Jaysus. SA is crushing Memphis. I mean demolishing them. 32 point lead with 4 to go in the 4th.

Utah pulled it out without Gobert on the Clippers home floor behind a throwback game by Joe Johnson.

That basket from Iso Joe brought shades of the Allan Houston game winner against Miami.

I'm so mad at the Clipps. I want that team to be good, because I like watching Chris Paul. His team really let him down.

Mad at them? Why? This is why I've never been all that excited by Blake. He just doesn't seem to have that take-over instinct. Apparently he averages about 3.2 points in the 4th quarter. Thomas averages about 10.8 or so.

I have a serious dilemma at hand. Do I listen watch the Korean broadcast of this OKC/Houston game, or Reggie Miller?

It's like choosing between being blind or deaf.

You guys watching this Rockets/OKC game? I think this one will get chippy and be really intense by the time it ends. Battle of the MVPs.

I enjoyed that cut away shot of JJ Watt with his S.O. grilling him about what color to paint the bedroom.

Rockets in control despite having a bad night from the 3 line. No doubt that Westbrook can blitz past you any given night, but not for a seven game series. But certainly worth watching, so open an intense play on both sides.

3ball started falling in, and suddenly it goes to 28 points difference. Good news for OKC is that they can talk themselves into they can do better, but the Rockets also can.

Should the Thunder concede with 5minutes to play, and rest Westbrook for the next battle? He is about to pull another triple double, with points, rebounds and turnovers. Maybe they are just waiting for it, hehehe.

The Rockets just look like a way better team. Westbrook can't put OKC on his back and carry them to beating actual good opponents. The likely MVP will get embarrassed by the one who probably should have won.

Harden's schooling of Kanter on the one play was embarrassing not only for Kanter, but for the rest of the OKC players who could have provided help, but stood there glued to the floor...

Grizz getting mauled again. This is brutal.

Grizz are another team in purgatory. Conley's locked in at 153 mil, Gasol at 110mil, Parsons at 94. ZBo and Tony Allen are FAs and they're still at 92mil going into next season.

Coach Fizdale went off on the referees in his post game conference. I'm guessing to the tune of $25,000 to $35,000. Leonard had more FTs that his team combined.

Good for him. The refs are joke a lot of times, especially in the playoffs.

At least Kanter looked like he may fair well on dancing with the stars should that ever come to pass.
