I'd like to put an APB out for Kevin Durant -- because he was definitely missing tonight.

Well the game last night shows theres a chemistry issue between Durrant and Westbrook. Shows Westbrook a ball hog and wants to be the main man in OKC!

I can feel all the hype in here about the OKC/Memphis series. Serious, I don't think there will be any more series as exciting as this one. GO THUNDER

So, over/under to Chicago's defeat to Miami should be set to 10,000 points.



LeBron and LeWade each get about 4000 points each.

...so, I'm at the gym and I have one of the many TVs on the Heat/Bulls game on. The employee went around to change every TVs' channel to be on the Sharks/Canucks game, and I asked her if she could please leave that one alone and she looked at me as if I'm out of my mind. I have very little interest in that hockey game LOL

Rookie contracts under the current and expiring CBA is 3 years with a 4th year as a team option Blake just finished his second contract year so unless the unthinkable happens ( you never know with the Clippers) the Clippers with pick up the 4th year option after that will depend on the new CBA.

What can you expect in Vancouver Canada I read somewhere that Ice Hockey is Canada's national winter sport. You must be in the minority not liking hockey living there.

I mean... I'm gonna be living here for awhile, but my main interests will always be NFL and NBA...

one of the friends I have here doesn't understand why I'm not a big fan, I asked her... if she moved the US or went down there on a "long visit" would she get into basketball or football? At least right away? And she said... "NO".... I said "...then, I rest my case".

Chicago looks strong - you could tell that the lack of a bench was tiring out the Heat by the 4th quarter.

And WTF was Spo thinking, by going small? He thought going small and focusing on speed when you have no bench was going to work?

Fluke win by Chicago and their non-star-fluke-MVP, Rose.


I don't see Chicago winning anymore games this season against the LeHeat.

+1. Made no sense at all. Today's game looked like Miami of the regular season, lack of depth really killed them today. Chicago needs to continue to play their A game.

Hey, synth...did you like the part where the LeHeat tried to play 6 players on the court for an advantage...?

Spo isn't a very good coach very average at best but anytime you have a player like Dwayne Wade he will make you look pretty good and then add Lebron and you get 58 wins but this guy doesn't know how to make in or out of game adjustments he lets his stars do what they do and the chips fall where they may.

Well, in all seriousness, it is one game...let's see how another 2-3 play out.

I'm having my fun but honestly, I would be shocked if Miami does not bounce back.

..and in moves Phil Jackson...

I kid, I kid....



On the Westside, it'll be fun to watch Dirk and Durant go at it. Dallas is deep and veteran, but OKC looks youthful and just won a game 7....might have made them a little tougher.

How is that not a technical? Luckily this was a blowout, because in every league, from rec leagues to the NBA, having > 5 players on the court is an automatic tech.

Was Darth Stern in the building or something, doing a Jedi mind trick or something?

The good news was that our defense did well in the 2nd. But the bad news was those 2nd chance points. This was where not having a healthy Haslem hurt us. Freaking Magloire got in some minutes. Plus the Bulls scheme on Lebron and Wade to have to dump the ball or take bad shots really worked as they combined for only 8 free throw attempts. This is why Bosh had a very nice game. Hopefully we can steal one Wednesday.

Spo won almost 50 games last year with Wade and junk. He's increased his win percentage each of his 3 years. It's not like we finished a 2nd seed without adjustments. In the Boston game 4 we were down the whole game until the end. Sure many will probably say because Lebron took over. But Spo did insert James Jones who hit a huge 3 in that game to start the 16-0 run. Spo will have the Phil Jackson effect unless he wins tons of rings thanks to his talent. I remember for years even after winning 6 with Chicago that people were saying Phil Jackson was an average coach because of his talent. Spo will never get credit.
