Again, Memphis is the better team and deserves the series. I'll be rooting for them. Probably would have been the same kind of series with Westbrook, but think we'd be closing games. Wednesday will be the same shit all over again.

These two teams just seem to gravitate to playing tight games, regardless the personnel. The saying about playing down to the team you're playing against --- these two teams play down or up to stay within striking distance.

I also will never understand why teams build leads playing team basketball and go to isolation shit in the 4th quarter. Not just the Thunder. I see everyone do it.

Perkins 2 rebounds in 24 minutes. Less rebounds than anyone on the team. Thabeet had 2 in 5 minutes. What a worthless hunk of shit.

It's really shocking how little impact he has while on the floor at this point. He was never a good offensive player, but you could count on defense and some rebounding. He's significantly worse than Collison. In fact, Collison has more game than he's given credit for by Brooks.

They are just killing Barkley on the post-game, damn, just hilarious. He's so good about taking all the crap, really makes for an entertaining show. Shaq gets defensive, but Chuck just laughs right along with them.

Much more entertaining than the Miami/Chicago game. In fact, they should probably show 2.5 hours of them instead on Wednesday.

I'd be more likely to watch, there's no doubt.

Durant knows how Kobe feels now. When you dont have that legit 2nd option, no matter how much you score, sometimes you just come up short.

He can ball out of his ass, but when guys dont come up big, its just brutal. Lebron felt it for years in the East, but now he got his man Wade.

Kobe's played with like half of the to 50 players in NBA history and 300% of all the all stars in the league. He had like one year without much help and he started crying in the 2nd half of a game 7 because the mighty phoenix suns defense was too tough.

Dirk, Lebron, Iverson, Rose, virtually anybody would have been a better comparison than Kobe.

He played with no one for 2005, 2006, 2007 he finally got Gasol in the 2nd half of the year WHEN The Lakers had the best record in the West. Bynum finally started playing well til Lamar O"dum" rolled up on his knee's and it was all bad after that. lol

This passed year, dont get it twisted. Kobe played with a 50 percent Dwight, if that and a Broken down Gasol, who was dealing with Planar Fascia and tendinites in his knee's. HIs knees were so bad, that he immediately got some kind of wierd knee surgery to see if it can help his knee's, his vert is worse then Zack Randolph. lol Ooh yeah, Steve Nash was hurt for a huge part of the of the season, lets not mention he's 39 years old.

When he's had a legit 2nd option, he went to 3 finals' in a row. then 4 earlier in his career, when he was a young buck. 7 finals' isnt to bad.

That team that pushed Pheonix to 7 games had SMUSH PARKER and KWAME ****ING BROWN and Luke Walton in the STARTING LINE UP, come on now.

Russel goes down, and they are about to get 4-1'ed in the 2nd round.

Refs trying to get NY back in this game. Just terrible. Ray Felton is the biggest pussy in the NBA

Well, in this series Collison can't stay out of foul trouble. He's at least started playing him more minutes. Daniel Orton is honestly better than Perk. I would have 100% more confidence throwing him out there. Brooks is just a pussy, and refuses to try new things. As much as we've struggled on offense why not stick in Lamb and give him a heat check? Just gutless coaching. Memphis is my hospice nurse right now.

NY is such a dysfunctional tragedy of talents.
