Honestly? Hard to say. Without giving it a ton of thought, my initial reaction is: UTAH > LAC/OKC LAC = OKC LAC/OKC > MEM I do not see OKC as the pushover many think. They matchup very badly for us, despite less talent overall. The Clippers are the exact opposite, as I feel they have similar talent, but don't matchup especially well with us, but still obviously provide some problems in areas. I honestly don't think we have a "good" matchup, outside of Memphis. We should be favored in any series, but UTAH/LAC/OKC all present issues that worry me.
LAC has now played the most Away games in the league. We shall see how good RW/HL standings are versus W/L. LAC still has a good lead on OKC, better than the W/L games behind show. OKC has a 7 home and 7 away schedule left vs Clippers 9 home and 4 away. And OKC has a horrible Away record. I'm surprised they rested Griffin and Jordan against Denver, but guess it makes sense, since it's so hard to win in b2b in Denver.
I'm sure the Clips will still have the 14-15 playoffs embarrassment on their minds if they went against us. That extra motivation to return the favor would be scary.
http://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400900412 Marc Gasol with a triple double tonight against Dwight Howard. He went 18/10/10 with assists. Not bad. Anybody watch the game?
NOPE. I was watching what ESPN told me to watch, WestBrook Triple Double watch. Didn't even know there were other NBA players other than Westbrook, according to ESPN.
Yeah I watched it, Mike Conley is earning his paycheck. Hawks tried to make a comeback in the fourth, Conley, Allen and Gasol shut that **** down. Jizzlies are a sf away lol
I'm not trippin about nobody, I was worried about the length of Utah that team folds when faced with aggression. I'm not scared of ****, whoever want it can come get some
OKC surging. LAC fading. Craptors looked awful vs OKC. Glad the Cavs held on to beat Utah. Folks, OKC is getting better. Westbrook is dialing it back and getting his teammates involved (ala Harden). Despite media narrative, OKC does have a good supporting cast. Olidipo, Adams, Taj now in the starting lineup, Kanter etc. Look at the numbers since OKC's recent losing streak when Westbrook tried to do everything. They put Taj in the starting lineup and RW starting passing more. As for the Clippers, look at this from Redick! Brutal!!!
That recent losing streak had a lot to do with Oladipo's injury. He is the second best player for OKC. Without him their offense suffers a lot.
