    Wouldn't surprise me with how OKC has been playing of late.

    I predicted ATL sweep. So far so good.

    Honestly, can anyone think of a weaker 1 seed than this year's Pacers? OK OK, this year's post all star break Pacers.

    Seriously I've been following the Pacers a bit since I had Hibbert on my fantasy team. They're not contenders. And Hibbert sucks so much.

    What do y'all think about Frank Vogel? If the Pacers lose and in a panic move decide to fire Vogel and assuming McHale resigns or is fired, would you hire Vogel? Pacers are clearly an elite defensive team and values analytical concepts. Would seem to synergize well with Morey.

    If Al Horford didn't go down, this Hawks team might have been the 3rd seed with a respectable record.

    Two things that dramatically changed the course of the team :

    Signing Bynum
    Trading Granger for Turner

    Till those things , team was rolling like a well oiled machine.

    Paul George's offense is worse than James Harden's defense.

    Hibbert would suck so much going up against Asik.

    Harden's silver lining in his poor defense is his elite post defense.

    George does not excel at anything on offense. Not in the post, not in foul drawing, not in playmaking, not in driving in.

    Did you just say Harden is an elite post defender? I assume this is a typo, yeah?

    And yet Larry Bird is treated like a god tier general manager. Don't forget they could've had Kawhi Leonard but traded him away for an average point guard (they also had D.J. Augustin last year).

    Scola was one of their highlight signings and he's been ineffective lately.

    What's happened to Indiana? They've sucked horribly since the All Star break.
