I predicted before the season started that the Wizards would be good, and they generally have been. But I don't really see them as being built for the playoffs. They don't have the experience and just don't feel like a team that is going to advance to a second round series. The Bulls have shown that...

Hey, what two consenting men do in their spare time is their business!

I am really rooting for SA. I want to see them get redemption for last year. I think they are the best team in the league and I think they can do it.

Pacers are pathetic. They really are. They should be walking all over the league but they can't even handle a team that barely wants to be there. Losing at home to the #8. Come on.

Wowwwwww! Warriors steal Game 1. Blake Griffin fouled out after playing only 19 minutes. Lots of weird / bad / ticky-tack foul calls in this game. Clips probably pissed about this one.

Warriors up 2, with 24 seconds left. Exciting!

I'd MUCH rather sign Gasol as an FA this offseason than trade assets for him, lose those assets, and then feel more pressure to re-sign him to avoid having wasted those assets.

And I say that despite not being super pumped about Gasol in general. I'd much rather have Love or some other guys.

Iguodala just fouled out. 3 point game with 3 minutes left. Warriors are starting to hack-a-DeAndre. LOL. Jordan has had a really solid game overall. Too bad to see so many top players (Iggy, Blake Griffin, etc.) sitting due to foul trouble.

It would be HUGE if GSW could steal Game 1 in LA.

And how many times have they advanced past the first round?

Clips up big so far. 12-1. I think the Clippers are better than OKC and are the second best team in the West.

Yawn. Is there any more boring first-round series? (Maybe Heat-Bobcats?) The Hawks didn't even want to make the playoffs. And they'll soon be back out of them. Indiana has had a real malaise over them during the second half of the season, but Atlanta is a far inferior team. Also I think being in the...

I have been watching a lot of Warriors games now that I live in the Bay Area. I just don't see this GSW team winning a playoff series. The team relies way too much on Curry pulling a basket out of his posterior in the closing moments. Bogut's out, which hurts them a lot. I think the Clips have slowl...

It seems like everybody is picking Brooklyn in this one. I picked them, too, but it was partly out of laziness. I don't really know the Raptors that well, so I just assumed they'd roll over. I heard some stats that they lose most of their close games because they don't have a real go-to scorer. But ...

As usual, INF is right on. They should keep as many talented rookies on the roster as they reasonably can.

I dislike almost everything about the new uniforms, except if the alternative is to wear an orange uni. Orange ones are my least favorite, regardless of design.

It's the Aaron Brooks for Dragic and a 1st rd pick trades that set teams back.

Ugh, can you believe how bad that trade was?? It still angers me. (And, to be fair, I supported it at the time. I didn't realize how far Aaron Brooks had fallen.)

I think the Thibodeau system is much like the D'Antoni system in that if you take a guy out of that system after he looked great in the system for several years, suddenly the guy is lost and worthless. The system either burns guys out or uses guys so well that their value out of it is diminished. I ...

My quick playoff predictions. More detail later. West 1 Spurs over 8 Mavs in 4 4 Rockets over 5 Blazers in 5 2 Thunder over 7 Grizzlies in 7 3 Clippers over 6 Warriors in 5 1 Spurs over 4 Rockets in 5 3 Clippers over 2 Thunder in 6 1 Spurs over 3 Clippers in 6 East 1 Pacers over 8 Hawks in 4 4 Bulls...

Ring- I can understand wanting to make a move at the deadline. But I didn't want to give up a 1st for a rental on Gasol. I have no idea why the Lakers didn't trade him other than the fact that they were demanding a 1st. I'd rather not make a move then overpay...But I can understand the reasoning be...

Archie,

FREAKING,

Goodwin! (Wow.)
