i maintain there bench will catch them eventually the spurs team they faced is not what they where timmy was superhuman but parker and ginobli are not the same and in this round the rockets are also top heavy but there first team is just not as good as the clips. golden state in the next round (if they beat the grizzlies) would be a completely different animal altogether
You say that, but Golden State aren't the Dubs we've come to know. It's easy to go with the 'Memphis are a good matchup for them' argument, but that wasn't the case when GSW OWNED them in the regular season. Golden State have been my playoff team for 3-4 years now (joys of being a Magic fan is you get to pick a playoff team
) but the facts are the facts...maybe they peaked too early. Look at what Miami and San Antonio mastered in the past few years: they peaked at the right time. Steve Kerr is a great coach but maybe his regular season success could cost him now. And that'd be a horrible shame, they potentially have an all-timer team, if they got their ducks in a row at the right time you could easily see them going fo' fo' fo', but look at how lifeless they looked from the 2nd quarter against the Griz the other night. They could be done. I'd love a GSW/Clippers Conference Finals series, but right now you'd have a quality team on the way up versus a quality team on the way down. That matters a lot in the playoffs. 0 -

thats one way of looking at it but at the same time you have to realise that come playoff time defences get tighter and you have to adjust more how many all time great teams have walked through the regular season and then had multiple close series in the playoffs.0 -

great and pretty funny ending, nene should be owning that rebound, pretty much no excuse for letting horford basically snatch it out of his hands.
Witmann had been near flawless tactics wise during the Playoffs over the last two years despite during the regular season looking like he couldn't coach a pick-up team, but between Nene and himself, that's on them. It was his 'Pop Game 6 vs Miami again with taking out an in-form Duncan moment' with Gortat being left on the bench for that final possession. In saying that, no excusing Nene. I hope the Wizards take it to 7, they don't deserve to go out in such fashion with Wall's injury and missing 3 games as a result being the talking point. Up 9 with 6 minutes left will hurt, and the Wizards were pretty faultless for most of the night. Wall was spectacular. Horford didn't deserve to lose though, put everything he had into the game last night.
Apparently Truth yelled out at the Hawks bench, "series" after his shot
Pretty crazy night for sport in Washington.0 -

hahaha if he did, especially after almost losing the game for the wiz right before that, if he did it makes that ending even better, just hilarious stuff all round.0
