I would not be surprised if Westbrook is back for the conference finals which is really first time they might need him. You definitely want him for the Clips or Grizz. There will be no easy ones in the second round. | ||

Don't start man...even with the help it wouldn't matter  . If Phil Jackson was coach, he would of worked the refs after the first game using the media. That is an underrated skill of his. edit: clarity edit2: nooo, I don't even get DEN-GSW on TV =( | ||

I'm a laker fan but I'm not delusional about my team's chances in the playoffs this year. Our hopes for a title as dim as they were ended when Kobe went down. I mean come on, we're starting a 3rd string point guard. Now with every other major contender suffering major injuries to star players other than Miami there's hardly even any real contest left to be decided. If Miami doesn't win the title now with all of their competition as banged up as they are it'd be the biggest choke in NBA history. They already were going to cruise to the finals this year but now it looks like there won't be a full roster of guys from any team in the west to meet them there. | ||

OKC were never the toughest matchup for Miami anyway. I was dreading a repeat finals stomp, OKC just get shut down really hard by Miami. I also hope you're not listing Lakers among the major contenders, even healthy their defence/bench is woeful. I guess Boston, Chicago, OKC copped star injuries but there are other contenders still relatively healthy. I guess you consider none of the Knicks, Indiana, Grizz, Clippers and Spurs as 'major contenders'? Miami will still have at least two tough series vs healthy contenders to take the title. | ||

A lot of people are hesitant about the Spurs due to the way they closed out the season. I think the Heat, playing like they have been, will be able to beat the Knicks. Personally, I think the Pacers are the biggest threat to them. | ||

OKC might not have been the toughest matchup for Miami when looking at their rosters, but they were definitely the favorite to get there and probably their toughest opponent. If OKC had one weakness verse Miami is that it probably wouldn't be able to score easily due to their offense being somewhat predictable but I wouldn't say 'shut down'. Why do some people (you in this case scarecrow but its not just you) think OKC didn't do so well during the regular season? In some advanced stats, OKC did better than MIA during this season and they were working Martin in plus playing more WC teams. No one is gonna look good compared to Heat though =p. They will have an advantage somewhere. | ||
