They know I can see them, right?

No one talks about them but quietly they will probably win the title, I can see them taking both OKC and Miami. It's amazing how much better Diaw is just by going from the Bobcats to the Spurs. If Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard continue to play the way they are the Spurs are unstoppable. The series vs OKC will be amazing if OKC can stay hot. I think they have the bodies to put on Durant with Leonard and Stephen Jackson. I think the biggest issue will be guarding Harden. They will probably put Danny Green on Westbrook but that would then leave Parker or Neal on Harden. I would just keep Green and Manu on Harden and let Parker use his quickness to try to slow down Westbrook who will get his. The front courts are pretty much a wash with OKC having no true post player, Duncan is just still so crafty that even the shot blocking of Ibaka will be a non factor at times. The Spurs are actually retooling for being a solid team even when Duncan retires, it's scary but they have the rights to so many players who if they bring over can be impact NBA players like Ezarem Lorbek, Nando De Colo, and they are developing Davis Bertans and Adam Hanga.

Yeah, they don't care. (Enter laugh track)

They're a machine, and having the best coach in the NBA by miles and miles certainly helps this. Him against VDN is probably the most ridiculously one sided coaching matchup of all time. In addition to that, DeAndre Jordan is absolutely worthless and Chuck ranting on Blake now is hilarity.

Oh him vs. Coach Spo may rival that if thats the Final matchup.

I just don't see how either the Thunder or Spurs don't win the championship. They are both damn good. No offense to Indiana but I think the Mavs would have beaten them and they got 4-0'd by OKC.

Spo is nowhere near as bad as VDN.

soybean · 05-21-2012, 01:47 AM

The clips win in spite of VDN. Coach Spo is a great defensive coach. His offense, substitutions and minute watch could use some help though.

MetSox17 · 05-21-2012, 04:15 AM

Del Negro is by far the worst coach in the NBA. He couldn't coach his way out of a shoebox.

Forenci · 05-21-2012, 04:54 AM

Why does it seem there are so many crappy coaches in the NBA? I really don't understand it. It seems like there are a few good/great coaches but other than that the majority of them seem to suck.

It's amazing what a great coach can do for you. Popovich seems to get the best out of so many players.

I don't think many Pacers fans would argue against you. The Pacers are playing inspired ball lately but not championship level. They have to hit the shots they are getting. Some are ill advised, but they are getting open looks that just don't go down. The Spurs hit those shots and crush teams with their ridiculous consistency.

I don't see any team from the East doing much in the finals.

Magic part ways with Stan Van Gundy and Otis Smith

Not surprising at all.

I read an article about him signing an ED with Pepsi. I thought it'd just be a small commercial or something.

What is with mike browns obsession with steve blake?

Also, Kobe has the best moves in the game. We can all agree on that right?

Ebanks just lebron blocked harden. it was sweet.

soybean · 05-21-2012, 09:52 PM

The NBA is so Rudy G right now. It's unbearable and I don't have anything invested in either team.

Thank you. And this is coming from an objective fan. Like Yyo said, he got a flagrant because of who he is.

what's so ******** about the league is how the refs can completely blow a call and if you argue that's a technical. So basically the refs can **** you even harder.

**** the nba.

mqtirishfan · 05-21-2012, 10:19 PM

In fairness to the refs, Metta shouldn't even be allowed to play yet.

mqtirishfan · 05-21-2012, 10:56 PM

Get some, KD.
