It's weird, I can see either team winning in 6, but I don't really see it going to a game 7.

The Spurs remind me a lot of a regular season team that racks up wins by doing things the right way and being well coached at this point. I don't see them as a real threat anymore until they refresh that roster a bit.

I agree. Just too many guys past their prime. Parker in particular looks super washed up and inconsistent.

Yeah, seems like his effort/assertiveness comes and goes. No wonder Lillard out-alpha'd him so quickly in Portland.

I mid range shooting power forward is really not something that can be a game changer anymore anyway.

Rooting for the Rockets in round 3 is going to make me sick.

It can in some situations, but he's not fast enough anymore to switch on a lot of screens on D.

I'm hoping for a sweep. Hayward is less likely to leave for the C's if the Jazz show something against the Warriors. He's probably the only free agent Boston has a chance to can get and he's a long shot.

I like Hayward a lot. I bet he stays in Utah though.

We don't know what he thinks though, I don't believe he's every expressed a desire to re-join Stevens, has he?

Would he want to be with Brad though? Brad has the look of a guy that has molested his players.
