Make or Miss Podcast #11: Matching Up In The West
This week on the pod, Rob and I spend some time on the Pacers (note: this was recorded earlier on Thursday, so before the weekend and especially before Sunday's debacle. I'm losing some faith, but still am far more bullish on them then the general populace who seem worried about a series with either Charlotte or New York. Surprised if it went 6 against either.)
After getting that out of the way, we spent a lot of time talking about good and bad first round matchups, though sadly in 3 days a lot has changed between the Erman craziness in the Bay and this weekend's shake up of the bottom of the west that makes it look most likely that Dallas gets the 7 seed. Which has to please OKC to no end in both of our opinions.
Regarding stuff we talked about, this is Jacob Frankel's article regarding sample sizes and Indy's late season swoon. Apologies in advance to Rob for the delay in posting this if it makes him sound silly in any way. Well, that's not quite right, if it makes him sound sillier than usual in any way...I kid, I kid.
Any, pod is posted for listening/downloading below. As a bleg, if anyone has tips for an easy guide in terms of posting a podcast to iTunes, would much appreciate the link in comments.

Other stuff I've written and contributed to this week:
- A piece on Clipperblog comparing the offensive roles of Blake Griffin and Chris Paul since Paul's return from injury and what it shows about Griffin's continuing development.
- Related to an upcoming podcast guest, I think I picked up a possible shooting flaw in Gordon Hayward's shooting mechanics. Obviously, I feel a lot better about paying that man his money if he's a 40% 3 point shooter than 31% and a minor mechanical flaw seems fixable:
We also had looks at OKC's and Indiana's offenses and hope to tackle breakdowns of a few more playoff teams this week.
