Here are the playoffs predictions from six of RealGM's basketball writers:

First Round Winners: Hawks, Cavaliers, Bulls, Wizards, Warriors, Mavericks, Spurs, Grizzlies 

Second Round Winners: Hawks, Cavaliers, Warriors, Spurs

Conference Finals Winners: Cavaliers, Spurs

Finals Winner: Spurs

Time had seem to finally catch up for the Spurs (again) earlier this season, but everything is clicking for them again as it was last spring. The Warriors have been shockingly dominant in the regular season and would win a title in most of the past 10 years, but the Spurs are their toughest matchup and are just a little bit better with Kawhi Leonard as their linchpin.

Second Round Winners: Hawks, Cavaliers, Warriors, Rockets

Conference Finals Winners: Cavaliers, Warriors

Finals Winner: Warriors

Both Golden State and Cleveland will be tested as they progress in the postseason, but the Warriors have had a storybook season that can only end in championship or nothing. Another memorable Finals series for LeBron, a seven-game matchup against a team as lively and prolific with the ball as those old Spurs.

First Round Winners: Hawks, Cavaliers, Bulls, Raptors, Warriors, Rockets, Spurs, Grizzlies 

Second Round Winners: Hawks, Cavaliers, Warriors, Spurs

Conference Finals Winners: Spurs, Hawks

Finals Winner: Spurs

I think a Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and Spurs would ultimately decide the NBA championship and I'd give the Spurs the edge for two main reasons - they can get more offense at the 5 spot from Tim Duncan and they can win the match-up at the 3/4 positions with Kawhi Leonard and Boris Diaw. Steph Curry might be the MVP but the most important player on the Warriors is Draymond Green and if you can attack his defense at the PF position you open up a lot of things against the Warriors defense.

First Round Winners: Hawks, Cavaliers, Bulls, Raptors, Warriors, Rockets, Spurs, Grizzlies

Second Round Winners: Hawks, Cavaliers, Warriors, Spurs

Conference Finals Winners: Cavaliers, Warriors

Finals Winner: Warriors

In my eyes, there are three strong (and pretty equal) title contenders: the Warriors, Spurs and Cavaliers. The Warriors get the nod because they have a meaningfully easier road to the Conference Finals than the other two, would stand a good chance of making the NBA Finals should they get that far and match up reasonably well against Cleveland or Atlanta. Golden State has dominated so much of this season that even a justifiable downshift due to improved competition gives them a very good shot at bringing home the Larry O'Brien Trophy.

First Round Winners: Hawks, Cavaliers, Raptors, Bulls, Warriors, Rockets, Spurs, Grizzlies

Second Round Winners: Hawks, Cavaliers, Warriors, Spurs

Conference Finals Winners: Cavaliers, Warriors

Finals Winner: Cavaliers

Could the Hawks or Bulls keep the Cavaliers from The Finals? Absolutely, but I’m taking Cleveland because LeBron James is motivated and more rested than he has ever been heading into the postseason. The Warriors had a historic regular season, but getting through the West will wound them. Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love will have time for growing pains as playoff rookies and David Griffin has pulled the right strings to win it all in Year 1 of LeBron’s homecoming.

First Round Winners: Hawks, Cavaliers, Wizards, Bulls, Warriors, Spurs, Grizzlies, Rockets

Second Round Winners: Hawks, Cavaliers, Warriors, Spurs

Conference Finals Winners: Cavaliers, Warriors

Finals Winner: Warriors

It's hard to find a chink in Golden State's armor. They had the league's best offense and defense during the regular season, a head coach in Steve Kerr who has won in the Finals and an assistant in Alvin Gentry who was tenure in Phoenix included a run to a Western Conference Finals. On top of that, they have depth that allows them to be both versatile and withstand any minor injury issues. Barring something keeping Steph Curry (or maybe Andrew Bogut) off the court for an extended period of time, this Warriors will be hoisting the Larry O'Brien trophy come June. 

Jarrod Rudolph (@jarrodrudolph)

First Round Winners: Hawks, Cavaliers, Bulls, Raptors, Warriors, Rockets, Spurs, Blazers

Second Round Winners: Hawks, Cavaliers, Warriors, Spurs

Conference Finals Winners: Cavaliers Spurs

Finals Winner: Spurs

The Spurs enter the playoffs playing their best basketball of the season. They have the experience, chemistry and ability to adapt to anything they'll see in the playoffs. They easily claim their sixth NBA championship, repeating for the first time in franchise history.
