Playoff Predictions

East" 1. Bulls vs 8. 76ers Bulls win 4-1 This is a no brainer though the 76ers could give the Bulls a run for their money not enough to beat the Bulls.

2.Heat vs 7.Knicks A good series but the Heat are just to powerful they win 4-1

3.Pacers vs Magic A boring series in my opinion without D Howard Pacers win 4-1

4. Celtics vs 5. Hawks Celtics win 4-3 Great series gonna come down to the last game.

West: 1. Spurs vs 8. Jazz Spurs win 4-0

2. Thunder vs 7. Mavericks Thunder win 4-2 Gonna be a great series but too much speed on the mavs hand to handle the Thunder.

3. Lakers vs 6. Nuggets Lakers win 4-2 Lakers gonna have a hard time but they will get through to the next round.

4. Clippers vs 5. Grizzlies Clippers win 4-3 Gonna be a big game 7 but Lob City and CP3 will pull through.

What to think of Thunder's late Struggles.

Ok so the Thunder dropped annother huge close game at Staples yesterday and Westbrook was 2-32 and Durant was Cold in OT as well. The Thunder at one time had a 18 PT lead and at that point it looked over than Kobe Bryant happened. Now in the month of April the Thunder are 7-6 and most wins are against teams like the Kings and Raptors so now Thunder are in second and would now play Mavericks in first round. That is not who you whant to have to face in the first round even if you get out of that series the Thunder will be tired because it will most likely be a Game 6 or even 7 series. Westbrook needs to get his act together and for me the strategy for success in the playoffs is start Harden at PG and move Westbrook to 2 Guard Thunder still have great promise and optimisum going into the Playoffs we have the right tools just need to utilize them a little better and like all year LIMIT THE TURNOVERS!!!!....Just a though.

If Thunders meet Grizzlies in second round.

I have been watching a lot of NBA Shows and one in particular is Inside the NBA with Charles Barkley,Shaq,Kenny Smith and some other guy. Charles Barkley was going over the last games of the Thunder season and he said Thunder wont get out of second round and they will lose to Memphis here is why I highly disagree with him. First off the Thunder are 3-1 vs the Grizzlies this year so if this was a seven game series the Thunder would only need to win one more game so thats no problem. Also when things do start to get tough which just like last years seven game series with Memphis it did Durant will take over the game and show why he is the MVP. Westbrook will know when to take shots and when to pass which he has been improving at lately. My prediction for Thunder this year is the Thunder will lose in Finals I just think they need one more year to develop and get more mature they will lose to the Heat in 6 games but the whole Memphis thing I think they will be fine and get out of the west my only concern is the Spurs but the Thunder can handle them in 7 if the Spurs even get to the Conference finals they got trumped by the Lakers so maybe they dont get out of the second.....just a thought.

Ibaka or Harden?

Ok so the Thunder are a top of the West with 9 games left and everyone is jelling with each other but eventually down the road is a problem. Ibaka and Harden are UFA in the summer of 2013 and the Thunder might have to choose one to sign. In my opinion it should be Harden because of his ability to score off the bench and his versatilitie. He just to me has more to offer although Ibaka's amazing ability to block shots and his offensive skill is improving within each game. The thing is though Harden should in my opinion be our starting PG because of his ability to pass it greatly and Westbrook  needs to be put on the wing it would just be a great strategy for the Playoffs. Anyway Ibaka is a greaet player but if you let Harden walk away you will regret it. Hopefully the Thunder can find a way to keep both and keep this great core of players so we can win not one not two or three not four or five but six or seven titles in years to come....Just a thought.

Thunder Playoff situation.

The Thunder lost to the Heat last game by 5 points so they have now split the series 1-1 in regular season. The thunder have now dropped their last 2 for only the second time this year but I think when it comes to a seven game series and Thunder play Heat they win but that is why the home court advantage is so important and the Thunder need to stay ahead of Spurs who are two wins behind. I dont think though they get out of West if Westbrook keeps shooting more than Durant which I say every time I post something but its true. The Thunder need to prove they can beat the Spurts to win the West because both times the Thunder played the Spurs this year they lost both times by double digits....Just a thought.
