12-13 Playoffs - SPOILERS INSIDE

Westbrook could have made a difference in the series? Losing him certainly took a big equation out of the way they played. Intriguing rematch may be on the cards for the Spurs/Memphis WCF. I don't know who Miami would rather meet in the Finals, Memphis or SA. Gasol and Randolph would eat up Miami down low, just completely devour them...Spurs on the other hand, everyone on their team can make big buckets...Parker, Ginobili, Duncan for sure, but Leonard and Green have been solid. Add a big body in Tiago who can pass well and it's a tough match up. I think for the second year in a row, even if Miami makes the Finals, they wouldn't be seen as favorites to win it.

Don't give up on Golden State yet!!
 
Firstly, Miami will be favourites whoever they play. They have the reigning MVP and Finals MVP and have home court advantage (if they make the Finals of course).

Secondly, sorry James, time to give up on GS;) should be a great game 6 though. I'm hoping the Spurs can sneak home by 2 pts with Curry just missing a game winner:)

I find it tough to predict Spurs series being a Spurs fan, I usually go in favour of the other team so I don't get so let down. I've had Memphis to win the West from the start so I'll stick with them, such a tough team. But if it is going to be Grizz vs SA, what a grind that series will be. Tough to call. Could go down to a key injury. Since the Spurs lost to them in the 1st round a couple of years back though they've had the wood on the Grizz.

If it's Indy vs Miami, I'll go with Miami in 5.

Both series will be friggen great. And if somehow GS can go through then I will enjoy seeing all that yellow in their crowd. What an atmosphere.

It will be an interesting series benny boy. Be very different this time though, duncan wont have to defend gasol which means randolph will have a tougher time. Like the heat the spurs average play is better than their opposition average play. Both teams will play great at some stage but i think the spurs average is just a little better if that makes sense. The defense of leonard and sanchez green was all defensive worth in the golden state series. But memphis have some great defense in gasol, prince and allen too. Someone better fix manu's shot because he is putting up bricks at the minute!!
 
2nd quarter and it's already looking bleak for NY...getting outrebounded and outhussled and too much offense having to rely on the jumpshot..
 
Downer of a game.

Perhaps this is the emotion talking but I am really disappointed with Woodson for the following:

1. When defensive confusion reigned supreme early (nobody defending the ball) he refused to turn to his more experienced defender until too late
2. When J.R started to have a brain meltdown in the second quarter he just stared angrily but still didn't have the balls to pull him from the game
3. Late in the game the only coaching thought he could muster was "give it to Melo". I'm a fan of Melo and believe you have to give him the ball but how about calling some actual plays

Sorry guys, many may disagree but I don't think Woodson has what it takes to reign in the egos he has on his team.
