Happy to beat the Mavs 4-1 and move on. Bright spots have been Dwight and Josh. But the defense as a whole has been terrible this series. Works against a terrible team like Dallas, but that needs to be addressed. I dread the matchups of either Parker or Paul against the 37yearolds. That will be brutal.

Blazers are done and LaMarcus will probably leave. Time to build around Lillard who is quite overrated at this point, haven't seen much improvement in his game since his rookie season, but he still has great potential.

If Houston makes it through, I would like for them to meet the Spurs. Don't think we have have met them in the playoffs since The Dreams obliteration of the Admiral in 95 when Robinson got the nod as MVP. Reminds me of how long the Rockets have been irrelevant when we haven't met them in the playoffs for so long and I think about how long the Spurs have been contending and making the playoffs. Mad respect to the Spurs, so I would like to square off against them at least one time before Duncan hangs em up.

Scott Brooks just got fired from OKC. Interesting to see what direction the Thunder will take next year.

Warriors have been going ballistic all season. Very impressive. Curry will probably be MVP, and it's hard to argue with that even though there are others deserving it too.

I love the greyhound. Great game. Absolutely have to retain him this offseason.

[profanity removed] me! First Bev, now DMo is ruled out for the rest of the season. Two starters out. damn, what terrible timing.

Lol

Good job playaz. Pats are done btw, don't have the time for UDFA.

Damn, looks like Bev might be out for the season with a wrist injury. What great timing. Good luck to the 40 year olds Terry and Prigioni.... Or rookie Nick Johnson. Bah....

Didn't get to watch too many Texans games this year, but how did he fare? Can't say he impressed me back when he was with the Chiefs.

Thanks

I'm off to bed, so who wants my pick?

Might be a bit of a homer pick. But Auburn has been my team since living in Alabama 10+ years ago, so I follow them quite closely, and I believe in Cameron.

2 a.m. But pick will be up shortly

Hell yeah. Damn good improvement everybody. You all deserve +1's

Yeah, I'll just refrain from discussing the Grizzlies with you. Harden got absolutely hacked and was going for the win driving to the basket. It was a tight space but he was of course going for the shot, not going for a foul. He never got to the shot though because he got hacked. Absolutely no excuse to miss that call. While the finger from Jones was him barely touching him while all his momentum was going backwards after the initial bump by Gasol. Might've been called, not denying that. But that would've been a soft butt foul, and can't be compared to the foul on Harden. I'll just leave it at that. The refs messed up. But it's the regular season. So meh

Meh, Harden got hacked. The NBA admitted it too with the report that came out today. Gasol may have gotten a finger on his arm on the game winner. But that's extremely ticky tacky and big difference from being hacked. Thought you appreciated old school basketball and hated ticky tack fouls.

Yeah I know, I know. Them hands and not a very good combine. But Gronk and Funchess creates a lot of matchup problems for Shady Brady take advantage of.

But you agree that it was a foul though?

A couple good picks there with Kendricks and Goldman

He read my message about being up 5 hours ago. Lol

Smart man

Thanks. And sorry for the wait guys. I live in Dubai now, so you can tack on another 3 hours in time difference. Anyways, glad to pick up Collins here. Revis is obviously a big loss, but netting Shelton for him and adding Collins to the secondary group of Ryan, Browner, Arrington, Dennard and Brown with McCourty and Chung is formidable. The defense is looking good.

Yup. Every matchup is going to be intriguing. I have GSW and Grizzlies as favorites to make it through this year. But I'm not discounting any of the western teams to be honest.
