This is a joke right?

Watching game 4 of Clips vs Spurs and it is a flop festival. Wonder who will get a Grammy out of this series

I think Ainge will do what I wanted us to do. Trade for Cousins and sign Love or LMA.

I think LMA might run off to the Spurs. I would REAALLY hate that if it happened, but it just seems like the type of thing that will happen

I have a strong feeling that Warriors and Spurs will meet in the West Finals and it will be the real Final followed by 4 meaningless games.

I think whatever chance the Celtics might have had to get Love just went out the window today. That was a dirty play by Olynyk and the Celtics played dirty the entire series. I imagine the way they carried themselves during the Cavaliers/Celtics series will be a big turn off to Love. Plus there is not all that much on that team honestly. They made the playoffs with a losing record. They looked completely overmatched against the Cavaliers. I think there are several other teams Love would rather be on instead. My guess is that it is between the Cavaliers and Lakers on where he signs. I doubt he will sign anywhere else.

Gortat has been balling for Washington. Looking back, that trade wasn't all that great for us.

Two games for JR Smith, what a joke.

The NBA's disciplinary policies are such a joke. That stupid rule of an automatic one game suspension for just walking off the bench is insane. How can the league have a rule where a player can get suspended for just walking off the bench and then have a play like Perkins nailing Crowder in the face result in only a fine? Or how can J.R. Smith viciously punching Crowder in the face warrant only two games? The only reason I watch basketball is because it is my favorite sport to play and watch. A very distant second is baseball and then football. Yet the NBA is the most easily manipulated sport in America because the refs can truly control the outcome of the game. Pathetic events like today's lenient suspensions make me question why I still watch a league that is imo, without a doubt, 100% fixed.

Still laugh at people that say the Hawks are contenders. East is a joke.

Things really got out of control in the Boston/Cavs series.

The Kevin Love play was absolutely intentional and dirty. I'm amazed the league hasn't taken action.

And JR Smith is a punk. He gets a bit of a pass if it was retaliation for Kevin Love, but knowing him, he was just being a punk.

Yeah, no one talks about that but his teammate said he thinks there is a 50/50 chance he will leave and it's assumed he would only do it to go to Texas and be close to home.

I think the Wizards will make it to the WCF. I was pretty surprised they swept the Raptors so easily. If those guys keep playing this well, and Love is out, I wouldn't count them out against Cleveland either. Paul Pierce gives them that confidence.

Pierce toes the line of confidence and arrogance so well. He's playfully cocky but doesn't come off as a selfish dick. That said the Raptors basically quit and we're just awful.

I really want me some Khris Middleton. Had a great game tonight helping the Bucks beat the Bulls at home. Plus he's 6'7" and big for a SG. And only 23. Shoots 40% from 3. Nearly 86% free throw. Need I go on? :lol:

Bucks fans said the biggest reason for the Knight trade is because that trade allowed them to get away from the ball hog Knight and has allowed Middleton to blossom.

And the reason Bucks apparentky traded Knight is because they would rather pay Middleton, not Knight.
