    I do differentiate the two. But we can't criticize McHale for something that hasn't happened yet. If we get home court in Round 1 and a favorable matchup only to flame out again thanks in part to lousy coaching, I'll be more than willing to call out McHale(as well as Rockets management for resigning him prematurely to a 3-year deal).

    Thus far though, I have to begrudgingly admit the man has done a pretty damn good job. I'm still nervous about their remaining schedule given how tough the opponents are, how road heavy it is, and the way the team has collapsed every season in April since McHale was hired. But let's at least let them play the rest of the regular season and the playoffs before trashing the guy's coaching abilities.

    Theres too many chefs in the kitchen when it comes to how we play. We got a Yes Man in charge thats making it happen with a pre-madonna Harden, a not serious Dwight, worlds most praised dumbest smartest GM. We have too many ball philosophist. Axe the gm nerd stats then axe out the iso-ball harden. Rest can stay

    If D12 plays like he did last year and Harden shows up, we win...well, at least the 1st round.

    By the end of the week we could have the 2 seed and a 2-7 matchup with the Mavs would be perfect.

    Spurs are likely going to move up, and Blazers move down. The team I really want to face is the Mavs, the best team in Texas listed by the TNT dude. We should destroy the Mavs if Howard is going to be healthy by the playoff. I do not think we can beat Spurs, likely. I think we end in facing Blazers again.

    I'd be fine with the Blazers or Mavs. Portland's a mess right now with their injuries. And Dallas is healthy but just not very good.

    If Kawhi is guarding him? Yea I'll doubt he'll have a great series.

    The Blazers can't move down unless passed by OKC. They are their division champion and are locked into the 4th.

    I hope the spurs play the warriors in the 2nd round. They will knock off the Warriors.

    The Warriors will run through the Spurs like a dose of salts through a widow woman.
