Mecca...your avatar is hilarious. And sorry to hear about CP3 & Blake.

Thanks, Wamupedia.

Death, taxes, Clippers player suffers catastrophic injury...

You can set your watch to these things occurring..

I know what ya mean. After all I'm a Browns fan. I really gotta stop saying that, it's depressing.

Kawhi has to shut KD down, and Duncan and LA need to protect the rim. IF both happens, Spurs in 6.

It will be interesting to see how many minutes & situations that Timmy gets in the next series. I think it will depend if OKC tries to get him into a lot of pick & rolls. If Spurs/Warriors meet and Curry is healthy -- I could see Timmy not getting a lot of minutes .. like the game last month when he didn't start and only got 7 minutes. (he was healthy)

Timmy can play when **** Stasche * Adams* is on the floor.

I'd probably go with fat Boris or Lamarcus against Kanter.

Uhhhhhh...when did this site start censoring words?

Timmy is only getting 20 mins a game and only getting 3 FG attempts. I think in the end they need a little more from them other than his post defense and rebounding. Aldridge and Leonard are there to carry the load but OKC is a handful. Westbrook should get what he wants but KD will have it tough with Leonard on him. Both teams need role players to step up, also if Parker can have a good series it could take some pressure of other guys as well.

I think the Spurs are too much to handle so I am picking them to win it in 6, but I wouldn't be shocked if OKC plays well and upsets. OKC is always a tough matchup for San Antonio. It should be a great series.

That is strange. Do they usually let another series start if others haven't ended? If the Clip-Portland or Houston-GS series goes to 7, OKC-SA will have played 2 games before they even play just 1 game.

Yeah they do.

 

[trojanfan12]

Spurs in 6.

But, Cuban is INSANE!!!!!

Westbrook is a MONSTA!

Mark Cuban says Russell Westbrook, Draymond Green don't pass his superstar test

I think I may finally have my answer to my question about why Dallas can't ever seem to land any top FA's...Cuban is a dumbass.

I mean, Jim Buss has done and said some stupid shit...but I'm pretty sure that even he knows Westbrook is a superstar.

MAVS IN ....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh fuck it


Spurs in 5

That happens from time to time. Especially when one series is a sweep and the other goes 6 or 7 games. If they didn't, the time off between games would be too much.

This is probably a foreign concept seeing as though this is only the 2nd season the Cavs have been in the playoffs since LBJ left 6 seasons ago. Couple that with him also becoming a Cavs fan again when LBJ returned & you understand the challenge.

Nah, Shane gets it. He has the experience from being a Heat fan when Lebron was in Miami.

 

[Wishbone]

This series is going 6 or 7. Both teams are going to win games.

It just doesn't make any sense.

I love the fact that he is so appreciative of Dirk.

I can live with his opinion of Mr. Swiss Army Knife, Draymond.

But, there is no logical reason to incite Westbrook and I refuse to believe that he doesn't see him as a Superstar.

Curry is the Golden boy right now.

But, Westbrook is the 2nd best pg in the NBA and a top 5 player overall...imo

He's always been a loose cannon. Apparently, part of that means shooting yourself sometimes.

Obsessed much. It is an easy concept for you bc you jump from playoff team to playoff team

OKC's lack of execution and inability to close out quarters, plus their really weak supporting cast, will mean the Spurs win in 5. I think it's quite possible the Spurs sweep, but I gotta believe that KD and Westbrook's sheer talent alone will allow them to snatch a win in game 3 or 4.

You really think that?

Wow...Spurs are really good.

But, Kanter, Ibaka and even Waiters had a good first round.

I'm taking the Spurs too.

But, in 6.

Westbrook is gonna give them hell.

Sadly, he seems to get caught up in 1 on 1 battles and looses focus on the big picture.

 

[Hambombs]

Okc has to win the series in 6 or less to win the series. They won't win a game 7 in San Antonio. Not sure what I want to predict? Maybe spurs in 6
