    I underestimated the Geko's.
    They look like they're going to close out in game 6, not allow a team that isn't as talented force a game 7.

    Flavor of the Month team down.
    Geko's don't take more than 2 games off the Cavs again in round 2.

    Spurs vs Memphis already went a lot longer than most thought. Heres hoping Memphis forces a game 7.
    My Spurs in 7 prediction was based off Tony Allen meme-ing Leonard.
    But without him I'm surprised af Memphis is in game 6.

    You included the likelihood of winning a title in OKC, alongside his happiness playing with RW, as proof that Durant left because of RW. And your response is to fall back on and/or semantics? Weak.

    I love the evolution of Zach Randolph. He wins awards for giving back to the community and he rarely, if ever, complains to the refs.

    Spurs started to match Memphis' physicality in that 3rd quarter.
    Just not sure if they'll do it in the 4th.
    Vince Carter is playing amazingly for a 40 year old.

    Shit, I'd give Vince Carter a 2 year deal. He's playing great defense and can shoot now.

    Wow, Vince Carter's jaw got in the way of Manu's elbow.
    Foul on Carter.

    No it's not. They had the talent to win, but they would never win BECAUSE OF WESTBROOK and his ball hogging, hero ball style of play that constantly froze Durant out in the 4th quarter of every important playoff game. That goes all the way back to Westbrook's 2nd season in OKC and was a constant theme every year after that. Durant wanted to win, which meant more ball movement and a more team oriented style of play. He was never going to get that with Westbrook, who is all about his own stats.

    That team made the NBA finals when Durant and Westbrook were 23 and Harden and Ibaka were 22 and never made it back to the finals. They should have been a fucking dynasty. Two reasons they weren't: owners who were inexplicably cheap at exactly the wrong time and Russell Westbrook's hero ball in the playoffs. That team never reached it's full potential and Durant realized it never would as long as Westbrook was dominating the ball in the 4th quarter of any, and every, close playoff game.

    Yikes, Great defense by the guy guarding Leonard. But he leaks out instead of staying to rebound.
    Doubtful Tony Allen would have made that mistake.
    That mistake basically clinched the series for San Antonio.
