2012-2013 NBA Champions:

[KC_Connection]

Clippers managed to go on the road and beat Memphis last year in Game 7. Not over yet, not as long as they have Chris Paul.

Did the Clippers just lose 3 straight?

JFC.

Well, it was their exit interviews and well its going to be a HUGE ratings grabber, only makes sense.

Gasol possibly gone, Dwight as well. Kobe is a huge ****ing unknown going into next year. Yeah, it was on NBA tv all day too

Their tats to player ratio has also declined heavily after the departures of Smith, Birdman and Kenyon.

Yep, last year the Grizz won game 6 in LA, so feelings were positive going into Game 7. Grizz shot 32% in that game though. Not sure the Clips have the defense to cause that kind of shooting performance. Big key will be Blake's availability.

I get that.

But, it is silly to turn to it and it's all that's ****ing on.

Coast bias - I get that.

But, i would much rather watch more about the Nuggets/Warriors series/fued.

Yeah, me too, even as a Lakers fan, but its just never going to happen.

I know it's not over, but if Blake isn't healthy I just don't see it this time. I think they definitely miss Reggie Evans against Memohis.

Unfortunately, you're right.

And not a jab to the Lakers, but Sportscenter has been unwatchable for years. But, nothing else is on this ****ing late.

It's kind of funny Mark Jackson is calling people out for being too physical when he played for the Knicks and Pacers. I understand he's protecting his meal ticket, but c'mon.

You're right about Evans. He gave ZBo problems.

Yes, they focus on soap opera BS. I can't watch that shit anymore. I only watch the games. The other shit drives me crazy. They did the same thing with the Jets in football. The most coverage the Thunder ever got was the fabricated Westbrook/Durant feud. It's no better than TMZ. That's what this ****ed up society wants though. It's a damn shame.

[Ceej]

I am not a fan of the NBA.

I will follow Jayhawks and that's about it.

But, I remember when Sportscenter showed highlights of every game -- including baseball games. That seems so long ago.

Now, it is drama driven.

Sometimes it sucks being a Midwesterner.

Thats why you have to stick to the league networks. MLB TV is great if you want to catch up on some baseball. Same with NBA TV and NFL network, but NFL Network has gotten So big, that they are changing to espn style a bit.
