  1. Also, at the time, no one thought Harden would be as good as he ended up being.
  2. Also, the strip clubs in Houston >>>>> Oklahoma City Nothing we know about James Harden suggests he would have stayed in Oklahoma for a discount to play third banana behind Durant and Westbrook. Also, the game was slightly different at the time with more traditional post players and Presti felt they would need to counter that with traditional post defenders (Perkins, Ibaka, Adams, etc.)
  3. The entire game seemed to runs where OKC got up +9 and then Minny made a run to get -2 or tied and then cycle repeat. Both teams just hit some shots. I'd agree that with those bench guys playing like that Minny should win easily. OKC just put everything on Ant and made the other guys beat them and that's a good bet for them.
  4. Market size is different from fan base, though. The Nets are light years from being the #2 fan base. Also, I'm not sure where they get these numbers. OKC metro area is about 1.5M and San Antonio is around 2.3M. Phoenix is also closer to 5M as is Detroit. The point holds, though. OKC and Indiana are two of the smallest markets possible for a Finals.
  5. Almost have to be, I don't know what the smallest Eastern market is. Could be Orlando. It may not be the smallest market but no there gives a shit about the Magic. MIL might be the smallest Eastern Conference market now that I think of it....
  6. There was some bad situational basketball down the stretch there. KAT is 2nd team All NBA and on the bench with a -20 +/-? (I don't but into the +/- thing but still.)
  7. He seems to just stand in the paint with his arms in the air on both sides of the court.
  8. We strolled through the lobby of the hotel across the street pre game. We're like you, we forgot he was part owner. Looked like a complete tool bag. One woman shouted "It's J Lo's ex!!"
  9. Minny is going to swept or gentlemen swept. OKC is elite on defense and they have two guys in their starting five that are black holes on offense. Quote

  11. The talking heads are being ridiculous. They're wanting Castle.
  12. If SA thinks Harper is going to be anywhere close to Cade then they'd be idiots to trade him and Castle for Giannis. That's a good to great roster over the next 10 years and they'd have Castle and Harper on rookie deals.
  13. Take away Randle's 5-6 from three and they went 10-45 but they're all bitching about the refs, of course. OKC has an elite defense and there just isn't enough points from that MN roster. Two of their starters are basically non factors. They took 83 total shots and 51 of them were from 3. Good grief.
  14. That's what I took away from it. I don't watch a lot of Minny basketball but at one point I realized that two of their starters are basically black holes on offense. The rest of those guys aren't scoring 110 points on this OKC defense. Despite the caterwauling on here, both teams had 22 fouls. Ant is in Oklahoma City for a few days with nothing to do. Here's hoping he doesn't knock anyone up.
  15. Minny doesn't have that many guys who can actually score. They're also a turnover factory. OKC in five, if that. Ant is in OKC for a few days now. Here's hoping he doesn't impregnate anyone while he's there....
  16. Ant gonna be in OKC for a few days. Let's hope he doesn't impregnate that many people there. Minny is not a good offensive team. This series won't last long.
  17. This has happened before, it's happening now, and will happen again especially if we keep electing geriatrics.
  18. Was actually going to post that. We saw her over the weekend and forgot how good she was along with the band. We've seen her many times before but it's been awhile. It's one of the most distinct voices in all of music.
  19. They'd vote for Trump again and we all know it.
  20. Playing every other day is not a stretch. Also, that's part of the game and the mark of a good team is depth. Also, these playoffs go on long enough. Stretching the series out would make it worse. OKC will be fine. They're all 25 years old.
  21. Was at the game and just got back from dinner and drinking. Caruso is so elite as a defender. He D'ed up Jokic in a manner that Rodman would do to Shaq back in the day. (Both gave up the same height and weight differences.) Elite knowledge of position, leverage, knowing where the ball is and where it would need to be for Jokic to get it. This whole series has been a masterclass from him. If you didn't like either team and just liked basketball, this was a great series. Okie City's coach also adjusted and didn't play JWill at all and went with Caruso on Jokic with Chet and Hartenstein. OKC just finally hit some shots. Props to Denver for a hard fought series. I always thought whoever won this would win the whole thing.
  22. Flopper on a team full of drama queen malingerers.
