    Flip a coin. That's who we should play.

    Exactly. If Dwight Howard is playing like the best center in the NBA, Deandre shouldn't be able to stop him and James Harden won't be guarded by elite defenders. Also, teams with no bench don't win championships.

    To be fair this is the best the two teams have played. On average both teams are a little worse.

    I'm not worried about the defense. Mavs just managed to speed up the tempo because they literally can't rely on anything else. What I am worried about is the offense. We have to play solid for all four quarters. No more 1st half 2nd half jekyll and hyde.

    yeah well, the clippers are growing up and they aren't going to be easy to beat by anybody.

    No one said they would be easy. Just that they may be easier than the Spurs.

    Rockets have to be unstoppable at this point. Spurs or Clips next round and then the super hot Golden State, if like I expect, they beat Memphis. And then LeBron waiting for you in the finals. :(
    Time for Harden to earn that MVP label!

    Blake Griffin has been rubbish in the fourth quarters.

    To me - he's laid a huge egg this series. I'm sure he's putting up numbers.

    But when your team expects your superstar to step up in crunch time - it seems (at least to me) he's left them lacking constantly.

    I think you gotta put Nick Johnson out there to experiment with the perimeter defense if not he has 6 fouls to cushion Terry and Prigioni...

    If we won it all this year, this team would be one of the greatest of all time to get through powerhouses like that...

    everyone would remember this year

    can our guys turn it up another level? i've been surprised already this year with our play; i'm not satisfied though.
