strong at home, so for me, it can't take only 5 games.

2807Erwan I just have a lot of faith in Westbrook coming off his crazy season. He wills the team forward. But even with my confidence in him I only have the team passing the first round. Players don't win championships, teams do, but players could definitely win the first round.
For me, Russell can do it on one or 2 straight games, but 3 with Houston in front, I don't think so... We'll see ;)
Wizards beats cavs in 6
I have Celtics over the Cavs in 7 games, and Warriors over the Spurs in 6 games. Then Warriors over the Celtics in 5 games.
Celtics in the finals Jarrett? I think it may be a little early for that. In a couple years I would probably agree with you.
I just don't think the Cavs have enough confidence to overcome their slump to get passed the Celtics. Maybe not even the Raptors. I don't like the Wizards, that's why I have the Hawks in 6
Something I've learned about LeBron over the years is that his slumps end when the playoffs start.
Now there's something to worry about.
Warriors vs celtics in 6 games
If that's the finals I'm not so sure the Celtics could last 6 games.
warriors so dirty, green kicks adams in his nuts and injured leonards ankle.
you were kind of wrong.. but most of them were right..
Bro this is 2017 everybody picking GSW to win it all
They did in 2016 as well JakeTheDude.
Subscribed
Nice bracket, but there will be an upset cavs will not make it
Donte Franklin even though the east is the weaker conference it won't be an easy road to the finals. The Cavs have to really want it.
The Atlanta Hawks don't loose in 5 games
no they lose in 4
Basketball best we all know warriors will beat the spurs in 5 Kd and steph will step up, Kd will suit in warriors chemistry
Very possible but don't underestimate the Spurs DarkNinja. They have great players and their chemistry makes them even better than they look on paper.
what is wrong with you?
Championship Spurs vs Celtics I just love TEXAS
My prediction the GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS will win this season.
OKC ALL THE WAY
Bulls not losing to Celtics rondo will lock up isaiah bulls taking it in game 5
I don't know about that Jason Sanchez. Rondo isn't exactly the player he used to be.
Wrong
hi
everybody sleep on the clippers
I respect the Clippers but passing Golden State is asking too much from them.
I knew OKC isn't good enough
I hadn't accounted for Westbrook's increased minutes and being too tired at the end of the games. I still think Westbrook is better than anyone on the Rockets but the Rockets appear the be the better team.
But i believe that the spurs. Will beat the warriors
That's very possible. That would also make for a great finals series.
Basketball's Best if spurs won kawhi is gonna win finals mvp again
100% agree.
what a lerbon fans
Gsw only challenge this year is Spurs tbh
He chose cavs in 7 lol
Warriors because Kawi is hurt
good video but the music is putting me to sleep bro.
How could you even sleep with the playoffs right around the corner?!! But really Jared I try to create a relaxing mood in my videos, sorry if you got too relaxed.
Bulls win in 7
Bulls aren't bad but take a look at my previous video. It just seems so unlikely. th-cam.com/video/3U_4u_NAUNI/w-d-xo.html
warriors are going to win another title
*kawhi
cavs for sure
Actually bulls will beat Boston in 6 games
I don't know about that Martez. I will say it will be one of the more interesting first round series.
Your prediction's looking pretty good right now Martez.
Yea and I lied about 6 games It will be 4 games and at the most 5
bucks all the way
I agree with u for everything but 2 series.celtics will beat the Wizards.and the warriors for the win in 6.the last game they played GSW blew them out bcuz of their high powered offense.if the warriors can get out to a quick lead in the 1st quarter,for every game it will be over.warriors in 6
Taha seems like a lot of people don't know what to make of the Celtics. Some have them in the finals and others are certain the Bulls are going to take the first round. I think they are really good but it's just a little early for them, they need more experience still.
Basketball's Best of the Celtics can play good team basketball like they were before April.and what about the warriors
Basketball's Best they have been in the playoffs for 2 seasons they have enough experience and al horford has a lot of that.him and isiah might Sprise everybody to the conference finals
Horford is a big asset in the playoffs but for Thomas I'm not seeing it just yet. Of course they could surprise everyone, a good playoff run wouldn't even be that big of a surprise. There's just a lot of great teams this year and I'm afraid the Celtics will get lost in the shuffle.
no gsw Will win
warriors boy.
Good guesses but I think bucks wi in six
golden State buddy
Wariorrs win championship
What?..!!!?.???? R u kddin!! LBJ is going for 4-0 at second round....., and in the finals, warriors rrrr tough,but not enough to beat the KING n his Calvary (cavaliers)....!!
Wizards will come out of the east and golden state will take it all
Ya cavs only got James and kyrie. But gsw have kd curry klay and draymond. Warriors all the way
golden state would win
I think Washington will win
