    lol, it had nothing to do with gambling.

    As usual, you remain shockingly out of touch.

    Those are the two most flagrant offenders in that regard, as well as being the two biggest faces of the NBA over the last few seasons.

    Most teams rest their starters in garbage time.

    LeBron has always been a player who loves to run up the score (he and Wade used to often stay in when they were blowing out teams in Miami) and now Curry did the same thing.

    Oh, and in case you're unaware, players don't cost me money gambling. That's not how any of this works. You have a strange obsession with gambling references. When the topic is about gambling, I'll be sure to let you know.

    Thank you, Thunder. I finally got to see Kawhi Leonard play angry.

    It was only for half a quarter, but it was still fucking awesome.

    Good thing he's on my fantasy team. I just hope the Warriors don't win this year.

    I'm guessing that you didn't see the game.

    Not judging, just saying.

    Russy got a single double.

    Jonathan Simmons had another epic chase-down block.

    Adams is now in one of Kawhi's posters.

    NBA referees are fucking retards.

    Other than that, I expect the Spurs to lose by 30 in the next game.

    Couple things:

    Congrats to Brad Stevens coaching the Eastern team! Only because of a technicality you say? I have two words for you... fuck off!

    There was another video posted of Durant and Green getting into a shouting match in their OT loss to SAC... Glorious, the feeling they will be upset in the playoffs pre finals grows every time they make contact. Green is a loud mouth, but Durant is a straight up selfish prick... I am almost glad he didn't sign with the Celtics because he seems like a locker room killer.

    Saw an article from an NY reporter saying "sources" are saying Lebron want Melo to be traded to the Cavs and he would be willing to trade Love for him. 2 things about this:

    - It really should almost be a suspendible/finable offense to use the term "sources" in these sports articles and leave it a mystery... This isn't life or death, or some huge corporate/government conspiracy. This term has really made sports reporting just absolute crap, and allow for total BS and gives these people careers who don't deserve one.

    - If it is true, then Lebron's so called basketball IQ has been a lie since he came into the league. He wants to trade a younger 20/10 guy for someone who puts in less effort and scores in the high teens.... that's it. I would lose all respect for him as a player, and probably even throw him down a couple spots in terms of his legacy because he would be proving to be cancerous and said lower basketball IQ. I will lose respect if he doesn't come out the second he hears this story and go off on the reporting.

    Link to Lebron's response: http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=18635232&sf54783808=1

    I still don't get why anyone would want Carmeno.

    I was confused when the Knicks gave up so much for him, and six years later, I think anyone who didn't know the first time around, should know now.

    Nobody does, I think that is part of their problem. Phil Jackson is trying to take care of the other part, make Melo hate him so much that he is willing to go anywhere. Phil is not coming off clever or shrewd with the tactic he is taking in this situation. Anthony has proved winning is not the most important thing to him. I hope he burns Phil and stays as long as possible.

    If they lowered their price, like a maybe 1 solid starter and 1 solid rotation player... I would listen to what they have to say.

    Charles Oakley was arrested for getting it into with NY Knicks security.

    I'm at Bucks/Heat. Whiteside really carries that Miami team. He just dominates the rim.

    Impressed by the Heat 12 game win streak. Gragic is a good player, but Whiteside is a beast. They are winning without a lot. Credit to Spolstra, he is a really good coach, and Dion Waiters is playing his best ball in a long time.

    Isn't Winslow out for the season too?

    Unbelievable, and a brutal loss tonight. Knicks are totally upside down right now.

    He is, and Waiters didn't play tonight for some reason.

    C's have more free throws than SAC in their game today, but that's not telling the story.

    This is the most home cooking game call wise (they are in SAC) I have seen all year against any visiting team. Go to with a real bad offense and they are getting creamed. They were due for a semi clunker.

    Cauley-Stein with probably the dunk of the year as I typed that. On to the next one.

    ^ Deplorable behavior...

    They should be fined 250k for disservice.
