How the hell does Shaq have a doctorate? The dude is dumb as hell and is never prepared with the requisite information for the show.

KO hurt Love's shoulder in that incident a couple of years back, but Shaq was arguing that he put him in an armbar, which is an elbow hyperextension hold. He's arguing that KO is dirty, but he doesn't even know what injury Love had...

I think olynyk reminds the old guys of Laimbeer...which is Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ing ridiculous because they are almost nothing alike except for the fact that they are 7 footers that can shoot 3s

Spurs vs. Warriors. Thoughts on that series?

My guess, Warriors in 5.

Spurs will play them close some games but Warriors just have too much firepower.

ALSO, losing Parker could hurt SAS a lot, even though they are blowing out HOU right now w/o Leonard and Parker.

Spurs might win a game, I'd be really surprised if they got 2.  I've said from the beginning of the playoffs, that I don't think any team even gives Golden State a series (including the Cavs).  I just don't see how they lose as long as they are healthy.

Looks like the Rockets are having one of those "Boston in Washington no-show" nights.

Spurs now up 28.

Man this team is doing it without Leonard and Parker.

Pop must have ripped into them recently  :laugh:

He wasn't too happy with their play recently, even despite a Game 5 win. They answered.

Rockets are much worse. They were up against Kawhi-less Spurs, in homecourt at that.

LOL at the Rockets fans cheering Harden as he checks out. If that was Boston with our best player laying an egg in a blowout elimination loss, our fans would boo his ass off the floor and into exile.

Horrible garbage by the rockets. They are who we thought they are!

Bad defense, no depth.

Also up 25-9 in free throws, and yet down 40, incredible!

Total class by the Spurs. No showboating, no dancing, cheering, laughing on the sidelines, or anything. Just pure business all the way through and then classy handshakes and well wishes to the opponent. Other teams including the Celtics could learn from that.

If the MVP award wasn't already decided and if it was based on the whole season, this game alone would have ended Harden's expectations to win it.

I did have the Spurs in 7 against the Warriors but with Tony Parker out...no one will stop Steph Curry.

This is where their season ends. Against a superteam with that thug Draymond Green. Also Pau Gasol's fourth Western Conference Finals appearance.
