    lol whoops, looks like I missed that one. Thanks.

    Personally, I'd rather face anyone but Pop/Duncan/etc...

    Spurs are a better matchup. CP3 would run circles around our PGs. I'd much rather face Tony Parker. Yes Kawhi can d-up Harden, but I think Dwight could dominate. In any case I'm rooting for LA tonight so that it can go 7 games. The Spurs are not going to lose Game 6 at home either way.

    If their is a game 7, what time will it be on Saturday? It would be in LA and these west coast games always start late here. I'm just hoping it doesn't overlap with the Pac/Mayweather fight.

    I'm guessing 2:30. I believe ABC has two timeslots that day at 12 and 2:30 so they'd definitely pick it up for the 2:30 slot.

    Do you guys really want to face CP3? LOL. Man I can't imagine the moves he would put on Terry and Prigs.

    Ariza would guard CP3, Terry or Prigioni would guard Redick and Harden on Barnes.

    If CP3 is going off wouldnt we just throw Ariza on him? Remember Ariza shutting him down at the end of that game @ Staples

    Tony Parker, Patty Mills are not easy match for them neither

    I don't think that will work all game. In stretches yes I think that could work, but it creates mismatches elsewhere and makes switches interesting to say the least. Rebounding becomes an issue as well having Ariza guarding PGs. Honestly, Terry is a mismatch guarding anyone, and Redick is a deadly shooter.

    You could go also go Ariza/Harden/Brewer at times too, which is preferable honestly.

    minimum of double OT would be nice.

    I'd take my chances against a declining Parker and Patty Mills. If Dwight is allowed to play by the refs and Josh is good Josh for most of the series, then I see mismatches everywhere for the Rockets.

    I think I'd rather face the Clippers simply because Blake Griffin is obsessed with long 2's that he's not efficient at.

    Good point. I still can't believe Portland beat us with Aldridge hoisting up a bunch of "almost 3s" last year.

    We will be playing the Spurs. It's inevitable.
