Yeah, the 4/5 match ups on both sides are close. Boston is probably in a little more trouble than Memphis right now.

The Nuggets are fun to watch. They push the pace every possession. Brutal ending to the 1st and 2nd quarters for the them. Hopefully they can pull it out on the road.

I never realized how good San Antonio is. If I had to redo my picks I'd take them to win it all.

Oh yeah, Heat are in trouble too. If they find a way to get by Indiana they're going to have a tough time vs. the C's.

This current Heat team doesn't have much a shot if they meet the Spurs. I think the Spurs are still a big favorite if Bosh is healthy. Pop showing why he's one of the best coaches in NBA history.

I still think the thunder win....I know they will win the next 2 at home......and it will go 7....which will give the heat a good rest....Pop is the king....but he would still have to bow to Jackson

The finals start June 12 no matter if the WCF go 4 games or 7 so the Heat don't get any extra rest.

The East reminds me of back when the Nets were in finals and everyone knew they had no shot. Heat have close to no shot vs the Spurs and only slightly better against the Thunder. Spurs still a favorite in the West with 2 of 3 in SA.

Anything can be made a stat if ESPN wants to do some research.

And it may not be a stat, but its a huge part of winning. I'll give you a statement that Skip Bayless made and I have yet to see anything disagree with it, "LeBron James is the mentally weakest supersetar in NBA history"

I'll give you another Statement from "winner-within" Lebron James hasn't had a coach worth the sweat on his face since he entered the NBA"............His Mind isn't weak!.......its undeveloped for the seriousness of the Game.

There is a reality to whats going on
Pop? best current coach in the NBA (also top 5 of all time)
Doc? top 5 current
Brooks? top 5 current
Spoltra?? lost in Flippin space

I agree that Brooks isn't that good of a coach. They don't really have an offense. They just rely on their emtremely talented players making plays in isolation and knocking down tough shots.

Don't blame his coaches for him disappearing late in games. Most superstars get better in crunch time but LeBron gets significantly worse.

The thunders Coach just made NBA history......he beat, according to the Flipster "the best NBA Coach of all time" 4 games in a row....even the award winning Barkley.....hahahaha! said the spurs would win.

I give Brooks all the credit (for the 4 game win streak) because Westbrook tried to lose it for them on Monday night and Brooks said, "SHARE THE BALL"............could have spoltra thought of that???????.. :? Nope!

Oh Yea!.......the Fish looks way better in White... :wink:
