All they needed was to not goal tend and hit a couple more FTs.

Yep. If Griffen had lobbed it to Jordan like he normally does, it may have been a different outcome. The Spurs need to finish the job in game 6 otherwise I fear the Clippers will win the series.

It's fun to root against the Clippers. The NBA is more fun with a few "villain" teams like LAC, Houston, and Cleveland. I was upset that Olynyk hurt K.Love's shoulder, but I really don't want Cleveland to win the title.

He sure should have secured that last rebound.

Watch the play again. It was blatantly Austin Rivers' fault. Didn't box out the shooter.

It's fun that everyone is freaking out over Meyers Leonard right now. A player that Inf and I both wanted in the 2012 draft. (Went 2 picks before our selection of Kendall Marshall.) However, I'm inclined to agree with this guy.

Yeah, only watched it the first time. I believe it. Tough for one guy to overcome two rebounders. Austin Rivers back to his normal ineffective play after one game of effectiveness.

Did you hear Paul McCartney on the SNL 40th anniversary special? His voice is shot too.

Yeah I mean these guys have been singing for 50 years. Dylan is 74. If I can wipe my own butt when I'm 74 I'll be ecstatic let alone perform on stage for 2 and 1/2 hours.

Certainly not the same, but I found out last week that the umpire for my daughters softball league is 84. He is very vocal and runs down the baselines to make the calls. I would guessed he was in his 60s. He's my new hero.

Funny image. Non-threatening insults sent to Kelly Olynyk on Twitter after he hurt Kevin Love.

The social media manager for the Rockets (ugh, that's a job?) got fired for the tweet below.

Oh, it wasn't so bad. There's too much outrage over this kind of stuff.

From people, I agree. But tweets from companies really are no different than a press release. You need to be more professional.

It's a tricky business, Social Media. Either you get fired because you went too far, or still get the boot, because you are not getting enough public response to your posting.

Honestly, I'm surprised they fired the social media person for that when they've let SO much go over the past season. That twitter account has talked so much trash to other teams, I'm surprised whoever was running it made it this far.

I don't get it. It's the Twitter account of a sports team. Trash talking a felled opponent is to be expected.

Is it because of the gun? Please. Both these teams are from Texas.

It's because of the very rapey text combined with the gun emoji. To me "shhh close your eyes it'll be over soon" is also what your mom says to comfort you during a hurricane or bad storm. For a lot of women it is decidedly something else.

After the weak suspensions on Olynyk and JR Smith it isn't surprising that teams would be more likely to retaliate.



Why not take out your frustration on the other team if it isn't really going to cost you much.
