Sup John, who do you actually have winning the le? Why?
John Hollinger (12:25 PM)
Spurs. Because they're better than everybody else.

Honestly if anyone has watched closely the Spurs shread the Thunder, Lakers, Grizz this year who could pick anyone else except plausibly the Heat???

You are basing picking the Spurs on them beating a horrible Utah team in the 1st round?? Whether they draw LAC or Mem in round 2 and then OKC or LAL in round 3 it is gonna be alot tougher
John Hollinger (12:33 PM)
I'm picking them based on their going 28-3 in their past 31 games, and winning the season series against every remaining team in the West, with at least one humiliating win against every one of them, and going. Or how about this: They're 22-3 in their past 25 road games. Two of the losses came when they sat their starters. Nobody's beating them.
That's a crazy in stat.

Miami would have the 3 best players in a series against the Spurs. Tough to overcome that even considering Heats lack of depth
John Hollinger (12:43 PM)
Two best, yes. But I'd argue 3, 4 and 5 play for San Antonio, as do 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. Chalmers could probably be the Spurs' 10th man if he applied himself; he's the fourth-best payer on Miami. That's why I'd take San Antonio.
Trollinger with the goods
Congratulations Ant (SA), you beat the buzzer.
A salient case can be made that Parker is outplaying Wade the last 1/3 of the season and historically when healthy Manu has had a PER near or higher than Wade some seasons. A fully functioning and hot Manu is a good retort for Wade any day and Parker will be effective. James will be called upon to cover Parker and if other Spurs stay hot, in particular Duncan inside, Spurs could roll Miami.
I bet nobody outside of San Antonio likes hearing this, but it is so damn true. Go up and down the roster of every team remaining, find their 4th best guy, and tell me if he could crack the Spurs rotation.Chalmers could probably be the Spurs' 10th man if he applied himself; he's the fourth-best payer on Miami.
Screw the non-believers, Spurs stay healthy and Pop does not revert to Blair ball, nobody beating the Spurs.
in scoffed that dude!
Thunder: Ibaka
Clippers: Butler
Grizzlies: Conley
Nuggets: McGee
Lakers: Sessions/MWP/Barnes?
Celtics: Allen
Hawks: Teague
Pacers: George/Hill
Bulls: Boozer
Sixers: Young/Brand
Most of those guys would make our rotation
holy
owned
Chicago: Rose, Deng, Boozer, Noah
Boston: Garnett, Pierce, Rondo, Allen
Philly: Holiday, Hawes, Igoadala, Williams
La Clippers: Paul, Griffin, Young, Martin
La Lakers: Bryant, Bynum, Gasol, Sessions
Indiana: Hibbert, Granger, George, West
Memphis: Randolph, Gasol, Gay, Conley
OKC: Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka
Denver: Lawson, Gallinari, Faried, Harrington
You got me with Atlanta. Miami has no depth to begin with.
McGee isn't the fourth best player on the Nuggets and no he wouldn't.
LOL i love it mr hollinger!
LeBron all by himself beat the out the Spurs. Spurs have no chancePERIOD...
You're right, forgot about Chandler and Faried as well. But c'mon son, he just dropped like 21/14 on Bynum the other night. You really think someone with his size and athleticism/talent wouldn't make the Spurs frontline rotation? Dumb players like him need a coach like Pop, I think he would thrive here
thats cute
Chalmers, Teague and whoever you want to consider as Philly's 4th best player would be the only ones who wouldn't crack the Spurs rotation TBH.
Serge Ibaka not only cracks the Spurs rotation, he starts.
I still think the other night was a fluke tbh. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every once in a while. Blair's had some monster games in the past too and I'm not sure who I'd rather have as my last option big off the bench. I'm not sure Pop can handle two Blairs on the same team
