Hell, that's expected. He DID say he wasn't worried if Durant joined the Dubs. After all, Queen James is unstoppable...

Wonder if he'll bet....

 

[Heatles84]

I don't see why not.

Listen, how many times have you watched a Thunder game and shouted " Fucking Westbrook, stop heroballing" ?

I bet it is 99.9 % less than KD has.

The Thunder have been nickel and dimming for years.

Their shit caught up with them.

Lebron, Bosh, Love, Drexler, Garnett, Ray Allen all joined Super Friends to win a chip.

None of them have a asterisk next to their names.

Good for Durant.

Great for the Warriors and their fans.

Let the Westbrook bidding begin a month before the Deadline...lol

That right there is why I don't blame KD for leaving. They just started spending this past season.

Fuck your sauce

Any big free agent news happen yet?

 

[Black Adam]

He was.probably like:

The Warriors signed who? Fuck that, I'm going fishing.

Tiiiimmee to go...

This simultaneously dampens the long term criticism over lebrons "decision" and provides an obstacle worthy of boosting the legacy of whoever is able to take them out.

First they gave him a 73 win team to take out... now this. Big opportunity.

This is scary

Dubs, get Nowitzki on the cheap, please...

 

[bksballer89]

This is true.

 

[Heatles84]

Love to hear what's being said on that banana boat right now...lol

Maybe us teaming up isn't such a bad idea right now.

 

[Wamu]

I hope after next season ends G.S. trades KD to Cleveland for LeBron.

People say super teams are bad for the league... I disagree.

The league has enjoyed the most success during periods of great teams.

It makes things more interesting. Great teams are fun to watch. Great teams losing are even more fun to watch. No losing in that situation for the nba.

Yep, FA @WiggyRuss is currently trying to decide what number he wants on his Warrior jersey.

For just a moment Dirk considered the Lakers until he remember they're located in LA-LA Land.

I mean as fans of other teams it takes the fun out of the game knowing your team don't stand a chance. It is no doubt fun for fans of super teams but for the rest of the league? Not really. It is going to be Cleveland vs GSW in the finals next June. The only thing that has a chance of stopping that is possibly the Spurs. Rest of the league doesn't stand a chance

A Warriors jersey? Fuck that! I just ordered my Michael Beasley Miami Heat jersey.

 

[Wishbone]

Did Durant tell Curry "You the real Mvp"?

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

In other news....

It looks like Timmmy might be quietly hanging them up in the most Timmmmy low key fashion ever.

I hope its not true, but I got this horrible feeling in my stomach now.

This is one story I will be happy to be wrong about.

It doesn't bother me because :

1. It's the owners own faults.
2. Heat benefitted from it as much as anyone.

But, it sucks to know that no matter what you do for quite some time, chances are it can't be near enough to win.

That being said, it very hard to win, and that as long as the Heat are doing all they can do, then you just look for the positives and continue to support the players on the court.

True. The NBA's always had dynasties. Celtics in the '60s, Lakers in the '80s, Bulls in the '90s, Lakers again in the '00s.
