I thought that line drive 3 would've turned the tide but damn that was an anemic OT.

That's pretty much completely wrong. Harden is one of the most efficient scorers in the league, he's the complete opposite of a chucker or extreme volume guy. He averaged 17 points on just 10 shots last year, 26 points on just 17 shots this year. Here is the list of guys who've scored as efficiently while having as high of a usage rate as he did this year. Even if you take just the last 2 months, his TS% is still over 60, right in line with his average for the season. And Allen mentioned this a few days ago, getting to the line as often as he does is a skill. That's by design.

If anybody can keep up with Nuggets it's the Warriors. Oracle is going to be rocking like it was in 2007

This is about to be fun in the West... East not so much....

If you're trying to keep up with Denver, you've already lost

Can't ask for better first round match ups in the west...
I'm happy we got the OKC/Houston match up. Its only right they have to see Harden before the rest of their title quest. OKC is probably gonna wash the Rockets in 5 but you can count on Harden having one 50+ point game and a couple near 40s.
Clippers vs Grizz is gonna be an absolute war. Gonna be a lot of techs and **** talking in the series, you know Zbo and Griffin will butt heads. CP3 vs Tony Allen will be an amazing chess match to watch unfold. For some reason I got the Grizz in 7 in this one getting revenge for last year.
As for the Lakers I think anyone picking them is crazy man. I just don't see it at all unless both ginobli and parker ain't playing. Spurs will execute them to death and Popovich is gonna run circles around D'antoni. Spurs in 5
Now for my Warriors. I think it's gonna come down to how effective Lee can be inside and which Klay Thompson shows up. I don't know if we can steal one in Denver but if we do best believe they ain't winning in Oracle. Time to show out Curry...

Spurs fan, I know y'all won't admit it. Especially DBD, but y'all are shaking in your boots rights right now. Esp with the way they've been playing lately, I have no idea what's going on with the Spurs.

the lakers were pretty decent for their last 40 games. 28 wins 12 losses is that correct?

This might be true but they did end up looking stupid.
Purposely losing to not face the lakers only to actually have to face the lakers
I guess they figure its alright now because kobe and nash not there

They weren't doing that to avoid the Lakers.
They are old, they are trying to rest

Nuggets are a tough team with a good coach. They've played phenomenal this year and I don't expect them to stop now.
Even with Gallo and Faried (temporarily) out, I see them giving us trouble. However, I do think that we can match up well for all positions (even when Bogut plays).

What do I mean? Have you not watched them play? They've been playing horrible and Tony Parker does not look healthy. I'd be worried.
Spurs have not been tanking games since March. We'll see, I mean I'll still pick them but they've def looked weak as of late.

Yes I watch them all the time
The last game it looked like they were really trying to win was March 29th vs the Clippers maybe the Grizzles a few days later, that game that was the 2nd night of a back to back.
All those other games somebody was resting
If Tony Parker and Diaw arent right that's huge certain but you cant get to worried about them losing when they playing guys like Joesph, Baynes and Nando de Colo

I know everybody is already chalking that Heat-Bucks series up as a sweep, but I won't be entirely suprised if the Bucks give them some tough battles and win a game or two in that series. I think the Bucks will be much better in a 7 game series than what they were during this regular season. They kind of remind me of last year's Pacers team in the sense of them being a deep, scrappy defensive team. Larry Sanders has really came on and become a force this year for them, and Jennings and Monta have been playing great basketball. They've got a ton of physical, defensive-minded big men that they can use to send a message to LeBron and Wade too.
