2014 NBA Playoffs: 2nd Round

CP3 has still never been to a conference finals. He still got dominated by Dwill every time Utah matched up with New Orleans.

Difference is injuries, Dwill got traded to a team that the roster didn't fit his talents, and CP3 got traded to a team with a top 3 PF.

You should look at the recent decade and count the teams that made it to the conference finals in the West that were poorly coached.(I said West because there's Mike Brown's LeBronland Cavaliers x2). New Orleans had some pretty good players. They had a mostly healthy Tyson CHandler, who was the 2nd most important piece on the Mavs championship team (tied with Trix and Jet). David West was the 2nd best player on last year's Eastern finals team that demanded everything out of South Beach.
But they also lacked other complimentary players and their head coach was Byron Scott. In his first two years in LA it was Vinny del Negro(prolly only hired by Don Sterling for his last name...).

You'll notice it's pretty hard to advance in the playoffs when your head coach doesn't teach defense and generally has little clue about what he's doing. Ask the Rockets and McHale.

I fear that Scott Brooks may also be not good enough to coach the Thunder to win it all. But that might be also a case of: There's really no production there outside of Durant/Westbrook/Ibaka/Jackson. But I always felt he'd have done more getting the most out of his guys. And if it's running Durant Ibaka PnR/PnP for 48 min straight then so be it.
 
Those kevin hart commercials making fun of kenny, chuck, shaq, and ernie are pretty funny
 
A few years ago i though rachel nichols was attractive
 
Porty letting the old dudes off the hook.

They're playing the Jazzfennse. All jumpers. I have no idea why LA is staying out on the perimeter on splitter.

That's why Miami will win it all. No one puts so much pressure on a defense as they do. Constantly attacking the rim and drawing fouls. Teams who live in the paint win championships. Teams who live by the jumper die by the jumper.
