Kinda interesting how the 76ers are looking to move Iggy despite the fact he was arguably their best player in the playoffs. I guess they are tired of his inconsistent shooting and inability to stretch the floor.

Why the Boston/Heat series is gonna suck...

1. Ray Allen's ankle needs surgery and as you can see, he sucks at this point.
2. No Bosh
3. No Avery Bradley.
4. PP is playing with a sprained knee
5. Wade wears pink pants.

Why the Spurs/Thunder series is gonna suck.

1. Westbrook's fashion sense.

i've actually been loving the fashion trends happening around the NBA. well, aside from the having glasses without ****ing lenses thing, thats ******** (but they're still very fashionable glasses). the first and most important thing in (non-street) fashion is the fit, and these players' clothes are all completely form fitting. wade rocked those pink pants like a boss, matching them with his air yeezys and a nice silky button up.

similarly, westbrook's "gone fishin" shirt was so controversial and talked about, so much so that in one episode of nba on tnt they actually got the entire crew, right down to the camera people to wear that shirt. yes it was a joke, but that is how fashion trends start - people making fun of these new and funny styles. eventually the same people that were laughing are doing/wearing/saying the same ****.


basically, i think it's awesome that nba players are pushing the envelope.

There's a difference between having something talked about cause it's GOOD and BAD. TNT was making FUN of those items you mentioned, not complimenting it.

I'll take wearing a suit over whatever the hell they are wearing any day.

i agree you can never go wrong with a suit (though that tie looks horrendous on that all black suit, lmao). and i know they were making fun of it, that was part of my point. its all part of the process of "strange" or "different" fashion trends making an impact.

I love how they are making excuses for Harden. Oh his legs are tired cause he had to guard Kobe last series, and now Ginobili. BS. If anything, that excuse would be more valid for Kobe or Ginobili considering they are OLDER.

Plus he had a week to rest. I mean, Fisher showed up.

Cleveland, Ohio! my homeplace but for now living i
it would be great if it happens (okc winning) but the logical answer is...
spurs in 6
glad boston is moving on the the ECF
cause lets face it folks
the 76rs were part contributors to one of the worse playoffs series in history between them and the bulls
so no i am glad they are gone and get better next year

and greg pop is the bill belichick of the nba
he will take your best thing/attribute away from you so you have to beat him another way
question being can okc find another suitable way
that or shoot over 75% from the floor cause the next game is only going to be harder
they shouldnt have gave this one to the spurs will come back to haunt them

wow on the money with the comparison of Pop and Belicheck. I never thought about that.
They both have that same demeanor/swag too haha

And i'm late to bring this up, but does anyone else have major problems with all defensive teams lists?
Even with my huge Kobe bias, I know he didn't deserve to be on it this season. And Chris Paul ahead of Rajon Rondo? Iguodala not making either team?? CHANDLER NOT ON FIRST TEAM? wth coaches..

Lol, Stephen A just went off on RW, Rondo, and Wade's outfits.

Reporter: Why do your glasses have no lenses?
WB: So I can see better :troll:

Edit: Let's play the First Take game. Rank the most valuable players in this series of OKC vs Spurs

Mine would be...

1. Duncan: Gotta have a post/big presence
2. Durant: He's OKC's guy
3. Westbrook: He has to play well for OKC to have a shot.
4. Harden: He has to play well, otherwise they aren't going anywhere.
5. Parker: Keeps the team stable
6. Ginobili: Your closer.
