    Thunder had this and they kept throwing away the ball. What a joke. We would totally beat them.

    Come on Thunder! Fuck. Aldridge misses but they don't get rebound.

    Wow Kawhi is a fucking baller

    That was a huge offensive board and he avoids westbrooks great defense too.

    The road team shoots 34 FTs (14 more than the home team). Probably be even more lop-sided in our game.

    Friggin OKC. So close and yet then so far. I take so much joy at the idea of a possible Spurs defeat.

    OKC sucks and I don't see how they get better. They need to fire their coach again. There are players other than Durant and RW on that roster and they need to be utilized more often. The Durant & Westbrook Show will never win a title.

    Spurs will have a gentlemens sweep this round. If game 5 is a blowout makes KD leaving more likely.

    Last 5m of the OKC/Spurs game Durant 2 shots, Westbrook 6(two of which were off offensive rebounds). Westbrook shot 13 more times then Durant.

    Memphis' coach Dave Joerger was fired this morning and is already locking into a new lucrative deal with the Kings according to reports.

    That would be quite a coup for the Kings landing a good coach. I can see Joerger helping transform Cousins into a better player and possibly a leader.

    Power struggle. He wanted more money and he didn't like the moves the front office did at the deadline this year. Basically the owners were getting tired of him off the court. On the court they liked him.

    Does this mean we can have Marc Gasol?

    The owners liked his results. This was due to off-court issues not his performance coaching.

    So the owners are stupid? They want Martha Stewart to coach.

    If Paul Allen had hired Popovich but didn't like him I'd be so pissed. Not saying he is Pop as I really know little about him.

    Well, that have already given up a Gasol for a pretty "meh" package before... Vonleh, Aminu, and the Cavs pick for Marc Gasol!

    Vintage Westbrick. He also had four 4th quarter TOVs. His brand of 4th quarter hero ball isn't going to get it done in playoffs against a TEAM like the Spurs.
