Not sure why I think this, but I think Utah will give GSW problems, should they match up.

Maybe it was GSW's 30 point win a month ago.

If there is an early round matchup that gives them fits, I think it will be Memphis.

Right now the matchup would be Denver. That wouldn't scare me if I was GSW. But if Portland sneaks into the 8, I would be a little nervous.

I don't think Memphis has the necessary offense to give them fits.

I still think healthy Clippers, Denver and then Houston can push the Warriors deep into a series. Spurs if healthy and clicking maybe as well.

Right now no one is touching them....some sort of turmoil will arise though.

So Cavs have no shot either? Utah also lost to them by 7, without Hayward playing.

Paul Milsap played 60 minutes and went 37/19/7

Hawks starters scored 37, 24, 23, 19, 19 points

This. All of this. I watched most of their game vs Portland last night and even without Curry they look ridiculous. Durant is going to be so tough to contain. And just when you think you may, Klay or Steph will go off. Or all three of them will. Hell, Iguodala had back-to-back three pointers down the stretch.

In other news though, whatever Plumlee brother Portland has (Miles? Matt? Mason? Muhammad? Mike? Mickey? Mittens?) looked pretty good last night.

I wouldn't say it's fucked. Teams should be able to do what they want. If all this stuff was transparent, those teams wouldn't last very long doing it because they would be blackballed by their own players and employees. Butler handled it right, he called their bluff, went out and played even better, and got a much better deal.

Westbrook, yet again falls short of a triple double. Only went 27/18/9....only 9 assists cause his team can't effing shoot. 18 rebounds is crazy for a PG

What's more incredible - the Heat are on a 12 game winning streak, or the Heat are on a 12 game winning streak and still seven games below .500

Not quite DeAndre Jordan, but will definitely be up there for dunk of the year.

Also...guys over 50 you don't wanna mess with lol
Charles Oakley said James Dolan turned around and saw Oakley was behind him, and had security remove him. Oakley claimed he didn't say a word before he was kicked out.

Does anyone actually believe that? Lol

Not one ounce.

Oakley is a fucking nutjob. And always has been.
