OKC are playing Minnesota next. Minnesota has the worst record now, with the Knicks victory over Atlanta. They have every reason to lose and no reason to win. NO plays San Antonio next. SA will want to win to secure the number 2 seed and avoid meeting Goldern State in the second round. And I really wanted to see Anthony Davis vs. all of Golden State  | ||

CP3 is better than Westbrook all the triple double attention aside. Plays better defense is a better distributor doesnt' chuck threes when he's gassed in the 4th but doesn't want to give up the ball. Lebron is better than WB as well and saying the Cavs comeback was all because of their trades isn't true at all, he started playing much better after a lackluster first month and that was key. | ||

Because they are amazing, but its also been 25 years since a team won the title with a player as short as Steph as their best player. I just think I'm going to be wrong about this season. Its too confusing. that's ridiculous. they have bogut who is a huge part of their defense and also can pass quite well on offense. | ||

The drop off between an all-star level big man and a league average one is much greater than the dropoff between an all star pg and an average one. The Warriors are an exception to what clutz is talking about I think partially because Curry is so good but they also have talent at every position, having Draymond and Bogut as your centers isn't anything to laugh at, both are max guys. | ||

Thus my dilemma. Do I trust the numbers and my eyes that Curry is a dominant player and that they are fielding 4 people worth $20+ million/year on the court at once? Or do I trust the little jerk in my head that keeps saying, "Lebron, Duncan, Kobe, Shaq"? | ||
