Hey Run! How you feeling about the playoffs so far? Does GS have a chance to win the series? What do you think about Portland? And what about San Antonio?

Playoffs overall? Can't remember a better first round. Even the east has been mostly interesting. As far as GS, I was saying that the winner of game 3 would win the series, however Sterling-gate has pushed that series into uncharted waters. Who the hell knows what Staples is going to be like tomorrow. Does the smallball lineup actually kick ass against the Clips or did we just blitz them while they were disoriented? I have no fugging clue.

I stir shit up with you guys on a semi-regular basis but the last two seasons I've really despised the Rockets and love the Blazers whooping on them. Haven't watched all of the Por-Hou games but saw Aldridge and Lillard are putting on a show. Wes Matthews' defense, to me, has been the most impressive singular aspect of the series.

Haven't watched any of SA-Dallas. The western series really have turned out to be complete toss ups. Portland has the most commanding lead but still needed a few OT games to get there. Mem-OKC games are apparently 53 minutes by rule. 8th seed Dallas is up 2-1 with a game in Dallas tonight. Clips-W's is 2-2 and shrouded in all kinds of drama.

Yep, it's great. Portland could come out of the first round as the favorite the rest of the way with HCA through the second and third rounds. It's crazy. I definitely rooting for your guys. I hate the Clippers. A second first round exit for them would be awesome.
 
steph would scare the fucking shit out of me in a series, he is just insane when he is on
 
I'm not much of a fan of this Heat\Bobcats series but Kemba Walker is a player. To bad this guy is on such a shitty team. I remember when this guy got drafted I wanted the Blazers to take him so bad!
 
i think portland is the better team, but it seems like every time i watch the warriors steph is just completely on fire and just crushing the other team single-handedly
 
The Pacers are in a circular firing squad right now. Never seen anything like it in the NBA. It's much worse than the 2000-01 Blazer collapse to end the season.
 
Hibbert with 0 points and 0 rebounds in 12 minutes. We dodged a bullet there.

Not sure how that was going to happen, since Walker was the 9th pick in that draft, and Portland didn't have a pick until #22.

Golden State lost game 2 by 40. You must've missed that game. But I'm rooting for GS nonetheless. I hate the Clippers.

I think we both discussed it in the last week, but wow, either that guy isn't healthy, or he's completely checked out on that team. Portland indeed dodged a bullet, and have a better center for 1/3 the salary.

It's close. We got swept in three blowouts by the Lakers. At least Indiana won a couple games.

Yeah, you could get Dallas next round with HCA and in the WCF it would be Thunder/Grizz/Clips/W's. Clips have major question marks mentally at this point. Warriors without Bogut. Grizz are good but still a 7th seed. OKC would have HCA and would be tough but they're struggling with Memphis.

I wouldn't be scared of them at all. Aldridge would dominate and Lillard is just as scary as Curry.

Curry is the better shooter though. :ghoti:
