Was hoping the Bobcats would go to Seattle--Memphis to the EC.
It was probably just latent Heat hate.

Its hard to factor what they did last season into what's going on now. The main guys that hurt Memphis in that series are not with the Clippers anymore outside of Bledsoe (Reggie Evans, Nick Young and Kenyon Martin). Then, factor in that we had more of an isolation team back then and not running the offense through Marc Gasol.
I'm not saying we are better, but I just would not factor in what happened a year ago because both teams are much different (at least when it comes to that series). Memphis also had an injured Zach Randolph along with Speights. This season, they have a healthy Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol on top of Ed Davis and Arthur.
I'm just ready for the playoffs to start. The West is going to be crazy!

True. But I'd argue that the Clippers have improved from Evans, Young and Martin to Odom/Barnes and Crawford. Just saying that it's hard for me to consider Memphis contenders while the Clips are pretenders. That's all. I see both teams as equals in terms of odds. They are certainly both different than last post season but ultimately both are right there with each other.

Why is everyone talking about how the East is bad and the top 16 teams from either conference should get in? The Bucks have a better record than the Jazz so as of now the top 16 teams are in

After seeing K-Mart, I don't understand why the Clips didn't want him back.
Blake must've felt bad when he had to sit in the 4th because of him and Reggie.

Ok? Do you want the Bucks play more West teams? That travel would make them even worse. And if the Jazz had to play more games in the East. That travel might bring that below .500.
You play who you play. And even if Utah has a better record than the Bucks throw em in the playoffs still. What happens? Swept by the Heat. Yall just like to complain
the playoff set up is fine

On top of the fact that Denver does not take care of the ball. They are in the bottom 5 in turnovers per game as well.

Couldn't agree more. We are pretenders. Our record speaks for itself. San Antonio will wipe the floor with D'Phoney's scheme. They've owned him and I don't see anything changing if we do secure the 8th spot. |I

Mehhh. That's the pace moreso. We're tied for 10th in Turnover ratio with Memphis so it's not a big problem. You never really watch a game of Denver and see terrible sloppy play. They just have a lot of possessions

Rockets would wash the Knicks 4-0 or 4-1, regardless of who's on the roster.

That's true too. I guess the difference between you guys turning the ball over and say a team like OKC is its a lot easier to focus on two scorers isolating (in particular Westbrook) than a team that moves the ball as well as you guys.

Paul George 
Tyler Hansbrough averaging a double double since being inserted in the starting lineup. Dude is killing, he's definitely getting resigned
