Another is I looked at history the past decade or so and teams who get off to a hot start in the playoffs folded late. Cleveland won their first 8 games in 2009, Miami started 8-0 in 2005, Orlando 8-0 in 2010, etc. Then I think of some of the teams who won it all and the tough rounds they were in. I guess it makes them more battle tested, as oppose to a team who never faced adversity and struggle with it when they do.
OKC is tougher, younger team and have 2 elite players. Ginobili, Parker & Duncan are good but not great. Also the thing people forget is that although the Thunder don't have the inside scoring but are great defenders. And at the end of the day I'd take OKC winning a shooting contest over the Spurs

duncan can definitely be described as "good" at this point in his career. parker and ginobili, on the other hand, are great players

I would still take Timmy over a lot of PF's in the game.

Tony Parker was the best PG in basketball this year. And Manu is Manu; a great ass player.

So Bosh is playing. But according to Doris, he won't play when KG is in.

Makes sense...not really.

Well, if I'm Doc I play KG 48 minutes and call Spo's bluff.

Was listening to a guy on the radio from NBA TV this afternoon and he said he wouldn't be surprised if Rivers did something wacky like go with a "hack a Lebron" game plan in the 4th quarter to put the pressure on Lebron. Guy said "he's lucky if he makes his free throws in the 2nd quarter....he's going to give you 'clang....clang' in the 4th."

The one guy you can NEVER help off of, Ray Allen. I don't get why teams continue to do it. He gets so many open looks at 3 every game.

Jesus Christ.

You got your shot blocked. Don't look to the ref for a foul call when it was a clear block.

You act as if Kobe doesn't do the same thing.

What was the difference between what Rondo did and what LBJ did?

The only two people I've seen you complain about are Wade and Lebron.

I've also said a ton of shit about Kobe flailing his arms and shit. Continue with your Heat cock sucking though.

Ive seen Wildcats admit when Kobe gets a call. Its his team, so he wont complain, but he does admit when Kobe/Lakers get calls or the benefit of the doubt.

You tried to call him out and have no clue what you're talking about.
