I can totally see the Spurs beating Portland. Imagine downgrading from Kawhi to DeRozan yet still managing to make the WCF. Popovich is a mastermind. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
Jokic was barely on my radar as I didn't pay attention to the Nuggets. Watching him in this series is an eye opener for me. Before his career is over, he will be an MVP in this league (if he can remain healthy). There is absolutely nothing he can't do on offense. He can score face up and with his back to the basket from anywhere on the court. He can score from behind the arc flat-footed and his handle is impeccable.

Nuggets 54-28, Spurs 48-34. Records say Nuggets are supposed to win. Then there's Gregg Popovich. I think the Spurs are going to win this series. Aldridge is starting to play like himself. I don't think he's 100% but he's starting to contribute. If Belinelli hits his 3's he's going to open up the low post and pick and rolls. DeRozan is the key to the car. 25 pts, 7 ast, 7 reb lasst game. Patty Mills is a sleeper. Rudy Gay 28 min, 19 pts. Much like Belichick it's Pops system. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

A+ for effort & coaching. Same thing with the Spurs.
I didn't think Rivers was the coach he's proving himself to be. It was supposed to be a Dubs sweep. Didn't happen. I think they surprised the Warriors. Looking forward to tonight's game.
DAMN!! Did I just say that about a Clippers game. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Losing to them and the Nets when we were trying to make a push for the playoffs doesn't look as bad, considering how competitive they've been in the post season.

On paper, they look like the team. They were dominant this year. But I don't trust their talent level. Middleton is their 2nd best player? Bledsoe? That just feels weak for a title team.
I tend to agree with you, but I don't see who the Warriors can throw at Giannis.
Yup this guy is a walking mismatch. We have this generations shaq. Shaq used his power and length to dominate players while Giannis uses his speed and length. He is a jumper away from being the most unstoppable force in this era of bball

Durant?
Nah. You don't want to overextend KD. The Greek Freak would have him in foul trouble early. Start with Bogut and a double team in the low post. Give him a dose of Looney and Green. Try to keep him out the paint, make him a 3 point shooter. Make him work on the offensive end. Good Luck!!! _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Giannis is like a taller, leaner version of Lebron. If/when he develops a good outside shot he'll probably become the greatest player of the 2020s, although I think Embiid also has a great shot of becoming that. _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers
