Lebron giving exactly -4% effort on defense tonight.

NY is getting CRUSHED!
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

While they probably aren't, this isn't the matchup to judge them. OKC is the Spurs' biggest nightmare from a matchups perspective.

Westbrook and Adams routinely destroy the Spurs.

Stan Van Gundy is gonna win COTY. I honestly thought they were at complete tear it down, blow it up stage. They will be 11-4 after crushing the Pacers today.

That fact that nether team has scored 90 points in this first half tonight considering the level of defense is pretty embarrassing.

What a weird game in DC lol. First half Wiz couldn't make a shot, now second half they're still sucking in general but Beal suddenly got ridiculously hot and cut the deficit to 9, while Miami basically stopped scoring.

Yeah, he was a piece of sh*t for that one. Convinced them to get Ricky Rubio and then bailed out at the last second without a moment's notice.

Your bench scored like 25 points in the 4th quarter against the Bucks while ours went scoreless. :D

Yeah, I'm switching back to Cavs/Clippers. OKC/SAS game is getting boring. Spurs are looking pretty bad defensively...

I just jinxed them. Pacers went on a run and cut the lead down to 10 as soon as I said that. :lol:
