Big Baby should fall right into the Rockets lap

they already signed dwight last off season

chill rockets fans its a joke

He doesnt. Bill Simmons has this weird vendetta against the Thunder, I dont understand it myself. He scrutinizes their moves and play more than any other team.

He called the them Zombie Sonics for years

His beef is with management, not the players. He's never said anything bad about the players, unless it's warranted (like Kendrick Perkins). He's said on multiple occasions that the Thunder are still a good team and a contender/favorite, but they created an unnecessary degree of difficulty that could have been avoided. Also, he's a fan of seeing teams reach their full potential, and by trading Harden, he feels that potential may never be fully realized as the perennial Finals team they should/could have been. The window to win can close quickly in the NBA, or something could go wrong. you just never know, and they gave away a sure thing. He's a fan, and perhaps more than anyone else, likes to view the NBA in a historical context. He felt a young OKC team just off its first Finals appearance was there for the long haul. That's where the criticism comes from.

Also, Durant doesn't have any beef with Simmons. He's gone on Grantland multiple times now, for various interviews. If he had a problem, he wouldn't have done a BS Report last week.

I've said this before somewhere on this board, but I think the best thunder team will be the '14-15 one (next season)

 dwights looked a lot better this season though

my opinion on him would probably be different if he was 100% healthy last season

@ScottCacciola: Asked Beno (an aspiring coach) if he had learned anything about coaching this season: "No comment."

 

[do work son]

Yeah him not being healthy, and trying to mesh those players when they couldn't keep consistent lineups because of injuries was just a bad fit. It happens.

Anybody watchin this sports awards show on Cartoon Network?

Kaep and Cam are hosting. Richard Sherman just won "Captain Clutch" over Steph Curry

Wait, so did Kaep have to present Sherman with the award? The award that he probably won, because of picking off Kaep in the endzone?

Ironically Kap is the one who handed it to him.

Much like the last time they met.

The Bulls have had to been on national TV more than any team this year

 

[Bert.]

I just walked into hoop practice and theres a bunch of 10 year olds in here talkin about Bill Russel

You know who's even saltier than Bill Russel? Oscar Robinson. Heard him on NBA radio the other day and it was just 15 minutes of complaints about the modern NBA. Even though I actually agreed with some of things he said, it was like, "damn, lighten up a little, man."

other than averaging a triple double, i dont see the hype with Oscar. i wouldnt even call him top 10 IMO

nothing like seeing all of Rose's different suits

i've noticed that. ridiculous. They should have pulled every national game as soon as Rose went down again

oh just other than averaging a triple double for an entire season. no big deal 

 

 

[do work son]

Only LeBron could turn a minor nosebleed into a broken nose. Such a baby. Quit caping for him and stay mad bro!

  yeah, what???

Other than scoring 100 points I don't really see what was so great about Wilt's night on 3/2/62.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I don't see the hype with Karl Malone.
