failhard.
I think we can attribute most of Westbrook's performance to the fact that LA has shit for point guards.
Sessions is decent, but Brown has Blake out on the floor too much. Not taking anything away from him though, Rusty is fucking legit in his own right.
Also, you gotta laugh at the people that still regard the Pacers as a scrub-level team. They're the 5th best team in the NBA during the regular season, FFS. Both the Spurs and Pacers have quietly dominated the past few months.

I was watching the NBA pregame and they were echoing everything I said about Miami heat in regards to if they don't win there will be either player/coach/management change or all three. Also Magic said he likes Mike Brown but Brown's failures to make in game adjustments is what caused Cleveland's failures and ultimately the Lakers failures that's exactly what I have been saying. To win a championship you need good coaching and good players if you have one or the other you will not win period even with Michael Jordan.
I also saw a pregame interview is Spo and he looked like a deer in the headlights that guy is way out of his league.

yeah...I personally do not and never did like Spo for Miami. They need a strong controlling no BS Coach with some balls and leadership skills and background. If Miami can play consistently as they are now, with DWADE playing like DWADE has and does...Miami automatically wins the EAST! ...period! And can return to the playoffs consistently also. But the coach... BLAH! He is too soft and doesn't know how to coach in X & O's the 2 stars strong suites.
LJ 40 and DW 30+ (second half ONLY!!!) ... goes back to what I was saying regarding OKC KD & Westbrook... < This matchup SHOULD BE the 2012 NBA FINALS but the #s and talent show. ~ imo
(...or the SPURS of course)

DWADE playing well and having at least a 20pt game...FIXED! LB barely ever has a garbage game. And when he does/did DWADE played even better. Its going to take a balanced attack from BOTH! as we just saw a hellavah show today on the road. But w/o DWADE playing good~decent, they have NO CHANCE ^ +100%

Its sad for Lebron because he is so good but he has had the misfortune of having substandard coaches at both stops. Its sad because now he has both local and nationally televised sportscasters making fun of him saying the heat will win multiple championships. I realize why he chokes sometimes in the 4th quarter that monkey on his back is so heavy he can only can only carry it for 3 quarters.

very true...also sad that everyone ONLY talks about LeBron's failures, decisionss and game... Last time I checked DWADE was the MIAMI HEAT Championship ring holder. LeBron was a AWESOME addition to a ok~Good team. A addition to push em over the hump and return to the FINALS, as they should now. And this is why it does require BOTH to play not perfect... But decent games. ~ 22-25pts each.
And games like today = UNSTOPPABLE ![2 Cents](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/2cents.gif)

This Spurs team is scary as hell. Every drive to the basket looks so smooth. I'd hate to see these guys play aggressive basketball.

I can't stand Crawford as a ref. That guy is way too call happy....

The Spurs are ruthless. Whoever said they were just fucking with LA were absolutely right.

Meh. It was inevitable.
I'm not that amazed by the Spurs though. I'm not one to put asterisks on things, but plenty of shit went down this year. All they are doing is surviving and staying consistent.
Good on the Clips for turning it around though. They lucked into a CP3 deal, but took it about as far as they can take it.

You weren't the only one that slept on em, especially after they got worked by 'lowly' Memphis last year. I did until they worked my Lakers towards the end of the season. I don't like the Spurs, but I do love watching the precision and 12 years of well-developed chemistry.
Kudos to them for taking advantage of the situation. Interesting to note though, that it's only been 74 games played by them. Not even a full season yet for them to wear down.
Kinda reminiscent of 1999, where a fairly old team led by David Robinson and 1 young Timmay Duncan won the 'asterisk' title. They peaked at what would normally be the very end of a season, before playoffs.

Spurs look impressive. ![Nod](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/nod.gif)
LeHeat, not as much, because they didn't win by a trillion points. And they are expected to win. And to sweep. But, have have lost twice already...to the Pacers. So...

^ sounds like the medias bandwagon expectations. = Unrealistic expectations. LeHeat are GOOD and can even be the best in the league. I truly feel LJ and DW need more chemistry. CONSISTENT CHEMISTRY and not these spurts of ESPN hi-lights every other week of SUPERMEN plays and blowing out teams.

who's whining? Not me, im stating facts not sci-fi statements here. And all the O fouls we get on D, is under the basket and outside of the restricted area, not some lame at the 3 point line lemme fly backwards toward the bench crap.

Then there's the talk on post-game show about KD & RW racking up 68 points or James & Wade making 70 combined points & how that's what will win their games.

I agree with this. I can't stand listening to the media bring up how KD is the leading scorer in the league against the Lakers, considering that 2nd place is on the Lakers & could have easily remained #1 had he not sat out the last game or so of the regular season.

But, it's not like the Lakers are coming from a 0-3 deficit. 1-3 comebacks have been done before. It was done in '06 & '03 and the Lakers have been one of those teams, bar that it was in 1970.

Kind of bugs me that Barkley & them have already completely thrown out the Lakers, even though it does look that way.
