Re: NBA Thread
As it turned out I'm really glad they didn't suspend Green. The last thing ESPN needs is more excuses for Golden State.

Dame tweeted 'No Excuses...' last night during the end of the game when Reggie came to the conclusion that steph is a paraplegic now.

Re: NBA Thread
Green and Bogut are definitely dirty/cheap players. Almost every team has one or two. You love them if you are on your team and you don't if they play for the opponent.

I got a bleacher report update saying that Steph is "70% at best" but refuses to make excuses. That sure sounds like an excuse to me. Idk if that quote was from Curry or somebody else, though.

yeah, ESPN is all about Steph being hurt rather than OKC being good today.

They don't like to admit that he can't handle someone long and quick defending him.

No. By far it was when they would break coverage to go to Jets spring training to cover Tim Tebow.Monkey_Driven wrote:What was the worst ESPN story that was way too over covered?

Steph didn't look good last night (hasn't looked like regular season Steph in the playoffs), but I have been much more impressed with just how together OKC has been in the last two series. Credit to Donavan, but Westbrook is the leader/closer and KD is a tremendous quiet 2, but since they lost Harden, I don't remember the entire roster looking this good across the board. A lot of people were in double digits last night.
It's going to be bad I guess that a team with that many regular season wins probably won't win the NBA, but the Supersonics look good man.

Guys, steph went nova in OT his first game back from his knee boo boo. If he was hurt he wouldn't be insisting on sticking Russ. Or maybe ponyboys ego really is that big.

Of course it is. It is just more fodder for the media excuses for him. Steph is a smart enough guy to know that he would be hurting his team if he was still injured that bad.verb_to_trust wrote:Bullshit

Re: NBA Thread
Reports coming out that Noah is telling teammates he is done with the bulls because he doesn't trust the front office. I love that guy and good for him.
