When Westbrook is on the floor, OKC looks a quality team; when he's not, they look like a 20-win lottery bound team. Yep. This is precisely why I'm behind Westbrook for MVP. Listening to Colin Cowherd's weird vendetta against him is hilarious, in that it seems in every show he has to plug in how much more valuable LeBron is than Russ and how all those triple-doubles are just stat-pads. Is LeBron valuable? Oh, absolutely. It'd be ridiculous to say no. He's going to end up as one of the two greatest players ever. But for this season's race alone, it comes down to where either team would be without them. Without LeBron, Cleveland's probably a 7 or 8 seed. Without Russ, however? OKC isn't a seed at all; they're lottery. And not the close lottery, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This solution is easy. Treat these fouls like a technical foul (or flagrant foul)....two shots and keep possession of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 There's the Player of the Season award and the Guy You Pick First in One Game to Decide it All award. Harden or Westbrook for the former, always LeBron for the latter. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Marv call LA the Lakers as they went into the real break? I thought I heard that from the other room. Unrelated, but awesome: Good for you Patrick Beverly.

You can forgive me for mistaking Harlan for Marv; it's the same voice except Harlan hasn't lost it. 24 minutes ago, dfwabel said: The Vacation Bible School crowd known as a Thunder home game fans are pretty bad. That's really funny. With the Cavs sitting for a bit, does that mean Hubie Brown gets a break too? I think I've had enough Hubie for a while. The nice thing about opening round playoffs is that a lot of people get a chance to call national games. The tradeoff is that some of them get kind of grating. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Mark Jones and Hubie are the #3 ESPN/ABC team, so they'll likely work over Ryan Rucco and Doris. Plus, they could move the two to radio. Mark Jones is 55?!? Black don't crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say just how much of a sneaky good signing Joe Johnson was for Utah. His clutch playoff experience is invaluable to the Jazz when someone's been poking voodoo dolls of his teammates (Gordon Hayward tonight and Rudy Gobert this series until tonight). Oh yea, he's also one of Rodney Hood's favorite players growing up: It's been awesome seeing the little stories and camaraderie this like this that this team has had this year despite the voodoo. Hood was also big, scoring 18 points late to help ice the game. Now, another Joe on this Utah team can't be overlooked: Joe Ingles. While he only scored 8 points tonight, he dished out 11 assists and pulled in 6 rebounds...not to mention how well he can get in the heads of defenders. Not bad for someone who looks like a slightly younger Toby Flenderson: AKA @LanRovr0 on Twitter LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I think Utah's got this with Griffin out. They would then play the Warriors next round assuming SA and HOU advance, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWhiz96 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Yes, they'd play GSW assuming the other two you mentioned win out, though I would hesitate about advancing SA at the moment. They seem to really be struggling containing Conley and finding ways to score outside of Kawhi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Akronite- Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 That OT game between Memphis and San Antonio was incredible. I'm rooting for Memphis not because I dislike anyone from the Spurs as an org, but just because they've won enough already. Plus I love Conley and Gasol. Too bad Rondo went down and the Cs are back in the series, was hoping for Boston to get knocked off early. Rooting for Utah because without Griffin the Clips are screwed (not that they were going anywhere in the first place). Love me some Gobert. Also, if the Clips don't bring in another star they should probably start considering to blow it up because between injuries and aging their window was basically never opened. Every time a team sweeps they bring up rust v rest as if we haven't discussed it every year. It's really a moot point because what can you do about it? You can't throw a game in order to stay in rhythm for the next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
