Going back to Byron Scott, this is just fucking great.
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/byron-scott-still-rues-not-playing-his-laker-veterans-more-165231977.html
He feels he could have saved his job if he'd played a couple veterans like Brandon Bass and Lou Williams more. The dude is a fucking moron. He had Kobe Bryant's corpse, some mediocre/shit vets and the young guys who the team was looking at to be the future (like Russell and Randle). The reason he was fired probably had a hell of a lot more to do with how he constantly fucked with the young guys' playing time, having them come off the bench and play second-fiddle to the older players. No way the Lakers wanted this dipshit running a full rebuilding effort now that Kobe's gone because he's shown he has no competence working with young players.

Scott was a helluva 4th best player on those incredible Lakers teams. Sucky sucky coach.

Anyone see the "Foul" on Kanter where Leonard jumps over his back to contest a board, elbows kanter in the fucking head, then drags him down to the court only to have a foul called on Kanter? Sleeper, please continue to try and tell me the NBA refs are good.

I did but should have been a foul on the shot that Leonard took anyway, call I called it a wash.Commander of Awesome;1795107 wrote:Anyone see the "Foul" on Kanter where Leonard jumps over his back to contest a board, elbows kanter in the fucking head, then drags him down to the court only to have a foul called on Kanter?

Durant took 16 shots.
Westbrook missed 18..
That's a problem.

I was half paying attention to highlights and didn't watch the game but did I see right that the Thunder were down four with 18ish seconds left and ran a play that took 13-14 seconds?

Kyle Lowry apparently just needed a trip to south Florida to figure things out. Rough night for Miami. Down 2-1 and Whiteside went out hurt early on.

Not a fan of Draymond Green but his post game interview, while laced with arrogance...was very good.

Surprise, surprise: Curry to be named MVP.
The only question is will it be unanimous?
My guess is no and I think RW will get a 1st place vote and I could see them giving one to LBJ because LBJ.

Hard to disagree with Curry as MVP. Led the NBA in scoring, very good rebounder for his size and still almost 7 APG. Oh, and his team won the most games in history.
Durant should get votes if Westbrook and LeBron do.

I doubt it. Curry had probably one of the best seasons in NBA history but so did some other players, most notably RW(triple doubles are big stat lines and he tied the record).Automatik;1795262 wrote:It should/will be unanimous.

Only reason I could see it not being unanimous is bc the NBA is fucking stupid. See Carmelo getting a vote one of the yrs LBJ won it when it was OBVIOUS LBJ was the best player that yr (Wehn LBJ was a heat).

No one is going to remember Westbrook's season.
Curry's will be talked about forever, especially if they win it all.

James, 28, became the youngest player in NBA history to win four MVPs after receiving 120 of 121 first-place votes by league media members and analysts. The lone other first-place vote went to Knicks star Carmelo Anthony.

Pretty asinine logic don't you think? Jordan wasn't an anonymous MVP the year the Bulls broke the wins record either but somehow Curry gets that treatment?Automatik;1795265 wrote:No one is going to remember Westbrook's season.

The only way a players get unanimous is if no one else did anything spectacular all year. Certainly, RW is in that category and someone will bite even if to be a contrarian.

lol indeed. Curry very well may be the unanimous MVP (and I think he should be), but just bc someone doesnt think we'll remember RW's season doesnt mean Curry will get it. History isn't on his side.sleeper;1795269 wrote:LOL. Melo. LOL

Scoring champ
Most wins in a season
Most 3s in a season
Add that with his video-game like play and the media suckfest and you will get a unanimous vote.
Just my opinion of course, but I'll be shocked if it's not unanimous.
