    On espn news he shit all over us saying the lakers want us more then ever and that roy being out solidifies us as the 8 seed.

    Loves the thunders chances to advance. Also says he hears roy is really banged up and this finishes him... however the knee isnt that bad from what hes hearing.

    If I were in the West I would want to play Portland too out of the possible options. However, I still think we will be a tough out. The West is just damn tough. I think the Thunder will have problems. They are too young and are not ready for playoff basketball.

    Maybe.

    They also might just be tougher than everyone expects. And maybe thats why they keep winning.

    Portland has won 16 of their last 21 or 76% of their games since Camby integrated. Isn't the stretch run when teams are generally grinding and trying their best?

    Yeah sure, easy out Rick :rolleyes2:

    Clearly we will get out in the first round because one NBA "expert" has decided that we will. It has already been decided.

    He was on Bill Simmons playoff preview podcast last year and was asked who he thought was most likely to meet the Lakers in the Western Conf. playoffs.

    He said Portland.

    Never mind that we were in the Lakers side of the bracket and that would be impossible.

    He also said Houston was a great match up for us. Never mind the terror that hit this board when we realized we were getting Houston as we probably matched up worse to them than anyone last year.

    The guy is a fuckwit just like the rest of us except Sir-Mixim-a-lot who is a double wide fuck wit.
