And, ...That post was me trying to be funny, yes :)<br /><br />And, just for the record, I got it that the West is over. But I had Bayless picked for a possible game 5 and he still showed on my picks on the DTTF site. Game 6 was also still scheduled. That´s why I commented on that. <br /><br />Didn´t want to confuse anybody.Alex Hergeshttp://www.donald.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-45212757868488582292013-05-29T01:11:10.470-07:002013-05-29T01:11:10.470-07:00Contenders not doing Moneyball.

I had forgotten that they had both Rudy Gay and Marreese Speights. I think that really cost them a shot at the title. Once they faced SA's defense (really the only team save for maybe LAL with the ability to match their size) they couldn't find a way to score and with Z-Bo neutralized it was over before it started. They did lose two tough overtime games, so it could have easily gone 6 but that's really the point...add Gay and Speights and I think they could have won the series.<br /><br />I'm all for Moneyball, but there are two teams this year that preemtively made big roster changes and both IMO suffered for it.<br /><br />It's tough to say with the injury to Westbrook is OKC would have still underperformed, but had they kept Harden that team would have been incredible. Though you could argue maybe Harden doesn't emerge as a sub.<br /><br />But the point being both teams could have played out the season and playoffs with what they had and dealt with the luxury tax problem in the off season. Martin cost twice as much this season as Harden and Gay was the scorer Prince will never be.<br /><br />Curious to see if Moneyball will build a championship team. It's so hard to keep great rosters together in the new CBA both Memphis and OKC might have lost a crucial year that they'll never get back. I'm much more of a play for now than a save for later person myself.<br /><br />Deep thoughts :)Sedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16581495983098180836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-51079270539188803722013-05-28T16:25:32.610-07:002013-05-28T16:25:32.610-07:00Read again after the Heat game ;)Read again after the Heat game ;)Taong Gagambahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172021582832968662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-32147333950687396492013-05-28T16:24:46.163-07:002013-05-28T16:24:46.163-07:00Yep got lucky with QP.

Not that it helped me closing the gap to you as you picked him, too. <br /><br />For tomorrow I decided to cancel Bayless. Don´t know yet who to pick, maybe I´ll leave this one out.
