    NOW you're starting to think the Thunder won't have a shot at the Finals? They're not even half the team Dallas is. They probably won't get past Memphis anyway.

    As for the Boston game, KG made Bosh his BITCH.

    KG 28/18
    bosh 6/5

    On Twitter, Bill Walton said that if Bosh were a superhero, he'd be the Invisible Woman, lol!

    I hope Rondo will be able to keep playing. He's became one of my favorite players during last year's playoffs.

    I wouldn't compare Westbrook to AI. Iverson never had a player of Durant's caliber on his team, so he HAD to shoot a lot. When he finally did have a decent star alongside him in Melo, he did defer a ton.

    I was just being ridiculous. I created a trade for Westbrook to POR for filler (Babbitt, Williams, Fernandez). I figured it they were sick of him, we may be willing to take him off their hands.

    Did you miss my posts right before your post? Westbrook lost the game for OKC.

    I was talking about in the future too not just this season. That Bill Walton isn't actually Bill Walton but whoever does it is funny as hell.

    The western conference is officially up for grabs for the foreseeable future.

    Cho, get to work. If your plan is to wait for Oden to get healthy....go away.

    Oden healthy would be insane for our team but yes I would like to see some moves. I defiantly want to gamble with Oden, a healthy Oden puts us in the top 2 teams in the west imo

    Hawks are here to stay. Rose needs help from his teammates for them to win this series, he is carrying them on his back and there getting heavy, Noah/Boozer eat a lot.

    The 09 draft was such horrible luck for us.

    Check out the five picks before ours:

    17- Holiday- potential PGotF
    18- Lawson- potential PGotF
    19- Teague- potential PGotF- absolutely owning Rose this 4th quarter.
    20- Maynor- potential PGotF
    21- Collison- potential PGotF

    22- Claver- WTF

    25- Beaubois- could have salvaged that draft by picking this guy, but we didn't.

    Just odd how that PGotF is so elusive for us.

    We've talked about it for 4+ years. The 09 draft is often glossed over.

    Great shot by Conley. We need him to come to Portland and play with his buddy Greg.

    Kendrick Perkins = FAIL. We all knew he was overrated by virtue of playing for Boston, but damn.
