I've been saying that for YEARS now! Westbrook is a shooter he is not going to make anyone around him better he is not Chris Paul or3 Magic Johnson. Just draft a PG or get a PG during the FA and move Westbrook to the 2 spot or the SG position enough is enough. Westbrook never was and never will be a PG I don't care what his title says he is not the 1 spot.
everything you guys say about Spurs is true but you guys are still giving way too little credit to Heat. Granted, they have with Bron a force of nature, but the way Miami plays helpdefense, the passing and movement game, the spacing...is simply incredible. and that's where Bosh plays an important role. granted, it's sometimes pathetic to see him get 0 rebounds or 4 rebounds or whatever and he seems soft, but his spacing and the simple fact that his midrange game and shot are excellent, creates a lot of spacing issues for every opponent and makes even a guy like Chris Andersen look good next to him in a game like this.
And the problem of Westbrook and Durant is that their coach is a bozo when it comes to offense. Look at the sets Spoelstra and Pop run, and look at all the ISO bullshit Thunder still play. Give OKC to Doc or SVG or any coach running a more progressive offensive game and see how they will actually be unstoppable for the next 10 years.

I never understood why Eastern Teams are willing to pay so much.
another interesting point is that Mavs payroll keeps declining every year. They are sort of going
into that San Antonio mentality.

I made a friendly wager taking Miami straight up for $50 and yes you are right. Granted, LBJ is a force but like you pointed out their help defense is second to none and I was also talking about this with my buddies and pops. We all agree that when Miami wants, they play shut down defense better than anybody in the league. Chicago and Indiana may be better defensive teams overall but when it comes to those last crucial four minutes, Miami can shut you down and lock you up. San Antonio keeps it close and respectable the way they play team ball but Miami wins in 6 or 7 games.
As for OKC ya their coach is kind of the opposite of the former Laker coach, Mike D'Antoni they would make a good team. D'Antoni was good on offense but a bozo on defense and this OKC ref is good on D but a bozo on offense.

so it
Yes that is true because look at the big west coast market teams like the Lakers and the Clippers they spend money it has nothing to do with west coast v east coast it is a numbers game the big market have a big advantage, they can attract the stars and LA has it's own unique advantage and that is everyone wants to come to LA. At least there is a cap and there is luxury tax so it's not like baseball where the Yankees and Dodgers just clean house(and this is coming from a Dodger fan).
Who is this Ibeka gentleman you speak of bro? I just know of a Serge Ibaka 
sorry I could resist but you are so right man however, it was more than just SI9 you knew they were going to win game three. OKC is too good of a team to get swept plus I believe this makes it number eight in a row against SA in their own home. They can very well even out the series with a nice W and regain momentum heading into the crucial swing game 5 in SA. I think he made 8 out of the first 15 points for OKC that set the tone for the game and man the Spurs were just off. At one point Parker had back to back to back turnovers in a quick two minute span. I never saw that from him before.

I don't get it this whole time I was raving about how the Spurs play unselfish basketball, pass the rock, hit the open guy and take good percentage shots. Now they screwed the pooch and the series is tied up. They still have the advantage though two out of the next three will be in SA but now OKC has a shot. I'll bet Pop will tear that team a new one.
