Westbrook and Durant are dangerous and can score any time they touch the ball...Perkins looks terminally grouchy like he needs to take a big dump...

I luv it when white folk talk roundball. It's like gym climbers talking alpinism.

Don't badmouth Jerry West.
I will come over there and eat your f*#king face off.....
There's a number of other white boys that might have a word or two about it too.
Stockton, Dirk, Kidd, Parsons, Ginobli, Nash, Love, Lee, Gasol, Gallinari, Rubio, Pekovic.
Not that I give a rats ass. You're the one that brought up white folks talking bball.
The only important thing is that Portland took two in a row from Houston, IN HOUSTON, and now it's off to Rip City!

Survival, sorry, I thought maybe you caught what has been going around. ;-)
I really wonder what sort of magic The Zenmaster will pull off in NYC.
Seems like he's a steep hill to climb, no? I don't see how he can do
much in less than 3-4 years, if that.

Watched the third quarter of the OKC/Memphis game while at the gym. Memphis was owning them - up by 17! Then I come home and turn it on with 4 minutes left and Memphis is the proverbial deer in the headlights. They quit going in low to Gasol and stood around waiting until the clock ran out and then shot a desperation shot. They did pull it together in OT, if only just. Funny game.
Can Zach Randolph spell his own name?

I give you joy of the Trailblazers Larry. 2 wins of 2 games, both at Houston. Woot!

Whoh there Barak, you can't afford the Skittles and they already have 3000 pages of attacking each other over on the ranchers and BLM beat the meat thread. Lebron is a super savvy dude and we should let the George Zimmerman dead horse sleep some more is my thought.
As noted above, it's all about money. As long as you remember that A) you don't own the team , ie, they are not SEATTLE'S team and never were, they happen to be there so the owners could make money, and B) The owners can do what they want (as long as the league agrees). Sorry for the reality check there. Interesting that Wiki doesn't have a complete list, but this is what they have. Remember when the Baltimore Bullets were riding high? Bo longer exist. Sort of. Zack Randolf is their main man now in place of Wes Unsold, they were called New Jersey Nets and now they are the Brooklyn Daddies or some such. I made that up to piss off the fans, I should have mentioned that Mormons love Jazz or something along those line to describe how that team got named: the facts follow.

Raptors/nets game is shaping up for a good battle. Portland needs to seal the deal tonight. The bullets look like they might sweep the bulls.
