Lakers vs OKC has been fantastic. Both teams have had 18 point leads at one point. Lakers have been in it through their strength at the line where OKC have been pretty useless only shooting 67%. Westbrook again is struggling, his percentage is really poor and Thunder have a few too many players under 50%.
Jodie Meeks going off has certainly been a big help to Los Angeles too. Kendall Marshall is having a brilliant season for everyone who plays against the Lakers. Another scoreless game, but double figure assists for him. Durant has been poor too, scoring good numbers and getting a triple double, but defensively he hasn't been very good and like Westbrook, he's making plenty of attempts with no outcome. Huge win for LA, huge.

deadspin.com/exclusive-the-extended-donald-sterling-tape-1568291249Guessing everybody's heard this by now, or at least knows about it. Basically it's the recording of Sterling's argument with his girlfriend and fuck me, that's the most annoyingly forced thing ever. Nobody talks to someone like that, she's being a cunt trying to force him into an admission of racism, and I think in the end he just does it to shut her up. She keeps asking why he hates black people when he never says that at any point. It's just annoying how she's exploiting him here. He may be racist but that's fine if he does so privately, he shouldn't have to worry about his girlfriend recording him admitting to it. I feel sorry for him to a point because he's been exploited completely by a horrible slut.

I don't get it. Heard about the story the other day, didn't really pay much attention. There's a back story to it, apparently he doesn't want to be associated to Magic Johnson because he's black.
I don't like either of them anyway.
lol

To be fair even though she's blatantly exploited him, apparently this has been a long time coming and he often says things out of the media limelight that made other owners/players uncomfortable so they're gonna come down pretty hard on this. It's constant coverage over here about it.
Quite enjoying it this year, especially with the Raptors against the Nets right now in the playoffs, Toronto's gone mad for it

A $2.5 million fine, wow. I know it's pocket change to him but it's cool to see them go ahead and give him the highest fine possible. lmao @ him refusing to sell too, he'll probably be dead before they pry the Clippers from him if he takes it to court and shit. His girl was a bitch though, feel kind of sorry for him. But then he's a racist cunt so it's whatever.

I'm not surprised, first time they've been into the playoffs for about five years isn't it? I'm glad they're doing well though, the post-Bosh years haven't been particularly kind to them, I really like watching DeRozan play though, his game's improved a lot this season, he's gradually growing into a very good all round player, most of his averages have gone up this year. If I had to choose though, I want the Nets to win this series, mostly because I think we have a better chance of beating them in the next round.
Crazy looking at the East vs the West. Toronto's record got them 3rd in the East, that same record wouldn't even have you in the playoffs in the West.

No idea when the last time they were in the playoffs was but I took a walk down to the Air Canada Centre the other day and they were playing in Brooklyn - place was absolutely manic with big screens outside and huge crowds, insane atmosphere. I've caught one or two of the games and quite enjoyed it but even I can tell that the standard isn't as high as the west tbh, quite sloppy at times. But yeah I really like DeRozan.

Just had a look there. Haven't been past the first round of the playoffs since 2001. That's a madness.

Gutted, but winning game 1 has been a good omen since the Mavs won it, every team to lose game 1 has won the series since 2011. Hope LeBron's alright, once he went out Danny Green started dominating. I hate Manu Ginobili and Ray Allen did a great job of looking 10 years younger at times, he slashed really well especially for that huge dunk in the second half. Score line doesn't represent the game, little unfair the way it looks.

The scoreline represented what happens when the best player in the world leaves a close game with cramps though.
Seriously? Cramps? 40 year old men were playing 35 minutes and LeBron is the one who wilted?
For shame.

Regardless, trying to run 30 yards every 20 seconds with cramp, especially in your thigh, is one of the worst pains I can think of in sport. Taking into account as well the only one near 40 who played more than LeBron was Duncan, who has to move considerably less due to not having to run the offense all the time.
