I think they're not forcing it now but if they get to the playoffs and losing/falling behind I can't imagine them not stepping it up.

What it comes down to is that having elite big men is more important than having an elite guard, and it's not like Conley/Allen is a terrible backcourt either. Plus, wtf are the Clippers gonna do in crunchtime? MEM can hack-a-Jordan, and if they play Odom as usual as they have been doing..well it's Odom lol

Denver is going to annihilate Golden State. David Lee can't protect the paint and without Bogut they are doomed to the highest scoring team in the paint this year.

Kobe takes his talent to south beach for vet min. Foolproof way Lebron/Wade will never have more rings than him.

Personally I'd find it epic as fuck.

A while back Jason Whitlock (i hate this guy btw) made an analogy with Kobe Bryant and Neddard Stark, in that only in watching Kobe flame out brilliantly during a doomed season did a Kobe hater like him ever learn to really respect him and that it did wonders for his public image.

I think if we actually adopted that analogy (as stupid as it is) we could say that Kobe's injury is similar to Neddard's beheading in that it sparks a war, one that little King Joffrey never saw coming.

So IMO it'd be pretty epic if Kobe's going out lights a real fire under the team's ass and gets them playing unreal levels of basketball.

Likely to happen? No way. Epic as fuck if it did? Oh yea.

Dubs are likely to slip to 7th (Houston owns TB).

So it's prob OKC/SAS vs GSW/UTH/LAL.

Bogut will def play in Playoffs, I think they're just nursing him through last couple.

Hmmm, I dunno. Houston has two easy games v Phx and Sac. I think they'll beat the Kobe-less Lakers too which would give them #6. Dubs need to win their last two and hope Houston drops one if they want to hang on to #6.

I really want Chicago to go far in the play offs. The nets have not amazed me so far. If Nate Robinson brings his A game then I think they will be able to handle the nets.
But seriously Miami has already won this season.

For me,
West
OKC
MEM
SAS
DEN
Memphis/Denver gonna be close though
East
MIA
BKN
NYK
IND

1st round gonna be pretty boring I think. Only the 2 west series, NYK/BOS, and maybe IND/CHI are gonna be good. Other 4 are gonna be blowouts.

I think Celtics can beat NYC, but CHI will stop overachieving and get beat pretty handily by the Pacers. Clippers over Grizzlies. Which other West series will be close?

Denver/GSW will be fun, but I think it's a 5 game series at best for the Warriors. Denver is significantly better.


Celtics can, but they probably won't.

Though there's something to be said about the way celtics pull off wins in playoffs vs regular.
