    Eh...some people were doubtful about LMA to the Spurs...i don't think they're going to trade him though.

    What? :)

    He might have TMac syndrome.
    Makes everyone around him worse. . . while filling up a stat sheet
    I think he lacks the HEART
    Kwahi doesn't have enough heart for the both of them

    It is so weird to see Duncan, Ginobili, and Pop with hair.

    Yahoo just posted an article about this.

    Writer said LMA has no heart. LMA wants to play with an all time great, not Lillard.

    Not sure why he didn't join Cavs or Thunders.

    Yeah, I still think some of those calls in this series really screwed things, not so much the game 2 one (there was a lot wrong on that play) but the game 5 no foul on Westbrook was weird... Like how in the **** can the nba continue to mess up on these calls??? Still looking rigged and the 2 minute explanations of their **** ups don't help. Like they admitted all of these calls on close games, just bull****. Yeah... We missed the WB and allowed the and 1, Wtf, NBA????

    They should just change it to review in final 2 mins via challenge system or something because they're missing way too many (on a lot of games) . I mean if it keeps going this way... They might as well just make it ****ing wrestling and allow the users to vote on a winner, haha (and I don't know anything on wrestling, so sorry if I offended you fans :) )

    In his defense, the Blazers were a mess last season. And they had almost no success in the postseason his entire time there(aside from when they went up against McHale's Rockets).

    Eh...i agree, that was really terrible.

    Probably the nba don't want to see Durant ending up in Houston
    jk :grin:

    The last 3 games were shocking. OKC had problems protecting leads in the 4th all season long. I figured they'd do the same vs the Spurs. I've never been wronger in my life! :eek:

    Unfortunately this probably means that KD will stay with OKC.

    Hehe, it wouldn't surprise me though :) ever since the ref scandal, it has still been off on some stuff and the 2 min reviews really aren't helping. "sorry we missed that play" - - - "better luck next year, [insert team not named, Warriors, lol] ", haha. I mean sure the argument could be made that if they played better it wouldn't matter, but... Some of these ref mistakes in the final 2 mins of the game continue to be disappointing. The argument could also be made... If the refs could do their jobs better... Maybe we could just focus on bball. no excuse for this Bull**** in 2016 with all of this technology.

    I really like the spurs and have always been a huge fan of Duncan and Ginobli. They were a great team this year and was looking forward to them facing the Warriors in the WCF finals.

    But obviously unlike OKC, they didn't have another gear to go to. Despite their great defense and system, they simply couldn't match the offensive and physical talents of the Thunders, which would have probably been the case against the Warriors.

    So fare thee well Spurs, I look forward to Duncan ginobli and POP (like the white walkers they are)returning again next season.

    Right, same here... I figured OKC would screw up.. Yeah, I was really hoping for a shot at KD too (no matter how small). Unless OKC reverts and loses in 4...in terrible fashion, Durant isn't leaving (or I wouldn't think he would be).

    In the last two seasons:

    San Antonio with Bruford, Pop, Leonard (MVP:confused:), Duncan, Parker, Ginobilli, Green and now LMA. Best NBA culture, the journalist love
    Arrived to a WCF : Zero times


    Houston with cheap Alexander, Maury, no coach, no defence Harden, leasy DH, TJ and Brewer and the journalist hate
    Arrived to a WCF: 1 time

    :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

    I agree.

    They do the same here in Europe about soccer, they refuse to use technology saying things like "slows the game too much/it ruins the natural aspect of the game" and only in the last 10 years half countries had problems with corrupted refs, arranged seasons...

    The funny thing is that before they got caught, every time one person tried to start the argument (on tv or newspaper), he was labelled as a conspiracy theorist...

    Well I am surprised by the outcome, but between both teams, the Thunder had the two best players, so maybe it is not so shocking.
