It sounds like Parker is playing tonight. Hopefully, he will be hobbled a bit at least.

He still has to make that FT. Also, why the heck is Westbrook taking more shots than KD? We know Iverson used to chuck up 30+ shots when he was playing the point, but he didn't have a Kevin Durant to pass the ball to. Westbrook is an amazing athlete and player, but he has to step back and distribute more. I think OKC would be a better team if he did.

I agree. KD still has to make that shot. It just seems like Joey Crawford is always in the middle of something controversial.

As for Westbrook....he shoots entirely too much, especially from behind the 3 point line. He's a horrid 3 point shooter yet he still puts up 6 or 7 three point shots per game.

Wilbon said it best, OKC's undoing will be their lack of judgement. He's absolutely right. We have talented players but they are dumb as bricks.

Prime example. OKC went on a huge run to overcome a 20 point deficit and take the lead with about 6 minutes to play. Instead of continuing to do the things that got them that lead they reverted back to the same bad habits that led to them falling behind by 20. E.g. bad 3 point attempts, excessive one on one play, lazy ball movement, etc.

On top of that KD led the charge that got them back into the game and instead of riding the hot hand to victory the pretty much froze out their own star player trying to run plays for Reggie Jackson and Caron Butler. wut!

Even if they get past Memphis I doubt they'll make a run to the Finals. They're too stupid.

Aside from San Antonio I believe Memphis is the team best suited to beat Miami.

New Bulls 2014 offseason plan:

1) Amnesty Carlos Boozer.
2) Bring over Mirotic
3) Trade pick #19 and Taj Gibson and Mike Dunleavy to the Lakers for pick #6 or the Kings for pick #7.
4) With pick #6/#7, select Noah Vonleh.
5) With pick #16, select Nik Stauskas.
6) With the 19 million in cap space you have, sign Carmelo Anthony.

Next year's team:

Rose / DJ Augustin
Butler / Stauskas
Melo / Snell
Vonleh / Mirotic
Noah / Cheap Veteran

Mavs season on the line tonight. Don't be surprised of I blow this up into a full blown chatter thread.

Nice little run by the Mavs to end the 1st. Gotta keep up that hot hand behind the arc.

You are so high. Nobody in their right mind makes that deal.

I didn't think they'd win this one.

Hopefully they can get game 6 at home, then anything can happen in game 7.

Francesa just said the Lakers asked the Bulls permission to speak to Thibodeau and the Bulls said ok. Hmm. He also said Thibodeau has been unhappy in Chicago for a few years now.

I love Thibs and would hate to see him be the one turn around the Lakers, but damn it would be hilarious around here if he bounced.

 

[Simpleton]

I'd consider it for their first.

 

[Smitty]

No way.

That'd be horrible for the Bulls. But it's clear that he has a rift with the GM and the GM probably has the idiot owner's ear.

 

[Texas Ace]

The Rockets should be all over Thibs if the Bulls are willing to let teams talk to him.

He is EXACTLY what that team needs and he could get them to Finals within 2 years.

McHale isn't terrible, but I don't think much of him as a coach too. Thibs would bring toughness and defense to a team that sorely needs both.
