2013 NBA Playoffs

Having Bogut back is really going to help GSW limit or even negate Tim Duncan.

So does that mean my CB Draft team will make the Playoffs now?

Bogut only managed to play 32 games this year and even when available Bogut played well below his past level performance wise. 

No playoffs.

Yeah the fact that Bogut is suddenly playing like a difference maker again is really shocking.

Might be more valuable to have him playing this well than a healthy David Lee.

14 points, 21 rebounds, four blocks and three assists

At the time, though, the frustration was understandable. They were in the middle of tanking aggressively, despite Mark Jackson's Playoffs commitment, and they'd just traded a guy who was more or less their best player for another perennially injured "could be great" talent.

Remember, last season was when Steph Curry was on the bench for most of the year with ankle problems, and everyone was looking at his contract to start this year with reasonable suspicion.

If I was a Warriors fan, man would I be excited right now.

Can you imagine how good they might be in a year or two.  A healthy Bogut and Lee, with a more experienced Thompson and Barnes, lead by Curry is one scary lineup.

I honestly never thought I'd see THIS Bogut ever again.  Truly shocking.

Yeah, the Warriors have been one of my "League Pass/Other Conference" teams for a while. This is very exciting stuff!

You forgot Draymond Green, who quite possibly won the clincher for the Dubs yesterday with his very underrated play. And he can shoot now.

I was just explaining this to Lakers fans/friends from my motherland as they can't accept the fact that the Dubs could be the best in the Pacific for the years to come. So many young guys who can develop that could stay or be packaged to acquire another all star or superstar level talent. Steph CUrry, Mark Jackson and San Francisco can attract Free Agents as well.

If they play the Salary Cap game right and the young bloods develop, they could very well be contending in the West within the next three years, if not now.

It sounds like Tiago Splitter may miss the start of the series for San Antonio.

San Antonio will probably start Boris Diaw (Draymond Green) and then have DeJuan Blair (Carl Landry) and Matt Bonner (Harrison Barnes at PF).

Golden State's small lineups should be able to function quite well.

This thought could really hurt the warriors.

Sort of how the worst thing for the Hawks is when Smith hits his first two 20 foot jump shots.

Really? Ouch, I hadn't heard his injury was that bad.

Ok, so we've got four game sixes, each with the possibility of becoming a must-watch, with both sets of conference games occuring con-currently.

AWESOME! I LOVE FLIPPING CHANNELS!

I think it's just game one and possibily game two that Splitter is doubtful for.

I was looking for an update a little earlier on today but most recent report I could find was from 3 days ago. Splitter couldn't make it through practice and was considered doubtful for series opener. Boris Diaw was back on the court and is expected to play though.

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said he expects reserve forward Boris Diaw will be ready for the start of the second round, while the status of starting power forward Tiago Splitter remains unknown.

“(Diaw) did the whole practice,” Popovich said after Tuesday’s practice. “He seems to have come through it pretty good. I would think he’ll be available. (Splitter) is going to take a little bit longer, I think.”

Splitter, averaging 10.3 points and 6.4 rebounds in his first season as a regular starter, sprained his left ankle in the second half of Friday’s Game 3 victory. He is listed as indefinite, but the team’s medical staff provided an unofficial estimate of 7-10 days.

I'm getting an odd feeling DRose is returning for Game 7. You heard it here first.

Yikes. Blake Griffin didn't start tonight for the Clippers. Only 7 minutes so far midway through the third from him. Very bad situation for the Clips.

I was hoping LAC would stretch this to 7 but down in the third and with a banged up Griffin. Hard to see them pulling this one out.
