OKC has the path of least resistance. I hate the media calling it easy. They treated the regular season the right way and earned their pathway.

"DEVOID", ya imbecile…Not "VOID".
Read a book…A "VOID" is a noun.
Spurs vs Suns first round has potential for a dog fight, Booker going on a MJ type run again
If PG DOES HAVE 13 THIS PLAY IN GAME? HE BETTER HAVE 13 REBOUNDS AND 5 STEALS AND ALSO 8 TO 10 ASSISTS TO BOOT. š¤š¤š¤š¤
Harden is fools gold ..
Really looking forward to the Suns-Blazers game. Both teams were terrific when healthy.
Not to sound nitpicky, but could you turn Adam and legs down during the music intro? Sometimes small noises from the interrupt the intro
many say that Minnesota is a dangerous opponent for Denver..that's true but at the same time it's not really when we're talking about the playoffs!! in the last three years, their biggest success is the victory against Denver..but looking at the last playoffs and the whole season, we can't praise them so much because the first serious team they encountered destroyed them while they beat last year's poor Lakers and Warriors..a whole season has passed in which they didn't shine and now they enter the new playoffs against the nervous Nuggets who want the title..so I don't see how they could repeat the success of two seasons ago in the second round against Nuggets when we still take considering that the Nuggets underestimated them throughout that playoff and that MPJ, as a reliable shooter, totally failed in the last two playoffs overall!!! I don't know, but it seems to me more and more that they have nothing against the Nuggets, especially since Ant has not played for a long time..something really bad would have to happen to Nuggets if they didn't pass Minnesota like this!!
Hornets only beat the Heat when Bam was out
