  1. And to be honest, this year they beat a very flawed Lakers roster a flawed and Stephless Warriors roster. The West is about to get very good very fast and them and Denver are the two teams that need to make some moves or get left behind.
  2. Went to the OKC/Minny game last night. A few observations. 1. Major troll job by whoever runs the OKC jumbotron. If the second quarter, the showed highlights of steals from...the first quarter. Lulz. Also, every time the Minny coach would protest a call, the jumbotron would immediately switch to him. Ha ha. 2. I stayed at the Omni and my room smelled of weed. I saw Game 2 and stated at the Omni and the hallway smelled of weed. (Room was fine.) What on earth could be connection between those two days? Hmmmm.... I went down to the front desk to just ask if they could spray the bathroom. I wasn't mad and thought it was kind of funny. "Yeah, Timberwolves are one of the smokiest teams out there. Them and Ja Morant. Who he play for?" 3. Rode the elevator with hot gal trainer for Minny. She said "We're glad you beat Denver. We hate them and all of their fake injuries. Jokic is a flopping bitch." Ah, sports hate.... 3. Dort was on Edwards like a venereal disease Ant likely got from one of his baby mamas. He made it difficult for Ant to even get across the court off ball. He was working his ass off for everything. 4. Minny has roster problems. (Duh.) They have too many one way guys. They all seem pretty one way except Ant. Gobert is functionally useless. Chet outplayed him in all facets of the game. Gobert can dunk if he's wide open but that's about it. Take away the 13 points he somehow got in Game 4 and he averaged 4 points per game and a very underwhelming 6 rebounds. Not sure what to do with him as his trade value isn't great. Conley is also an offensive zero but I'd imagine he's about to retire. Maybe they can package some of those bench guys with Gobert and get some more scoring and keep Randle or something. I dunno.
  3. Also, had he drafted Giannis instead of Steven Adams, you'd never hear a peep about the Harden move but Giannis was a complete unknown at the time.
  4. Also, at the time, no one thought Harden would be as good as he ended up being.
  5. Also, the strip clubs in Houston >>>>> Oklahoma City Nothing we know about James Harden suggests he would have stayed in Oklahoma for a discount to play third banana behind Durant and Westbrook. Also, the game was slightly different at the time with more traditional post players and Presti felt they would need to counter that with traditional post defenders (Perkins, Ibaka, Adams, etc.)
  6. The entire game seemed to runs where OKC got up +9 and then Minny made a run to get -2 or tied and then cycle repeat. Both teams just hit some shots. I'd agree that with those bench guys playing like that Minny should win easily. OKC just put everything on Ant and made the other guys beat them and that's a good bet for them.
  7. Market size is different from fan base, though. The Nets are light years from being the #2 fan base. Also, I'm not sure where they get these numbers. OKC metro area is about 1.5M and San Antonio is around 2.3M. Phoenix is also closer to 5M as is Detroit. The point holds, though. OKC and Indiana are two of the smallest markets possible for a Finals.
  8. Almost have to be, I don't know what the smallest Eastern market is. Could be Orlando. It may not be the smallest market but no there gives a shit about the Magic. MIL might be the smallest Eastern Conference market now that I think of it....
  9. There was some bad situational basketball down the stretch there. KAT is 2nd team All NBA and on the bench with a -20 +/-? (I don't but into the +/- thing but still.)
  10. He seems to just stand in the paint with his arms in the air on both sides of the court.
  11. We strolled through the lobby of the hotel across the street pre game. We're like you, we forgot he was part owner. Looked like a complete tool bag. One woman shouted "It's J Lo's ex!!"
  12. Minny is going to swept or gentlemen swept. OKC is elite on defense and they have two guys in their starting five that are black holes on offense. Quote

  14. The talking heads are being ridiculous. They're wanting Castle.
  15. If SA thinks Harper is going to be anywhere close to Cade then they'd be idiots to trade him and Castle for Giannis. That's a good to great roster over the next 10 years and they'd have Castle and Harper on rookie deals.
  16. Take away Randle's 5-6 from three and they went 10-45 but they're all bitching about the refs, of course. OKC has an elite defense and there just isn't enough points from that MN roster. Two of their starters are basically non factors. They took 83 total shots and 51 of them were from 3. Good grief.
  17. That's what I took away from it. I don't watch a lot of Minny basketball but at one point I realized that two of their starters are basically black holes on offense. The rest of those guys aren't scoring 110 points on this OKC defense. Despite the caterwauling on here, both teams had 22 fouls. Ant is in Oklahoma City for a few days with nothing to do. Here's hoping he doesn't knock anyone up.
  18. Minny doesn't have that many guys who can actually score. They're also a turnover factory. OKC in five, if that. Ant is in OKC for a few days now. Here's hoping he doesn't impregnate anyone while he's there....
  19. Ant gonna be in OKC for a few days. Let's hope he doesn't impregnate that many people there. Minny is not a good offensive team. This series won't last long.
  20. This has happened before, it's happening now, and will happen again especially if we keep electing geriatrics.
  21. Was actually going to post that. We saw her over the weekend and forgot how good she was along with the band. We've seen her many times before but it's been awhile. It's one of the most distinct voices in all of music.
  22. They'd vote for Trump again and we all know it.
