Strider Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Without Avery Bradley the Celtics are doomed. So much for my Boston pick. If I am Steve Kerr, I sit Stephen Curry down until they lose a game. Let him rest and heal his ankle as long as possible. Golden State can probably beat Houston without Curry anyway.

Both the Spurs and the Thunder would give the Warriors a sterner test than the Clippers. Hell, Oklahoma City had the lead in the 4th quarter in all the games they played against Golden State this season. If OKC could just learn to get out of its own way and mentally toughen up in crunch-time, they might be the ones to stop the Warriors juggernaut.

chef free Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Two guys on OKC are great! But the stat that kills them is least passes per game in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan1977 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I sure hope this MRI for Curry is negative. Nobody wants to see him out. And if anyone can beat them they are not beating them at their best if he is out. I hope he is ok. I expect the Clippers to wipe the floor with Portland tonight.

I say the Clippers will smash them tonight. Nothing will save Portland no matter. So i sounds like the Clippers are their opponent if they win? Other than a miraculous win by Memphis, but I am pretty sure San Anton already did them in? Not sure. But what ever happened to Memphis anyway? Does anyone know? The Clips and GS will be a war with or without Stephen. I do love the guy. They are my favorite two teams My allegiance must go to the Clips first as they are the former Braves. But I also loved the 70 Lakers of West and Wilt. West and Barry are my all time favs and Ernie D. Clevleand likely wins the East just because of Lebron. But they suck as a team. That is how weak the East is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedZeppfan1977 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Chris Paul is done. Broken hand and that means the Clippers are likely done also This is a damn shame. Now i believe this makes OKC the favorite in the West if Durant can swallow some of his pride and be a team player. Him and Westbrook showed signs of this yesterday. OKC now may be the favorite with Curry and Chris Paul out? Or not? The supporting cast for both teams are very good. Blake the Neanderthal must be there and ready to stop whining about every little ache and pain. Suck it up and do your damn job. Crawford and Roddick are not chopped liver. Nor is Austin Rivers. So maybe the Clippers are better than people think? Golden St is. And even though no Curry, they are 9 pt favs over a Houston team that has a ton of lazy ass talent.

paul carruthers Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I don't know if this is old news or not, but I saw on the crawl while watching ESPN, that Blake Griffin is done for the Clippers as well. Depending on whether or not Steph Curry can come back from his injury, the West may belong to the Spurs, again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Strider is right about the vegas lines. But GS seems to be fine. The Clippers are anything but fine. I thought they could still beat Portland without Blake. I guess not. The West final is going to be OKC/SA vs GS. They said a month now for CP? So if they Clippers even rallied to beat Portland, I do not think he can return. Sucks. I hope GS wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
