Looking forward to ATL-INDY. Could be very interesting. Indy's funk does not look to be lifting.
Spurs 4-1 over whoever they play. Prefer Mavs just because I like knocking Cuban out.

Was really tempted to pick Memphis in 6 or 7. Wouldn't shock me one bit if Grizzlies won.

Incredible game by Portland. I picked the Rockets to win, but man I do enjoy this Trailblazers team/franchise. They were getting jobbed by the refs all overtime and stuck with it. Aldridge and Lopez both fouled out (on iffy calls) and yet they still won in Houston.
Lillard and Aldridge are two of my favorite non-Cavs/non-Grizzlies players.

Just catching the Portland game now. Terribly reffed game. It was great to see Dwight choke.
I don't know who I hate more, Mavs fans or Rockets fans. So yesterday was a good day.

Finally got around to listening to the Zach Lowe podcast with RC Buford. RC Buford might be the worst interview in the history of interviewees. There's probably a correlation between poor interviews and smart GM acumen. He's basically the anti-Mike Lombardi/Matt Millen.

lol, yeah i bailed halfway through. But I was already prepared for it. He's on the radio about once a year down here and it's basically the same thing.

OKC just can't seem to make any traction.

I just about pooped my pants when Durant hit that 4 pointer. I cannot believe that the Grizzlies held on to win. That's why I really enjoy that team, along with the Blazers. Maybe I'm just so used to watching teams crumple and fold when anything goes slightly wrong. Great breakdown from Deadspin of the havoc that Tony Allen is causing in this series: deadspin.com/tony-allen-is-the-defensive-stopper-you-can-root-for-1566011994

Love the idea. I don't think it would happen, of course. The NBA playoffs are insanely long though, and they need to shore that up. I think it wouldn't be as much of a problem if teams didn't have so many days off. It should be an every-other-day thing for all teams.

Blazers take another one in Houston. Aldridge scores 43.
It was interesting when - rightfully so, and in a desperation move - Houston brought in Asik to play Asik and Dwight together. That's something they should have been at least experimenting all year.
I wonder if McHale keeps his job with a Round 1 exit.

He's a bad x and o coach. I hang out on Clutchfans, mostly because I hate Rockets fans and like to see their tears, but they've been on McHale for a few years, even after wins. He's in over his head as a coach.
The Asik thing, they bailed way too quickly on that experiment. That was the number one thing the fans complained about all year. In the offseason all the dumbass talking heads said you couldn't play those two together and for some reason the Houston organization listened.
As far as the Spurs, I'm in the minority, but I'm in favor of keeping the rotation the same in the playoffs as they had in the regular season. Last night was just brutal.
