The Poojer Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 i remember when i was in richmond, there is a southern syndicated morning radio show "John Boy & Billy", their female co-co host is steph curry's aunt and they used to talk about steph before he even went got to davidson, pretty cool to see him all growed up
Maury Ballstein Posted May 11, 2016 Author Posted May 11, 2016 They should just dismantle the east. Okc/Spurs. And GSW/Por doesn't even seem like the same sport the Hawks/Cavs/heat/raptors are playing. Hate to see Spurs or OKC get axed while the Lebrons play creampuffs
The Poojer Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Seemingly easy question, who would you rather have on your team. ...steph curry or kawhai leonard?
LB3 Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) Seemingly easy question, who would you rather have on your team. ...steph curry or kawhai leonard?That's tough. Both are amazing. Neither has ever played without a great team around them. I'd have to go with Curry over Leonard. I think Leonard is a more complete player, but Curry is such an outstanding scorer that you have to take him. They should just dismantle the east. Okc/Spurs. And GSW/Por doesn't even seem like the same sport the Hawks/Cavs/heat/raptors are playing. Hate to see Spurs or OKC get axed while the Lebrons play creampuffs The LeBrons have done their all they can do, sweeping both series. They're still one of the top 2 teams in the league. I'm hoping it's a rematch of last year. LeBron kept the LeBrons in it all by himself last year. It'll be a lot more even this year. Edited May 11, 2016 by LBSeeBallLBGetBall

Not at all. Don't get swept up I. The fact they have dominated scrubs like the Hawks and the Bucks (can't even remember the 1st round team) Okc > cle. Kanter and Adams stepping up Gsw, Spurs, Clippers as well. I put them at 4 or 5. Hope Whiteside isn't out for year so they get a free pass next round too

Hope Whiteside isn't out for year so they get a free pass next round too In no world are the Clippers on their level. OKC could maybe get a game or two on them. Spurs and GS are the only teams on their level. Any team with LeBron and even 1 other star (they have 2) is going to be a top team. I hope Whiteside or Valanciunas are back for the next series, whichever team makes it through. It was the Pistons they beat in round 1. Also, let's not act like the Warriors haven't had it easier than the Cavs. The Rockets were the worst team in the playoffs. The Hawks and the Trailblazers are about even, though I think the Hawks are better.
John from Riverside Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Hurry up already Golden State We need our coach!

LB3 Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Cleveland could do what okc is doing vs Spurs ? No sir. Healthy Clippers > cle imo. I absolutely think they could beat the Spurs.
The Poojer Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 I'm with you...Lebron, Love and Kyrie et al, are as strong as anyone I think...hell, I think Lebron alone is the difference maker, but don't take that to mean i don't feel the same way about SA, GS and yeah even OKC. I absolutely think they could beat the Spurs.

I hear ya, though I have thought OKC is a tier below those three. They could prove me wrong though shortly.
CommonCents Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 I hear ya, though I have thought OKC is a tier below those three. They could prove me wrong though shortly. OKC is good when Durant and Westbrook share the ball with the rest of their teammates. I think they could compete with GS if they didn't dribble the air out of the ball in most games. Cleveland is playing well right now but I think they are at best tied for 3rd in the power rankings with OKC. They have similar problems with falling in love with dribbling, Lebron has always been a great front runner lets see how big those smiles are when they are in a dogfight.

I'd put the Cavs at either 1 or 2. They have the best player in the game and some good pieces around him. The Warriors have the best shooter ever with even more pieces around him. Hell, Iggy was a 6th man last year and won Finals MVP. The LeBron fan in me wants to see Cavs-OKC in the Finals. The basketball fan wants to see Cavs-Warriors.

Okc is great when everyone gets involved.

I also want to see the Cavs at full strength vs. the Warriors, it should be a good finals.

dpberr Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 OKC is the most physical team in the playoffs and that matters. Should the Spurs fall, I wouldn't be surprised to see them beat GSW. They just beat you to death and GSW, like the Spurs, aren't used to getting bludgeoned like that. OKC changed their tactics after the Game 1 blowout to SA and it's been different ever since. I don't think Cleveland stands a chance against either SA, OKC or GSW. They have played creampuff teams in the playoffs and that provides this appearance of consistent 3 point shooting that against a real defense - isn't there. As a long time Spurs fan, while I expect this series to go to a brutal Game 7, I admit the Spurs got real old in this playoff round. Tim and Manu are completely done and Tony and David West really aren't all that far behind realistically. The last great hurrah.
John from Riverside Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Come on now...you all know Durant is gonna be a laker
