Wonder what kind of Westbrook we gonna see tonight. We saw too aggressive, we saw too passive.
Honestly, I'm mainly confident tonight because the NBA is getting great ratings and surely wants to see this go 6 or 7 games.
I think the Thunder will get every chance to win tonight and help get those ratings for ABC.
I think thats where your thinking is flawed- this is the nba finals, that just isn't gonna happen with these two young teams. Games are gonna be ugly.
It's possible. I guess the Heat's Fuckball Road to the Finals might have prepared them better.

Yea
I guess... It's not like the thunder are this great team offense tho, look at how many Isos you guys run, your turnover numbers, and your assist numbers.
Miami has done a good job disrupting what we want to do, but I still put some of the blame on Brooks' terrible rotations for this series.
Hopefully he figures it out tonight. KD needs to play 48 minutes and guard Chalmers/Wade, and Sefolosha needs to cover Bron. As I said before, our preferred lineup should be:
YNB
Sefolosha
Harden
Durant
Ibaka
What about that post is bitter? It's simply stating what we've come to expect from the NBA--the league probably doesn't outright manipulate games, but they give their desired result a good chance of happening by assigning certain refs and emphasizing certain rules.DJ Crimson said:

Because Karl wanted to throw double teams at MJ and have GP go man up with Pippen... Didn't work so well
Good on LeBron.
If anyone should be sick of the media stirring up controversy, it's him.

According to some sources, Ramon Sessions will become a Free Agent by opting out of his final year.
Does this mean Lakers going for Nash? NOOOOOO!!! so much for Nash to Miami

I don't think this improves the chances of Nash to LA much. If he wanted to go to MIA then this wouldn't change that either. Basically all this means is that LA will probably be more aggressive with shopping Pau for a PG or a package that includes a pg.
Thanks!
Nice!
How did you feel about it when you were taking it? Put in a lot of hours to study?

Nice job fellow BullsGAFian! Boozer would be proud.

Sick score.. That out of 45?
He's just opting out of the last year of his contract so he can re-sign on a long term contract. This was expected, him and his agent both said they would be doing this.

I essentially shut down my social life to do it, and I put in about 3-4 hours a day for 5 months.
I believe so, but people have told me that with the current method scaling, it's really out of 42 or 43.
I took the test on May 19th. Think about that.Kane would be proud
I thought of Boozer when I studied, lol. Thanks man.
Thanks man!

Ramon off the bench would be good, but long term for a back up pg who folds in the playoffs...ehhh, I'd like it if we were going into rebuild mode, but locking him up for his market value (which i hope plummeted after his playoff choke) doesn't seem wise with the team trying to fool Kobe into thinking they're building a contender.
Unless Mitch is tricking Sess so he can be included ina deal with Pau.....Come on Mitch, do 'em dirty.
Good shit, man. Put in the work and you get the results you want. Good luck in your interviews!
And wtf @ Dahntay Jones on First Take. ESPN promoting thuggery confirmed.

I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled today, so I may be especially unintelligible tonight.
God damn this is going to hurt isn't it.
On the bright side, win or lose the pain meds are going to have you feeling pretty good.

Not tooth, but teeth?
You are already pain

:lol It's two instead of four at least. But yeah, I've been dreading this for a while. Most of my friends had it done in their late teens, but I'm in my twenties now...

I hope you're making them put you under.
I've only ever had one pulled, but I remember how terrible the experience was. I do put some of the blame on the dentist, guy was a dick and didn't try in the slightest to make it as painless as possible.
I was a walk in. It was late in the afternoon and he just tried getting me out of the door. Asshole.
I forget what meds they prescribed me, but it was either vicodin or codeine. I would pop a pill and then smoke a bowl of cheeba. I would, as best as possible, inhale from the side of my mouth that was not in pain... then I would rinse my mouth out with water followed by mouth wash. I would then put in a new gauze and go chill.
I would do this every few hours. Helped a lot.

Uh oh. LeBron said, "He's stupid," in reference to Ibaka. Think Ibaka might try and block every shot he's remotely close to?
I had 3 and ended up biting the crap out of my bottom lip when I was under and woke up with lots of gauze packing my cheeks and 5 stitches in my bottom lip.
Good times.

So are you happy that D-Rose got injured now? It gave you a lot more free time to study.
Here's the quote as Tweeted by Darnell Mayberry, OKC's beat writer:
Doesn't seem as though he was talking about Ibaka, but the "controversy" itself.
Whatever, the whole thing is dumb anyways. I just hope Serge gets on the court more tonight.

I'm on my cell, but ESPN has the quote as "he's stupid." I would believe the guy you quoted over ESPN trying to gin up a story, but who knows.
We should also note that Serge's English still isn't very good, so there's rarely any nuance at all when he's giving interviews.
Whatever. It's a dumb story anyway.
Wade dealing with custody issue during Finals
Just in time for Game 4. I wonder which D.Wade will show up tonight.
