Brans defense is no where near elite anymore unlike shump and I'm not even going to post what his three point percentage is(shocking low)  and he gets all the credit?  How many times this post season has the cavs bench extended or got a lead without bran,  only to lose it again when he comes in and stops the ball movement.  Bran is great,  best player in the NBA but to say he is doing this alone is bs and bran would tell you that himself.

Don't ever bring up the Bengals, I mean Clippers in a basketball discussion.  LeBron, Wiggans, Young, Rubio, and KG in a walker would dismantle the Rockets.  The Spurs are due for a rebuild.

I didn't say they'd come out of the West, just that they'd (the T Wolves + James) make the conference finals....  Every year.
