Russ in his interviews since the injury has bee so refreshing.
I like happy Russ for interviews, but I missed intense Russ for games.
Deandre Liggins has a great work ethic and attitude. If Thabo has another solid regular season and gets paid on his next contract I feel Deandre can handle that spot if he continues to work hard.
Presti; don't lose this young man, someone else will pick him up and he's already cheap. Sign him to a non-guaranteed deal and then you're fine.
Pssht. Winnings for chumps. Just ask Lebron.
@OBoy @Stringer Bell @Aren't I am nothing if not high quality.
Problem: All the thunder do is take jump shots.
Solution: Trade KD & Kevin Martin for Dwight Howard because he doesn't take jump shots. And trade Westbrook for Al Jefferson because he has a low post game.
Barkley will pick us as champs for sure then!
I will say the one thing that annoys me is how so many writers are trying to sell this years playoffs as awesome... Injury has robbed us. Westbrook, Rose, Lee, Griffin, Deng and Rondo all would of been big contributors. Sucks the way it turned out.
Now it looks likely the finals will be Memphis (healthy) vs Miami (healthy). Memphis had to go through the Clips which was relatively tough but they had their struggles with Blake's ankle and Miami have had a cake walk with Milwaukee and a depleted Chicago. If they win and lose four or less games in their playoff run there are a lot of writers who want to put them in the historically great teams category for winning 60+ and going through the finals losing less than four games. I think that's bullshit when you look at the teams they have faced so far and who they are likely to face. In honesty, when healthy the three best teams in the league are probably Miami, OKC and Chicago. Miami won't play either of those at full strength.
Whilst you can never discredit what a team goes through to win the title, it really sucks that injury has robbed us of some great basketball.
@Amnesty Perkins @ErickAF Poor DXL. You'll never let him live that down.
Sometimes we make mistakes.
@GREENE1148 @KD4theWin Let him go, it's pretty funny and helping me work through the loss.
I hope we extend Brooks for another 4 years. I really like his hair gel.
@nomad Reggie has Russ fever from like two years ago where he gave away like 2 charges a game. Other than that, he's a very nice piece.
@T-Fred ESPN love talking themselves into any story that falls on the back of the latest results.
I still don't think there is a large disparity between Memphis and us. I don't think its impossible to win three straight against them. I do think we need some improved coaching and less fouling by Nick.
Ain't over till its over.
Is it in the contract of TNT & ESPN that all Playoff games must start late regardless of what times they suggest starting and finishing games?
Just tell people the real start time!!!!
