Stern was one of the best commissioners in the history of sports and some think he is still screwing up after death. You can’t make this stuff up lol.

Rozelle or Tagliabue you think?

Obviously not Roger.

But Stern is top 3.

I mean, you are the one who is demanding answers and thinks Stern is committing fraud?

You calling anyone retarded like Augustus Gloop telling a kid he's obese.
The fans are owed the truth. That's too much for your mind to grasp so now you want to talk about fatties lol

I'll just do first round in the West:

(1) OKC vs. (8) Dallas - OKC in 5
(2) Houston vs. (7) Memphis - Houston in 6
(3) Lakers vs. (6) Clippers - Lakers in 6
(4) Denver vs. (5) Warriors - Warriors in 5

Of course this could all change. Only the top 3 seeds are pretty much set.

If the chalk holds till the Semi's, the Lakers have to like their chances against the Rockets. I would give Denver a punchers chance against OKC, but OKC wins. There's the tricky part. OKC is the best team, but the Lakers match up well with them, and IMO, you dony want to let Luka and LBJ get that close to the Finals. If they get to the WCF, they are winning IMO

I think the Lakers have proven that their lineup with Luka can beat OKC. I don't think this would be possible if AD was still with the team.

I really wish Kyrie was healthy though. A first round OKC v Dallas match up could go 7 games if he was in.

It's a tough break for Dallas, but one of the reasons the trade was all time ridiculous. For all the crap about Luka being out of shape, he played more minutes than any player in the League last season. Your pairng an older, injury prone big man with an older, injury prone star in Kyrie, and talking about a 3 year window. The first year and half of next are already blown to shit. Absurd

Cannot follow a conversation? You are crying about your so-called rights and want a dead guy to pay.

Is typical of me (and others) .......smacking you around
Dt, you know you have trouble with this everywhere on the board. It happened again. Typical.
