Well done, that was a game changer, and a move into the Top 100 for the time being. For the Finals, I've got 8 solid picks left: Manu Ginobili, Boris Diaw, Danny Green, Chris Bosh, and LeBron James are all must pick, and following closely behind is Ray Allen, and then Game 7 can be a choice between Birdman or Tiago Splitter. I'm thinking: <br /><br />1. Lead off with Manu<br />2. Check out one game to see the usage of Diaw, Green and Splitter against the Heat and pick one for Game 2<br />3. Pick Chris Bosh and Ray Allen in Game 3 and 4 (in whatever order I feel like)<br />4. Pick the best available Diaw/Green/Splitter (based on how they've done in the series and who's being used)<br />5. Pick LeBron James in Game 6<br />6. Pick Birdman or another Spur (Tiago in all likelihood)<br /><br />I see an opportunity to move up the rankings in the NBA Finals!Tangenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826659197813804563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-74477187346956429452014-05-31T21:53:00.949-07:002014-05-31T21:53:00.949-07:00I have Bosh, LeBron, Allen, Duncan, and Manu I have Bosh, LeBron, Allen, Duncan, and Manu Luminosityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03007739384149933114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-9372592756111652402014-05-31T21:23:22.227-07:002014-05-31T21:23:22.227-07:00:P

Durant had 4 TOs (3 of them Danny Green steals) and a foul at the end compared to just 7 PAR. After being on pace for 48 at half, he probably won't even get 40 which looked like a sure thing. The Thunder appear to be giving up in G6 just like the Clippers did against them in the same G# last round. All of a sudden a 1 point deficit becomes 10 in the blink of an eye and the Thunder were outscored 37-20 in the quarter.aceee06https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961354981984051654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-77108792182261052082014-05-31T19:12:48.623-07:002014-05-31T19:12:48.623-07:00Jackson working hard for me

Durant is in the lead at 24, Westbrook right behind at 22, Diaw is 3rd at 15. Meanwhile Ibaka the leading % pick at 22% has 11 and Jackson has 13. If the Thunder win, I just hope G7 isn't a shocker (Thunder fans shall be thinking the opposite of this).aceee06https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961354981984051654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-28158621712896193932014-05-31T18:23:19.062-07:002014-05-31T18:23:19.062-07:00This week has been a disaster with Hibbert(6) and ...This week has been a disaster with Hibbert(6) and Chalmers(10).

Between Durant getting 50+ and the Spurs ending it tonight or Durant getting in the 40s and the Thunder forcing a G7 and Ibaka getting 20+ there in a loss, I hope I get whatever is the better benefit. I dropped 2% (from 93 to 91) with Chalmers being his invisible self despite 32 minutes, NINETEEN more than Chris Anderson who got 9 more PAR.aceee06https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961354981984051654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-48736422294522117232014-05-31T17:25:14.201-07:002014-05-31T17:25:14.201-07:00Lance Stephenson is a good player, that brings a l...Lance Stephenson is a good player, that brings a lot to the table to better a team. He also has a lot of mental issues, that cause a lot of problems for his team, and create chaos. Chaos is not good for any team. So it will be interesting to see how this turns out, and what other changes are made (new coach, different players, etc.)<br /><br />Paul George will be back for sure. Will Stephenson? Will they keep Hibbert or try to deal him? They also really do need a true point guard, as some of the "experts" were saying (not that I am always on board with the experts). Lots of uncertainty though for sure.Daytonanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-68548199885397820422014-05-31T17:24:44.002-07:002014-05-31T17:24:44.002-07:00Home teams all the way in these WCFs!

If this isn't an all home teams series, than I'd prefer Spurs in 6 than Thunder in 7 (just for DTTFs purposes so Thunder fans please don't be upset at me), because I'll have used the 4 most important Thunder.aceee06https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961354981984051654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-72634290372863484682014-05-31T17:18:51.944-07:002014-05-31T17:18:51.944-07:00In the Spurs vs. OKC series, the Spurs took care o...In the Spurs vs. OKC series, the Spurs took care of business in Game #5 and won their home game. This has been a home team series and the games have not even been close. OKC can't win in San Antonio (even though they did so during the season), and the Spurs can't win @OKC.<br /><br />The Spurs did prove in the last game however, that even with Serge Ibaka playing they can win, and even decimate OKC playing @home in San Antonio. Thus I now have renewed faith that the Spurs can still win this series, and move on to the Finals. Had the Spurs lost Game #5, that would have been lights out for them, as they then would have the daunting task of actually winning a game @OKC to stay alive. Which would not have happened, in all likelihood.<br /><br />OKC will (or at least should) win tonight @home, and there will be a Game #7 in San Antonio. If the Spurs play like they did in every other home game in this series, they will eventually be victorious, and move on to face the Heat in the Finals.<br /><br />For tonight, I am picking Russell Westbrook of the Thunder. He has had some outstanding games in this series, including a 55 PRA effort in his last home game. I probably missed the boat on that, but I would be ecstatic with a similar or even better effort. So going with Russell Westbrook tonight, hoping for 55+ PRA, but would be extremely happy with anything 45+ PRA honestly.<br /><br />Now hopefully once I Russell Westbrook, the Thunder don't come back and win this series. That would be a disaster.Daytonanoreply@blogger.com
