Do you think Howard is going to leave Orlando when he gets a chance? I know about every team in the league has room for a DPOTY and dominant young center. I would say more teams will go nuts over him then when Lebron was shopping around.Lostboy1224
I think he will leave in 2012

I don't know what happened to the spurs but the grizzlies are playing with fools gold...not to mention the refs are giving them every call. They're gonna have their bubble bursted when they play the thunder.

I feel bad for the Spurs.

And just like that, Lakers are the #1 seed!

It's ridiculous. It doesn't even matter what the Spurs do to him...they can try double teaming him all they want but he's still making everything.

The Grizzlies look good now but the Thunder have probably looked the best out of any team in the playoffs.

I'd be shocked if the WCF wasn't Lakers/Thunder. And I have no idea who would win that series.

He's definitely almost unstoppable in fourth quarters. Being double-teamed isn't doing much on him. :D

You are probably right... but Tony Allen on Westbrooks and Battier on Durant... could be better then expected.

Love this! I also admitt I was wrong, I was picking a Spurs/Lakers WCF. I do however love that Richard Jefferson wins nothing again, just cant stand him.

Thats too bad. Memphis/OKC would have been so much more entertaining with him.

Okay, the Spurs lost. Will the analysts on NBA TV (mostly on "Gametime") stop using the quote: "Never underestimate the heart of a champion"? Whenever they talked about the Spurs, somebody said this line. Jesus.

Zach Randolph is simply cold blooded. Memphis was the better team and they will be very good for years. Gasol could be better than his brother. Memphis won due to their interior defense. Has nothing to do with how good Randolph and Gasol did on offense. All to do with their defense. Shutout Parker and Ginobili from going in completely.

Seriously tho I think the next series will be a preview of whats to come for years in the west between Memphis and OKC.

Oh and congrats to Memphis.

What?...Mark is a decent player but let's face it he will never be Pau. Lakers got the better brother, simple as that.

LOL Pau is not as good on defense as Marc. Marc is young, give him time to shape his offensive game more.

I didn't say anything about defense...I'm saying overall Pau is clearly the better player...granted he's taller than Marc so I guess that gives him an advantage...still you can't help how tall you grow.

You are comparing the skills of someone in the league for 10 years (Pau) to someone who is in his third year (Marc).

All I said was he could be better and that he has better defensive skills. Which is a fact.

I agree with you... and never disagreed with you on this matter... that was a reply to Widcat who said "I'm saying overall Pau is clearly the better player."

Should have gotten on that boat, they've been closer to a championship than the Cowboys.

They've been closer than the Dodgers and Kings too... sad.

I did not say Marc should have the level of skill to that of someone of ten years...I just stated that pau was currently the better player because Put_in_Kinta said Marc might be better. I wasn't saying Marc sucked, just that pau is better...which ya he has more experience.

I guess the Tim Duncan era is finally coming to a close. If you are a number 1 seed and can't make it out of the 1st round it doesn't look good for the last few years of a career. Oh well, he has plenty of championships to think fondly on so I guess next stop is the HOF.

Yes, Pau is currently better, but not by much IMO.

I think they have a few more years left. They just need new pieces. Keep the big three, develop the newer players like Hill, Blair, Neal, etc., and get some more big men in there. Splitter has potential to develop since he's still young but they need more big men to help Duncan. It was a bad match up. It happens like when the Warriors beat the Mavericks a few years ago.

I must be a huge Miami Heat bandwagoner. I've lived in South Florida my whole life, but in the suburbs of Miami. I actually live 30 minutes north of Miami. I'm not a true Heat fan I suppose.

Tony Allen or Conley. Tony Allen was the guy that gave people like D-Rose and Manu a hard time.
