Because not many 3s these days have a post game. OKC plays small but not as often and even a lot of the 4s play on the perimeter these days.

via Marc Stein....on the WT

The Cleveland Cavaliers continue to hope they have an opportunity to bring LeBron James back to the franchise four summers after he left for the Miami Heat.

The Cavaliers won the lottery on Tuesday and could conceivably turn that asset into a desirable veteran player to coincide with James' timeline for title contention..

David Fizdale is also a head coaching candidate for the Cavaliers, who has worked with James as an assistant coach with the Heat.

Those sneaky bastards...

So the Spurs look better this year and they are hungry for revenge.

GetMoney · Post #2049 » by **GetMoney** » Thu May 22, 2014 2:11 am

Ha, You just realized they're better?

God I **** hate this spurs crowd. The finals are going to suck. It will be nonstop "the spurs play the most beautiful basketball of all time"

Even when the Spurs were a little stagnant and turning the ball over, they were just better in every way as the only thing OKC could get were hero shots from KD/Westbrook while the Spurs were getting good looks every time down. OKC's best player has been Adams for real who looks to be a real player.[quote][/quote]

Lol at OKC getting Danny Greened. :lol:

Ginobli is moving around as if he's 29 and not 36.

Just too **** good--all of them. Leonard, Splitter, Parker, everyone.

initial research got boring, didn't want to interfere with my positive energy....decided to focus on this year, this playoffs.

But to answer your question, initial research produced nothing of substance at this time...

Nah I mean I just basically pretended they don't exist while convincing myself that OKC would go to the Finals...

makes no sense to leave a 2time team now that wade seems fine. I dont think lebron will end here in miami he eventually will go to cle after next contract.

The west is a wrap , 0 defense and bricking shots. If wade is healthy and spurs play the same game as last year i can see him average 30ppg lol he got his legs back his jumper is so awsome right now

If we do make the finals even though I think we win the Heat are going to have to be perfect to beat the Spurs, can't afford to be lazy defensively and go on offensive droughts it will be super tough.

marson · Post #2057 » by **marson** » Thu May 22, 2014 2:24 am

LeBron can go back to Cleveland if he wants to. He gave us 2 championship (possibly 3) so i'll be grateful to him forever yeah i'll continue to support him, but not against us. Heat would be one of the top destination for every superstars because of our winning culture and family atmosphere i'm not worried about our future.

We have a healthy Wade who is just now peaking. Not saying they won't be trouble, I'm just saying don't count us out yet. 8-)

Spurs were up 2-0 in 2012 playoffs against OKC but OKC went 4-0 to win the series.

I am not saying that OKC will beat Spurs again this year, but isn't it kind of premature to call it a series for OKC after first game and a half???

Yep. There will be very marginal room for error.
