    NBA refs are horrible. It’s embarrassing how bad they are.

    Leave it to the refs to screw up an exciting game. It's like they had to give the Bucks an excuse if they lose the series.

    On a different subject, looking back I can't believe I was ecstatic that we got Little instead of Bazley. Boy do I feel dumb!

    I can't root for Paul or Westbrook.

    @BonesJones Curious on your opinion on Billy Donovan's coaching from last year to this year? Did you see big improvements? Roster better made to fit his system? Why does it appear OKC is producing similar results with less talent? Anyone else, feel free to give your opinions as well.

    harden has no place being in MVP conversations given how much he disappears in the playoffs every year

    Less talent? CP3/SGA/Gallo > RW/PG13%

    I like your opinion @KSF-ERIC. Las Vegas (who represents the betting public) though OKC was going to be much worse this year returing the same coach, so I jumpe to the conclusion that the majority of people thought OKC downgraded in talent. Was there a Western Conference predicted thread at the start of the season? I know if I responded, I probably messed up on OKC big time as I thought they were going to try and tank!

    Dort picked a good time for a coming out party! He didn't have a spectacular season, but for an undrafted rookie he did pretty well.

    What do people think - flash-in-the-pan, or does he have a future in the league?

    meyers leonard had 30 in a closeout game facing elimination in the conference finals a year ago.

    he's a great defender, but this shooting ain't sustainable.

    i just realized CP has been traded for two Rockets from different teams.

    Neil traded Gordon for him as a Clipper from New Orleans.

    Then Westbrook and OKC.
