    I saw his notes... They say "keys to success: grow beard, stick out tongue, be on OKC."

    Thunder just look like they have so much more spunk right now.

    Helluva series. OKC looks like they finally got all growed up in a hurry.

    How? We had no shot at Harden or Westbrook.

    I don't know if it would have been us even if we had drafted Durant.... we wouldn't have Westbrook or Harden.

    well, in terms of being the team of the future with Roy, Oden and LMA + mysterious free agent acquisitions using imaginary cap space. the dynasty was supposed to be portland where teams would have to build to topple our greatness. just stings from all the hope and hype we had just a few short years ago. it really fucks me up. I haven't been even able to watch this series at all.

    now we're talking about shitty lottery picks and Goran Dragic as our PGOTF.

    and it just reinforces my theory of "cheat to win". the thunder ownership are the biggest assholes in the NBA..cheated seattle out of their franchise on so many levels...and look what they have to show for it....dynasty in the making. darlings of the NBA.

    look at their fucking fans too. annoying as fuck, noisemakers and clappers and all that shit. fuck them.

    I have to agree with this 100%. When Clay Bennett's group bought the Sonics they tanked intentionally and avoided spending anything to improve the roster. They essentially wanted the team to perform poorly and then reap the benefit of additional high draft picks for the move.

    The only real justice will come when they have to let Harden and Ibaka walk or pay a huge luxury tax bill. I'd like to see the Blazers leave some cap flexibility in place to make a run at either next summer.

    I take back what I said about OKC being done. Holy hell they came roaring back.

    OKC is winning it all but it will be a helluva battle between them and Boston in the Finals. Westbrook vs Rondo will be epic.

    I've been saying that the WCF is the championship series. Hard to see Bosh-less Mia or old beat up Boston posing much of a threat.

    Perk vs. Boston would be kind of an interesting storyline, but he really should barely even be playing against Duncan and Splitter let alone KG, Bass, Steimsma. Thanks for the defense on Bynum, now park your ass on the bench and scowl at people.

    When did Pryz or Ratliff shoot 11 of 11 in a playoff game?

    How about them apples?

    Thunder have gone from down 2-0 to up 3-2, one win away from the finals.

    OKC getting the benefit of every questionable call at the moment. Refs are deciding this game, kind of sickening, its the WCF let them play for gods sake.

    Wow. The biggest flopper in the NBA is clearly Harden. Just fucking WOW.
