    Like I said its not the WWE. There are influences but it's not like the NBA is writing a storyline and forcing outcomes. All I can do is hope the pray the Rockets don't get matched up with a more popular or more profitable team next season. Either that or we pick up some homeless kid in Houston and have him be our starting point guard so we can be on the benefiting side of a rigged series.

    i don't have the stats but i swear when Ginobilli has a good game they lose more often than not, as opposed to Parker or Duncan having a good game.

    If Ibaka stays healthy and OKC regains their chemistry, Spurs are in serious trouble. The Thunder were very choppy and still won convincingly.

    TP will come out blazing in game 4. If OKC is lucky, Perkins will get tagged for 3 fouls again in the 1st quarter and Adams will get big minutes.

    Well when you are forced to rely on your sixth man off the bench, more often than not that means your starters are not producing.

    Look, I understand fans' frustration sometimes with questionable calls. But that happens in every sport. It happens. I get frustrated sometimes with certain games.

    That's why the NBA is played over a 7 game series. In general, the better teams will win a 7 game series.

    So simmer down.

    LOL @ Skip for thinking that Serge wouldn't make much of a difference...

    But Props to Skip for guessing that He would return in the first place.

    If its about popularity why did the the blazers beat the rockets. We had harden, howard, and Lin. All blazers have is lillard. By your theory we should have got to the second round.

    If people were betting, they go against pretty much everything you have said this postseason and they win all their bets.

    Harden, Howard, and Lin. The three most polarizing players in the league.

    Didn't OKC let go of Harden to keep Ibaka in the future? Good call. Ibaka is a game changer.
    Best power forward on both sides of the court in the league.

    Get rid of Westbrook and tell Kevin Durant to man up and take over the game and that is a team capable of winning multiple championships.

    I don't bet on what I say and suggest others do likewise.

    This has been one of the weirdest postseasons in memory. OKC has exceed my expectations.
