    Portland is in that honeymoon phase that all young teams experience when they break out for the first time. Young, exciting, and surprisingly competitive against a contender in the Playoffs. Rockets at one point were like that too, in 2012/13 vs. OKC in the 1st round.

    Yeah...that don't matter. Bogut is just mostly a goon at this point in his career.

    This was much more entertaining than watching the Clippers get smashed in transition for 4 games...

    They have something special going, but you got to create something else special to override that through hiring he right coach.

    **** the Warriors! The only reason they're good is because refs let them get away with bs. I wish Howard was allowed to bear hug Hardens defender. Harden would score 100 if the Rockets were officiated like the Warriors!:rolleyes:

    Lol, got to play dirty against these screens if do your due diligence in explaining it to the referee and they still do not call it on the court.

    Why do reporters continue to ask the 'who would you rather play' question? Has a player ever given a non-PC answer (unless there was was an obv answer i.e. they could get home court vs one team but not the other)?

    Eh, they need a really big signing. CJ and Dame are good players, but they are not elite players. They could really use Horford but I have a feeling that Dwight will be that guy. He's going to get a max from Charlotte, Portland, or Dallas and Portland for him will look closer to the title.

    When I see teams in the west they have elite top 10 players. Those two guys aren't that, they are a nice young team but I agree with Kenny. Their ceiling is that 2nd round.

    lol people looking for anything to start trouble. Dell top left, Seth top right, Steph's best friend next to Seth in white hat, Ayesha's brother directly in front of Dell with white hat.

    Real question is: who is the white dude who can wrap his arm around wife of someone standing right behind him. He must be part of the fam or something.

    Apparently, it's Jason Richards, another one of Steph's teammates at Davidson. For some reason, I don't think this is a Delonte West-Gloria James situation ;)
