The best insult I know for OKC is just, "This [or that] is not what a pro wants." You can use it in like a thousand scenarios.

ATT&T's ability to double down on cringe ads is fascinating to me.

I don't understand how they stumbled on another wet fart of an ad like that. I would hope that they hired a different creative agency but it doesn't seem like it.


They have been struggling when they couldn't milk that Russian model anymore

They may try to bait him but seems like it just energizes and focuses him. Beware the wolf on the hunt.

Y'all are clearly the superior team and as close to a lock to win the title as can be. I'd rather a small market win the Championship than a big market.

We were better then the rest of the West but you guys are simply in a class of your own.


Nice jinx attempt, but not buying this one at all.

:lol:

Sucker!!

Reminds me of the Paul Mooney bit on Chappelles Show.

“Brad Pitt is the Mexican? And then you got Tom Cruise as the last samurai? Tom Cruise!? I got a movie for you - the last n**** on earth, starring Tom Hanks, how about that for a movie?”


You reminded me of one of my favorite movie reviews of a bad movie:

I didn't have nearly as much fun at "The Mexican" as I did reading a piece of graffiti on a poster for it at a Brooklyn subway station last week. Next to the image of Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt kissing, some wag scribbled, "'The Mexican?' Who's it about, their pool boy?"

To think that the TV hacks are raking in the big bucks while true talent is reduced to writing on subway walls.

I think the NBA should implement a new rule this instant that lets teams gamble some points in a blowout from their current game and flex them into push into the next game. Let's shave off 15 right now and apply that to game 4.

I told you so. Things in Minny are going to look different.
OKC is the favourite. They're not going to lose all next 3 games, it's impossible.
But Minny in the last 2 years has character. Mentality.
It's the only team in the league that can make Denver feel inferior.
Minny will win a ring with Ant.
Maybe not this year. But it will come.

Is this game enough for me to believe this will be a long fought series? I hope so.

My sincere proposal is no challenges when the lead is 25+.
