To be fair, the Thunder didn't exactly execute down the stretch either. Westbrook made some key turnovers and took some terrible shots. He should have gave it to Durant, if they had lost the game, he would be the one to blame.

Because they have a better idea of their situation after giving him the money. And the Grizzlies are in a good position with or without Randolph. The trio of Gasol, Gay, and Conley is very good moving forward.

Waiting a few months wouldn't make a difference. They instilled confidence in him before the playoffs had started, they publicly stated that he will be back, it's hardly an insult to him. They should be more worried about their financial situation moving forward.

Probably, but I still don't agree with the timing of this move. I'm happy for Zach, he's really turned his career around, but they should've waited till the CBA is all sorted out.

If there's a hardcap, there's no way they can afford Gasol and Mayo. With the massive contracts of Conley, Gay, and now Z-bo they could be in some serious financial trouble.

How did the refs not call basket interference there?

Huge mistake that has gone unnoticed.... Knicks had Anthony Carter in during the possession where Melo was called for the offensive foul. Why did Dumbtoni leave a basically inept offensive player instead of having Walker or Williams, who happen to be good 3PT shooters, to possibly prevent the C's from doubling Melo/Amare? It cannot be for defensive purposes because the C's had a timeout remaining which they were clearly going to use regardless of what the Knicks did on that possession. Oh yeah, and how many times is Melo going to settle for uncontested threes? Terrible idea to go for a three at the end of the game when you're double teamed..

<_<

The Lakers defense was terrible, especially on the CP3 pick and roll, I can't count the number of times Gasol tries to guard Paul on the perimeter today.

Kobe should be fine. I'd be very worried if I'm a Laker fan, I don't see Kobe trusting the frontcourt anymore.

We're sticking with the Wizards, but you're right, we are switching to the red color scheme.

Marc Gasol played great in the biggest game of his career, he's ready to sign a huge contract this summer. Spurs desperately need Ginobili.

I think an apology is in order.

Lets go Caps!

This series could end up going to 6-7 games, it's more evenly matched than people think.

Amazing shot by Mayo.

1. Blake Griffin 2. John Wall 3. Greg Monroe 4. Demarcus Cousins 5. Ed Davis 6. Landry Fields 7. Jordan Crawford 8. Gary Neal 9. Paul George 10. Wesley Johnson What's your list look like?

Duncan is much more active, good to see. Memphis is playing some great defense so far, even with Tony Allen in foul trouble.

Dallas needs to run and get easy buckets in transition because Portland prefers a more slow, halfcourt pace. Blazers execution late in the game was terrible, they need to put the ball in Miller's hand, he had it going, or play through Aldridge. Dirk was huge in the 4th, Kidd was shooting the ball very well, and Dallas' bench stepped up.

http://espn.go.com/nba/attendance Just thought I'd post this since the end of the regular season has passed. Pretty surprising how high Cleveland is, and the Pacers finishing last despite being a playoff team.

Yeah I always see it happen. They just installed these speed boxes all over Maryland, it's annoying as [expletive]. I haven't got caught yet, but my dad has twice, and my mom just got a ticket yesterday.

No one on Philly averaged more than 5FT's per game this season. Granger is the only one on his team that averaged more than 4FT's a game, and today he took 8 three's, with most of his 2 pointers coming off jumpshots. Coincidence that both of these teams didn't shoot many FT's today? I'm not saying there isn't superstar treatment in this league, because there is. John Wall, who relies on his ability to drive in order to score, only averaged around 5FT's a game. He gets fouled almost everytime he goes up for a lay up, and the refs hardly call it.

Snooze-fest This series won't last more than 4 games. I'd be surprised if Philly wins one game.

Smart move by the Heat to move to the zone. Philly needs to get to the line more.
