Western Conference Semifinals: (2) Oklahoma City vs. (3) LA Clippers

Best series of the '14 playoffs coming up

Clippers in 6

 

congrats clippy

 

My two most disliked teams in the West..ew

 

Going to be a great series but I think the Clippers are more of a complete team

 

This is going to be an AWESOME series. Man can't wait.

 

I couldn't care less about this series. Not a fan. But good luck Clippy,

 

Every time i count out OKC...they show up...Westbrook adds a dimension of PG speed that makes it hard to have success...That being said, OKC has the size and depth to be able to contain Blake from going crazy...I fully expect a close match, but in the end Durant will prove to be unstoppable

 

OKC goes from ZBo and Gasol to Griffin and Jordan? That's rough.
LAC goes from Curry and Thompson to Durant and Westbrook? That's rough.

Like another poster said - best series of '14, unless you include the finals.

 

Blake Griffin needs to impose his will this series. Ibaka is a great defender, but I think Blake can still own him.

 

I actually think OKC will win reasonably comfortably. Mainly because Chris Paul is hobbled.

 

Only if CP3 is hobbled will OKC win. I'll go with Clippers in 5 or 6.

This just isn't OKC's year. Something isn't right with them. On the other side, I picked the Clippers before the playoffs to rep the West. With Blake and Deandre going to another level and Redick drilling 3s, they are the best team. When it counts, their D will give OKC problems.

 

picked Thunder in 6 but that was probably dumb because you know the league office loves game 7's

 

Can't see why this is the best series. They are lucky to be here.Should be GSW vs Grizzlies.

 

This is a pick em...

I picked the Thunder because of Durant.

 

You mean Mr. Unreliable?

 

From the NBA's perspective, the best possible matchup in the Finals would be the Clippers vs the Nets. First they get the two largest markets. Secondly, they get to keep the 30 for 30 storyline going with the Clippers galvanizing to go on an unbelievable storybook run. Third, they get to talk about the Pierce/Garnett vs Doc Rivers storyline.

 

CP3, Griffin plus KD Westbrook is must watch tv in the 4th quarter. supporting cast is also a lot of fun and talented. warriors are a sham and extremely boring to watch shooting J's all day and hoping for the best.

 

It would wiser for OKC to guard Griffin with Perkins/Collison/Adam (body him up) with Ibaka coming with the help defense (weak-side block).

 

Whoever is guarding Deandre Jordan better be careful about leaving him to double Griffin. Blake is an extremely good passer and DeAndre can clean up the glass if nobody has a body on him.
