NBA 2013?14 Season

I wonder if moving the team to a place like Seattle would be more profitable. Then again playing second fiddle in LA might be more profitable than being the primary NBA team in most towns.

That team isn't moving anywhere. A 3rd LA team would probably be more profitable than a few teams in other cities.

Spurs in the bonus and just called for their first team foul of the fourth quarter with 1:09 remaining. Quality reffing right there.

I love Valanciunas, but if we had lost this game on a 3/4 court goaltend, I would have flipped out.
I'm going to have a heart attack before this series is done if they keep blowing these big leads.

There has been a prospective ownership group in place in Seattle for a few years now, that have the support of a portion of NBA ownership. I don't see them allowing the Clippers to be relocated there though. To have the team finally realize some on court success only to have them snatched away to another city as a result of the owner being a racist douchebag doesn't help in expanding your fan base, especially with Johnny-come-lately fans like those in LA now following the Clippers.

The real thunder finally showed up.

Still no sign of the real Pacers

They are who we (Gaige) thought they are.

PG is performing like a superstar, Too bad the overall Pacers play is overshadowing it. Good thing I'm just a PG fan and don't care about the team as a whole.

Davis practically tackles Jermaine O'Neal and knocks him out of the game and it's not even a flagrant? Come on.

I'm not one to complain about fouls, but some of these calls have been horrendous. That offensive foul that was just called on David Lee was egregious. We get it. LAC had a racist owner and it's a good story for them to win. They don't need help to beat GSW though.

EDIT: Never mind. This game's all over the place.

Either Mark Stein fell asleep in the tanning bed or he is turning into an Oompa Loompa.

Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has cancer - ESPN Los Angeles

Kwanzaa smited Sterling.

Holy shit. Steven Adams MVP of the series for making Zbo throw that punch to the face.

Grizzlies' Randolph suspended for Game 7 | NBA.com

Somehow people are really trying to claim Randolph just pushed him, and the Thunder paid the league. I will never understand people.

Kinda did look more like he pushed his face than punched it in the replays I saw just now, but...can't really argue with a 1 game suspension. Like one of the analysts said...if he had given him a flagrant last night, they probably wouldn't have suspended him for Game 7.

But who cares about any of that...Raptors in 6!!! Woohoo!!! Let's Go Raptors!!!

I'm curious if you clicked on the link and watched the slow motion version?

Nah, was busy watching Raptors pre-game stuff. I looked now and, yeah, you can see him ball the fist and a little more of the impact there. Like I said, though, I was okay with the suspension. Anyone thinking the Thunder paid the league is stupid, but if all you see are the real-time replays they were showing on ESPN, it does look more like a push than a punch.

Nets taking it to the Raptors tonight, which is good. As much as I hate KG, Pierce, Deron Williams, and NY in general I hate Miami so much more and they're the only Eastern team I can see beating them
