    Worried the crowd for game 7 is going to suck with too many of the real fans being priced out. Warriors need more from Ezeli defensively, guy has been playing like he's still a rookie due to coming back late in the season and not getting a lot of minutes since. But its time to man the F up...

    Fucking bullshit. Green assessed a flagrant, resulting in a suspension. I cannot believe the NBA a flagrant for that when Lebron threw Green to the floor, and then intentionally walked over him. Green tries to get Lebron off him, flails him arm, and because it was towards his junk its a...

    Warriors blew game 1 to put them in that position in the first place. Up 13 at the half, at home, with the Thunder looking like they wanted no part of it, and the Warriors came out in the second half with no energy or desire. But that's basketball, it's a game of runs. In the end the Warriors...

    Why should they have lost? They won 4 games in the series before OKC did, they're the better team. After going down 3-1 all they did was do the same thing against OKC that they did during the regular season. Win a home game, win an away game, win another home game. Played OKC 10 times this...

    I think Lebron trying to hero ball is what has brought them to this point. In game one he was relentlessly attacking in the post in the first half and I think he didn't rest a minute that half. This is backwards to what he should be doing. At the start of the game he needs to make sure his...

    That's why I wouldn't mind trading Noel if I were them for the #3 pick in this draft or so. Noel's rook deal ends the upcoming year, and I haven't seen anything special out of him to indicate he's a guy they must hold on to if he's going to cost that much. It wouldn't be terrible to pay him...

    Lol. Unless you're Durant, or Westbrook, or Harden, or Lillard, and anytime you approach the basket the whistle blows for you regardless of what happens. These guys still get star calls in the playoffs, and the point is that Curry never gets them.

    Her work isn't finished there. If she just leaves and lets the slaveowners go back to business as usual it defeats the purpose of all the time she's spent there. They seem to be foreshadowing that the Masters will be the ones to break the deal - Greyworm is warning Tyrion. The Masters will...

    Nobody is saying they'll collapse but their aura is going to take a hit. Tim Duncan has been the Spurs for the past 17-18 years. The last few years it's been as much about his leadership and ability to show guys how they need to conduct themselves in order to win as it's been about the...

    Not saying they weren't a great team. The Spurs were a great team this year. But their record, defense, and point differential made them look like an all-time great team by the numbers. With an average coach they're definitely talented enough to win 55-60 games - I'm saying Popovich turned a...

    It's funny reading some of the Spurs fans thinking this is on Popovich lol. Like they don't realize this old team overachieved against average competition this season because of how good he is. They just don't have enough plus players still in their prime at this moment to win a series against...

    I'm pissed. I just learned about this on a fucking Engadget article with the subtitle "One unit per turn is gone." I got so excited, thinking if one unit per turn is gone maybe they're going back to a lot of the core principles from IV, maybe even some features from 1+2. Then a little reading...

    Ellis for Bogut seemed like a great move right off the bat because the team was going nowhere AND it allowed them to tank enough to barely (i think by way of an unlikely Lakers comeback against us in the final week) keep their first round pick that year. Less obvious was how good the side moves...

    It's impossible to know. Immediately after the turnover it looked like going for a bucket right away was going to be the best option because it looked like the Spurs might get a layup out of it. At the moment Green got control of the ball there were 3 Spurs over half court and Stephen Adams...

    Lol yeah. If the Spurs had a timeout (I'm not sure, i think they did?) they wouldn't have called it cause that scramble play with the defense not being set up was their best chance to get a bucket. I'm surprised Ginobli didn't just take it all the way himself for another one of his many...

    Boston wouldn't trade Ingram for Okafor. They were willing to part with the pick for Okafor due to the risk it falls outside the top 2. They have to get some significant talent with those Nets picks and Okafor is proven talent that could have helped them right now. But if they see the pick...

    Dubs (and Curry in particular) are clearly a bit worn down from the other team trying to bring their A-game every night. For a team like the Wolves this was like their championship game. Warriors were in that position too many years, but of course the Wolves won't be there much longer...

    Barbosa has been in a bit of a shooting slump, but he's fine for what the team needs of him. Would prefer to see his 3p% get back above 35%ish where his career average is, but he still gets some easy buckets that make him worth playing. Lol if you think Draymond was upset about Barbosa, the...

    You're definitely overstating how little value he has. The Al Jefferson comparison is warranted but he is definitely more skilled than Jefferson was at that age, and Al Jefferson gets something of a bad rap because of the situations he's been in his whole career. He's usually been the best /...
