Playoffs Discussion

[KiwiMatt]

I've been watching as many of the games as possible and there are a few things that I would like to comment on:

*It's clear the Wolves didn't deserve to make the playoffs this year. Even if we did I couldn't see us pushing SAS or OKC to game 7 as Dallas and Memphis did.

*Two best series of the first round = POR vs HOU and LAC vs GSW. Nothing between them and it's sad to see 2 of them get eliminated while weaker teams in the East progress.

*How important has bench scoring been: Guys like Jamal Crawford, Marcus Thornton, Manu Ginoblili and Jordon Crawford being major contributors off the the bench. The Wolves simply didn't have a player on the roster like this who could come in off the bench and light it up.

*Western Conference >>>>>>>> Eastern Conference. The in balance of conferences is ruining the playoffs. I think it's time they moved on from the West / East format in the playoffs and match ups be determined by overall record.

*LAC vs OKC will be a great series. Paul v Westbrook and Ibaka vs Grifiin are two individual matchups are looking forward to. OKC in 7 my pick with Durant being the difference.

*How good has Steven Adams been! 5 blocks the other night. Not to mention annoying the opposition to the point of throwing punches at him. NZ represent :)

Matty, good to see NZ represent. And aren't you happy Dwight Coward is going home again early?

Steven Adams >>> Fright Coward

Raise your hand if you said OKC wouldn't trade for Kevin Love because "Ibaka's too valuable" to that team.
