And Silver has his head up his ass if he thinks just because owners aren't saying they are tanking......doesn't mean certain teams aren't tanking.

SA without Leonard.....may not be able to beat GS or Houston but they can compete with anybody else in the WC.

Maybe Pop's best job as a coach if he can keep this rag-tag injured group in the mix
Too many rest games for my liking with the few non-injured bodies on the roster, but he is the coach not me.

The roster is arguably worse than all the other Western Contenders
But If they can get Rudy Gay back, they can beat Houston. I dont believe in them for a second.
They cannot beat Golden State without Kawahi, and probably could not beat them with Kawahi.

Golden State can play ferocious defense at times. It is a real defense with downright smothering results.
They dont get enough credit for how awesome their defense is during this title stretch.

Houston is all smoke and mirrors with their defense.
D'Antoni will always be exposed by real defensive teams in a tight series.

Every year, D'Antoni tricks people into saying "This year is diffrent." because of regular season wins.

And someone will likely say it again this year.

Without Kawhi, you can't beat Houston.

I'm not even sure you can beat OKC.

Gay would start and be a homeless man's version of Leonard.......but they could beat any playoff team, except GS and Houston IMO. GS and Harden, CP, and co are too much IMO. The reason being Pop is their HC and he's the reason I'd take them over OKC and Minny, plus the rest of the WC (minus GS and Houston of course).

If I wasn't a die-hard Lakers fan......I'd have a Fat head of Pop on my ceiling for target practice.

It actually been a decent winter here. Outside of those two weeks in late December/early January where it didn't 30, I have no complaints about the winter so far. Had 1 snow storm and hasn't been cold as it usually is.

February is usually the coldest month and temps been in the 40's, 50's, and now 60's/70's for the entire month
