Just checked the LV odds.  Heat are favorites at 11-10.  Next are spurs at 2-1.  I forget the OKC odds but the Pacers...HA...they are 10-1.

Did you all hear what Lance Stephenson said about D-Wade?

Looking ahead to his matchup with Wade, beginning in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Sunday (3:30 p.m., ABC), Stephenson revealed that making Wade’s problematic right knee “flare up” is part of his strategy.

“D. Wade — I think his knee is messed up, so I’ve got to be extra aggressive and make him run and have him running around and make his knee flare up or something,” he said after the Pacers practiced this afternoon. “I’ll do anything as much as possible.”

 

Yeah, Tonya Harding approves.

Couple things...

 

1) Indiana could not miss from 3 point land.  Could.  Not.  Miss.

2) Miami was sh!##!ng their pants about Hibbert.  They would drive, see Hibbert, start crying and instead of attacking they would try to pass out.  Indiana got a huge number of steals from this AND Miami never drew any fouls.

I think it is time for Oden.  Seriously.  Put Oden on the left block.  High pick and and pick man steps out for a 3 while the ball handler drives.  If Hibbert leaves Oden to come defend the rim it is an easy alley-oop every time.  If Hibbert doesn't then it is a lay-up/foul.  And if Hibbert hesitates at all he will end up fouling.

Not even sure what OKC are supposed to do at this point. They might get 1 game out of sheer talent, but no more

 

 

I love to watch coach Pop at the post game press conference.  :smile: When will the reporters learn not to ask dumb questions. By the way, did you guys see Russell Westbrook in the 2nd quarter? He couldn't do ANYTHING right! XD

 

It blows my mind how much the loss of Ibaka has completely thrown OKC.  Brooks needs to figure something out quick.

Brooks? Figure something out??!! HAHAHA

Even if he does miraculously recover, he won't be anywhere near top shape. And he won't solve all their problem like magic either.

He alone might be closer to a 10 point difference, but considering how he will affect their rotations it could cause a trickle down effect, if you will.

Aiight, so let's lay down our predictions for the next game....

 

I say, if Serge returns, it is a big difference. 

 

To the tune of final score, SA - 96, OKC - 92

103-91 OKC's offense will do alright. Durant and Westbrook have no choice but to perform. But their defensive problems won't be solved.
