Doing great, thanks for asking. And yep Mick was around briefly, hopefully he starts posting here more often. Glad to hear things are good for you right now. By the way have you spoken to LAD lately, if so how's she & her little one doing?

Remind me why I am watching the Suns Spurs game again?

Die hard

 

[Hambombs]

Very well coached.

But, who is their go to guy?

Isiah Thomas?

The Cavs have to much talent.

I think it's more about getting good shots than it is about who is the closer IMO

 

[bksballer89]

I don't think anyone is suggesting that Boston would beat Cleveland in a series but they make it tough for them

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

It's about both.

When the games on the line and you need a bucket, who takes the shot?

On every other playoff Team you know who that guy is, except maybe the Bucks post-trade.

Some have 2 or 3.

The Celtics have zero unless you count Thomas.

They will go out with a whimper in 5 games.

Maybe it's my dissapointment with the Heat/Cavs matchup going up in flames.

But, I think the Cavs will barely be tested in the 1st round.

Think about these teams in terms of playoff experience.

Nets, Pacers, Heat, Celtics

One of these teams sticks out like a sore thumb.

She was here a few weeks back.

That baby is beautiful and sooo big!

You have to check out Allday's avatar.

Who you got, outside the Celtics, this year?

Hard to bet against the Spurs.

They are a fricking MACHINE right now!

Historically, they are outstanding.

But, who on that roster has ever been to the playoffs, Wallace?

...and he doesn't even play.

Bass?

* tries really hard to avoid mentioning Kyrie and Love*

Yeah, I was meaning more the playoff experience on roster, not the playoff experience of the franchise. In which case, the Celtics are the only team without a lot of it.


Kyrie and Love are playoff virgins, but their best player has tons of it and virtually every other meaningful player on the team has a good amount.

Yeah, I was just ribbing you about the Cavs...lol

I don't think Shumpert will be able to do much to slow down Isiah.

But, Smart, Bradley are gonna get gobbled up trying to check Kyrie.

Nobody on that Team can slow down Lebron.

Glad to hear things are good for LAD, & I will check out her avi. And who do I have? Well not really sure right now. The W is loaded again & even though they are senior citizens in NBA years you can never bet against the Spurs, especially if they are 100% healthy. How do you feel about your Clippers, is this the year they make some noise? Although there's just something about the Spurs, I'm guessing this is gonna be their last run together, which could make them an even tougher out. The Celtics have no chance of winning it all...again DAMMIT! I really have no strong rooting interest heading into this years playoffs, pretty much I just wanna see alotta good playoff basketball this year.

The Clippers better pray they don't get the Griz in the 1st round.

They might still lose to the Mavs or Rox.

The West teams are all pretty even from Teams 3-7.

Portland would have been their best chance out of the 1st round.

They won't make it past the 2nd round...again

It's the Sprus or Warriors...and nobody else in the West is close.

I'm rolling with the Bulls in the east because I picked them before the season started.

Everyone has injuries. So, you just have to roll with who ya got....But, I do feel sorry for the Griz. They have had a fantastic Season and I hate to see them limp into the playoffs.

Ditto for the Thunder and Heat who won't make it.

* Westbrook is not very smart with that 16th Tech and suspension *

But, I think the Cavs will make the finals...or Atlanta.

Smart can give kyrie problems. He's a pretty good defender

 

[Hambombs]

Also Mecca griz wouldn't be a bad matchup for you

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

I wonder if GOLDEN STATE plays their starters tonight vs Memphis.

If they win, they basicallly push the healthier teams to the other side of the bracket and keep wounded Portland/memphis on their side.

Portland is hurting right now. Memphis might not have Gasol.

If they lose, then its even more chaotic.

All I've heard is that Draymond green is questionable. They're playing tonight. I see them resting against Denver

Only if Gasol and Conley are injured.

Otherwise, curb stomp.
