Golden State's bench is weaker this year and they have no rim protection. They have always had a guy on the back line that could rim protect. Whether it was Bogut or McGee there was rim protection. Its a layup line with them this year.


Klay Thompson has always been the key to their team IMO. He has been woefully inconsistent this year. They don't win this year unless he gets it going. The Lakers trapped Durant and Curry and didn't even bother with Draymond Green. They might as well been in San Jose (did someone bother to state that its still the same market?) as far as he was concerned.

Teams in the West have more than a punchers chance and so do the teams in the East.


I will go with Golden St until someone proves otherwise. Just like the smart play was to go with Lebron in the East until proven otherwise.



Yeah they are still the Favs but this might be their toughest postseason to date. The year with OKC and Cleveland obviously tested them but this one might exceed that. There are some teams that can get up with them and they may be tired after making a 5th straight run at it.

Boogie may be the x factor but i don't expect him to be anywhere near the same player this season coming off injury.

This does seem like exhaustion. Boogie is likely going to hurt more than help because of his character.

You could've grabbed the Lakers at +325 midway through the 1st quarter on Bovada. Looked like the Warriors weren't interested from the beginning.


I wonder what the odds were when LA was up by 19 early in the 3rd. When GS had cut the lead to 2 later in the 3rd and LeBron had exited after popping his groin, I would not have thought it possible for the Lakers to win by 29, on the road no less.

I will always be amazed how the word parity is used in place of mediocrity

Big Game Kyrie shows up again. Veganfan nowhere to be found.


That bitch is still ringless without LBJ and failed to make the finals. He also didn't make All NBA on any of the three teams. He's not in any conversation about the top ten players.



Checking out Gottlieb today. He and Caron Butler agreed that the only thing preventing him from top ten status have been injuries and being the Robin to Lebron's Batman. Butler also stated that he would have been top 5 in MVP voting if not for the injuries last season.
