    Cavs would have HCA against the Thunder and matchup better against them than they would against the Warriors and Spurs... Thunder are getting all the borderline calls against the Spurs and last night v the Warriors... is this 2006 all over again where the league wants to hype up a superstar? Not to mention Lebrons recent SpaceJam movie coming out... is Adam Silver behind the strings encouraging the refs or did the Warriors simply have a bad shooting night?

    Or are the Thunder better than we thought they were? If theyre good enough to beat the Spurs and Warriors maybe this could be the year Durant finally rings... so many questions, so little time.

    But the Jews? , it's legitimate when there is an obvious Zionist agenda.

    Surely it's not cowardly to indulge in anti Semitic analysis?

    I think curry is still hurt and can't take over the games. He hit shots, but it was streaky.

    That may be all okc needs. Still, this is only one game and Kerr has the players to make the adjustments. At the minimum.they should knock out Adams, knock down Russ some more.

    No. The league has its new poster child in Curry. He's good... he's a half breed... he's religious... and he's a family man... thats until we peek into his closet.

    So what's your prediction, Buddy? GS comes back and wins the series?

    I don't think so. The league benefits the most from GS winning. Curry is the most popular player among casual fans. He looks like he's 13 which makes him non threatening to everybody. He attracts people to the game that normally wouldn't watch it. I think ratings will be actually lower if the Warriors don't get to the finals due to all the bandwagon warrior fans who are only watching because of the Warriors.

    I'm sorry but LeBron has been to the Finals six times overall and five straight years. If the league wanted him to have 3 rings by now, he would have them. Maybe he shouldn't have the bed so bad in his first trip with Miami against Dallas.

    The Thunder are very good (lol preffering to face them over the Clippers). And the new Soctty Brooks found something in the Adams-Kanter pairing. If they force GS to stay big, they have a mini-battle won. It's still hard to think they can pull it off.

    Curry is too injured to take over games.

    Oh, horse . OKC sat down and came up with a plan. What, you thought they were just going to follow everybody else to the poorhouse? Now, it's up to Kerr and his people to counter it. Is State sodded & sated? They were last night. We're gonna find out tomorrow night if it's the beginning, or, the end.

    And I don't want to hear another ing word about injury. STFU and act like somebody.

    Forget Adams-Kanter, it's actually Waiters that is playing like 2012 James Harden: He's the leading scorer in the 4th quarter for OKC. If it wasn't for him their guard rotation would be ty (Foye/Paynes:), at least they can play Ibaka or KD at the 4 over Kanter/Adams.

    Its a great thought. I was thinking to myself about it too. They would want Golden State to lose because they know LeBron can't beat them and they know DAMN well Westbrook and Durant won't beat them. They've kept quiet by not hyping LeBron or Cleveland at all most of the season. The league is already identified itself as a business and a business must make money. They'll cut all corners to do so at the expense of money rather than a legitimate product as most hated business always do.

    How do they make money by the Warriors not going to the finals since the Warriors get the highest tv ratings out of all the remaining teams. I don't get how it would be good for business if the Warriors didn't make it to the finals.

    Neither did your Spurs... but you begged to differ. Now you're walking around with a sore pussy not having enough class to represent your coast.

    I don't think the league has a goal in that area. I think individuals have Vegas spreads to cover and the media wants large market teams to succeed just to reach a wider audience. The NBA just wants profit.

    The NBA and Media all hate LeBron, tbh. They always have, ever since he started to look like he'd threaten their precious DK's legacy. Since their old -buddy (Kobe) retired, they now want their new -buddy (Curry) to ring every year.

    The league is doing everything it can to keep OKC relevant. They know that is Durant leaves that Westbrook will be OTD the next chance he gets. OKC will become a dead franchise at that point, which makes the whole Seattle move a big joke.
