NBA Season 2014-2015

OKC-Golden State ought to be a great game on Thursday.

Just read this on the Yahoo! Gamecast

Andre Drummond makes a 10-foot turnaround hook shot along the right baseline

Okay....what?

Khris Middleton just pulled a buzzer beater out of his backside.  Chucked a 3 that banked, rolled around the rim, hit the board AGAIN, rolled AGAIN, dropped in.

I think Josh Smith just tweaked his back putting his hand up so the scorer would make sure he and not Drummond got credit for a tip-in

This Golden State/ Memphis showdown about to start is the most interested I've been in a non-Celtic game since probably Cleveland's opener.

The Sacramento/OKC matchup afterwards promises to be interesting also, as it's rumored the Kings player's have been encouraged to do the " Ball up the backside of the Jersey trick" implemented by The Three Stooges in a 1930's short where they played football.

Jealous watching guys like Curry and Gasol... imagine if we had a player on their level?...

Steph Curry has gotten much better at getting into the middle of the paint and finishing in traffic.

Marquee game by possible Finals rivals. I find myself rooting for Memphis. Chris Wallace did a great job, Tony Allen there, always like Conley and Vince.

Gotta fancy Memphis in a playoff series over the Warriors.

Two top teams but they operate at completely different speeds / tempo. Either team needs to control the tempo to beat the other. Usually top defensive team is better at controlling tempo than a top offensive team. Memphis showing that is true again.

I think Memphis are the only top team in the West strong enough defensively to disrupt GSW's style of play and control tempo through their defense. Maybe the toughest team for GSW to play against come playoff time.

I think a lot depends upon Bogut's health.  If he is at full health, I think that the Warriors can get past Memphis.

I read that Bogut has been diagnosed with Chondromalacia (cartilage wear, Kobe has the same thing but is nowhere near the size of Bogut), not tendonitis, it is also what kept Dwight out.

Tune in for the last minute of OT great game between the Spurs and Grizzlies.

Regulation finished with three 3pt within 10secs.

[jpotter33]

Lee was such a great pickup for them.

Lee was such a great pickup for them.

The Grizz are walking proof of defying the concept of 'tanking is the only approach' way to go. Conley's their only key player who was a top pick that they took.

Yeah, that was a very good deal for both sides in the Lee trade. Lee's a good piece to have, but he just wasn't right for us at the time.
