  1. Whoa -- a game has broken out.
  2. At this rate, this game is gonna last longer than "Roots."
  3. Wasn't Splitter one of Ivan Drago's sparring partners?
  4. Scotty probably wouldn't mind getting tossed, rather than watching this carnage.
  5. Gotta love Popovich. His team is playing great, but one lousy play causes him to jump Parker. Explains all the rings -- that, and Timmy.
  6. Norman Dale: Five players on the floor functioning as one single unit: team, team, team - no one more important that the other.#Spurs
  7. @rockyparise I love Scotty, but I doubt he will. Just the nature of the coach-star relationship in the NBA.
  8. @rockyparise He's Iverson II, except AI never had anybody like Durant as a teammate. (Kerr rightly called him out for over-dribbling.)
  9. @rockyparise Westbrook just has no clue. He's playing right into the Spurs' hands with his selfishness.
  10. @rockyparise Tremendous story.
  11. @rockyparise You read the feature on Battier in the New York Times the other year? If not, Google it. It was called "The No-Stats All-Star."
  12. C's with 11 points in the first quarter. Who do they think they are, the Sixers?
  13. @Pflanns Still don't understand what Rondo was doing in Game 6, and the first three quarters-plus of Game 7. Seemed strangely listless.
  14. Spurs drew four charges in the fourth quarter. And it wasn't flopping; it was OKC silliness.
  15. Watching Spurs-Thunder, which after watching Sixers-Celtics is akin to cleansing one's palate.
  16. @BobCooney76 Sounds about right, Bobby. How 'bout Dre for Pau? Or Dre for GS's lottery pick? Love EB -- total pro -- but it's amnesty time.
  17. @dno253 @thall123what Hawes was minus-10, Brand minus-8, Holiday minus-7, Iguodala minus-6. Only ones on the + side were Meeks, Allen, Lou.
  18. @BrettHambright Thanks. We gotta ball again soon. Haven't played in forever.
  19. @BrettHambright @gonzoCSN Lou is a a streaky, undersized 2 who can't defend. What's not to like? ;-)
  20. @BrettHambright @gonzoCSN Lou is apparently gonna opt out of his contract. Don't see where he would have more value than here, though.
