Where can I get a good pic of you? I want to sub you in for D. Wayne. Its crunch time.
Miami who everyone is saying is a huge favorite to win the title "labored" with a team that had 4 key guys out. Memphis is a tough team that plays extremely good defense and has size. GS can't beat them. SA probably won't either.

You did not tell me where I can find a good pic of you.....
Heres how I look at it. Miami is kinda just messing around. Lebron, half the time does not appear to be looking to shoot. He seems to be having bad game, per Chuck Barkley.... But you check out the box score and he is 9/19 for 27 8 7. The guy is amazing. Indiana will beat Miami 2x. Miami in 6.
As for the West, I am not sure yet. I think GS wins tonight. I absoutley love them as a home dog. Who knows what happens in game 7. Ill just come out and say it, I dont believe in Memphis. Im not sold. Stephen A. Smith is. Today, he called them a legit threat to Miami. He says they can steal 1 in Miami and win 2 of the 3 at home. I dont buy that, thats if they even make it. Im of the belief that Miami wins this thing fairly easily even if Wade goes down for good. If Memphis proves me wrong, they do. I dont think Memphis makes it to the Finals. Again for the 15th time in this thread. The David Lee injury is a total shame. I was high on GS before these playoffs. I predicted they would beat Denver. He is not some scrub. He led the NBA in double doubles this year. What Golden St is doing without him and with Curry injured should not be overlooked. They are building something nice for the future. They remind me of OKC 3 years ago who took the first step by taking the Lakers to 7.

There are no good pictures of me.
Miami clearly is the favorite though IMO have played sluggishly because they got sucked into playing the type of game that Chicago wanted to play.
Indiana w/o Hill can easily lose the next two games. I'm not sure what to think about the Knicks since they seem to change 180 degrees from game to game.

Obviously your Golden State man-crush is over. Golden State is actually not in great shape moving forward as they are capped out, Jack and Landry are unrestricted FA, Bogut's health is always going to be an issue (of course as is Curry's) and they have no draft picks. Barnes could continue to improve as well as Thompson and Green but they don't have much else.

For what its worth. Miami over Indiana in 6 if its the Knicks its a sweep. San Antonio in 6.
Its not a man crush, I like young explosive teams. Im a fan of the game more than any team and Im a huge Lebron fan. In my slim days I used to be pretty dam good. I could fill up the stat sheet. I averaged 33-14-3-3 in CYO 7th-8th. Modified coach watched me play I made modified and I made JV at SHS. Tough, almost impossible to make that team. I had an NBA player as a teammate.
Anyway..... I dont think losing Jack or Landry is horrible. I also believe this is a soft draft. I mean Noel #1? I dont buy him at all. Cody Zeller got destroyed bad vs Cuse and he is top 7-8. The dude from Gtown, the big guy.... The Herd had a stat today....80% of his shot attempts were jumpers. What is he supposed to be?? An even worst Carmelo? I think this draft is bad.
Barnes took huge steps in the playoffs. Hopefully he is OK. I felt coming out he was the most NBA ready guy. Remember if he came out after his freshman year he was going #1. Him, Curry and Lee is solid enough. Clippers are not winning anything. Not with Blake Griffin and Jamal Crawford. Does anyone believe the Lakers are getting better? I respect Kobe, but what else do they have? THey wont go to Phil, and who knows if thats even an option anyway after the shots he took at Kobe. THis is Miamis league. This year and next. Rumor is they are in play for KG and Paul Pierce. 2 guys who might take way less and go get a ring. Plus Greg Oden is getting healthy and he would go to Miami, I read last week Pat Riley would take a chance. Point is, I love what Golden St is doing but for 2014 it wont matter. Lebron gets the 3peat.

It is too bad that so few people will see this post.

34-14-3-3. Is the last 3 steals, blocks, or turnovers?

I was leaning towards SA in 7 but the PG selection is going make it Memphis in 6.
Miami in 5.

I'll be damned. They must've kept the most meticulous CYO records ever if he's able to have averages for every category

This is RHT's best post ever. My son plays youth basketball and it's almost impossible to get someone to keep the scorebook but RHT's league has team statisticians. Thanks RHT for giving me something to laugh about on Monday morning.
