Dan Crawford in action.

I'm sure every ref has made those type of calls before.

 

[SephCast]

This is why I think his career will be cut short. His body will just become too banged up. The spirit is willing but the body will be done.

That's why we have to do everything we can to win in the next 2-3 years. D-Rose can't keep this up. I doubt it, but hopefully we can nab Jason Richardson for whatever MLE exists next year. I would also take another hard look at OJ Mayo.

 

[reilo]

What's with your hard-on for Rondo of all people?

Best point-guard in the game.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Best point-guard in the game.

I'm not going to bite on that one. A little too obvious this time, reilo.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

speaking of terrible calls.

He should be at the line on the other end of the court for the other team.

 

[Darkman M]

Yeah the Mavs would likely lose even a fairly officiated series. This will just seal the deal.

Ohhhh Brandy

I love this!

OKLAHOMA CITY – Kevin Durant had 41 points in Game 1 and is the league’s two-time scoring champ, but when it came time for the big shot in Sunday's Game 1 win by the Thunder, it was Russell Westbrook who took it. In fact, Westbrook used the last five possessions for the Thunder, with four shot attempts and a turnover, even though a torrid Durant was 13-of-22 from the floor.

That seems terribly puzzling at first, unless you watched what took place off the ball. Oklahoma City had plays designed for Durant to get the ball from Westbrook, but he never get anywhere near it thanks to opponents’ strategy of walling him off the ball in those situations, using superior strength to prevent Durant from breaking free.

“At the end of the game they like to hug Kevin,” said Westbrook, “and grab and hold him, so sometimes I have to be able to create a shot for myself if Kevin can’t get the ball. I definitely try to get it to him but when I can’t I have to get a shot myself.”

Or, you know, you can try to get an open shot for somebody else.

Harden.

I agree.

 

[Omiee]

when is the mvp going to be announced?

 

[SamuraiX-]

Did somebody say something about frauds?

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Westbrook went to 82games, saw Durant's clutch numbers, and said, "It's cool, I got this."

lol okay what happened here? They though the Magic center was on the other team or something?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

The best is the guy who got "fouled" and his reaction, I can't place what his facial gesture means.

Is it "dam, my guy fouled the shit out of me, best you called that, bitches" or is it "that was such a terrible call, I am going to shit my pants I am so amused"???

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Am I proud or sad that I know that's Keyon Dooling in that gif? Both.

 

[snack]

when is the mvp going to be announced?

They tend to announce it during the second round of the playoffs.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

It was just a matter of time till I started getting Avatar requests from Heat fans. Hmm don't think I can morally oblige.

I still have no idea why Sefolosha is on the floor at the end of games when we need to stretch the defense.

Our end of game lineup should be Westbrook, Harden, Cook, Durant, and Ibaka/Mohammed.

No black holes, and the defense can't focus on any one player to stop.

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I laughed.

 

[Black Mamba]

maybe enough media attention is focused on Crawford that he will ref the opposite of expectations.

Then again, McMillen just complained about game 1, so he was probably sent in there to balance things out.

Eh, the referee schedules have to be set up in advance I would assume. They have to book their flights and hotels, etc.

I was kidding on both accounts.

Sefolosha has made equally as many 3s as Harden has in his Playoff career on virtually the same amount of attempts.

Just sayin'

 

[numble]

It is not public knowledge until game day though. So there's still room for conspiracy nuts. Plus, when a series goes to game 5/6/7, they need to book everything with only 1 days notice.

 

[Barrage]

Congratulations Odom.

Hopefully he gets laid tonight and comes out a beast tomorrow.

If he gets laid, he'll be coming in a beast tonight.

Amazing. Greg Ostertag's is awesome:

On 10th of September, it was reported that the D-League's Texas Legends were looking at the possibility of bringing in Ostertag as either a player, an assistant coach, or both. On 14th of September, however, Ostertag wrote this tweet.

No way this is his real twitter.

KEVIN DING
74% of NBA players answer Kobe to "Who do u want shooting with game on line?" Durant 8%, Wade 3%, Allen/Nowitzki 2%. (SI poll, 166 players.

.

 

[snack]

.

Understandable. Who wouldn't?

 

[SamuraiX-]

As much as I've always hated Kobe's bitchassness, he's still the best in the league at putting it in the hole when it matters.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

lol at Durant over Wade or Dirk. That's absurd.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

As much as I've always hated Kobe's bitchassness, he's still the best in the league at putting it in the hole when it matters.

He really is. I know there are guys that are great in a clutch situation but the difficulty of some of the shots Kobe takes is just sheer insanity.

 

[DCX]

As much as I've always hated Kobe's bitchassness, he's still the best in the league at putting it in the hole when it matters.

He is, especially when he forces the issue..

[Bread]

Throws napkin into trash ....

"KOBE!!"

 

[Doc Holliday]

DCX

LOL I just coughed up a bit of Doubleshot.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

.

Sure, but like 90% of the league plays against Kobe, so they're hoping he takes the shot. Nobody wants to see Ray Allen pulling up.

Spoiler

I know, I know.

 

[reilo]

+/- 4% margin of error, believe.

 

[SamuraiX-]

DCX

I was hoping somebody would make that reference.

I'm only pissed because I can't think of anything clever to say in return. lol

 

[Blackface]

.

yet the numbers say, as of last year, he isn't that good.

 

[Darkman M]

yet the numbers say, as of last year, he isn't that good.

Is he Brandon Roy good though?

 

[exarkun]

If I had one possession left and down one I would want to give it to Kevin martin so he could drive to the basket. Automatic two babay!

 

[Duki]

Is he Brandon Roy good though?

kobes going to reach those lofty heights in a year or two dont worry

 

[Darkman M]

You missing the joke bro.

 

[numble]

The numbers detailing his performance since last year?

You missing the joke bro.

i made another one bro

about knees

Darren Collison optimistic for Game 3

I actually hope he returns so we can sweep them fair and square!

Solid effort.

Uh, the fair and square part has already been ruined.
