It's not fair that Russ didn't get to finish the season on the court.
Crystal Ball:
The Thunder get a few titles, and it's with this front-court: Greg Oden, Thabeet, Serge, and old Nick. I can't wait for the 30 for 30 about Oden's redemption in OKC.
@Fezzy I think Presti loved Harden and knew how good he was. I think that Presti just didn't see the sense in dropping 3 max contracts on 3 ball-dominant perimeter scorers.
Why wouldn't we just let Perk and Martin go and pay however much we need for Al Jefferson or Pekovich (or even Okafor [or even Bynum])? That seems obvious.
I hope that the terms of the settlement were that Durante acquired 4 Tree and Leaf "Durantula" T-Shirts and 2 loud city tickets to a November match-up versus the Pistons.
That ZZ top add ( > > > > ) reminded me of how much I hate James Harden now.
I didn't know it would be so easy to turn on my Thunder-bros.
I think I still love him though maybe. I dunno.
@endercpl @D@nny I don't know what you're saying because, since the playoffs began and other than Durant, I am most comfortable with Fish jackin up 3s. They're going in.
FISH ALL DAY.
@anonymous12345 I think that you guys think I'm being sarcastic when I'm not.
Fisher's defense on Manu will also propel us past San Antonio (freeing up Thabo to guard Parker all game).
I can't figure out much use for Fisher versus the Griz though, so I guess that KD will just have to hit 3 more game-winners.
@Bry Bry It sounds crazy, but I'm telling you guys: Fish is LeBron's kryptonite. Just wait. Brooks will be pissed that he didn't realize it last year.
I can't wait until Derek Fisher's 4th quarter defense on LeBron pushes us past the Heat.
Go Derek Fisher!
@TrueChamp I miss Royal too. And Cole's leg-kicks.
Can I be the irrational Fish guy? Is that niche filled?
I'm the irrational Fish guy. I called it. It's mine.
@Bry Bry Everyone's just scared of how excellent the team will be with Derek Fisher bull-doggin LeBron in the 4th. Fish all day, y'all.
@blueRAP @Lost Ones Perk made some good passes today. I'm not mad at Perk.
@Lost Ones I'm happy with Perk setting the tone on Gasol for the first 6 minutes of the 1st and 3rd. He should not play otherwise, even in this series.
@OBoy I'm sticking with it. You can't make me take back, and I won't. Derek Fisher for President.
I'm kind of seeing Fish's defensive value; he can't guard speedy guards, but his spacing, strength, and active hands are solid for offensive types like Harden. I'm amazed at how well Fish guarded Harden in that 4th.
I see less value for him versus the Griz, and I hope that he's not over-used.
If we get past the Griz though: I hope that he gets time on Manu.
And if we get past San Antonio, I would be interested to see Fish on Lebron in instances where he's getting his legs beneath him and we need to slow him down and bully him some.
...This was a really insane post. I'm sorry.
@KidCanada13 miss him.
