Lebron played like shit last night
The Spurs are such a talented team, the loss didn't sting that bad

The score was 101-98 going into the 4th quarter.

Was it? I was watching it and it seemed lower going into the 4th. The Heat were stuck around 74 for like 5 minutes it seemed in the 3rd.
Who knows...I was at the gym just keeping an eye on it between sets

I absolutely love Phil Jackson, more than most people, and I have a ton of respect for him.
However, I would be extremely skeptical about bringing him into the front office. One, the amount of money he would demand to lure him out of retirement would probably be prohibitive. Especially considering that...I just don't get what his team building chops are. Yes, he's obviously a brilliant basketball coaching mind. But that works best when he already has transcendent talent to work with from a coaching perspective. When you are a GM, that knowledge just doesn't come into play as much. Give me a younger, cheaper, analytically inclined GM today and going forward.

He'll look good in Tankadelphia Red.

Guess not...
He's a rapper who has a huge Internet following. That's about all there is to know really. He's kind of weird but he seems pretty happy haha.
I''m not sure how good he is, I've actually never heard any of his songs.

Jodie Meeks str8 murkin' OKC today. WTF, mate? Thudner defense is atrocious without Thabo and even Perkins.

They did the same thing to portland a few days ago.

Holy balls, Westbrook.

This Thudner team has serious defensive problems, especially without Sefolosha and Perkins. They'd better get their shit together in the playoffs.

Also, I believe Lil B is some sort of schtick wrestling gimmick and doesn't take himself seriously as a rapper.

Blazers have closed like shit recently. Frustrating to watch only exacerbated by seeing Beverly and Harden flop all over the court. Lin was clutch as hell and Harden hit some big shots. I don't know what is going on in the huddle, but it seems like portland is the worst inbounding team in late game situations I've seen in the nba. Are they setting shit screens? Batum a garbage trigger man? That with missed shots late is going to give me a stroke.

The Rockets slide in right after the Clippers on my hate list. The Heat have fallen down to #3 as Lebron has graduated from eminently hate-able and oblivious douchebag to a guy who is self-aware and having fun as a villain.
And yeah, the Thunder have just hit the skids since Sefalosha went out. Nobody even tries to play defense except Serge.

Harden is unique because he is one of the few guys who will drive and go up with his dominant hand at the defender. That draws alot of his fouls as defenders are used to guys using their off arm and body to shield the ball when driving.
And then he goes and hits daggers.

My problem is the embellishment. Like reel said, he plays the refs and that just isn't fun to watch. There was a point tonight where he was 2-11 from the field but had like 18 points. How is that fun to watch?

Well Howard makes it so easy to hate him. Harden's head snapping and flopping bugged me even when he was with the Thudner, and Patrick Beverly's hatchet job on Westbrook last year solidifies the hate as far as I'm concerned.

The Rockets just aren't fun to watch. A lot of that is the two games I've seen with the Pelicans. Combined the Pels lost two games by 11 points. The Rockets have attempted 36 more FTs combined in those two games.
Problem for OKC is not only are the Rockets looking good for the playoffs, they are 2 games back of OKC. If the Thunder can't hang their "best regular season record" banner over Houston in just the second year after Harden is gone...
