Why can't Bulls fans have a little happiness? We were going to lose in the 2nd round anyways. We are fucking cursed. No Thibs to blame this time.
By reilo Go To PostBulls are cursed? lol dudeCubs winning fucked up the timeline. Trump win. Hawks lose, etc. Even Carie Fisher had to die for the Cubs to win.
Kevin Durant (strained left calf) said that he is "getting better every day" and that "hopefully" he will be able to play in Game 3 vs. the Blazers on Saturday.Hopefully? I thought it wasn't serious!
Durant provided an update via a YouTube live streaming session. "Felt like I could go [in Game 2], but Coach [Steve] Kerr and the training staff and the whole organization told me it would be best to give it a few days rest," said Durant. "So hopefully I see how I feel these next couple days." The extra day of rest should benefit KD. However, the Warriors blew out the Blazers in Game 2 even without Durant, so they have no need to rush him back. We should get a formal update from the team on Friday afternoon.
Bulls finally catch a break.
Ok, that's not even remotely funny. I just forgot that this wasn't NeoGAF for a second.
Sorry Bulls fans, I know exactly how you feel. It's seriously not cool. I was enjoying this Rondo rehabilitation tour.

We're a completely different team at home. Capable of beating anyone (except the Warriors, apparently 😕).
I have a ticket for game 4 so it'll either be bloodthirsty (if we win tonight) or tense as hell (if we lose).

The common formula is that teams that lose the first 2 on the road in fairly close games will win game 3 at home, then lose game 4. That's probably how it will be for the Thunder.
By Smokey Go To PostThat's tough
Thunder favored by 2 tonight

Good thing the Bulls traded for Cameron Payne. Nothing to worry about.
Does Westbrook go for 20 assists tonight?

their data isn't working well at all if Andrew Harrison is getting 20 minutes a night in the playoffs against the SAN ANTONIO SPURS

The playoffs for Lowry is basically the equivalent

he's been with the grizz forever and they haven't drafted anyone worth a fuck since Mike Conley
By Dark PhaZe Go To Posthe's been with the grizz forever and they haven't drafted anyone worth a fuck since Mike ConleyJaMychal Green is a quality player and he played so few minutes for the Spurs it's almost like he was drafted by the Grizz!
By Dark PhaZe Go To Posthe's been with the grizz forever and they haven't drafted anyone worth a fuck since Mike ConleyJordan Adams looked like he was going to be good but he has knees worse than Parsons :(
Also to defend him a little bit he really hasn't had a lot of draft picks and then ones he has had had been out of the lottery.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostI can think of a couple of teams that need to go to Seattle yesterday but we won't go therehttp://www.espn.com/nba/attendance/_/sort/homePct/order/false
Pistons, Timberwolves, Nuggets, Wizards, Bucks round out the bottom five for home attendance %. Those first three are all below 80%.
By jjasper Go To PostJordan Adams looked like he was going to be good but he has knees worse than Parsons :(Drafting in his position is a lot more luck and player development than anything else.

Remember when Memphis drafted Thabeet over Harden
I'm not saying they should have chosen Harden but there wasn't anyone alive that didn't know Thabeet was gonna be ass

i feel like they tried this last year with Chuck and it blew up intheir faces
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostRemember when Memphis drafted Thabeet over HardenThat was Heisley's call. The front office wanted Steph. Literally every single person outside of Heisley knew he was a bust :/

Also, Coach Bud is lame for trying to get his players to stop trash talking. "Emulate Kawhi's demeanor." he says. Fuck that shit. Talk mad shit and be mic'd up and give me a seperate audio feed so I can listen to the good stuff.

By Dark PhaZe Go To Postthe only thing surprising about the raps is LFK not being prepared for this outcome
Hey, our head coach said it was an ambush. Everybody knows those don't count.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postif the Raptors decline to max Lowry…who would be dumb enough to?
Lots of teams. He's still good enough to get your team into the playoffs, and let you have a guy in the all star game. If I were a GM on the hot seat I'd be all over him as a quick fix.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postthat derozan statline should have been impossible
he quit is the only reasonable explanation
It was a combination of things:
1. Milwaukee was playing really good defence. Like, lol Raptors and everything, but give them full credit for this shit. It's been crazy.
2. The floor was wet in the first half and he went down a couple of times. The third time in the 2nd quarter he went down in a splits and lay there grimacing in pain for a couple of minutes. He stayed out there for a while in the 3rd as a decoy but he couldn't play in the 4th even though the other starters were still out there.

Why is there stuff about the Knicks in an offseason thread? They haven't made the post season since Macklemore was cool.
That's okay. The article is amazing anyway.
Jackson: Why are you here?
Noah: A dentist told me to fly to Montana and say hi.
Jackson: Sounds like kismet. Okay, I guess you can sleep on the couch for a couple of days. I'm having a rough time with my woman anyway.
6 Cheech & Chong movies, 18 joints and $72 million dollars later, a superteam was born.
July 8: "I took a plane, went to Montana and I knocked on [Phil Jackson's] door. We started talking. 'Why are you here?' [he asked]. I said, 'I don't know.' It was a great couple of days – an opportunity to meet one of the legends and spend time with him. Life works in mysterious ways and now we're here." – Joakim Noah, telling reporters about his unannounced visit to Jackson's home five years before signing with the Knicks at the behest of a dentist

By RobNBanks Go To PostMacklemore was never cool so that statement is confusing
Man, I knew somebody was gonna jump on that, lol. Maybe not cool to you or me, but he had the #7 song in 2013 and won the grammy for rap song of the year. I think it was winning that which turned him from just another white rapper to the guy everybody hated.
The first time I heard popping tags I thought the dj was giving some terrible local guy some spin as a favor. Then it became the number one song in the country...
