    Obviously any team in the West would be difficult...

    But I'd like our chances against Dallas, San Antonio, Portland, and potentially LAC.

    LAC has had our number lately, but they have easily the worst bench in amongst West playoff teams. I think our bench would consistently feast on them, but Harden would have to play well, something he hasn't done against them much.

    Gun to my head I probably choose us to lose to everyone except maybe Dallas. Hope I'm wrong, but that's just the way I've been conditioned the last 3 decades.

    Brown got low, but he kept backing up like he was in a Juvenile video. All Harden had to do was just stand there. Rookie mistake. Probably got instructed to pin Harden down. Sometimes tunnel vision makes you overlook the obvious.

    Yall see the Markel Brown interview? I gotta say that kid was refreshing to listen to and how sincere and honest you could be in that situation. "I did the best I could do, thats James Harden"

    Jones continues thriving like skilled 3rd year players do before they turn into stars ;)

    Same thing we said last year about Blazers. Playoffs is totally different story.

    He missed too many games in my opinion to be in the MVP race to win. He will get some votes, but I don't see him winning. If they are using the argument that Curry has a team with a better record when they talk about Harden, then what do they have to say about Westbrook?

    Phew. We escaped.

    Defensively we weren't there but turned it on at the end.

    Terrence Jones hell of a game. Boy I'm glad to have him back.

    Me too. It's good to have multiple guys who can impact a game. I really wish we had one more perimeter guy. I really like our collection of bigs.

    It's a collective group of guys that could be that currently on the team. I did not once see Pap or KJ on the floor. Between now and the post season they could easily be that extra perimeter threat. We've seen Pap be a big part of the earlier wins without Dwight maybe he can some get back to that. Prigioni is a pleasant surprise as well.

    This. Thank you for reminding us of the Phil Jackson 40-20 rule. A true championship contender wins 40 before losing 20. Whatchyou got on that, Barkley!?

    The dude was starstruck. Kind of weird considering he's an NBA player.

    "He's the best! He's the best!" Love how passionate Bill still is about the game. Wish that Jim & Gene were calling games, though. Nothing against the current radio guy, it would just be fun to hear their reactions to to what's happened this season.
