I'm rooting for OKC on this series although I like Denver too.

But damn…the refs did horrible on 1st half. I could probably think of 5 fouls that weren’t called. If the refs are paid to help OKC win, they sure are doing a great job making that obvious.

Let’s go Hornets!!

Ginobili did start and is playing well.

But the Grizz are still up 3 at the half.

wrap your head around this

I heard a rumor that we are going after duncan in the off-season. Let the swearing begin.

I pictured Sun-Bear Lopez in a bear suit with his fro sticking out of the bear hood, towering over the headless Duncan snarling a-la wolverine while ol’ crazy eyes Hill just stares at him whispering "damn he’s crazy."

But I would be just slack jaw shocked if Duncan ever left the Spurs. Ever.

Hey

Brandon Roy’s bitching about playing time. Maybe we could trade VC and Lopez for him or something. And with Phoenix’s health trainers, Roy would be back to normal. Great player, and I’d like to see him in a Suns uniform. We get him and Paul Millsap/Josh Smith and we’re good to go next year. Anyone else with me?

Exactly. He's owed $48 over the next 3 seasons.

And his knees are shot.

Gotta feel sorry for Roy, who says he will keep playing through the pain until he gets microfracture surgery. From the Oregonian: "There’s no meniscus left to operate on in Roy’s left knee. ‘Nah. None. Not in my right, either,’ Roy said Friday. The reason Roy’s knee has been swelling up regularly, to the point where it has already been drained twice by Blazers‘ doctor Don Roberts this season, is because there is no cartilage to absorb the pounding associated with running and jumping. ‘The problem is bone-on-bone there,’ Roy said. ‘Dr. Roberts calls it ‘arthritic knee.’ It’s just something I’m going to have to deal with for the rest of my career.’

That should be $48M.

I might roll the dice if it was only $48.
