2015-16 NBA Western Conference OFFICIAL THREAD

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I am guessing it is because their *home field position seems set in stone relative to GSW, OKC, LAC, and CLE.

* In hoops it's called home court

Redick hits the buzzer beater game winner for the Clippers over Portland.

I was asleep

Not hard to believe he could make them better. What's hard to believe is you think the Clippers are the best team to beat them in a 7 game series. Not the Spurs who are the BEST defensive team in the league and have actually beat the Warriors, but the Clippers who rarely play defense and have played them 4 times and lost each time.

You always use stats to help support your claims but in this case seem to ignore them. It's odd imo.

Outside of the Spurs, the Clippers are the better matchup.

Look, they can't beat the Warriors.

But, they have a BETTER chance than anyone not the Spurs in the West.

Again: 25% chance is better than 5%...lol

Every Season they do everything they can to lose home court advantage during the last 2 weeks of the Season .

This is sick

$!ck!

And I agree, but my point is the Spurs have the BEST chance, which is what his argument is against.

The Spurs have the only chance...Imo

I would not pick a single other Team in the NBA to win more than 2 games against them.

SPURS are going to rest Leonard, Green, Mills, and Diaw tonight versus the Grizzlies

I know Memphis is also banged up, but I guess POP is already in rest for the playoffs mode.

I am guessing it is because their home field position seems set in stone relative to GSW, OKC, LAC, and CLE.

But, It would suck to lose the home winning streak because Popovich decided to rest 4 of his top 8 players.

I don't think he is. I think he wants to go at OKC tomorrow night with a full roster so he giving some guys tonight off against a banged up Memphis team

Agreed.

I would love to see clips warriors just from a entertainment standpoint

Yep, me too.

I think the Heat vs Cavs would be the only series that could compete for entertainment value.

The game would be fast and exciting, even if the end result would never be in doubt.

I look forward to the Spurs vs. Warriors because it will be a clash in styles.

But, I think whichever Team wins, it will be by grinding it out and imposing their will.

My Clippers are all style, little substance and the Spurs are the complete antithesis.

Yup should be good. Spurs will be a grind too. Also my favorite matchup is Draymond and Blake!! haaha

As long as Blake doesn't get slapped....again.....it should be fun.

Draymond has really taken a huge step up this Season.

I'm not sure if it's good or bad that Blake will be well rested.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Leonard, Mills, Green, and Diaw will not be playing tonight as healthy scratches

That sucks.
7 of the top 9 players are being rested.

The home court win streak is fun for the fans.
Give them a road game rest night Popovich and keep the home streak alive.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Way to step up ALDRIDGE

It seemed like the entire team was missing and everyone was gassed, but LA carried them.

He has quietly been incredible the last 2 months looking every bit like an MVP candidate we brought in to SA.

It took him nearly half a season to integrate.

I hope he keeps it up.....and I hope I did not just curse him to fall apart and suck again.....

 

[Heatles84]

I don't think the Spurs give two shits about the no. 1 seed.

They don't

Not like they were going to catch GSW

Blake's finally cleared.

Now on to the Suspension.

At least this means he will get some regular season burn.
