NBA: Jordan Leading the Bobcats to the promised land.
Well ... I can safely say, I don't care who comes out of the West ... I am ok with all 3. Too bad though that the Bulls have to play the Hawks in the second round. Would have been awesome to eliminate both the Heat and Celtics at the same time. As you can see ... I want the winner of Hawks vs. Bulls to advance to the Finals.
There is still hope for a Grizzlies - Hawks Finals.
And this time I want Dirk getting FTs every time someone breathes on him. I want Stern presenting Mark Cuban with the trophy.
On a side note, Andrew Bynum is a punk.
Imagine Hubie Brown now ...
"So if you are David Stern, what do you do? On one hand you got Mark Cuban, whom you hate with a passion and whom you never, ever would want to hand the trophy.
But on the other hand, you have Andrew Bynum, who is a classless punk playing for one of your marquee franchises. AFter that move against Barea, everyone and their grandmother is calling for his head.
Now imagine, that you don't suspend Andrew Bynum. Mark Cuban would blow a gasket and would never stop complaining, until you hand him the trophy in 6 weeks. Which you don't want to do in the first place.
So all you can do is suspend Bynum for at least 10 games and fine him so much, his non-existent grand children will owe you money. That will keep Cuban shut up and you can then proceed to screw him over with your officiating, thus not having to hand him the trophy."
Lots of strong Southwest representatives in these playoffs, Spurs trained them well 8-):...:
I don't get the hate for Mark Cuban. Maybe Maverick homers see him 24/7 and his image is smothered on the screen?
I think things will get delirious if it's a Mavs - OKC matchup. Veteran and young superstars at the same positions, hopefully it's not a Memphis spankdown like the Spurs this year.
Hubie Brown is definitely my favorite announcer. I wanna see Mark Jackson, Jeff Van Gundy, and Hubie Brown breaking up the arguments with one of his warm, grandpa sentences.
Mark Jackson can go announce little league for all I care ... as much as I love Hubie Brown as an announcer, I hate Jackson just as much.
Jackson/Van Gundy is the worst, I'd even prefer Reggie Miller over them. Jackson just says his dumb catchphrases whenever something interesting happens and Van Gundy is a broken record who says the exact same thing over and over again.
Is durant incapable of creating his own shot? I really haven't seen him do much offensively in the admittedly little time I've been watching their few playoff games, maybe because westbrook loves the ball so much. Just not what I expect as a casual fan really watching the leading scorer in the league for the first time.
Listen okc, if you're not going to make a winning shot at the end of any of these periods just give memphis the ball so we can get this thing over with.

AK47's new really terrible tattoo?
i understand putting a bull on the team, but put fucking deng on there. noah only played 48 games. Deng played the 3rd most minutes and was 4th in defensive winshares in the whole nba.

God I love Hubie Browns announcing style .

And they laughed every time
Not just announcing.
Dude gets standing ovations every time he's in town.

Nothing more to add.
OKC is weak on the front line.
I am beginning to belive that the Thunder have been getting their ego's stroked too big after taking the Lakers to six games last year.
It was a bad play.
He regretted it immediately. Hollins was calling for the time out which we had to spare, there was plenty of time on the clock.
It was a bad decision from the floor, at a bad time.
But OKC/Memphis, small market! Small Market! Ratings don't go there! - Colin Cowherd
maybe upcoming labor negotiations?

Surprised it's not still "LAKERS LOSE! (guest starring some team from texas)"
Well, that's certainly something. It's going to be hiding under a jersey most of the time, but...hmm.

ATL @ CHI, I don't know who wins.
How about Vanessa Bryant being the Yoko Ono of basketball?
Heh I had seen the picture in another forum but I didn't know it was AK. Hope he doesn't go birdman on us and this is just the beginning.
