Ample? my friend I think you are confused, If parsons could've fouled him I am pretty sure he would have tried to contest the shot at least, too much distant to even contest it let alone foul, you have to be a moron to foul 25 feet out with .9 secs left, easy 3 FTs.

What are the odds that Lance Stephenson is one of Shawn Kemp's kids?

re: the Houston game

Harden called Parsons and Beverly to switch pre-play. Beverly was on Lillard, moved to Mo Williams. Harden assumed that POR would run a mechanical screen play to end a playoff game. Mo realized that, went deeper towards the sidelines than he would have, and let Wes Mathews set a screen that essentially walled off Beverly from switching onto Lillard, which you have to think Parsons kinda expected to happen.

or in other words, Terry Stotts FTMFW

OKC v Clips. Interesting to see how any injury issues arise, but think the Thunder will beat them in five or six, just too much from Durant and Westbrook, as well as Ibaka being able to slow Griffin.

Roy Hibbert is garbage. He should never ever be an all star again.

Ummmm...Paul just played like he was finally able to get away from defenders! I guess Warriors defense should get some credit for shutting down Paul for most of the series. Paul comes out...plays Thunder and completely goes nuts.

I thought Thunder would dominate this series but it's all about matchups.

Finally....Warriors lost to the finalist last year..>I wonder if they did so again this year? Better get a fricken top seed next year dammit.

Anyone wanting Hibbert for Bogut is not sane. He is so big and yet does nothing. Just strange.

People forget that the team had the Spurs in most games in that series as well, therefore were up to the standard of the almost champions. Could be the same this season as well, we will see.

The team presents matchup problems for all teams with the outside shooting as well as great defense.

Thinking about salaries of teams lately and looked at the Utah Jazz and they only have 16.3 million committed for next season. They will have Burke, Burks, Hayward, Favors and Kanter as a young core under contract and still with all that money to spend. They certainly don't look like a desired destination for a superstar right now but depending on the development of Burke, Favors and Kanter, they could have potential as soon as two years, not that I think they do, but a couple of allstar caliber players could sign there looking to get paid and Utah could be good all of a sudden.

Philly is in a similar situation but doesn't have the core players there yet.

Some pretty good players could be getting paid well for filling a position.

I think Utah is a PRIME location option for David Lee. Not to bring race into this but Utah has a history of loving white players.....WHATEVER the reason.

That aside....Utah has NO CHANCE to land free agents....none...period. So they will have to take on salary for talent trades. Since we just made a big trade to assist them with their current salary situation, I see them taking on Lee's salary, nabbing a top level PF.

Warriors can then take that money and move it to Love, for example.

BW32 · Post #176 » by **BW32** » Mon May 12, 2014 11:23 pm

They literally just signed Favors to a fairly large extension. And what top level PF are they getting I tought they ended up with Lee.

Lee is an asset in a trade and should be used that way instead of being dumped to save money.

Refs not falling for Paul's BS tonight. He choked that game away three times in the last 18 seconds. Wish Curry had gotten the call at the end of game 3 that Westbrook got tonight.
