OKC blows 17 point lead in minutes and trail by 3.

Dear god that is a terrible fucking idea. The NBA is already the sports world’s haven for bandwagon fans. Add Twitter to the mix, and a little bit of legalized betting, and you’ve got some shit I will probably not watch anymore.

Referees will tweet with fans DURING the game? Like at halftime? Or will they call timeouts so they can answer tweets? While they do that, the team mascot can substitute-referee in his bear suit.

OKC barely hanging with LeBron/Rondo-less Lakers at home. They are an embarrassment to our division.

Didnt they just beat the Blazers...?

Zubac is good

My point is every team can struggle against bad teams at some point. When we led Cavs by 3 points in first half, Strenuus thought it was the perfect time to say we’ll fail in playoffs cuz we were only up 3 against bad team.

I’m confused too. I think they mean referees who are not reffing that specific game?

 

[KingSpeed]

Westbrook at line for 3 down 3

 

[KingSpeed]

Westbrook clutch

Great...they already aren't paying attention to the game

I mean, to be fair, OKC is going to fail in the playoffs too... so not exactly the best way to prove the point when calling me out. lol.

And he was 5-12 from three which isn't that terrible.. somehow 2-18 from two, don't even know how it's possible.

Yeah, but the Blazers were also missing LeBron and Rondo, so...

He needed a rebound ?

But Steph is a shooter and Russ isn’t. Haven’t we always known that? We should compare their rebounds, dimes and blocks.

Not hatin on russ here but Steph is one of the most unique talents in the history of the NBA I think he’s the 2nd best player in the league on his offense alone. I think no one player alters another teams defense as much as Steph, it is crazy how good that guy has become. I dont like GS at all but he’s pretty incredible.

Bones kept telling everyone schroder sucks.

I did too, but I think a little bit of that has to do with Noel missing 3 games and only playing 12 minutes last night. They don't have much depth so their 2nd unit really took a hit when Noel went down.
