You heard it here first... Zaza gets one game, minimum. Book it. They might not do a single thing. But one game, book it. Or none.

Was there any doubt that the NBA would make sure the Lakers got in the top 3 and kept their pick?

The opponents best player is out and Golden State can blow out another team again. Just another day in the NBA.

This is bullshit. Golden State seems to be luck as f#ck at taking out opponents' best player and then pulling the old Steve Urkel "did I do that?" bull crap. Someone needs to take out one of their key players with an "oops" move.

One cheap move by a journeyman/ham & egger has changed the tone of this whole series. I think SA would've had a legit shot had Leonard not gotten taken out.

They were well on their way to winning game 1 that is for sure. Their disciplined defense and Kawhi were good enough to make this a long series.

I was disappointed in the Spurs last night, in that they didn't play overly physical, and play through plays a little "extra."

Love how the media keeps showing the replay of Durant's shot where Aldridge slipped his foot under Durant.

Anything to defend their precious warriors!!

Took the day off work, turned on Skip and Shannon on FS1. First thing I see:

Mike Brown laughing at being stopped by police so the Spurs bus can get by to the stadium (Brown was late, too).

Shannon Sharpe and Skip both extremely critical of Brown for laughing and making light of a situation that "many black men don't walk away from"

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON

Couple of dumbasses. Not all cops are sports fans but one would think a Bay area cop would know what Mike Brown looked like? It's not like he's ever been on TV or in some type of publication. I hate what this country has turned into. Don't mistake that with "I don't love my country" because I do, but can't stand the wussification that it's become.

Stopped reading here.

In all seriousness, Bayless is the biggest douchebag in sports media. But it's his shtick and he's been paid very well for it. I've always wondered what he's really like, though.

Also, doesn't Boston have Brooklyn's #1 pick in 2018 as well? And Brooklyn very well could finish last in the league again in 2017-2018.
