I've watched the Thunder. What's your criteria of "soft"? The Thunder are "soft" inside. That they get bullshit calls on the perimeter is secondary to me. I'll take Howard/Aldridge/Camby inside and see what happens without the refs.
Phoenix's 2 remaining games are against Denver and Utah. If they can win both, they'll be either the 2 or 3, and Utah & Denver will have to face-off in the 4-5 matchup. That season-ending PHX/UTA game is going to be HUGE!
Their similar to the Colts in the NFL, they steamrolled through the early part of the regular season and locked up their conference, so the latter part of the year they played lackadaisical and rested key players. Once the playoffs start the Lakers are going to be the clear favorites in the west. We have a better chance of winning a playoff series against any other team. I do want to play the Lakers, but not until the WCF
