They seem deeper this year, though, especially with their recent acquisitions.

Agreed. And younger, they're also the best 3 pt shooting team atm, but the Western Conf. is a *****

Anything could happen

By the way, OKC is looking sexy as hell.

Durant and Harden are ridiculous, Westbrook can be great too. Ibaka is a TREMENDOUS defender, Perkins adds that toughness and championship experience (Fisher too).

Sefolosha is a good defender and Daequan Cook is one of the best 3 pt shooters in the game

I'd be somewhat surprised if the Finals weren't between OKC and Miami (Miami is a lock to win the East IMO)

The thunder is the only team I'd root for a championship outside the magic.

Thunder are nothing but a jump shooting team that gets a million calls from the refs.

I'm rooting for SA to win it all

Not going to go for the Magic?

Thanks for the thoughts.. I do think OKC probably has the better chance at winning.
I didn't like all the calls in their favor in the Minny game though... lol. That game was huge for Love and Barea. Sadly it go spoiled.

The Spurs, I still feel that no matter their additions they will still be eliminated by a younger, talented team. They're just running out of gas and I'm surprised they keep playing this well every year. I'd be glad to be wrong...

The Mavs, I think no matter how good Carlisle has shown to be, they just don't have the talent.

The Bulls are very consistent but they will probably face the same road blocks as last year with the Heat.

Magic = 2012 Champions

The Thunder are getting cheated tonight. lol....How many no calls can they get at the rim and moving screens that weren't called on the Heat? ****.....well..they are playing the Heat..but doesn't the Thunder deserve some type of respect from the referees.

Bull *****ing ****. The Thunder get millions of calls go their way. Westbrook+Durant+Harden combines for the most FTA trio in the league by a pretty big margin. If there's a team I don't want to win the chip, it's the thunder. Bunch of jump shooting floppers.

They're jump shooters and have no one to work on post offense, but they might be talented and well coached enough to take on the Heat. Ibaka might be able to handle Bosh and Westbrook (not a fan of him), could give trouble to them since they're a bit weak at PG. Durant's also a better clutch player than Lebron.

At this point, knowing the Magic won't get there, I'm rooting for SA. You just gotta love their game, the coaching, and good ol' Timmy. However, unless they have the right pieces to contain the transition game, keep Lebron out of the 4th quarter, and outsmart Spoelstra like Carlisle did, idk if they can take on the South Beach divas.

Yes.. that's right.. I see the playoffs in terms of who can beat the South Beach Miami Vice Divas.

I wasn't aware of this during the season, but I have to agree with the bold watching the OKC-DAL matchup

[irishock]

I might even hate the Thunder more than the Heat. I can't stand their douchebag players in Westbrook and Perkins. Durant is a baby who is protected by the league and gets more calls than Michael *****ing Jordan (KG Quote). Their home crowd is filled with a bunch of bandwagoners who whine whenever a call doesn't go their way. Go back to College Football, you *****ing idiot fans.


Last year, Denver could have knocked them off in the first round if the officials didn't blatantly fix the games by not calling the offensive interference and the backcourt violation. Thank GOD Dallas humiliated them in the WCF. Dirk's performance in game 4 at OKC was just ridiculous. And then they went on to beat the Heat also. That was the greatest possible playoff outcome if the Magic won't win the title.
