The Thunder deserve to lose after trading Harden for what will amount to basically nothing.
I said it was a terrible trade when it happened, and it's still a terrible trade now for OKC.
Daryl Morey torched Sam Presti in that trade.
We have a lottery pick from toronto this year, another first rounder from Houston this year and our natural first rounder, also another first from houston next year. Plus Jeremy Lamb, and Martin produces fairly well most of the season. That, and we couldn't give Harden what he wanted and deserved. I think we'll be fine. Thanks for your concern, though.

I love Memphis. I dig ZBo's "old man game" and Marc Sikma (Gasol). But, now I want the Spurs to make it to the Finals, simply because I believe they'd have a shot against the Heat.
San Antonio found 2009, and somehow added more long and athletic players..it may just work.

I genuinely think the Spurs could beat the Heat. As much as I like the Grizzlies and think watching them is fun, I think the Spurs are gonna roll this series in 4 or 5, and I think that the Pacers will push the Heat to 6 or possibly even 7 games, giving the Spurs a decided advantage.
Going to be interesting.

Agreed, the Spurs will roll the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies offense matches up perfectly with what San Antonio can do; man up from the halfcourt line to the hoop. You cant win against San Antonio methodically working the ball down court. It's just a REALLY bad match-up for the Grizzlies.
The Heat play in between fast-break and halfcourt, so San Antonio will be in it. Also, the Heat will always be succeptable to good PG and big man play. Duncan's the most boring, yet efficient offensive big man, ever. He can out play Bosh, even though I Bosh is hugely underrated. OUtside of Duncan, everyone on San Antonio is apparently at least 6'9", with wigspan and defensive intensity.
I SHOULD root for Memphis so the Heat can roll 'em, and Stern doesn't get great ratings. But, what else would I watch? The Mariners? Reality TV like all you girls?

I don't think the Heat have a weakness for the Spurs to actually exploit, they may have some soft spots.
But they got one man that just makes none of it matter... You know his name and it isn't Michael Doleac...

We get it Throwdown, Juwuan Howard is your NBA Josh Portis. But, do actually think Howard will play much?
Sharkhawk is Doleac, true bill.

You don't know throw like I know throw. He and I talk on facebook all the time. He's referring to Udonis Haslem.

Game 1's fricking great, old-school, have an enforcer on the roster, playoff basketball. Very physical. I wish this type of hoops was allowed more.
It wasn't THAT long ago every team had an enforcer, was it?

Those last couple defensive stands by the Pacers were some of the worst. You know LeBron is cutting but no help? Really?

You can blame that squarely on Vogel. Hibbert on the bench for each of those plays.

I was gonna ask about that. So he wasn't fouled out then? Why take your best defender in the paint if he's available!!!!! Really Hill and George is supposed to stop LBJ one on one?

Well that's definitely gonna lead to an interesting debate over the next couple of days.
I definitely am in the camp thinking that Hibbery should have been on the floor, was screaming at my TV when he was taken off. Guy can make even Lebron change his shots when driving.

I don't think I've ever seen such a self-defeating sloppy bunch as this Pacers. They seem to constantly try to give the game away.

Yeah, I think its youth. But, scary thing with youth, once you grow there's no looking back.
