6' 11" isn't big?

Yep......and that's the only big category Howard fits into.......his height. Manute Bol was also big, should I continue with the "big" list?

If it will make your e-penis 2 inches bigger, sure.

I dont have an e penis. You're the guy that thinks Howard is part of a big two. He's been exposed as a fraud time and time again, but you're right, 6' 11" is big.

Thatt's my point, they need his DD rebounds a game.
Nobody is putting him in the Hall of Fame.

Call me crazy but I like the Grizzlies. Pays 13:1.

Is Atlanta a lock for the East championships?

Just remember Atlanta does not have a lot if any payoff experience the last several years.

They could crash and burn rather quickly in the playoffs!

They've been to the playoffs the last 7 years and made the 2nd round 3 or 4 of those years I believe.

that is plenty of playoff experience to get them fired up to play

They have been to the playoffs 7 straights years and Milsap, Sefolosha Korver, and Brand have playoff experience on other teams as well.

Spurs are starting to focus. Can't put too much stock into anything in the reg season. All you rookies make the same mistakes every single year. Watch the reg season and think team A beating team B 3 times out of 4 in the reg season means anything...

Doesn't mean shit. Watch the Spurs the last week of the reg season and how focused they are. Their bench + leonard will be good enough to beat some starting lineups.

[t-wizzle]

They will be tough to beat but they will lose tonight.

[Menses]

Spurs have obviously been tanking most of the season and injured in the process..they are healthy now and getting ready for another run..god help the team who plays them in the first round...

[jjgold]

Leonard is such a stud definitely top five NBA player

[Goat Milk]

Like I said Leonard best perimeter defender since Jordan. Not surprised he won DPOY. He will win another in his career too. Here's how you separate rookie nba gamblers from the rest. Guys like Nash that say "I watched the Spurs play this year and father time has caught up to them". Rookies don't know the difference between reg season and playoffs.

The Spurs are on life support though. Their two best penetration players are a shell of their former selves.

However like you said, Leonard has emerged. All things considered, he's right there as a top 5 player in the league. Top 10 for sure. They are running on borrowed time. Surely you realize this.

Parker will keep getting healthier. Trust me. This is a tough series for him because Paul is just the best PG in basketball on both ends imo and I've always thought that. No pg in the NBA can really stay in front of Parker except maybe Paul. Yeah the difference like I said would be Leonard. Spurs were just waiting for the playoffs to unleash him. This is definitely the Spurs last year imo unless they grab someone in the offseason. I believe in them. Warriors can definitely hang with them. Rockets I don't think so. Too poor defensively. Who's gonna guard Parker on the Rockets? Come on.

Did you watch the Spurs this year though? They unleashed Leonard in the last 2-3 months of the season. He was their go-to guy by far.

Yep he was. They did kind of start unleashing him there. He still was only getting like 30 minutes a night. His minutes are gonna keep going up throughout this playoffs and they're gonna ride him more and more. If the Spurs play the Rockets though, I really thing Parker is gonna dominate that series. Watch. No one on that team can guard Tony Parker, injured or not.

What about Harden. I can't stand him with his little crafty moves. But he had a great year and is playing with a ton of confidence. Leonard on Harden for most of the series you think (if they meet)?

Probably a mix between him and Danny Green. They'll probably want to preserve Leonard as much as possible so he can get his offensively and then guard Harden late in the game.

[t-wizzle]

What do you think of Harden though? I know you never were crazy about him but now he's going to finish 1st or 2nd in mvp voting. Was curious if your feelings changed.

[Goat Milk]

I think Harden is amazing. Offensively, he is just unbelievable. He's grown on me. Defensively, he's getting better. Still not elite Kobe Wade type of D like they were in their primes -- actually no even close -- but he has that same ice in his veins like those 2. He's really the best closer in the NBA right now imo. I don't think he'll win the MVP but he's just as good as Curry.
