Way #6: Boxing Out

This list is turning out to be a reproduction of a Red on Blue Balls video.

Ick, I hate when this happens. Here's to hoping the Magic show up at the end.

Way # 7: Go back to dreaming.

THIS IS MY SHOW AND I WON'T BE HIJACKED. DON'T YOU DARE INTERRUPT ME AGAIN

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHOSE SHOW YOU THINK THIS IS! KNOW YOUR ROLE AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

THIS IS MY TIME. I'M THE CHAMPION AND I DESERVE YOUR RESPECT. NOW IF YOU, AND ALL THESE OTHER JEALOUS HUMANOIDS WOULD JUST SHUT UP I CAN GET BACK TO TEACHING YOU A THING OR TWO ABOUT ASSEMBLING A BASKETBALL TEAM

WOAHWOAHWOAHWOAHWOAHWOAHWOAHWOAH! SmartpopOrien is a teacher now? Where does KC enroll? "Smorgesboards and how to devour them with professor ZBO"? "how to grow pre-pubescent facial hair" With professor Gasol  ? SWEET CREAM ON AN ICE CREAM SANDWHICH! What in the blue hell kind of school are you running here?

Other playoff matchups take note. You all suck compared to this one right now.

It ain't even close.

Anyone have any H2H numbers on Aldridge/Gortat V Haslem/Noah?

Noah has become a guy I really respect defensively in the past year and a half. One of the top 3 defensive centers. But, he struggles against traditional centers. Is Gortat big enough to bully him? Is Noah quick enough to move onto Aldridge?

Danny Granger is going to struggle mightily against G.Wallace's defense.

You know, logically this makes sense, but historically in their careers Granger has done fine against Wallace.  He's averaging 20 ppg on 48.3% shooting (and 42.5% 3PT shooting), and has only averaged 1.9 turnovers.

I give Washington the slight edge in this matchup, and a fairly large edge with Aldridge.  It's going to come down to the backcourt mismatch, in my eyes, and to what degree Washington can mitigate it.

I wonder how much of that time Wallace was on Granger because Who is right, historically strong defenders with length give Granger trouble and push him out of his comfort zone.  Look at how many long 2s he was forced into in the Chicago series.

Miami series?

They played the Bulls.

A school that breed's success.

I need to be swayed one way or another, here. 

Riah, i could really use some fancy numbers thrown my way to help your cause, here.  GC running away with the breakdowns.

[StartOrien]

This could be a team that could give the Sixers some trouble with the zone.

That's what I meant.

Way # 7: Rudy Gay vs. Hedo Turkoglu

Way # 7: Rudy Gay vs. Hedo Turkoglu

The same Rudy Gay who has been to ever score more than 20 pts per is going to take over a series?

[Fafnir]

Did you respond to my question about your gameplan for this series? I didn't see anything specific in your write up, did I miss it.
