    Umm, what? Since when is the opposing team supposed to care what their opponent wants?

    Well Smith wasn't doing anything...anything...it was practically 5 on 4 it seemed like. Parsons will at least put in more effort at that spot and stretch the floor and make Ibaka guard him if anything.

    Who cares??? This is want we want, is for them to go through those two instead of Durant and Westbrook.

    I'm loving this lineup. Crossing my fingers Beverley doesn't get in foul trouble before the half.

    I think Harden will do better on Durant than expected if motivated. He played with him for 3 years, and played pretty good defense on him in the game we won.

    Bev guards Westbrook
    Lin guards Sef
    Harden "guards" Perkins
    Parsons guards Durant
    Asik guards Ibaka

    I hope they have practiced this... boxing out is also a skill, a skill that guards or SF usually don't do. They watch the ball go down but don't watch their man to box out.

    I actually originally tipped him at the 4, but i put him at the 3 because of Durant.

    But in all honesty if prefer him at the 4, while guarding Durant...

    Ibaka will do the same thing he did in Game 1....he'll light it up from the outside.

    Harden needs to play him.

    So basically Lin will stand around in the corner and do the thing he does the worst... shoot 3s... how intelligent.
