Caught the new Godzilla with my girlfriend last night, I will spoiler my thoughts.

K Love would be awesome in LA though. Let's be honest, he's a wasted talent in Minnesota that isn't going anywhere. At least in LA, him and Kobe can give the Clips a run for their money and plus he will bring in a humble attitude.

Bill Simmons taught me everything I know.

Nah man, its all good. Were all ball fans here. My comment did come off worse than I had hopes too. Love ya all.

Btw Ben, I'm just giving you a hard time. I see Indy taking two games tops maybe from the Heat. They're just too good in a conference that is medicore at best. Only a team from the west has a chance at taking out Miami in my opinion, and that's gonna be either LAC or OKC. Both can go into their bench (LA has an amazing bench imo - best in the NBA) and still hang with the Heat which is what a team is going to need. Spurs old legs, I just don't think they can last seven games and still be fresh down the stretch with their old age. That forces their bench to play a little more and a little harder and that's where things will go downhill.

Tell me how the Nets are gonna do Ben? Tell me again how they're gonna do? Because if the best chance of beating the Heat is a team taking one game, this should be a pretty easy playoffs for the defending champs.

For alllllll those people who dished out likes but didn't know a damn thing about basketball. I knew the Nets would have no chance in blue hell. When your number 3 and 4 guys (Pierce and KG) are on the brink of retirement and couldn't get it done two years prior on a pretty damn good team... Then again, Tim Duncan will probably be saying hello again in the finals. Which is what I love about the Spurs. You think they're too old every single year, but they're always atop the West. Duncan is easily one of the greatest of all time.

Let's not forget though that Westbrook heaved up the three at the end of game 5 as well and it almost went down. I've heard people saying KD was open on the play, but I didn't see it... Then again, had Westbrook made that, the Clips could be eliminated today. Lots of "what if's".

I gotta echo the statements on how awesome that last scene was. I wasn't sure if it was just me, but apparently not. Gave me goosebumps.

Not surprised the Pacers won. I didn't see them leaving Indy without at least one win under their belt. I expect the series to be 2-2 heading back to Indiana. As for the Thunder, I'm a bandwagon Clippers fan. I do like who they have and enjoy watching them, but they aren't my team (used to be the Nuggets in the Melo era. Go 'Cuse). I was happy to see OKC win after Durant's speech. I think that could be the moment that turned their season back on the right path. Squeaked out the series against Memphis, now it's time for them to buckle down and play ball. Either way, the West really is up for grabs. I could see the Spurs and Blazers in the Finals just as much as OKC and LA right now.

KD's MVP victory speech was something else, That shit was incredible.

To be honest I'd be surprised if I could actually name more than ten characters just watching the show. I can recognise most of them by appearance, though not all, but there's no hope of me remembering even half of the names. That's how I am. And at that, there are so many minor characters that come into play as main characters at some point, it's hard to be like oh yeah, I should definitely try and remember this guys name. You've gotta think, with reoccuring characters and all, there's probably a good 25-30 names to remember. And it's not like all their names are just Todd, Rick, Steve. Arya, Daenerys, Sansa, Tommen are just a few names that are hardly "easy" to remember. Hell, Oberyn? Like c'mon. Yeah the main guys are easy to figure out and remember, but with the likes of Locke, I don't even remember them saying his name.

My problem is that I try to get so succumbed into a world that it leaves me begging for more. For the longest time, I played on EWR, and am currently using it for my 2006: Big Time diary, but I want the out of world stories to keep me interested. RVD revealing he has a drug problem, yada yada, stuff that makes me feel like I am playing a game as opposed to just simulating out a story, and that's what TEW '13 does I feel. My only gripe with that is the week system - as opposed to actual day system - leaves so many openings. I try to keep everything as real as possible. From the arena and venue that was used on that day, to the day of the PPV's. So when I get week 1 RAW, it kind of takes out the "realism" aspect if you will for me. I want to try and get a diary going where people feel immersed by the diary, like it's actually a part of the world where anything can happen, as opposed to "Oh, here's a few possible spoilers. Someone married an unknown daughter of Linda McMahon!". The other thing, is I always feel I can write better. I know my word don't translate as well from brain to keyboard to page, so it kind of always gets to me. I can finish a show and post it, but then after know that I probably could've done better. Expanding my vocab is something else I want to try and do too, so it doesn't feel like the same repetitive lines over and over again. As for my motivation, even though I've gotten blasted for it in the past, smoking weed really puts me in a mood to write. I feel I am much more creative and can come up with unique and interesting ideas I usually don't think of. So if I were to smoke tonight, I would probably write out a show. Then I would do the same tomorrow and want to write again, almost making my biggest positive into a negative because it makes me want to continuously write.

I forgot all about Jeremy Lamb! Yeah, you guys do have a pretty solid bench. Does Perry Jones see any minutes at all?

It's hard to not love the Clippers bench though. Darren Collison, JJ Reddick, Danny Granger, reigning sixth man of the year Jamal Crawford. They really have one of the best overall teams in the NBA in my opinion. It's gonna come down to the forward play, and more importantly, Serge Ibaka. Blake has been the catalyst for the Clips recently and if Ibaka can stop that, I think OKC will come out with the win. I however have the Clippers in 6.

Eh fuck it, nevermind.

Shit, I don't know how I missed that But in all seriousness, I quasi-agree. If the Pacers can play at the level they are capable of, I think they take the cake. But, if they look like they did against the Hawks, I see Miami in 5.

The way I see it, Pierce and KG couldn't get it done in Boston two years ago against the Heat, and they're only getting older. Also, fun fact is that in two series that the Heat have played Brooklyn all time, the Nets have only taken one game from them. Except that Brooklyn have beaten the Heat every time this season. That's true, but as others have said, it's the regular season. If you think LeBron, Wade, Allen, Bosh go out there and play with the same intensity that they do in the playoffs, you're crazy. I don't care who swept them in the regular season, this is the 2x defending champions with LeBron James. Not a Dirk, not a Tim Duncan, LeBron James. You know, the guy who is trying to prove that even though he didn't win the MVP (here, for everyone that says otherwise) wants to prove he is one of the best of all time. And let me remind you that they just went seven games with a game, yet playoff inexperienced Toronto Raptors and squeaked out a victory by how much? One point? I think the Heat will be just fine.

Would say I'm surprised about Toronto being down at the half, but I can't be. Brooklyn is loaded with veterans like Pierce and KG who thrive on game sevens and Toronto is a very young team with little to no playoff experience. Either team's gonna get stomped by the Heat anyways.

Toronto and Brooklyn will be good, but the Spurs/Mavs game is going to be awesome. Those are two teams that have represented the West well for the past ten/fifteen years.

All three home teams won their game seven. I'm telling ya, no matter what the series might say, home court advantage matters in any sport, but it matters most in a game seven. The emotion, the atmosphere, everything. Nobody wants to be on the road in a game seven.

Least not Z-Bo being suspended for Game 7.
