    Curry has shot worse against the Pelicans then against any other team in the West. They finally have everyone (relatively) healthy again. I don't expect them to win the series, but I do think they will steal a game or two.

          Spurs in 7 would be a good harbinger if last year's first round series against the Mavs is any indication, haha.

            Really, really like Harden at the 1 if Rondo gets big minutes though. Do they actually go to that often at all though?
            Man I sure hope that Parsons gets Harden to defend him so he can put up 20 every game.

            Not sure about Rondo, a lot of times Harris closes games instead of him but Harris has been injured recently and hasn't played much in the past two weeks or so, so Carlisle might elect to play Rondo instead.

            As for my predictions:

            Warriors in 6
            Mavs in 7
            Grizzlies in 6
            Spurs in 6

                Does Parsons have some type of big mismatch over Harden? I think he would struggle to beat him off the dribble

                  Did Harden suddenly become a lockdown defender? Parsons has been pretty good creating offense off the dribble this year. I have no idea why they would put a smaller defender on Parsons when you have Ariza and Smith.

                    I think of it as a pick your poison. Can't put him on Ellis, Harris or Dirk. It'll be interesting to see what they do.

                      Ah yes. It's time for ABC to have an artist and song that plays throughout the playoffs.

                      Can't wait.
