    a possible angle for this game is that golden state will be playing a home game at 1230 pacific time on sunday, either game 1 against houston or 7 against LAC.

    if state gets a lead, look for some extra rest potentially, which would make me lean to the backdoor being open and the under.

    of course if its close, the clippers will cover anyways

    I give LA credit though, none of the other low seeds showed any fight at all, at least they showed up.

    eh?! It always will be a players league because they make the money, but it would quite clearly be better if the coaches ruled by strategy rather than politics.

    sure. you can say that. it's also a players league because players have the talent. they have the gift. and they determine the outcome of games. they make the shots, miss the shots. you can design the greatest system ever as a coach, but if you don't play the game, if you can't score/defend, what does it matter. coach bud was in atlanta last year and had the worst record in the NBA. Now he's on a team with the best record in the NBA. All he did was change teams, nothing else.

    Then get rid of the coaches. Factory workers are for the workers. Get rid of the bosses.

    Wan't Cousy or Bill Russel a player coach back in the day? Not saying coaches do nothing, but as I said, coach bud coached the worst team record wise in the nba last year and one year later has the best record in the nba. he tried so hard to make his system work in atl, but had no chance w those nasty ass players. Factory workers don't really have much talent. It's an assembly line, meaning they can be replaced.

    you hear ever coach say it's a players league. even your boy pop says it all the time. and you always hear players say "it's on us as players to win these games."

    The key to the game is Gallinari. Lou Williams will show......Montrezl Harrell will show......Gallinari....?

    This would be a good game to "Polish Middle' btw.

    I was a supervisor at Devereux from 1995-1999. That place was crazy!

    You need players AND coaching. When the lunatics are running the asylum you get Thunder-Blazers.
