Playoffs III

Ya  I wasn't able to put up a Playoffs II, but in case you're wondering I picked the OKC LAL, and MIA IND series correctly.

Playoffs III

OKC SAS 
The best series thus far in the playoffs. Finally two talented well playing teams playing against each other. No more games of 'old team' trying desperately to slow down 'athletic team' to a boring pace. As much as I hate OKC for stealing the Seattle Supersonics, I hate the Spurs even more for what they did to the Suns year after year, after year. It pains me to say this: The spurs are a well-oiled machine, a run away locomotive, a fat chick at a buffet, nothing can stop them. They remind me of the Mav's from last year. Everyone knows what they're doing, and when to do it. And they have a great coach (and interviewee).
Spurs in 5 games of holy crap I hate the Spurs.

MIA BOS
MIA in 5

*Editors note - Fuck the Celtics. Fuck the Spurs, Fuck Mr. Bennet. And fuck the playoffs. Besides Clippers Grizzlies, how many good series' have we had? Thanks for the fucked of season/playoffs commissioner Stein. 

DLF Part II

Lakers get by Denver (barely) and now face OKC... Here we go

DLF: So do you have LAL in 5 or 6?

Me: OKC in 5

DLF: Pfft get outta here. Pau and Bynum alone takes it to 6. Kobe is good to push it to 7.
DLF: Plus have you seen MWP? Dude is on a mission.
DLF LA is a good match up with OKC. They have Perkins not manimal.

Me: You also have Kobe who sucks.
Me: And no bench.
Me: Zero bench.
Me: Negative bench.

DLF: Ya something like that, We had no bench last series too
DLF: We had no bench all year.

Me: Weren't LAL supposed to beat Denver easily?

DLF: Ya but Bynum got lazy and overconfident. He has no reason to do that this series since he's the underdog.
DLF: Plus didn't the Celtics get pushed to seven games in their first two rounds in 2008 when they should have crushed those teams, but then cruised by the last two rounds and won the championship.
DLF: Sometimes its about match ups and not how good the team actually is.

Me: Are you really bringing up the 2008 Celtics?
Me: How are the Lakers a good match up with a team that crushed them twice during the regular season?

DLF: What killed us against Denver were their bigs have a lot of energy and that killed our lazy pussy bigs. But all OKC has is Ibaka.
DLF: The rest of OKC's bigs are slow like our bigs.

ME: The whole Lake Show is slow.

DLF: Pfft, not Sessions homie.
DLF: Plus Denver was way deeper than OKC. OKC plays Mohammed and Fisher.
DLF: FISHER!!! Dude got cut from our team.

Me: You don't need a great bench to be LAL, you just need A BENCH.

DLF: You can cheat off Fisher and double Harden. You couldn't cheat off anyone on Denver.

ME: I can't believe you brought up the 2008 Celtics.

DLF: I mean do you think that if a team struggles a weak team they'll automatically get crushed by a better team?
DLF: Because never has a team struggled with a weak team and then put up a fight against a better team.

Me: I'd say its likely.

DLF: If we had MWP we woulda beat Denver sooner.
DLF: You need to admit MWP is a big upgrade from Barnes.

Me: That's not saying much.
Me: I still don't see how OKC is a good match up for the Lakers.

DLF: Their bigs are slower than Denver and their bench isn't as deep.
DLF: Yeah their overall talent is better but I'd say our starting 5 can hang with theirs as long as Bynum and Gasol stay engaged.
DLF: Their bench won't kill ours as much as Denver did. *

Me: Are you watching the game?

DLF: Naw. Was gana watch the 4th.

Me: Ohhhh now this is making sense.

DLF: Is it bad?
DLF: Just saw it on ESPN. OKC up 31.
DLF: Its cool, just one game...

* Editors note: Lakers bench 26, OKC 50.
