Well the Blazers 1st round exit from the playoffs doesn't look so bad now. Dallas is going to get their ass kicked by Miami though.
I'm calling the opposite. I think DAL starts on the road against either team, right? If so, I say Miami in 6.
Blazers beat Dallas 2 times Lakers and OKC combine to beat Dallas.....1 time Hell, Roy himself beat Dallas as many times as the Lakers and Thunder did combined
No, he's been terrible in the playoffs, considering his usage rate. He'll end up with a sub-20 PER and ~ a 35% usage rate while shooting under 38% and under 30% from 3pt.. Simply terrible out of your 2nd-team All-NBA point guard. Plus, going into tonight, he had a playoff Ortg of 102 compared to a Drtg of 109. That will probably drop a bit as well. A brutal playoffs for Westbrook, really.
Like a 19.2 PER is bad, really.... He didn't have a great playoffs, but they don't make the WCF without him, period.
Like I said after Game 4, Dirk is on a mission this year. He isn't showing any emotion at all after this awesome series. He has one goal: the real trophy. Gotta admire that, and I think he'll do his best in the finals, but I don't think they'll win it.
Don't underestimate the revenge factor for the Mavs when they face the Heat They feel they were robbed of that championship
His stats aren't THAT bad, and his speed on both ends of the court in the first two series were a big help to OKC's efforts. I would agree he wasn't great this series and certainly didn't play up to the awards he has been given.
Well, I have Miami in a pool this year, so me. And I don't have the vitriol for Bron that everyone else does. Plus, Wade is one of my favorite players in the league.
According to refcalls.com game 1 was a perfectly fine called game. Stopped really going to the site after the said that and didn't bother putting up a video of the game.
Wow OKC really choked away some games. I guess they need a closer. If you didn't know better one would think Durant was their 3rd best player. He lost the game for them in the 3rd when he was absolutely horrible. Hardin played great. Not sure what to say about Westbrook.......very good player, but does not make his teammates better. Ibaka never showed up and Perkins does not seem to fit in with them. (He is too slow to keep up) Collison played well though.
I am. The way I see it, if LeBron wins more rings than Kobe, it would piss off L*ker fans to no end, and that would please me. Hell, if he gets more finals MVPs that may be enough ammo.
