Meh. Lots of teams have beaten SA in the regular season then lost to them in the playoffs. Lakers, Mavs and Thunder all come to mind.

Shark mentioned the regular season. We are simply discussing the topic that he brought up. Y'all have been fortunate to not have to play us in the postseason, so bringing up the Lakers, Mavs and Thunder postseason history vs the Spurs is meaningless

I don't think anyone has been playing the regular season thinking "Man, I really hope we don't draw the Rockets in the playoffs" in the last 15 years.

How did that work out for OKC in the Playoffs? One day you guys will learn that the regular season head to head means absolutely nothing.

We are having a regular season talk and y'all keep only talking about playoffs, yet you say you are just here to talk about the topics at hand because it's interesting.

Portland beat Houston in 6. SA crushed Portland. Matchups are important, but not THAT important. Houston may have pushed SA to 7 in the first round the same way Dallas did, but by the second round SA was in a groove that made them the best team in the league.

It's not really about the regular season either, but I chose to play along since you wanted to

Well, since this thread has pretty much run its course...

Rockets are playing the Timberwolves in Mexico City in November...T-Wolves giving up the home game.

Christmas Day games...predictions:

Cavs-Heat
Knicks-Bulls
Spurs-Thunder
Lakers-Clippers
Rockets-Blazers (late game)

Who are some of the free agent options at the guard and center position that we can afford?

Okafor is the only thing really left at center.

Wouldn't mind Okafor. What happened to Blatche?

He hasn't played a minute of defense his whole life. That's what happened. Great way to have a formidable defense when Dwight is out of the game.

We will see if it translates into the regular season, but this is encouraging:

quote:
I spoke to several members of the USAB staff, and behind the scenes they were amazed at how good James Harden has become as an overall player since his last tour with USA two years ago. The fact that he came in and was focused on being a lockdown defender blew them away. When he wants to play defense, Harden is very capable. We already knew he is one of the premier offensive players in all of Basketball. Love him as a player (have always loved lefties) for his unorthodox moves in the open court that allow him to get to the rim, and also knowing how to draw fouls. But now I am being told he is getting it done on the other end, which has always been the major complaint about Harden’s game.


Heres the rest of the article:

Thanks for finding that...that article just confirms what we've all pointed out...Harden has chosen to be lazy on the defensive end, as opposed to trying and sucking at it.

Sounds like many team USA coaches are amazed at the focus Harden has placed on the defensive end. I like it

I was 'BAMAvTAMU-2012' drunk when this happened. One of those out of body type intoxications that made that go down a lot easier.
