Re: NBA Thread
I don't get the Thunder love. Donovan's unproven in NBA. Mediocre bench. Tons of contract distractions that both Durant and Sucksbrook seem to be sensitive to. And Durant's foot injury is still a question mark for me. Foot injuries tend to linger in the game of basketball.

Yeah, Durant's foot injury is a big question mark.turned2black wrote:I don't get the Thunder love. Donovan's unproven in NBA. Mediocre bench.

Re: NBA Thread
I have no idea who is going to win the West. It'll probably come down to specific matchups and health more than anything. There are probably 5 different teams who could legitimately do it. My Thunder pick was based on: not picking the Warriors, not believing in the Rockets/Clippers, and thinking that Tony Parker may be an even bigger liability than people expect/not wanting to pick the Spurs for the 4th year in a row. Oh, and I'm a Gator and Billy Donovan is awesome.

Re: NBA Thread
Yeah, I think Billy Donovan is awesome too. I wouldn't be surprised if any of the top 5 teams I mentioned in the west won the whole thing. So many factors at play.4/5 wrote:I have no idea who is going to win the West. It'll probably come down to specific matchups and health more than anything.

Re: NBA Thread
I know Lebron wanted that game winner in front of Obama. Enjoy your Pau block and go rest that back some more.

I'm so glad this is back in my life. I forgot how much fun this Warriors team is.

Re: NBA Thread
I was going to attempt a troll on Green's contract but watching 85 million dollar man Girlsname Thompson post a 2 pt 12 board 4 foul game earlier has caused me to stop short.

LeBron's greatness as a player is surpassed only by his awfulness as a GM.

Good game. Spurs actually played a lot better than they did in the preseason.
