    I was about to call BS but its totally true.

    Feels like Hawes has been in the league for so much longer. I remember times when Yao had problems guarding him because he was a three point shooter on the Kings.

    Crazy.

    This is why I'm not as scared of the Clippers than I have been in the past. Their bench is just so weak, especially since Doc just loves to play his son like 20 minutes a game.

    In the past, our bench would be totally out matched by theirs but I don't think that's the case anymore. I think our bench is arguably better than theirs and with our new attention to detail on defense (on good nights) we can totally beat the Clippers if need be.

    Awful year for the Suns. 5 buzzer beating loses. Dragic and Thomas traded away.

    Their roster is exactly like the Rockets circa 2010-2012. That scary 9th best team in the West every year era post-Yao/T-Mac and pre-Harden.

    So I guess the Clippers are locked in at the 3 seed?

    I'm mad at myself for getting my hopes up that the Spurs lose since there is about a 0.4% chance of it happening, but here I am...

    Why would you do all this work when the scenarios have already been laid out? This is wrong info thus incorrect!

    Funny he went full journeyman at the end of his career but could not eclipse the 5 titles of Bryant.

    Pels are 2-1 against SA this season FWIW

    Hopefully AD goes straight up beast mode

    Errr... Major accomplishment. Rockets once had a 6 game or 7 game losing skid towards the end

    Spurs are a completely different team than they were a month and a half ago. They also know what's at stake.

    Spurs are gonna roll in all likelihood.

    SA has the most trouble with athletic bigs and Pels have a million of them. That interior defense is putrid though. with AD and Omer that's inexcusable.

    I look at the Pelicans roster and I wonder how good they would have been with a healthy roster. Pelicans are a stacked team.

    Uhhhh not really, Anthony Davis. The Thunder have to beat the Timberwolves, who are probably going to tank the game anyway. Y'all have to beat the defending champs.

    The pressure is most certainly on y'all.

    Shaq is annoying. They need to keep him on NBA TV.
