2012 CB Draft Western Conference Playoffs: (1) Mavericks vs. (8) Nuggets

[Roy H.]

Question for Roy:

What do you think of Denver as a city?

I lived outside of Denver for about a year, from about 18 months to 2 1/2 years old.  It seemed great.  I drove over the Rocky mountains once, which is a pretty mind-blowing experience.

Plus, I hear that Colorado has the least obese population in the US, so it's got that going for it.

For those who doubt whether Lebron James can defend PFs (which means, for those who didn't watch the NBA last year) here's Lebron on 7'0" Pau Gasol:

Pau put up 11 points on 4-of-10 shooting.  That's incredible.  Maybe we'll send Lebron out there at center.

That was uncalled for Roy

Pau is an elite post-player, one of the very best big men in the game.  Very few people can shut him down like Lebron did there.  There's no question about it, though:  Lebron absolutely did shut him down, just like he's going to shut down every other PF in this draft.

Here's Denver's roster according to the roster page:

Denver Nuggets: GreenFaith1819
Guards: Mike Conley, O.J. Mayo, Gary Neal, Nate Robinson
Forwards: Carlos Boozer, Mareese Speights, Trevor Ariza, Kyle Korver
Centers: KG, Zaza Pachulia

Question for Roy:

Could you keep making comments like this so people vote against you in spite?

Denver's silent gamesmanship here has me leaning towards voting Nuggets in this series. 

I think it gets into LeBron's head.  Nuggs in 7.

Since we continuosly post videos of Kyrie and Lebron dunking over the Celtics, and our press conference featured approximately 20 pictures of Lebron, we think we have definitely galvanized the spite contingent.

However, we know that the GMs of the CB Draft are above tanking teams just because they have a visceral dislike of their players.  Just ask defending champs nickagneta and Rondo2287.

Those are roughly Pau's playoff averages over the last two seasons haha.

Well, you won't hear we arguing that Ru Paul is a good defender. 

Unfortunately for the rest of the league, Pat Riley convinced Eric Spoelstra that Lebron should play PF, and he played it at a best-in-the-league level last season.

When Roy hobbs pokes the bear, he makes sure to dip the poker in magma first.

Question for Roy:

How do you think Carlos Boozer will fare in this series?

Haha, yeah i was hoping that more of those highlights were going to feature LeBron as opposed to Turkey Neck.

But seriously tho, why wouldn't Spo have switched LeBron onto Millsap AT SOME POINT in that game? I don't get that.  I guess i'll just ask him myself since i hired him.

Not terribly well.  Dallas has elite, long post defenders that will bother him.  Defensively, he doesn't have the athleticism or speed to keep up with any of Dallas' smaller players.

Seems like the Lakers were just about terrible at getting the ball to Gasol when Bron was fronting him. Just terrible.

Yeah, Spoelstra isn't my favorite coach in the league.
