    And what's amazing is that this has effectively happened twice in two years, for entirely unrelated reasons.

    You're a goddamn flip-flopper! You just repped me.

    No way this doesn't go to a game 7. All depends on when the Miami doctors decide to give Wade the pain shot because that man is fucking broken. And it appears they can only do it once or twice every few weeks.

    The Nuggets just lost their GM because they wouldn't pay him and then fired George Karl.

    Think about that. They just willfully parted with BOTH the 2012-2013 Coach of the Year AND Executive of the Year.

    This is Donald Sterling levels of bad ownership. I'm absolutely shocked.

    I read that last night and my first reaction was what the fuck are they thinking, Karl will get work no problem.

    Fun little bet:

    Series goes 7, you can change my signature/avatar to whatever you want for 7 days.

    It doesn't, I get to do the same to yours for one day for every game it DOES go.

    Giving you odds!

    Dear rest of the world,

    Meet Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green.

    They're pretty good, huh?

    Hard to believe that Green got cut by one of the worst teams of the decade.

    The Spurs are like a team made up of all the old guys at the park. They cant jump, they cant run, but they put the ball in the basket. You bust your ass on defense and they are just so patient and confident, they kill you at the buzzer.

    It was a great game. Well officiated, well played, and that shot was definitely good.

    Ok..Heat in 5.

    Just saw the replay, hell of a shot.


    also saw this on Twitter

    @NotBillWalton

    THIS JUST IN: Dwyane Wade actually ISNT going home to Gabrielle Union tonight; Tony Parker is. Yup, he stole her too.

    Nom, I was watching the game. I swear on Tom Brady that my laptop is gimped and I can't move it or it fucks up. Also, I was talking to my girlfriend during the game while eating. I just know how this series is going to go. Game 7 it is. Fuck both these teams, but in the spirit of good basketball:

    That KL rebound tip drill was fucking crazy. That Tony Parker play was even crazier. Can Tiago Splitter get a shoutout? That awkward post game is fun to watch. It doesn't look good, it doesn't look bad. It just goes in. Also, I've always had a quiet softspot for Udonis Haslem. First his name is Udonis. Second he's been rocking the same braids FOREVER. The fact he hits that jumper like butter so goddamn consistently deserves some recognition.

    Nothing makes me happier than Mario Chalmers getting clowned, even if it is by the slimiest douchebag in the league.

    I am looking forward to watching Duncan and Lebron compete to see who is more surprised to get a foul called against them. Here's James after smacking both a guy's elbows on a lay-up attempt.

    More importantly, unknown to a college basketball hater like you, he used to be a house when he played at Florida.

    He lost a bunch of weight in France and changed his game up.

    Unless I entirely misremembered the play (which is possible), LeBron is shocked because LeBron in fact did not foul him, someone else did. Bosh, I think. But I can't find a replay, and I may be thinking of a different play.

    In related news, seriously, fuck Joey Crawford.
