I just watched the last few minutes of the first half of the Blazers Warriors game. Man that young Blazers team just keeps coming at you. The more so watch them the more respect I have for the players coaching and the organization for putting that team together. I don't know if losing Myers Leonard is a big deal or not but they are missing him so that's something else to think about.

Heck of a game for the Blazers. One thing I think Curry doesn't enough credit for is his ball handling. Its better than it was last year and it was a pretty good skill for him then.

I think it can get lost because of the shooting... but he's largely considered right there with Irving as having the best handles in the game.

Even though it gets mentioned... Curry's ridiculous finishing efficiency around the rim also makes him so great.

Yeah I just looked at the different shooting zones on basketball reference. The worst one was 3-10 feet from the rim and he still shot .422% there and that's not bad. It's truly amazing the percentages he ended the season with including the volume of shots especially since he took well over half his shots from 3. Of course it's worth mentioning also that he shot nearly 80% of his shots either within 3 feet of the rim or behind the 3 point line.

I've checked the scores a couple times the last few minutes of the OKC Spurs game. wow there is a still a whole quarter of basketball left so you never know but...it's not looking good for the Spurs and Kevin Martin is getting some run.

OKC deserves credit. Their defense has locked down and that's really been a bit of a soft spot for them this season. I didn't expect this.

Oh yeah absolutely. OKC and the Cavs both had the talent to be really damn good but they both had their issues in the regular season. Both teams are stepping it up in the playoffs. Stephen Adams seems to be turning into a pretty nice player.

And now the Spurs are only down 13 with over 5 mins to go. Andre Miller doing his thing it looks like.

OKC over the Spurs in 6 games. I'm honestly shocked.

I wonder if I just saw Duncan's last game. OKC has surpassed the Spurs and I think this pretty much cements Durant staying in OKC.
