Well, That Was Fun Kids

I think the message has been sent.

if blake was on their team they would be jumping for joy!

But Griffin’s dunk was still amazing.

still need to sort out some bench issues before the playoffs. but we’re looking great.

I think there are a lot of those teams in the West though. Spurs, Lakers, Thunder, Mavs could all overcome homecourt advantage if they need to. If we are fully healthy and clicking, then we could beat any team and be very hard to beat 4 times in 7 games. It’s kind of like the Heat. When they are at their best, there is no team in the league that can stop them. That’s not something that can be guaranteed, but the possibility is always there.

I loved how Durant ran away to avoid getting posterized.

But, VDN can’t really do this night in and night out due to the schedule. But, our starters and Mo are extremely scary

Still doesn’t have an actual offense, but is doing much better with the rotation. Took Chauncey and Blake out early so he could put both back in when it was time to rest CP3 at the beginning of the 2nd quarter. Did a really nice job balancing minutes throughout. Also seems to finally be calling timeouts at the right time, as the other team is starting to make its run, rather than waiting for all the damage to already have been done.

I believe the enjoyment of a great dunk transcends team boundaries, it is like a fine art. And all that know the art of the dunk know how impressive this was.

It’s nice to have two teams to watch in LA, huh?

3 of our 5 starters are all veterans that are playoff tested. One has been in the finals twice along with 4 other conference finals appearances. The majority of the players are married with kids, so there is a higher maturity level and accountability to be responsible. In the past, we were incredibly young just winging it. This team has structure and mentors that can help develop Blake, DJ, Bledsoe, etc. to become more focused on the the tasks at hand.

Considering the team has no “superstars” and is a well oiled machine in that they distribute their scoring evenly, it’d be interesting if they got to the finals and pulled it off like the Pistons. However, I don’t think they’ll make the finals. OKC is a very good team and Sefolosha was injured. They may be overhyped, but I can see them going farther than Denver.

Instead of letting Blake’s junk wash all over his face like Mozgov did. Of course, that’s also what made this one even more impressive.

We have had a lot of time off in between games to practice, gel and prepare the players to compete and become comfortable with each other. At the same time, we have had to duke it out with very tough opponents. We’re learning on the fly, but are getting a truer idea of how the good the team is/can be. Billups, Butler, Williams and Paul have all missed games and we were able to win a few without them. It just helps us grow.

he said shut it down and let’s go home
