Why does Memphis make this more difficult than it has to be, end this in 6!

Man, all Game 5s should be renamed "Miller Miller Game" from now on. After every gm4 you go play a "Mike Miller Game".

Re: Around the NBA 8.0 (Playoffs Edition)
How in the world does a team that should have won in 5 wind up nearly down 2-3? Durant has played like utter **** and these Grizz have almost let him off the hook.

Game 6 is going to be amazing. Time for Durant to stand up or get out.

That's a great play...if you want a 35 foot fadeaway jumper at the buzzer.

Re: Around the NBA 8.0 (Playoffs Edition)
24 free throw attempts by KD in game 6, nothing less. Book it.

Re: Around the NBA 8.0 (Playoffs Edition)
Look at that! NBA official and particular Joey Crawford in the middle of it... Hmmm. Where have I seem this before . Yet... He will still get most of the big games . Fans see an issue, media sees issue, NBA admits to understanding what perception is and... Nothing changes.... #ThinkOnIt

Durant also downplayed his and his peers’ own accomplishments in light of Bryant’s career saying that “what guys are doing now is nothing compared to what he did. Me, Carmelo, LeBron, Paul George — what we’ve done out there in this league is nothing compared to what Kobe did.”
Get the **** out, Kevin.

Re: Around the NBA 8.0 (Playoffs Edition)
Durflail has looked like a completely different player this series. Just looks scared out there and the refs aint calling his flails even though hes still getting some bailout calls. KD apologists will blame Brooks or Joey Crawford (lol) but KD just looks lost. He doesnt want the ball.
He better have some LeBron game 6 magic or its gonna be a long summer for him even though im sure the excuses will be flying around because his name isnt LeBron.

Re: Around the NBA 8.0 (Playoffs Edition)
Are we really focusing on Joey Crawford stopped Durant from shooting a free-throw (which any official is supposed to do if there's a problem with the scoreboard or anything)? The MVP's excuses keep on piling up. Durant isn't giving his team anything right now, inefficient scoring, horrible offense, horrible defense. But yeah, lets blame a damn official who delayed a free throw. If it's that easy to get in KD's head...

Re: Around the NBA 8.0 (Playoffs Edition)
What??? When did he say this?
You can't put yourself in the same category as a 4 time MVP and 2 time NBA champion you Skinny chucker.
"Me, Carmelo, Paul George, and that's it. We've won nothing." Kevin Durant
