I was thinking the exact same thing watching last night's game. It'll open up their 3-way game so well.

Not so sure....I think KD will be fine playing off of Curry. Their games will compliment each other perfectly. and instead of such an iso heavy offense, they'll finally have a system to run with Kerr.

And then I woke up.

I still believe the Thunder would have been better off trading Westbrook and keeping Harden. I also believe that Brooks needs to be canned. It isn't completely his fault that the offense sputters and they go long stretches where their best player doesn't touch the ball on the offensive end. However, he isn't doing anything about it either.

How stupid is Dwight Howard on a scale of 1 to microwaving a salad?

Man, Spurs lucked out last night. They deserve a fine for the AC.

Everyone had to play with it.

Someone needs to get to Lebron and let him know that next time that happens he needs to pop some Alka-Seltzer

Mike Krukow was talking about the old days when they'd play on the super hot Astroturf and guys would pop Alka Seltzers before games to help against cramping on the hot turf.

Spurs win anyway. It isn't like one team is more acclimated than another regarding heat. Someone tweet'd that everyone was drinking water etc, but they didn't see James taking in a lot of fluids.

I heard him say he was hydrating before during and after the game...said they were on him the whole game with ice and massages and toweling him off.

I know of players who got IV fluids at halftime to combat dehydrating. You almost need to do that if you are showing any signs of cramping. Vitamin D has a huge effect on muscle cramps as well.

Spurs reserves looked good last night: Marco, Mills, Diaw, Splitter and Green played well. Parker is amazing how he can get into the line. Good ol' Timmy, doing what Timmy always has done.

It arguably did give SA an advantage. Apparently a lot of Euro arenas have (or at least had) bad/no AC, so guys like Parker/Manu/Diaw have some experience with the conditions. It also helped to have depth to limit minutes - obviously a Spurs edge.

Salt tablets or alka seltzer man...I'd be amazed if they didn't have those courtside.

He told Chris Bosh and company to hit the weights.

LeBron should of drink some pickle juice for his cramps.

Mario Chalmers is an idiot.

I don't understand the constant hate on Lebron. We are literally watching a living legend, just enjoy it!

When Stinky Fish becomes head coach, will he stink as much as a coach, as he was being a players union leader?

Mylie10 · Post #260 » by **Mylie10** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 1:02 am

Predicted that Fisher would be the coach there.

Thinking Byron Scott gets the Lakers job.
