![]() I mentioned the few big games yesterday. Houston was impressive. Disapointed yet again with Golden St. I should also clarify something from last week. I think Indiana is a great team. I think they would win the West if they were in that conference. I prefer Miami because I do believe they have the ability to turn it on, turn it up play great D and be better then Indiana. Plus they have a few wild cards this year with Oden and Beasley. Former #1 and #2 overall picks. But as of now, Indiana is the much better team. Miami has to improve and they have to be able to flip that switch, or they are in big trouble. As for the above stats, the Clippers and Spurs are most telling IMO. I feel like the Clippers dont play good against good teams. This stat kind of confirms that. I feel like San Antonio is a horrible matchup for certain teams like Golden St, Houston and OKC. That stat proves that also.

![]() San Antonio is a horrible match up for OKC? What exactly points to that? Is it OKC winning 8 of the last 10 head to head that makes you think that, including 2-0 this year with a thrashing in SA?

The Rockets game last night was terrific and helped them exorcise some demons from last week's 2nd half debacle vs. OKC. I have felt all along that the Rockets are a bad matchup for Portland, as their lack of defensive intensity sets up a team loaded with outside shooters with tons of open shots. Aldridge is tremendous, but he has now been just a bit below his best twice when matched up with Dwight Howard. I'd love to see Houston-Portland at some point in the playoffs. |

The game was fun last night. I hope it wore down Portland a little for tonight. In the late game, Golden State was disappointing.

![]() Absolutely. Beverley was a real spark last night and made good plays when Portland cut it to single digits. He is a solid defender and a good 3 point shooter. He's a tremendous find by Daryl Morey, and he makes about 10% of the man who backs him up.

![]() You have it backwards or I said it backwards. I feel like those teams are all better in a 7 game series then the Spurs. The matchup is wrong for the Spurs is the point I was trying to make. Young, athletic teams. Other then Lebron, Miami is not athletic. Spurs matched up well last year with Miami.
