    Well I don't know where he can go that would be better. They have talent but need a better system. Not a bad position to be in. Ad if the front office does their job, they should be able to upgrade by trading Bledsoe for a needed position like SF or C. Vinny Del Numbskull doesn't even play Bled anyway.

    so Memphis-Spurs WCF. Who ya got?

    I feel Memphis is the dark horse contender here. That defense is incredible.

    I have no answer at all. Bled was also amazing against the Grizz last year. He barely played in the regular season too. My theory then was that Vinny was just saving him as an ace in the hole but apparently not. Bled is like the Clippers 3rd best player by all advanced metrics and is lucky to get 15min a game.

    As good as Duncan is, it'll be hard for him to go against both Randolph and Gasol on a nightly basis.

    I think coaching will have the greatest impact in the match-up.

    LeBron is the best player in the NBA by far and Howard is the best big in the league who had a team catered to his strengths. There's no PG you could put on the Clippers under Vinny who would have led the to more wins or a deeper run.

    He really does. I knew that though when he was seriously comparing Harden or Michael Jordan.

    Del Negro's termination has been long overdue.

    We know based on Memphis' playoff run two years ago that they match up well against both the Spurs and Thunder. I had picked the Clippers to win this series, but if Memphis gets out of the first round I think they have a good shot of getting to the Finals.

    Atlanta with Howard is better and so are the Rockets.

    Wouldn't count out Clips yet. Even in Memphis they still have CP3.

    Tayshaun sealed that win, unreal 3.

    I was worried when Hollins took Zach out because he felt he had to match up small-wise, and if it weren't for Tay's miracle 3, we might have lost.

    Lol of course who else would you pick? Classic LOF. Maybe you should actually learn English before you post?

    If they let CP3 get his, and disrupt passing lanes / shut other Clips down, Memphis will win again.

    And Blake Griffin might not play for game 6. (Not like he was effective today anyway.)
