    Ibaka did not get the Thunder this far. They will get by on all the questionable calls from the NBA in their favor.

    Ibaka is one of the best defensive players in the nba. To say he hasn't been important is an ignorant display of disrespect.

    He is great a defense player. But he had nothing to do with the Thunder's 4 point plats in the first round. And he had nothing to do with back to back games that had the Thunder in favor on the calls.
    There is a reason he leads the league in blocks multiple years and not get DPOY.

    Stop drinking the Kool-Aid.

    I'm not saying there weren't questionable calls. I'm just saying that SlyPokerDog is a total asshat if you think losing your best defensive player, and defensive anchor isn't a huge blow.

    Stop drinking gasoline

    lol @ national media... lets not make it obvious that the NBA is going to have the East win the title.

    The tagline for the ECF? "A champion will rise"... *sigh*

    A champion WILL rise. What's the issue? One of them will win the Eastern Conference Cahampionship

    I never pegged you to be one of the "everyone gets a trophy" crowd.

    Nothing wrong with that. Actually I'm going to start calling the Blazers a first round champion!

    Too bad most of the players already left town, we could have held a first round championship parade!

    So then, a champion will rise in the west? Or is that not what they are saying. See how that works?

    Kevin Love Trade Rumors: Latest Buzz and Speculation Surrounding Timberwolves PF | Bleacher Report (via http://ble.ac/teamstream-) http://teamstre.am/1jW75wB

    "For the first time, [Saunders] sounds like looking at deals for [Love] is an option," an NBA executive told Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski.

    Wojnarowski notes that the Lakers, Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns are chief among the teams pushing for a Love trade. Boston, Los Angeles and Phoenix each have lottery picks in the 2014 draft. Golden State traded its pick to Utah but has young players like Harrison Barnes or Klay Thompson that could be enticing.

    SA should have beat them last year, if it is a repeat matchup I pick SA unless Parker is hampered by hamstring

    Pacers are a bunch walking around like they are suffering from small mans syndrome. They are a broken bunch. I think it's going to be difficult for them to win this series.

    So I guess ill start taking apologies tomorrow from all the people who mercilessly mocked me, called me stupid, said I was not a true fan, etc for saying Portland was not a true contender this year and Indiana was.

    Just cause some refuse to see reality, doesn't make another poster a troll
