Would you rather the Lakers make it, or the Jazz? Even though it pains me to say this, I'm rooting hard for the Jazz tonight. I really want to see the Lakers miss the playoffs, AND have to give their first round pick to the Suns.
If the Rockets win tonight, then I want the Jazz to win too. I can handle them winning as long as we maintain our lead over them, but I won't root for them until we've clinched.
It's in the Rockets interest for the battle of 8th seed to stay as close as possible and the Jazz are on a roll and it's good if they lose now, Lakers are up and down as well so let them fight it out.
God I love watching the grizzlies and the spurs play basketball. This is some of the best basketball I've ever seen.
why are you so clippy. I enjoy watching the spurs play, and it doesn't matter if td plays or not, the spurs are a beautiful team to watch play basketball. That team is who I hope the grizzlies team can become. I'd rather watch the grizzlies-spurs play than any other teams play, because it is such great basketball.
Man I can't believe I hated the Grizzlies at one point. I just love the way they play. If Marc Gasol isn't All-Defense 1st team and at least an All-NBA team this season.....
I like the Grizz and think they are very well coached, and will always respect Hollins for not employing that disgraceful loophole Hackashaq in the playoffs, even though it probably would have won the Grizz the series. That all said, I don't think they're particularly fun to watch.
i personally love watching the grizzlies. It's just so different. Love the aggression of their defense. When Z-Bo and Marc are playing well it's fun to watch. Also, Clippers are picking a weird time to get into a funk. They have an easy schedule. Should still get HCA
The Clippers have been in a funk for a long time. They had the best record in the NBA after their big winning streak but have been barely over 500 since. VDN's offense is all isolation, and it seems teams have figured it out.
Grizz are fortunate that jarred bayless is flourishing in the OJ mayo scoring spark of the bench role. They will be a tough series for anyone they face.
Clips are the spurs b****. Spurs might not get to finals but if they play the clips they will destroy them again this year.
They aren't overhyped, since no one expected them to contend this year. They were put in that second tier with Memphis, Denver, Indiana, Chicago etc. and that's what they are. But with a better coach, they absolutely would contend because they are loaded with talent.
