"We stand together in condemning Mr. Sterling's views. They simply have no place in the NBA." - Adam Silver

Great job by Silver. f*** that piece of s*** Sterling.

[Spudboy]

That was much quicker that I had expected.

 

I wonder if an actual vote was taken by the NBA Board of Governors?

 

All those rich people that own teams in the NBA have a lot of money at stake. I wonder how many of these people want Sterling out because of what he said or just because they don't want to see their investment lose value?

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

A lifetime ban alone isn't enough. Steinbrenner was "lifetime banned" for all of what, 2 years? What the f*** is a lifetime ban anyway if you're still the owner?

 

Stripping him of his ownership has to follow or this is just whole lot of wheel spinning.

The Wizards are in the 2nd round for the first time since f***-knows-when.

[Jasonbay44]

Bring on ATL/Indiana!!! Nene just made the defensive player of the year his bitch

[rjortiz]

Another OT for the Grizzlies/Thunder.

[Jasonbay44]

So I've been seeing people bitch a lot about Joey Crawford going to scorers table to yell about something between Durant's free throws in OT. I don't get what exactly Crawford was doing, but how exactly is it Crawford's fault Durant missed? I f***ing hate Joey Crawford, but that miss is all on KD and these excuses people make are retarded

[rjortiz]

Haha, did anyone see the end of that Raptors/Nets game? Valanciunas is lucky Blatche made one of the worst passes in NBA history, or he would have goaltended a 60 foot heave.

Lol yeah, there was so much stupidity on that play it was awesome. I don't understand what Blatche was doing, on TNT they said he forgot what score of game was and thought they needed a 3, then you have Valanciunas just making a stupid play. There is literally no reason to do that and it would have been hilarious had it actually counted.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Damian Lillard is Koji-esque in his ability to not give a single f***.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Houston fans must be sick. Getting screwed over constantly is why they lost the series, but tonight was just terrible. McHale is garbage, they need to get rid of him. I bet Morey feels like s*** for not getting rid of Asik. Dumb foul when Lin made the three. Speaking of Lin, he should have been guarding Lillard, not Parsons. They had a foul to give and they let Lillard tear Houston's heart out. What a great series, would have love to see a game 7.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Oh and Howard making some more free throws would have been big. Damn, still can't getover this series. Lillard didn't look like Koji, he looked like Brandon Roy 2.0.

Not sure how having a foul to give means anything with 0.9 seconds left. Lillard caught and shot, if they foul him he gets 3 free throws anyway. But yeah, I don't get why Parsons was on him, should have been Beverely or Lin

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Did you see how far Parsons was from Lillard? He could have got the foul before the shot went off, at least I think so.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Hawks gave Game 6 away and now they're getting killed in Game 7. Shame.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

The Hawks really do have a subpar roster. Lou Williams is an idiot, Mike Scott is useless, Pero Antic is even more useless. And as a team they shoot way too many bad threes.

[Jasonbay44]

In 0.9 seconds you think he could have fouled him before he got a shot off? I don't know, thats extremely risky and not likely to work. The bigger issue was that Parsons shouldn't have been on him IMO..

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Pacers, Thunder, and Clippers advance.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

The Warriors are fun to watch but they are so flawed. They're a team in need of a retooling if they ever intend on being more than that 50 win team that's always gone by early-mid May. They have nothing under the rim and their primary ballhandler, Curry, is an idiot, regardless of how well he can shoot. He is just not a smart basketball player. That said, he is the face of the franchise and all-time shooter, so you can't really trade him. Put Thompson on the block instead and address one of your many weaknesses in a trade for him.

Definitely, you're right. I'm just saying, everyone(except McHale apparently) knew where the ball was going. Had Lin been playing D, Lillard wouldn't have got that much space to work with it. It's not a big deal, but a foul to give is not something to ignore either.

[Thunder]

This Clippers-OKC series could be one the best series in years. Something like the Pistons-Celtics Conference Finals in the late 80's. Clips will be physical. A mad Kendrick Perkins is entertaining.

It'll have to be a pretty damn good series just to beat how good some of the first round series in these playoffs were. That Portland/Houston series was an awesome series to watch and I'm not even a fan of either team

[rjortiz]

Kendrick Perkins sucks.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Wizards up 13 at the half. Indiana looking like the team that lost 3 games to an injured 8-seed.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Lead's down to 6 approaching the end of the third. Gortat is single-handedly f***ing the Wizards over right now with his hero-ball antics, lack of defense, and general stupidity.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Brick, brick,brick, brick, brick, brick, brick...
