And, there is another thing Dubs fans have to look forwards too. If you do prove him wrong and win the title, his response will be to call your women fat.

Barkley is just too stubborn to accept anything he doesn't understand. It's why he's big against analytics and also against the progression of the league moving from big man dominated league to a guard dominated league.

I pretty much ignore anything Barkley has to say because I take it for entertainment value. The only thing that even remotely irks me about anything he says about the Warriors is not acknowledging any team beating them would be an upset(Spurs aside). He believes the Clippers should be a favorite against the Warriors. I mean ok, if you think the Clips have a great matchup and can beat them, great. But treating a team that has lost 24 games in two seasons like they're underdogs is absurd.

Oh and Charles will probably has no idea that the Warriors are 7-1 against the Clippers in the last two years.

You do have to take into consideration that the Clips were without their 2nd best player for 2 of the games.

They actually outplayed the Warriors in the 2 games that Blake did play but just gave the game away in the 4th both times.

Meh lol

The Clippers are the most dangerous team to either San Antonio or Golden State
They can beat anyone and know it if RESTED.

Their problem is that they get tired..
They only play 7 deep (4 of those guys are in their 30s).

If the Clippers can sweep Portland.
I give them a 25% chance to beat GSW as they will be rested a bit more.

If the Clippers take a few games to dispatch Portland...
They wont win a single game vs GS.

It is the same thing that happened last season, they played a grueling and tiring 7 game series with SA.
They were vunerable to a worse Houston team and made lots of energy mistakes.

I agree with everything you just said. Problem for the Clippers is, I don't see them sweeping Portland. Especially the way that team plays.

Yep. I assume these games will somewhat be interesting when the favorites go on the road but the only West series worth watching from start to finish is Clippers/Blazers.

 

[bksballer89]

Would be nice if the underdogs out West actually compete in game 2 of their series.

 

[gordontrue]

Can someone let me know when the western conf gets to the 2nd round...

How is it the Warriors win by 26 and it's only the 3rd largest margin of victory by a Western Conference team. That's crazy.

Because the Warriors are only the 3rd best Western Conference team?

I agree, except for the Rockets

3rd Times the charm?

Some really good matchups if the Thunder can win their series.

Warriors vs Clippers. Clippers didn't get a chance last year after giving up the series to Houston.

Spurs vs Thunder. The Thunder are a tough matchup for SA always and also should be a hell of a series.

I really want to see these matchups.

14 games in the next 4 days. I love this time of the year.

Let's hope all are competitive except Miami/Charlotte game 3

Damn. I was driving back from a commercial real estate seminar and missed it. Would have liked to have seen that.

Playoffs are so boring I'm not even paying attention right now. I watch like 2Q and say this game sucks and move on. I can't wait for the next round.
