The Los Angeles Clippers led by Chris Paul will be facing the Stephen Curry led Golden State Warriors in round 1 of the NBA Playoffs. I expect this to be a very exciting and likely a high scoring affair throughout each game of the series. I expect Chris Paul to continue to get the better of Curry throughout this series as he did in the regular season, averaging 28 points and nearly 13 assists in the regular season vs. the Warriors. Ultimately Im picking the Clippers in 6 or 7 but I have no doubt it could go the other way.

 

 

Starters:

Clippers                                                           Warriors

PG: Chris Paul                                                 PG: Stephen Curry

SG: Willie Green                                              SG: Klay Thompson

SF: Matt Barnes                                               SF: Andre Igoudala

PF: Blake Griifin                                               PF: Draymond Green

C: DeAndre Jordan                                          C: Jermaine O'Neal

Can't wait.  I live in the area now so I'll be at Monday's game.  Pulling for Curry but I am a CP3 fan as well.  Should be lots of fun to watch.  Surely they'll try to beat up on Blake but I don't think that works anymore.

CP3 is my 2nd favorite player in the NBA tied with Nick Young and behind LeBron

      I don't think it's necessarily selfless to make that trade. I think it's all in how you plan and if you can objectively view the player. You know you're going to have a new coach and be taking a QB in the draft. Whether or not he wanted to admit it, we were going to be beginning a rebuild with a new offense and new defense. Depending on the coach, Burns may not have even been a good fit for the scheme that coach wanted to run.  So, if you're not 1st, you're going to need to trade up. Burns likely is going to want in the 30m per year range. While an effective pass rusher, he was never a complete DE. He wasn't a JJ, TJ, Bosa, or Garrett. He was more Reddick, and while good, never going to be in that top tier contract caliber.  So the question becomes, knowing that you need a QB to go with a new coach, is it better to have your  23, 24 and 25' 1sts  extra 24 and 25 1sts an extra 23'2nd  and 30m aav of future contract cap space to get a QB and edge rusher  Or your 23, 24 and 25 1sts and a good, but not elite DE on an elite tier contract.  6 picks and available 30m AAV in cap space vs 3 picks and 0 extra cap space to get a QB and a good, not great, DE.  To me that is a simple answer and frankly one that could potentially save my job. You have to have vision and be able to recognize value. Fitts over valued Burns like many fans did. I think ultimately what cost him his job was 3 years of not being able to value players correctly. We saw it twice in the draft in 2 separate years when he panicked and couldn't read the draft. DJ Johnson and Matt Corral picks specifically come to mind.  I don't think it was about being selfless as much as being a strategist. Neither Rhule nor Fitts never struck me as very strategic guys. I think they were more let's throw poo at the wall and see what sticks. Unfortunately for the fans, none of it stuck, but it still all stunk.

      The issue is the formula is secret, and it incorporates runs... So... Yup, it does. Same with PFF (which isn't quite as secret). But when it doesn't - like on Sunday - it's often to hilarious results. PFF is more reliable I think at matching my 'eye' test.
