So is Ducler. He double-posted. Plan A: steal one on the road and win all of them at home. Advance and crush San Antonio. Advance and crush Golden State. Then destroy whoever comes out of the East.

With Miami out, you guys have a great chance.

I honestly hate the playoffs. I get way too emotionally invested.

Just don't get blown out. I don't even expect a win, just glad it looks more like Russ gets MVP.

Very low expectations mean I can't be disappointed, right?

Adams looks lost defensively quite often.

If Westbrook gets extended minutes it will keep Beverley on floor and Williams and Gordon might get fewer minutes. Maybe Beverley and Roberson will even each other out :)

Robes and Gibson the only guys who came to play so far. Adams and Dipo have been straight up ass so far.

These aren't even good screens they are setting to get Adams on Harden.

Adams' defense has been pitiful so far.

On his dunk he looked like he barely got high enough to clear the rim. Then he couldn't come down with a rebound that was right there for the taking.

The pick and roll will be the death of this team.

Semaj banks in a three and robes is 2-2. This is as good as it gets folks. If we can't win tonight, we never will.
