Lol @ the Cavs. They'll still win but I think a major portion of the hope they had against the Western champ involved them having a week or more off waiting while the Thunder and Warriors beat each other up in a long series. So much for that.

What I don't get is why he doesn't assert himself and always looks for the pass in those situations. He had a couple switches on Lowry just to pass out of it.

Did Lue bench Klove in the fourth? I only watched the last two minutes because the bachelorette was on.
He stepped on a ref's foot and twisted his ankle and Lue just never put him back in.

Doesn't matter, this season's over.

Was this in the 4th? He looked exhausted by the end after playing 45 minutes.

They need Love to get right and hit some shots so they can either play him at the 5 or with Frye and keep Biyombo away from the basket.

Thought Lowry was going to hurt himself looking for foul calls last night. :roll:

He's the worst man. Every bit as bad as Harden.

He's bad but let's not exaggerate. He's probably not even as bad as Wade or Jimmy.

Harden is the worst and it is not even close.

I can't believe I'm pulling for the Ex-Sonics to win it all this year. What is this world coming to?

Yeah I know but I had to watch 7 straight games of Lowry, so recency bias and whatnot.

Steph always seems like he's smiling when he's doing his aw shucks laid back humble guy interviews.

Well, it was a good year. The Thunder are just clicking right now. They haven't looked like this for a few years now. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to watch much of this series due to work/vacation. Only following tonight's game on my phone.
