    Wow, Pacers destroy the Nuggets. Seems nobody wants the #1 seed in the West. Apparently Nugs and Warriors are afraid they might match up with the Blazers in the next round.

    Wow...the celts need to re-engineer a few things, so their deemed already (by some in here) best coach in the assoc. doesn't have it so hard.

    Who on earth would want to coach Lebron in this Lakers environment? Seems like Kidd does. He will be a disaster. No chance he will be viewed as better than Walton

    To some extent this is Stevens’ fault. However, from what I’ve seen, there are too many quality players requiring minutes. Rozier, Brown and Hayward are all on the bench when they’ve each played a bigger role in the last two seasons due to injuries. Ainge needs to do a consolidation trade in the worst way which is why the rumours of trading for Davis make so much sense.

    If the Blazers get bounced in the first round, I would definitely consider a McCollum & (name your $10M player) for Jaylen Brown & Gordon Hayward. Personally, I think that helps both teams.

    Prime KD, Steph, Klay, Draymond, Cousins >>>> Aging Kobe. Gasol, Odom, and prince Bynum.

    Canyon believe I have to point that put. The 2011 Lakers dont caonpare to them at all.

    You say this type of stuff every year and then they win. This time is no different.

    Thatd be an entertaining team, but Reddish wont fall that far.

    Paul George's 3pt shot has come crashing back to earth after the all star break. He was shooting 44% on 9 attempts a game in Jan. Down to 33% on 10 attempts after the break. Direct correlation with their record in that same period. He's hurt apparently -- wonder if they're really that bad of a matchup for us in the first round?

    Everyone is aging. KD is 30. Kobe was 32. Both teams were coming off back to back championships. Lakers had the greatest coach ever and he had threepeated three times before. Also you forget to mention Derek Fisher. Everyone considered the 2011 Lakers favorites to win championship even though they were playing badly at end of season. People said they were bored and would flip the switch. They absolutely compare to Warriors.
