I didn't watch until the 4th. Seemed like it at least got them back in the game. Jones looked worse than Howard on the line.

I just don't know what to think of the Spurs. Every time I watch this year, they don't look very good. But they sure beat up on the bad teams.

Jones has been a pleasant surprise, but he is a disaster at the line. Howard, of course, missed two FTs inside the final minute that would have gone a long way towards putting the game away. In fairness, you could tell he was exhausted given the extended minutes and 9 intentional fouls.

I don't understand the Spurs either. Their first two losses to the Rockets were in the Rockets' type of game. Last night's was uglier. They were horrible in the 2nd half of their last game against the Thunder, and the same is true of Sunday's Heat game. I want to think they're over the top, but I fear they'll get their act together when it matters.

That being said, I don't think under any circumstances will they win a 7 game series with OKC.

I dont think your giving your team a fair shake here. Everyone being healthy, that would be a war with OKC and Im not positive OKC wins it.

Houston will be underdogs to get through the Clippers in the 1st rd.

If it ended today
OKC vs Dallas
SA vs Golden State
Port vs PHX
LAC vs Hou

I'd take OKC in 5
SA in 6
Port in 5
LAC in 7

Good first quarter. Miami blitzed them and OKC fought back? OKC might be in trouble though, Durant two early foukls and Lebron checking him well.

I dont get the hand wringing about the Spurs? It is January not April. They are missing key players like Leonard, Green and Splitter. They often rest their best guys by not playing them or playing them less than 30 mins a game. Popovich is clearly not squeezing on them too hard, he does this every year. When the playoffs come Duncan and Parker will play more than 25-30 mins a game and Patty Mills and Corey Joesph wont be putting in 28 mins and 22 mins.

It isnt as though they have to figure out how to fit the pieces together in the regular season.

Plus PG1985 hates their chances which basically pencils them into the Finals
