First Round Playoffs Picks in the West

[stretch]

1. Explain 6-1. GS is better.
2. The refs won't HAND it to Dallas, but they will certainly see the free throw line more often than GS.

Then since Cleveland is 3-1 over the past two years against San Antonio, then they are the better team, and should beat the Spurs if they were to meet in a playoff series, but the only reason they wouldn't is if the refs give San Antonio a bunch of bull calls.

SHUT THE UP.

1. 6-1...right. You mean 5-1? You're really counting last night's Ft Worth Flyers game in that stat?? 3 of those 5 wins on last second shots that went the Warriors way or didn't go the Mavs way...including a 40 footer for a win. They're a tough matchup when they're shooting well, but they don't own the Mavs as the record over the last couple years indicates. A 7 game series is a whole different ball-game...

If it's 6-1 and as simply as that, why aren't you picking the Warriors in 5 or 6???

2. So total # of FT's is the determining factor in who the ref's favor?

If Cleveland makes the Finals (the only way they'd play SA), then we can talk about that. But it's not happening. Good try though. I can list plenty of BS calls that certain teams got last year, but I get annoyed at people complaining about refs, so why should I?

You guys act like I'm making up the 6-1 record stat. That's a laugh. I guess GS just happened to win 6 out of 7 by accident. Darn, I hate when that happens. Am I counting last night's, yes. Because I keep reading all this about Dallas being deep. So they should have taken care of an 8th place team last night with their deep bench, right?

Time to weed out the average from the elite starting on Saturday.

They won't meet, so your metaphor sucks ass.

LMAO...do you realize that Dallas started Barea and Ager?? Last night's game had nothing to do with the "depth" that Dallas has. The Mavs depth is their 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th guys on the bench. Not the 10th-12th. Pure ing genius, Jeff...

and where did I act like you're "making up" the 6-1? I fully addressed what happened in those games...

So what's your pick Jeff? GS in 5? 6? Or do the Mavs push them to 7??? If you believe in the "6-1" so much, surely you're picking GS to easily handle the Mavs...

Wow, can't believe EVERYONE is picking the Rockets.

I like PGs, and even though Houston plays better D, I just have a feeling about Utah.
