    They got swept by Dallas because Dallas caught fire against us and held it throughout the playoffs. Fucking Dallas and their old asses...

    Memphis is the only team I'm most concerned with. They are just way physical and dirty up the game. That's tough because they are the best at playing that game. Teams that can beat them are ones that force Memphis to play fast paced. Our team isn't one that dictates the game like that

    I don't think home court matters in the playoffs. In the regular season, teams get up to play at home, and there's the travel issue.

    Home teams still have a better winning percentage in the playoffs, because the better teams play more home games by design.

    But the Warriors getting the Thunder in the 1st round....that is insane. When Durant comes back, the Thunder will probably be the best 8th seed team of all time. What a nice reward for having the nba's best record.

    Lol GS wins in 7 only to meet up with SA in the 2nd... What a reward for being the best team.

    62% from the FT line. Eww. Luckily these are fluke type games and we were hitting almost everything. Won't have many games like that.

    Loved the 3 guard line ups tonight. Both Blake and CJ add a lot just with their passing. Great ball movement. No lazy passes tonight.

    great point! I can really remember MAYBE one, but that's stretching it. It was a solid, solid effort for 48 minutes.

    Swing...swing...swing....SWING! Some of those passes are just devastating.

    That was just beautiful to watch. When they are moving the ball like that they almost as fun as Terry, Jerome and Clyde on the break.

    LA hit it on the head. When Nic plays like that and I noticed him talking to him the bench. They are an awfully good team. Nic was filling it up both defensively and offensively. He looks really good.

    True, the Blazers offense tends to go as their ball movement goes. When they stop moving the ball they struggle.

    I think that's why its soooooo important for Batum to always stay assertive! When you have a two headed distributing wing duo like Batum and Dame firing on all cylinders, we are impossible to beat.

    Nic is shooting 45% from 3 in March, and his season average is now over 30%
