That was what made them better, ball movement and getting everyone involved. I didn't see anything about that.

Thanks to Tangent I got Aldridge and Leonard out of the way, and I only lost Durant (ouch) and Ibaka from the Thunder. Let´s wait and see how this is going to play out.<br /><br />Meanwhile I still don´t know what to do with Raptors. They are favored to win, but we all know they are equally capable of bowing out. They still remind me of the number 1 seed Pacers from two years ago who were bad all playoffs and still pushed the Heat to 6 games in the conference finals. <br /><br />Well, I can´t imagine anything but a rematch in the Finals. <br /><br />Tonight it´s going to be Dragic. Should the Heat win and it´s game 7 on sunday, I would probably pick a Raptor. Come to think of it, I could pick a Raptor now for Sunday, this way, even if they advance I would have a pick for g1 of the conf finals. Might come in handy as I don´t know if I can be online on sunday.

Unfortunately some of the very few options that OKC has to offer have already been used, and if they win tonight and eliminate the Spurs, the next round is going to be a complete mess, never mind if OKC actually somehow makes it to the finals.<br /><br />I picked Serge Ibaka (10 PRA) in Game #5 and he was his usual horrible self contributing next to nothing to the cause. So while that was a disappointing effort by Ibaka, I have become used to his horrible games out there and especially on DTTF.<br /><br />So with the Spurs trailing 3-2 tonight on the road I will pick one of their players. Going with Tony Parker, hoping for 20+ PRA out of him tonight. If he is horrible and the Spurs lose, so be it. If somehow the Spurs win this series, not exactly looking good at the moment, I'll have some decent options for Round #3 of the Playoffs. This should be interesting as this goes forward.Daytonanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-13566813384801893202016-05-12T16:31:47.530-07:002016-05-12T16:31:47.530-07:00I do believe in the Spurs.

He couldn´t get a rebound or anything else. That´s seems to be what you get when DeRozan and Lowry do everything and shoot 47 times. He still was the third best Raptor, but that second half, yikes.<br /><br />Tonight it has to be Kawhi. Can´t really go anywhere else. <br /><br />The big question is, who, if anybody, is going to play on Sunday? My tentative pick would be Westbrook if the Spurs manage to win tonight.

Unfortunately they play 2 halves in basketball, and their decent sized lead vaporized after that as Steph Curry took over especially in overtime, where he was completely unstoppable from the lack of a Portland defense. Single coverage on Steph Curry? Seriously?<br /><br />Anyway it is now the end of the road for the Portland Trailblazers as they now face the monumental task of beating the Golden State Warriors on their home court, which isn't logically going to happen at all. Golden State was 44-2 at home this year, while Portland was a miserable 17-29. Those numbers spell doom for Portland playing on the road in this one. So I will definitely be picking a Portland player tonight.<br /><br />I pretty much drained the Portland roster already, but still have their big gun left, and I will play him tonight in what will most likely be the Blazers last game of the year. Going with Damian Lillard tonight, so hopefully he lights it up, and puts up another 50+ PRA effort in the losing cause.Daytonanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-24989589723833264852016-05-11T16:03:00.615-07:002016-05-11T16:03:00.615-07:00DeMarre Carroll for me tonight...

I was getting a little angry after LMA kept missing his shots, but after that meltdown by the Spurs (seriously, they go 40-1 in the regular season and win g1 with 32 points only to lose two homegames in a row?) I am glad I took a Spur. <br /><br />I now have the same two players lined up as Taong, is that a good sign? But I don´t see any viable option to not picking Kawhi, like just about everybody else.
