What the hell are you babbling about? Of course since I have been right this entire forum about EVERYTHING I am going to give you some crap. The fact that my original argument was your over valuing of Clippers and how you were blinded by their short comings because of a couple flashy dunks. Chauncey Billips loss wasn't going to change much. Sorry, he got off to a good start but he is 37 years old. And honestly was going to fade or get hurt.

When did I say the Lakers were going to win it all? I said the Thunder have been my choice since pre-season. And a road loss to the Heat by only three points when Durant had 9 TOs and Westbrook shot crappy while Lebron played out of his mind isn't changing that. I don't let one win or one losing streak or a fast start effect my view of things.

What I did say was that if anyone upsets the Thunder, I do believe the Lakers have the best chance. Because of their vast playoff experience and the advantage they have inside. Even though the Spurs have taken 2 or 3 from the Thunder I don't think they can beat them in the playoffs. The Spurs are a deep team built for the regular season. Not for the playoffs when teams shorten their bench.

And yes Kobe shooting percentage is down but so what? Sure he has driven me nuts some games. And everything you have cited about the Lakers offense I have posted in here 4 times before. Glad you finally caught up. Kobe has 5 titles, he will be more than fine come the post season. Not worried about it. But Sessions has made a huge differences in their offense, which I wrote about at length would happen if they brought in someone for Fish. Another reason I remained confident in the Lakers were the better team, they ultimately will make the right personnel decions. And the Clippers bring in players like Nick Young who does nothing to help them.

But it has to worry you a bit considering the Thunder have no real knowledge how to win in the playoffs. Experience is a huge deal and only Perkins and Fish have any on the Thunder. And they won't be shooting the ball more than 5 or 6 times combined. You can't say you have any real knowledge that they will rise to the occasion when they never have before.

But yes you are correct your post had everything to do with what was going on at that time. Thank you for making my point that you have been too caught up in the moment and struggle to see the bigger picture on this topic.

Stauder and I don't have wars. We just really enjoy each others opinion. However its my opinion you should spend more time reading how to get out of D5 and figuring out this complex game and less time reading about the NBA. Just a thought.

Ok got it, But the plain and simple truth is that the Thunder are better than the Lakers and the Clippers, and the Lakers and the Clipppers are a tossup.As far as using my status in this game as a measuring stick, thats ridiculous its just a game!!! nothing more, and believe it or not Obama doesn't play this game and guess what he's the president. Also I joined the beginning of this season and am in the playoffs with and up-and coming hall-of-famer 19yr old. But I'm still lying prostrate to you almighty D 3ers,I your humble servant is done with his rant now, please forgive him my Majesty.

Fun to see the Clippers relevant again. While they may not definitively be the best team in LA, great to see they're in the discussion though. Last time they've been relevant or in the discussion for best team in LA, might've been that one playoff run with Brand and Cassell.
