Not NBA related but another reason I love my city

You don't want to ride the DC metro after midnight anyway. Hell, better not ride it after dark either

We didn't get the participation on the NBA playoff pickems that we were looking for but then again, I'm not sure it was announced properly.

For that reason, we will make the first week of picks a bye and wipe the slate clean so any who join now can start from the beginning.

Not exactly sure when that is but join now and we will make the announcements soon.

When are you taking me out? You had me at little Caesar's.

You gotta give it up on the first date.

 

[Inimical]

Full coverage. I'm straight, homie.

 

[bksballer89]

Spurs, Wiz, and Rockets looked the best this weekend IMO.

Utah and Milwaukee had the most impressive wins though. Especially the Bucks

"Y'all seen Casino, right?

You know, the one with Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci in Vegas? Anyway — that one.

If you want to know what it’s like to meet Pat Riley, you need to watch that movie.

When I heard that Miami was interested in me this summer, I wasn’t really seeing it at first. Nothing against the Heat, but I didn’t know how I’d fit there.

Then I met Pat Riley."

Then Pat says, “We’re going to get you in world-class shape. Not good shape. Not great shape. World-class shape.”

I mean, I’m in the NBA. In my mind, I’m in already good shape. But do I eat a Philly steak every now and then when I’m home? You know I do.

So Pat’s looking at me like, “Give us a season, and you’ll see. World-class.”

Even the way this man pronounces world-class is world-class, you know what I mean?

And then he says to me, “Tell me something about Dion that I don’t already know.

Not about basketball. About life.”

 

[TJL]

We’ll get to that, but that’s not the story I told Pat.

I told Pat about some of the shit I’ve seen, and some of the people I’ve lost. By the time I was 12 years old, both my mom and dad got shot. I’ve had brothers, cousins, uncles and friends get murdered. Too many to count, for real.

You know what the crazy thing about death and violence is? You get numb to it. You really do.

So because of everything I’d seen and lost, I decided from a young age: You know what? I’m just gonna f***ing ball out.

The Goat talking about beating KD's ass in one on one


"
Go ahead and ask him who won our last game.

Ask him. He’ll tell you.

He won a lot, too. But I got him plenty.

Kev used to talk wild trash to me, too. People don’t know that about him. Of course, you know me. I’m coming at him fully-loaded. But he’d go right back at me. He’d try to post me up, and I’d be on some Philly Baby Rucker shit. I was pulling out every trick. I’d be squeezing his hips, right in the weak spot.

I loved it. I loved that team.

I genuinely thought I was going to be back in OKC this season, and we were going to make another run at it. But things didn’t work out that way, because basketball is a business. When I got a call from Miami, I went down there and walked into the O.G. Pat Riley’s office. It was damn near the best thing that’s happened in my NBA career.

I remember when I made my decision to sign with the Heat, I had to break the news to my son. He’s three."

Westbrook's year ended last night, but what a year he had. Hoping for his sake the Thunder realize the great talent they have with him and sign a decent free agent to play with him for next yr.

 

[gordontrue]

Can't wait for the NFL draft to end. We're right in the thick of the NBA playoffs, and all I hear anytime I turn on sports radio is draft draft draft.

Going to be hard to do that when everyone wants to either join the Cavs or Warriors and be a modern day

Raptors have a chance to put out the Bucks out tonight. Will be interesting to see if the Bucks do as they did in game 3 and win at home or if the Raptors get their 3rd win a row.

I hope the Bucks win to push the series to 7.......game 7 would prob, be what? Saturday?

then the series with the Cavs starts Monday....that sounds good to me.

Yep. Series will start monday no matter what. If Raps win tonight, they'll have 3 days off. If not, whoever wins the series will have just the 1 day off.

Speaking of which, do we have any Bears fans on here right now? They just gave up a crap ton to move up one spot in the draft to get Trubisky of all players......LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!
