Detroit going on to the second round.
Cleveland going on to the second round.
Chicago going on to the second round.

Denver out in the first round.

Mavericks out in the most embarrassing series since the playoffs went to 7 games in the first round.

So far, so good.

GSW Can Win the NBA Championship

Now that Miami and Dallas is gone, this thing is wide open. If the Warriors have the proverbial one bullet left in the chamber, I can see this team winning the NBA finals:

They can beat either Utah or Houston. Their most daunting challenge would be against either the Spurs or the Suns. But if they can upset either of those two teams, in my opinion they can beat any team in the East.

They beat Detroit twice in the regular season, they match up very well against the Bulls and the Nets. Who is left? Cleveland???? PLEASE!!!!!! Although I bleed Purple and Black, being born and raised in San Francisco, I am feeling the vibe. It feels like 1975!!!!!!

I'm lucky I wouldn't know anything as a fan about losing a title after winning 67 games.

That's gotta be brutal for the Mavs fans because I remember the Sonics fans groaning in pain as the clock ticked out on them in Gm5, 94.

Yao's gonna be a big problem for them if they can't consistently force the pace.

And I thought the Mavs major choke job if the finals last year had to be embarrassing!
