well that is something i didn't expect...a blowout win for the thunder over the spurs in a closeout game...if the thunder keep up this intensity, it could be an interesting series with the warriors...

 

[andruid]

Which would probably revitalize Durants hopes of winning a title in OKC, which would kill alot of hopes from various teams with oodles of cap space this year.

 

[Anil]

i don't know, a trip to the finals might make him consider staying on in okc but if they lose in the conf finals to the warriors, i think he will start looking for other options...

 

[nightprowler10]

What a start to the series.

 

[Anil]

yeah the way they played in the regular season, i completely underestimated them...wow! 5 players in double figures, 4 double-doubles! curry was really sloppy in the 2nd half, turning the ball over too many times...

[Pratters]

how was michael not the unanimous choice in 95-96?

If it was one of the seasons Malone was amazing, can see some people having gone for him.

 

[hendrix]

Impressive effort to make Durant scary

 

[Anil]

good comeback by the warriors but the advantage still with the thunder...curry getting knocked around...

 

[andruid]

Raptors should forfeit. They have already broken new ground by making the ECF, no use sullying it by being swept so merciliessly

 

[Anil]

the ease with which the cavs are sweeping through the east, does that make them favorites going in against whoever comes out of the west?

 

[Anil]

toronto trying to bring some respectability to the score...convincing win...

 

[nightprowler10]

Larriors.

114 points in 3 quarters for OKC. Jeez.

 

[Anil]

what a beatdown!

 

[nightprowler10]

If Draymond doesn't get suspended for that kick, I'll be pissed. What a bitch move.

 

[hendrix]

If Draymond doesn't get suspended for that kick, I'll be pissed. What a bitch move.

the funny thing is he can't explain it away as attempting to flail and milk a foul...because that's gamesmanship too. Which is really weird in a sport like basketball where cynical fouling in the 4th quarter is totally legal.

 

[Anil]

wow the raptors are taking the fight to the cavs, the west looks like an upset is in the offing...toronto is still going to lose but at least they are making things interesting...

 

[nightprowler10]

Much respect for the raps. Cavs went nuts with their scoring but Toronto just kept making crazy tough buckets time after time to win the game.

Lowry and DeRozen went nuts. Have to say the last quarter's officiating was really ******, probably cost Cavs the game.

 

[Anil]

looks like the warriors' historic season is going to end in a really lame fashion...
