Miami wins the Finals, the city of Miami is happy. OKC wins the Finals, the rest of the country is happy!

You get PMs from Chewy?

Who's the short guy between Ewing and Magic? I know everyone else.

Happy Birthday Kevin!

Happy Birthday, Bertrand!

Ditto to both posts. I'm still disappointed in my Spurs blowing 4 games in a row, but have come to realize how truly well the Thunder played in those games. Go Thundersonics!

He's actually not 24 until September! And he's that young because he was only a Texas Longhorn for about 3 months. But he was pretty clearly the best player on the court during that college season too, in every game he played. Check this out: Naismith College Player of the Year (2007) John R. Wooden Award (2007) AP College Player of the Year (2007) Oscar Robertson Trophy (2007) Adolph Rupp Trophy (2007) Big 12 Player of the Year (2007) NBA Rookie of the Year (2008) NBA All-Rookie First Team (2008) 2010 FIBA World Championship MVP 3× NBA All-Star (2010–2012) 3× NBA scoring champion (2010–2012) 3× All-NBA First Team (2010–2012) NBA All Star Game MVP (2012) ...that's not too shabby a resume for a 23 year old!

Happy Birthday, Ray!

If the Spurs have any chance on Wed night, they need to start fighting for offensive rebounds. Seems like they were all jacking up 3 point attempts, and everyone would immediately take off toward the other end of the court. Their game lately has devolved into Parker or Ginobili on pick and rolls, or Duncan shooting a 10-20 footer. Nobody else is doing anything, except jacking up 3 pointers. What happened to the rest of the game they were excelling at during the 20 game winning streak (and the earlier streaks during the season too)??

SI.com's Ian Thomsen felt that was a James foul, not a Garnett foul - here's his description of the play today: "...and then when Boston was seeking to reclaim the lead, James would hook his left arm under Garnett's right armpit and pull Garnett down on top of him. If a footballer for Liverpool (the team James owns in a minority role) had done such a thing the press in England would have decried it as a "cynical" foul, but in our country it goes down as ingenuity."

Are those your ticket stubs? Yes, they are! What was the "pillow" concert?

I think the officiating affected the outcome of this game. That overtime play where Wade knocked Rondo in the head should have been a foul, resulting in two (likely) made free throws. And the continuation of play wouldn't have happened, so the Heat wouldn't have made that basket - that's a 4 point swing on one missed call. In a game that the Heat won by 4 points. Also, the play later where Wade kicked Garnett should have been called an offensive foul. Instead, Garnett is called for the foul, and Wade gets the free throw and 3 point play. With the correct call, those 3 points don't go on the board either.

Happy Birthday - 26 at the start of this thread, are you 27 now??

The WCF should be very exciting and competitive, even if you're just an EC fan.

When you score 42 points and have 0 ASSISTS, it's hard to complain that you're not getting much help. That suggests ball-hog, not team player. I'll agree that there's really not much on that team other than Bryant though. I don't think Bynum is that tough or focused. Artest is too volatile. Gasol's time in LA has passed. The rest of 'em? Sessions - eh. Hill - eh. Blake - eh.

Happy Birthday, Chuck!

Better check your sources again - there were numerous back-to-back games during the regular season. The Spurs had at least 20 of them this season. Plus, they had at least two back-to-back-to-back games, 3 in a row. Clippers/Spurs have back-to-backs today and tomorrow as well. Not sure if that helps or hurts one team more than the other.

Please stop. Both Goodspeak and Mike Schwartz. Nobody here cares.

....you know you're a SERIOUS Spurs fan when you get a backup's (Matt Bonner) face cut into your hair:

Happy Birthday, Larry!

Driving around town the other day, I found NRA Kitty:

I'd like to do this - how can I get all of ECM's cds free, too?

The Spurs might disagree with that...
