Dallas didn't run through OKC. If it wasn't for an epic melt down at home where they blew an enormous lead who know what would have happened? Also the team is full of young players who are all better then they were last season. You just don't want to give them the credit they deserve.

I already called them the favorite. I just don't think they have done anything to show they're going to run away with it.

And Dallas won 4/5 games didn't they? A near sweep.

The Final 4 will be-

Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat
Oklahoma City vs San Antonio

Being realistic. The only other thing I can see happening is the Lakers in for the Spurs. Nothing else is realistic.

Lol, nothing else is realistic. Yeah Memphis and Dallas totally couldn't be there instead of SA. Memphis would eat the Spurs alive just like they did last year

Depends on the seedings. I think the Spurs finish 2 and Memphis 6 which means they don't play each other. Anyway Ginobli was injured for that series.

Crazy how Durant is an MVP candidate, but there is also a good chance he may be 2nd team all NBA.

Lebron, Durant, and Love are having great years.

Yeah also crazy that LeBron could be 2nd team all NBA.

Also weird that Westbrook could be 1st team and not KD. Or both could be 1st team.

PG and SF are both stacked. C is thin and has been for a while. Shockingly SG is a little thin too.

Yeah local radio guys brought up the point of who in the hell will be 3rd team Center? It's going to be a joke. You have Howard at 1, Bynum at 2 and then???? Marc Gasol? Averaging like 15 and 10?

Just looked. Al Jefferson is averaging 19.5 and 9.5. Maybe he gets the 3rd team C?

Gortat or Cousins maybe.

He is listed as a C.
http://espn.go.com/nba/team/depth/_/name/utah/utah-jazz

He's been a C basically his whole career.

So I guess the running for 3rd team All NBA is Jefferson, M.Gasol and Polish Hammer. Weaksauce.

Thunder could have 2 NBA 1st team players, MVP and Defensive Player of Year.

The 1st team will be-

Parker
Bryant
Durant
Lebron
Howard

Howard gets All-D. Durant or Lebron MVP.

I think Westbrook has a great shot at 1st team. Serge has a great shot a D-MVP with his # of blocks. I think Serge has a better then 50/50 chance of winning the award this year.

Harden has the 6th man award already locked away.

That is a cert, he is hands down the best 6th man. The guy is a player!

1. Parker will not be first team.
2. Bynum has not locked up 2nd team.
3. Al Jefferson is like 6'9". Are we sure he's always been a full time C?
