We most likely will not have another Cavs-Warriors Finals this year, mainly because of LeBron.

More like "definitely" or "most certainly" than "most likely"

It's more than halfway through the season and the Cavs still haven't made it to double digit wins.

The Celtics have just been getting new players since they haven't won a championship since 2008 (the only one within my life), which kinda makes them due for a championship soon (and they are the only Boston sports team to not win a championship within the last 10 years (Sox: 2018, Pats: 2017, Bruins: 2011)).

And look at Milwaukee, whose Bucks haven't won the Finals since their only championship win in 1971, and the Brewers, who haven't won the World Series since ever. I'm hoping the Bucks can make the Finals (and hopefully win!) this year.
You have the Packers though.

I'm talking about the city, not the whole state of Wisconsin. Green Bay has overall been much more successful sports city than Milwaukee.
The Packers are Milwalkees team though.

And you could also say that Green Bay also follows Milwaukee's teams. But again, I'm talking about the cities themselves, not the whole state.

Okay but the Packers are bigger in Milwaukee than the other two teams.

I wouldn't doubt the Brewers and the Bucks still being big in Milwaukee, especially with their recent success they've had over the past few years. I'm still hoping either of them win a championship soon.

I'm not going to argue this further. Why should I continue to argue with a guy from Massachusetts over sports teams from my home state? You've never even lived in Wisconsin so you wouldn't know.

And remember that the Brewers were one game away from making it to last year's World Series, too.

Nothing would be more awesome than both the Bucks and the Brewers winning titles this year. Milwaukee is overdue for a championship. Of course I'd be happy with either team winning. Sure, the Packers have won a Super Bowl fairly recently, but they aren't technically Milwaukee's team, regardless of the tremendous support they recieve in the area.

It's funny seeing the Packers be the worst Wisconsin team.

What's with the obsession with Wisconsin teams anyway?

As an Indiana Pacers fan I would like to congratulate the Milwaukee Bucks on winning the Central Division this year. As my team is likely taking the rest of the season off I would be more than happy to see Milwaukee win a championship over any teams from markets that are suffering through historic months-long droughts from their last championship.

Safe to say that Boston is the current king of the sports world, with the Red Sox and Patriots winning it all seemingly every year, and the Celtics and Bruins getting in on it as well, having won in 2008 and 2011, respectively.

The Red Sox only won in 2004, 2007, 2013, and 2018, so a lot, but not like the Patriots.

Name a baseball team that has won more World Series this century than Boston.  Patriots have only won one more Super Bowl than the Red Sox' World Series since 2000.

Have to agree with Henry that Boston is the current king of the sports world. :)

:nod:

They should've been in that world series, too.  Play a little small-ball in the (5th or 6th inning? maybe it was the 7th) of game 4 and that 13 inning marathon is replaced by a W for Milwaukee and a 3-1 lead in the series.

Then we could've been the ones getting shitsmoked by fucking Bo$ton.

I've supported the Orlando Magic for years and I have no idea whether I should do the happy dance, run screaming or get drunk. These guys are spastic as hell-they've been winning games no one expected and losing games they should have won. Eighth seed anyone?

Seems the Celtics have replaced the Bulls in the teams trying to tank list.  And now Stevens has lost Kyrie, who has become disinterested from the locker room.  It's getting ugly fast.  Someone needs to create a "Come to Jesus" moment.

Wow the Celtics season is all coming apart for them. I thought they were gonna be good this year. Will they have any more good years ahead of them?

Looks like our dreams of a Kyrie-LeBron Finals are dead for this season, as the Lakers probably will not even make the playoffs; definitely not what we had in mind when the season started. Oh well...I think it would be nice to see the Bucks in the Finals, but I'll be cool with whoever wins the championship, as long as it's not the Warriors.

Going to start predictions for the rest of the playoffs. I do not watch NBA pre-playoffs on TV but I keep up with how good/bad the players are.

WC:
Round 1
Warriors vs Clippers: Warriors in 5
Nuggets vs Spurs: Spurs in 7
Blazers vs Thunder: Blazers in 6
Rockets vs Jazz: Rockets in 5

Round 2:
Warriors vs Rockets: Rockets in 7. If warriors get back to full power, Warriors in 6.
Blazers vs Spurs: Blazers in 6 (Blazers know LA and his tactics, plus do better away than home in the 2nd half of the season)

WC finals:
Blazers vs Rockets: Rockets in 5.

EC:
Round 1:
Bucks vs Pistons: Bucks sweep (effort alone doesn't win playoff games)
Raptors vs magic: Raptors in 6
76ers vs Nets: 76ers in 7
Celtics vs pacers: Celtics in 5.

Round 2:
Bucks vs Celtics: Bucks in 5
Raptors vs 76ers: Raptors in 6

EC Finals:
Bucks vs Raptors: Bucks sweep. (Raptors have choked in Playoff games in the past really badly)

Finals: Rockets vs Bucks: Rockets in 5.

Will reevaluate at the start of each round if college doesn't get in the way.
