Four Thoughts After Round 1 of the Playoffs




1. Anyone can win the West - I can easily make a case for all four teams left to win the West.
(A) Spurs - Tony Parker needs to play better, and they need scoring from Kawai Leonard
(B) Blazers - Need their Bench to give them anything and have their stars play keep playing like stars.
(C) Thunder - Less shots from Westbrook,need someone from their Bench to be consistent
(D) Clippers - Need to play hard at all times, and get consistent Low Post Scoring from Blake 

2. The Rockets need a new coach -I thought Mchale blew the series, it was a terrible idea to start Terrence Jones and it took him 2 full games to make the adjustment, and then you lose the series because you can't defend for 0.9 seconds? I know fans who saw Damian Lillard's shot think it was  great, and it was, but real Hoop Heads know that you are supposed to switch all screens in that situation. What the hell is Chandler Parsons doing?

3. Pacers might be out of Jail - I thought it was tough Match -up for the Pacers in Round 1. Their not really that deep and they weren’t able to play their best lineup together because Hibbert couldn’t stay on the floor. In the next round against Washington I think they have a much better match up and should play a lot more free. 

4. The Champs are vulnerable. - I don’t think Miami is nearly as good as they have been the last 3 years. They have no real depth, no Point guard and no Big Men, this is going to be the King’s biggest challenge this year. If he can do it the chase for MJ’s greatest ever spot officially begins.
