agreed...

Blake Griffin is their x -factor and boris diaw will make him look like a fool.
If fatboy Diaw holds Blake in check for a series, then the Clippers don't deserve to win.

You're not watching. Diaw is in pretty good shape for coming off the bench late. You've seen Horry...

Blake isn't used to guarding versatility like that. Few are.

I've seen the Spurs plenty this season...Diaw doesn't have a basketball framed body anymore. He hasn't had that in a long time, his body and Blake's are two different types.

i could never root for the warriors. the nocal/socal rivalry runs deep with me. i hate all things northern cal when it comes to sports.

so hoping for anyone other than the celtics, spurs, bulls, warriors, rockets.

Oh definitely on the body type thing, and that Diaw will wear down faster no question, but he's still got a bit of the spry in him, and he's rested and looks like he's been taking care of himself. His type of quicks aren't explosion, they're deception.

Seriously man, Horry style game. Also Randle's, ultimately.

Looks like the Clips are the favorite. Feels weird.

Don't see them beating GS AND Cleveland if all goes right.
