    Another person who types before they think. My Blazers can play however they want as long as they win 54 games a season compared to whatever PHX won.

    It looks like he was going for the ball, and got it. But it was a dumb play because even if he struck the ball more squarely, where did he think his arm was going to follow through? Was he just not thinking about the risk? If so that's also a problem.

    He went for the ball but he put a lot of emphasis on it which results in the hit to to the face. I think the T was half in result to the way he tried for the block and the resulting hit as well as for the little outburst afterwords.

    OKC pulls out the win 112-111. Kind of crazy in that they played their full roster,and needed to win the game, but still struggled.

    East matchups set

    Indy/Atl

    Everything set in West but 7th and 8th seed, in OT right now. Clippers will play Warriors in first round.

    I doubt San Antonio wants to play Memphis in the first round, and Dallas just bailed them out.

    San Antonio swept Grizz in playoffs and swept Grizz in regular season. Why would the Spurs be worried?

    MEM is a much better team than DAL. I think anyone - even the Spurs - would much rather play DAL than MEM.
    Did the Spurs play MEM when they were at full strength this season?
    Doesn't really matter - I have the Spurs as the favorite in the West, I just think the first round got A LOT easier for them. MEM is one of the few teams that could give them a scare.

    Gasol played 2 games against the Spurs. Their worst loss was late this season, though, when both teams were at full strength. Dallas just doesn't scare me at all. Memphis seems to elevate their game in the playoffs...
