    It would be almost as juicy when the Mavs were eliminated by the Warriors. That Warriors team ran a lot of small ball as well, although they did have Biedrins as their starter.

    Two words: Steve Clifford.

    Despite what the NBA thinks, defense can shut down the best offenses.
    The Grizzlies used to have a catchphrase that defense travels.
    Giannis likes to get up and down the court but Clifford is not going to let him do that.

    Bud is probably a pretty good coach too. He will adjust. But, watching this game 1 ( likely victory) is pretty sweet. Clifford also has no answer for the NBA if the refs have to step in.

    The NBA was on hiatus for months, and I'm trying to fill a quota; thanks.

    Refs keeping their nose clean after Mavs and Clippers media/fans backlash. Without interference, Orlando gets one. :D

    Rocket players were said to have given Brooklyn nets players tips against the Bucks in the bubble. Nets later won on 8/4.

    Wonder if some of that gotten to ORL's game plan too.

    And you used the opportunity of the hiatus to return to the status quo. Whatever happened to broadening your mind given the opportunity?

    (Again this is not a personal attack on you. I do like you. I'm just tired of people assuming the worst about our owner when he's clearly better than Leslie. The grass is not always greener. Being shrewd could actually benefit us someday soon. Taking the risk of Westbrook and Covington over Paul and Cap might actually benefit us someday very soon. He's not all bad. Tilman loves the Rockets remember.)

    They will probably still win but Orlando was a 30-1 underdog.
