    Apparently Thon Maker has been working with KG, and he's definitely reminding me of him out there in this game. He is looking much improved.

    Him, Gia, and Monroe should be able to bully the Raptors.

    Longhorns in the playoffs. KD, Myles Turner, LA, PJ Tucker, Corey Joseph, Avery Bradley, TT, and if he makes the playoff roster, Isaiah Shaquille Taylor, which is an amazing name. 6 starters, and two All Stars. The rest playing meaningful minutes.

    If the Cavaliers don't vastly improve their defense they're gonna get run off the floor in the Finals regardless if it's the Spurs or Warriors. They've been playing terrible defense the entire 2nd half of the season.

    So..I know Kyle Lowry just came back from missing 21 games, but 4 points ain't gonna cut it. If he has another playoffs like last season he's gonna start to have a bad reputation for games when it counts.

    Marc Gasol is a monster when healthy. Spurs have no answer for him.

    lol, yes. it's actually sort of criminal that he's a lock to finish 3rd or lower in the MVP voting. 60-win team, nobody close to all star caliber on the squad, imo (aldridge is not the guy he was three years ago). but harden's getting top billing for winning fewer games with similar talent and a system tailor made to pad his stats.

    Because "Pop's system is so good". That's the argument I've heard.

    In other news, Gobert suffered a knee sprain 11 seconds into the series. A clipper collided into him.

    They're a solid team that's well coached. Really wished they had home court advantage against the Clippers though.

    This Jazz/Clippers game is really good. Go Jazz, man the Clippers going out in round 1 would be delicious.

    The reason the Clippers don't win, is because Blake Griffin is weak, and he vanishes in the 4th quarter, I mean absolutely disappears, crumbles. Paul had to bring them back by himself while Blake stood around scared. That's why I don't want that guy anywhere near our team, he's soft, he's a flopper, and a loser, he has Clipper stink all over him.
