Sure, I wouldn't have been pissed if that was a foul. But that was one play and it would not have changed everything. The Thunder demolished them on Sunday. But its just one game and if hte Spurs win tonight the series is almost over.

Lebron was clearly coasting in the regular season. He is hte best player in the NBA and IMO at worst the second best player of all time. Guy is just a freak.
I expect Brooks to completely change how he manages the roster next year during the regular season. KD/RW need to have their minutes reduced by at least 2-4 per game and to give KD some days off. He just looks tired out there and thats not a good sign moving forward. I love the move to start Jackson because that is making both KD/RW life easier by taking away some of the offensive pressure on them.
Jackson is a damn good player and as soon as he gets more consistent minutes will start to show his true ability.

Just remember how you mocked me in two years. It will absolutely happen. You do not watch the team play. Adams had absolutely zero clue how to play basketball in an organized manner when he was first brought into the team. He is learning at an accelerated rate.
Are you not watching him finish around the rim? Are you not watching him defend the top big men in the league? Do you not see his incredible athleticism? How about his soft touch around the rim? You are blind if you do not see what his potential is. So many people who have covered Thunder games (Kerr/Van Gundy/Barkley) have all said the same thing. Adams is going to be a big time player.
So again, just remember how you mocked me and how stupid you are going to look when Adams averages a double/double in 2-3 years.

Who is he jumping to make the top centers list?
Dwight
Noah
Hibbert
Gasol
Drum
Cousins
Al Jeff
Horford
Brook
Bogut
Vucevic
Pekovic
Tyson
That's 13 and I'm being nice and not counting Duncan who won't be around and guys like Monroe/Kanter/Favors/Emiid
Do you not remember a very similar conversation we had about KD 5 years ago?
Just remember my words and put it in your sig if you want. Adams will be considered a sure fire top 10 center.
Are you going to completely discount what guys like Kerr/Van Gundy/Barkley say?
Do you think Adams is going to be a scrub or something?

You're comparing STEVEN ADAMS talent level to KEVIN DURANT.............................................
Charles Barkley just says ****, he doesn't watch college basketball, he doesn't study, he just sits in a studio and talks ****.
Steve Kerr draft picks as Suns GM - Rudy Fernandez - Alando Tucker - DJ Strawberry - Robin Lopez - Dragic - Earl Clark. So he drafted 1 really good player....WHO HE LET WALK.....then the next Regime corrected the mistake by bringing him back. Lets look at his trades? He traded Kurt Thomas AND TWO 1st round picks for just an 8mil trade exemption, one of those picks? Serge Ibaka. He traded Marion for 60 year old Shaq....he then dumped Shaq to Cleveland for Ben Wallace after he realized he's an idiot. Point of all that? Steve Kerr sucks at judging talent.

Tonight. NBA is great. Don't hate!
He has played defense without fouling at a high rate when he is given extended minutes. Adams will be a top 10 center no doubt about it.
I'm not comparing the players just the similiarity of what is happening right now. You thought it was impossible for KD to be better than players like Al Jefferson. You just didn't see future progression because you didn't watch him play. Its the same situation. You and GF have not watched Adams play that much at all. Mostly because Brooks didn't utilize him properly but the times he was out there he was productive. All he needs are minutes nad his numbers will be excellent. Mark it down, he will be a double digit rebound guy next year. The points will take another year or two to develop.
LOL of thethe making stuff up.
What am I making up?

When making your point, YOU brought up the KD situation....so YES....YOU are comparing the two. KD was the #2 pick and one of the best college scorers around. Steven Adams is a project pick in the teens. Again, how is this similar?
You also have yet to tell me who of the 18 centers I named he will jump.
What is the difference if I give you a list? You are just going to "LULZ" all of them and then in two years you won't admit you are wrong.
The comparison I was making is that you made a list of players that KD would NEVER be better than and then when I said he would be better than all of them other than Lebron you laughed. Its the same situation but I am saying Adams iwll be a top 10 center and not second best player.

I want to hear your reasons as to how he's going to improve so much in the next 2 years to jump those guys. It's not like i listed questionable guys, would you agree everyone on that list is a legit NBA center other than the young guys like Favors, Kanter, Emiid obivously. Other than Tyson I'm pretty sure everyone I listed is a 15/10 + guy....I just dont see how you think Adams is going to be that in 2 years.....
Adams is more athletic than everyone on that list aside from Drum/Howard and Adams is probably a little stronger than Howard. He has an offensive game but hasn't been able to show it on an extended basis because he was a rookie. I know what I am seeing. I'm glad you put it in your sig.
