I'd rather watch "50 shades of grey". Not a fan of them at all.

If speights could rebound zbo wouldn't have scored that possession, but he got so stunned by the awesome triple block that he just stood there and watched in admiration, wishing he could do that.

speights can splash though. thats cool.


You obviously didn't watch the game did you? Green can play zbo decent, but Zbo still gets his numbers and draymond expends a LOT of energy guarding him. I don't think Green is one of zbo's tougher defenders in the NBA. Zbo struggles against bigger guys not smalller ones.

nope, watched the entire game.

and LOL at you if you think energy makes a difference to draymond. draymond is one of those guys that never seems to get tired. even steph gets tired, sometimes. draymond? nope.

Draymond played 36 minutes in that game and shot 2/11. Coincidence? I don't think so.

They only played zbo 26 minutes and got the best out of him. 17 pts (8/12) and 10 boards.

Your homerism is OTT.

you're probably only person in the world who thinks that Draymond "owns his ass".

just go to the memphis board like you so obviously want to and stop bashing our players. so draymond doesnt shoot well all the time. his value is on defence.

i'm just going to blacklist you. if i wanted to argue against other teams' fans i would go to the general board.

interesting... my only two foe-listed people are you and ab12. what a strange coincidence... :lol: :lol: :lol:

He's not bashing Draymond...he's merely saying Draymond doesn't own him, like you stated...I agree with him.

Draymond does not own Zach Randolph and it could be argued the other way. But lets not.

Memphis may end up #3 or #4 seed.

We're now pretty much a lock to get the #1 seed.

Seriously, I understand why watching Westbrook play is somewhat mesmerizing and why people fell in love with his energy - I like watching him as well. Anyway, I'm glad it's not my team because I would be furious looking at all the untapped potential on offense. So many great players - even without Durant this team has several capable players on offense - and what do they do? It's Westbrook dribbling the ball who either shoots without making a single pass or drives to the rim and kicks out. Even with Durant it's like they figure out whose turn it is to shoot the ball each time they get on offense, give the ball to the chosen player and get out of his way.

OKC can beat us based to talent alone in the playoffs but I'm not scared as long as they're playing this kind of basketball. I trust our defense to contain them to a certain extent - except when Durant is on fire probably, no one other than himself can stop him when he's rolling -, I don't fear no-ballmovement / no-playermovement teams with perimeter players who love to go one-on-one unless their name rhymes with LeTron. We have good wing-defenders and rim-protection, that certainly helps.

Dallas losing to POR could drop to 22 L's with the Clips. If the Spurs climb up to 5 and OKC stays 8th that would be about as brutal as a potential path to the WCF can get.

I really don't want to play the Spurs I don't care how old they are.

didn't see the game or box score, but Gobert is for real. Kid is amazing. Plus Hayward great while Burke is still a work in progress...Exum is a miss. Even in his rookie season, dude looks lost with no real skill.

YIKES. Wesley Matthews out for the season with torn achilles. He's a RFA this season and don't think it will hurt him, but wish him he best. Blazers still have Afflalo.

Blazers = done. Aldridge already plays injured and now Matthews is out for the season. Don't see them getting further than 2nd round.

I wish Dallas woud've traded for Rondo earlier so we could play them in the first round

Dallas is only 6 wins ahead of OKC and NO. I think Dallas at least will fall to 8th and that'd be great because they are a mess of sorts right now. We'd sweep them easily. Portland look like they will fall back at least two spots and likely will be out in the 1st round. Be great if they get 4th seed, make it to the 2nd round against us because they'd be relatively easy.

Dallas are sliding but okc are losing games as well..if they had won the close games they likely would of been close to their record. Durant injury is hurting them bad

All these teams that were "supposed" to fall - for them to fall, another team has to go on a sustained run. So far, no one has.

DAL, LAC, OKC, PHX - they aren't changing positions because they haven't put together the wins.

Even with Matthews out, I don't see Portland losing enough and another team winning enough to change too many spots. They might tip a spot or two.

Clippers sign Nate Robinson.

If he is their backup PG and we face them in a playoff series Livingston would destroy him on the block lol
