Could these be a playoffs of attrition?

The way things are going. First Lee, then Westbrook, now Splitter.

Tiago Splitter is out indefinitely due to a sprained left ankle that he suffered in the San Antonio Spurs' Game 3 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, the team announced Saturday.

Splitter is expected to miss seven to 10 days, according to the San Antonio Express-News.

Splitter averaged 10.3 points and 6.4 rebounds in the regular season, solidifying himself as the Spurs' starting center.

Wonder how this affects San Antonio although comfortably ahead of Houston 3-0. Would be nice to go into San Antonio before he gets back if we can polish off Denver quickly. Depth seems to be a key when it comes to these playoffs. Hopefully we won't suffer anything major as far as injuries go (especially with Curry).

If we make it out against Denver, I'd hope the Lakers at least win one or two to tire the Spurs before we run headlong into them.

Relying on these Lakers to do anything positive is hopeless.

I rely on them to bring me amusement through news of ironic suckitude. They've come through lately.

It's been a lot of fun watching these first round games around the bay area's lakers fans, I'll give them that much.

Am I crazy to think just a tiny second that we can go to the NBA finals?

Yes, I am. But.....don't stop believing.

Having the ability to drop consecutive 30+ point quarters will do wonders for one's belief in a team's ability to win. I feel like the team is on the whole loving the magnitude of the moment. So why not?

On top of which the NBA is already missing Rose, Rondo, and Kobe from this year's playoffs.

When is it LeBron's turn to go down? I love to see that just so it is not about the Heat all the time.

haha

Journey is one of my favorite bands but I just checked the charts positions here in Germany and to my suprise: no, they weren't big here. Hasselhoff crushed them.
