    I like how you dismiss win streaks in the fall, yet use early regular season games as an argument as to why they'd be beaten in the playoffs. Seems rather contradictory.

    They don't call him Kingspeed, as in "King of hyperbole" for nothing

    Making a big trade made them the best? I think that statement had nothing pressing on the trade, but the state of the team in general.

    GS made no moves without being afraid either. What's your point?

    Awe. The poor wittle princesses in Chicago hurt dere wittle ego?

    Seriously, Thibs is a damn good coach. Running the players to the ground in practice?! Fuck those players or management that's complaining. He's developed some mediocre talent into elite talent. Took a team without any star power to the playoffs with a mix mosh of mediocre players. Fuck he actually made Boozer into a defensive player!

    I'm not sure what the ish a "mix mosh" is, but other than that I fully agree! :)

    It's like a mish-mash, only more crowded and with loud music.

    7 reserves - Aldridge, Duncan, Dirk, Paul, Harden, Lillard, and Westbrook.

    Sorry. No Durant, no Dwight Howard, no Cousins,

    Agree with this, though I will say that I'm more intrigued by this not only starting in someone's fevered imagination, but that it's spreading among "6" league executives. And I'll admit that, if "6" league execs were saying that OKC is pitching Griffin hard to return to OKC, then it would also be news.
