Hey guys, are you also rooting for OKC to come out of the West? I mean, if they beat SA and GSW they are legit and we should not underestimate them. But one thing i would like the most: we have homecourt in the Finals and i think that will be the last Domino for the Championship in CLE!!!!!
Peace out
Wow, Tony Parker is not good. Aldridge bad game. Spurs look like they’re out. Thunder better not be bone-headed in WCF.
And Tim Duncan, greatest power forward ever, looks like the tank is absolutely empty. Not a drop left.
THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A “CTB TRIVIA–HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW YOUR FELLOW BLOGGERS “—-EXAMPLE —” EVERYTHING IS AWESOME—BUT DELLY SUCKS “—-A)–WE ALL KNOW THAT WOULD BE OUR BELOVED COLS ( JUST MESSING WITH YOU MAN )
Is it just me, or do the Spurs look out-matched all of the sudden. It seems like they just can’t find the offense. They’ve strayed away from their classic ball-movement centric offense and just can’t hit shots with Kawhi or Aldridge isos.
INTERESTING LEBRON’S BIRTHDAY THE SAME AS KOUFAX—–HERE IS ANOTHER BIRTHDAY TRIVIA WHOSE BIRTHDAY FALLS ON THE SAME DAY (DATE ) AS ROGER MARIS AND JIMMY CONNORS —YOU GUESSED IT —NOMAD —-HAVE A GOOD ONE OUT TO MY HOPS I GO !!
Me and early Cavs fan Grover Cleveland.
I only got Kyrie, Love, JR and Mo. Though I thought JR claimed a lower handicap than that…
Read a story somewhere about Kyrie’s father and Rod Strickland. They were best friends growing up in the Bronx.
Tough indeed. Only ones I was sure about were Kyrie and Kevin.
Whew guess I got a lot to learn! I just got 8 (JR), 13 (Moz) and 15 (Mo) right. Mad I wasn’t aware of Love and the Beach Boys.
This was tough indeed. I got questions Kyrie, KLove, Mo Williams, Timo, Delly, Tristan, and Shump. So I guess I know those guys. Forgot about JR’s fine golf game.
This was tough! Only one I knew definitively was the Kevin Love Beach Boys connection. I guessed the Shumpert / Evan Turner one based on age. Thought for sure Mo Will was the 13 handicap and that Sasha Kaun had the delayed start to NBA career. Wasn’t Danny Green on that team with “D Block” as well? I remember Mike Brown praising D Block by saying he set the best picks on the team.
I figured the golfer had to be Mo or JR, but then I knew Mo was 15 cuz the Cavs practiced at his facility on the road. Mozgov for 13 was common sense to me as I totally forgot about Sasha Kaun for a moment there.
