Yea, Indiana/Memphis I wouldn't even bother. I guess the best case scenario is Miami v. San Antonio and would actually not be too bad.
That's the one everyone at the front office wants. I'd watch all of it. Miami v. Grizz? Maybe watchable. Pacers v. Spurs? I'd watch when it got to an elimination game. |

Miami is no sure thing anymore with Wade gimpy. These playoffs has really been impacted by injuries.

Over and out.

Exactly. Miami is good enough to be fun to watch, and polarizing enough that it grabs the lovers AND the haters. |

Grizz looked completely overwhelmed in game 1.

Yep. Zach Randolph finished with 2 pts and he is the Grizzlies leading scorer. The Spurs also hit a franchis record 14 3-pointers. The Grizzlies help defense is just leaving three shooters wide open over and over again. In the OKC series, they were getting burned by Derek Fisher. In this series, they will get burned by everyone unless they learn to stay at home on those shooters and let the big men handle the drives to the basket. |

Dwight Howard has to be the whiniest douchebag in the league in the past 10 years. According to sources with knowledge of the situation, part of the discussion between Howard and Kupchak centered around Howard's frustration with D'Antoni -- particularly how the center felt marginalized as the coach looked to Bryant and Steve Nash for leadership and suggestions and discounted Howard's voice. Maybe it's because Howard is a fucking idiot? If any team resigns his ass they deserve what they get.

He's the very definition of coach killer.
I'd love to see him and Josh Smith on the same team, just to watch the implosion.

You may get that wish.  Ferry is going to go after him hard. |

It's a rumor. Local media says that's extremely unlikely.
And there's no way Atlanta keeps Josh Smith.

It's pretty bad when you lead your team to a franchise record in wins and still get fired. Del Negro let go. |

Crashing and burning in the first round will get almost anyone fired. That's for sure.

Never mind that Blake Griffin was hurt and hadn't played up to his potential all year.

LA and logical basketball decisions parted ways when Phil Jackson left town. We can just add this to the list.

Glad to see that Charlotte is going back to the Hornets. I like that name for them. And I absolutely love the Pelicans new name and logo. It's great.  |

I stilll think the crawdads would be more apropo, but it does look neat.

I think the Crawdads would also be cool. Both Crawdads and Pelicans have some local/cultural meanings for the city and are unique. The other nice thing about them is that they are a tangible thing. The worst names ever are the vague sorts, like the Wild and the Predators. I'm also not a fan of names that just don't fit, like the Raptors. Seriously? Raptors?

If Utah would just give the Jazz name back to NOLA, we'd be set.
Then they could rename themselves the Utah Bland.

I'm not a big fan of the Jazz as a name for New Orleans, either. It's one of those vague names that it's tough to place a face on. I much prefer a tangible object, such as an animal or type of American Indian.

So cleveland gets the first pick again, that team might get scary adding Nerlen Noels. As a magic fan I'm happy with the second pick, and hope we suck again next year.

This is a hilariously shitty draft class, so it really doesn't matter.

Not really. They've been winning on smoke and mirrors. Let's say they do get to the finals- I think Lebron and Co. will sweep them.

I picked Miami to win at the beginning of the season, but you throwing the Spurs under the bus in every series has given me the chuckles.  WHERE'S THE LOVE MAN! |
