Love could also go to Spurs after Duncan retires after winning the championship this year.

Well Ibaka makes a lot of money so the gap between him and KLove is manageable, especially if OKC had to throw other stuff in the deal like Lamb, PJIII, etc

I also read salary cap may move up like 5 mil next year. Which would also affect the Melo situation a lot

Nice tits!

Hawks were soo close to winning this series. Damn shame now that's over.

Sterling is human garbage but I think there's a legit chance the tape was a fix and the GF was trying to hustle him (apparently Sterling and his wife were already suing her for embezzlement and she was pissed). When I heard the audio my initial instinct was it didn't feel like a real conversation, it was almost too deep and neurotic an analysis of each other, plus you'd think most heated convos between an ignorant racist and a ho would eventually devolve into insults and F/C bombs. This story could get insane.

First buzzer beater of this playoffs.

Just when it looked like Clippers was the only West team guaranteed to win their series and likeliest to come out of the west, this may be enough of a distraction to unmotivate them fromwinning. Be crazy if we get 5-6-7-8 all advancing to second round,

I embarrassed myself at bar but I didn't give a fuck cause the Mavs won!!!!

Another overtime, unbelievable! This has been the craziest first round I can remember.

Of course we're going to overtime...

It sucks that the Clippers and Warriors series has been overshadowed by racism though. I can see the Warriors sinking them in the next two easily.

Lin cost Rockets that game. Troy Daniels should have played more down the stretch.

I agree that we could still see all 4 Western conference series go to full 7 games. That would be perfect given all the quality teams we have there.

Amazing win, can't believe we held the Nets to 79 points at home with Lowry and Amir not playing defense like when they're healthy.

OF COURSE Shack thinks the Sterling tape is fake.

Heat sweep

Indian goes to game 7 lol maybe

Mavs win tonight hopefully and take 3-1 lead

The NBA playoffs I'm loving it

RIP Bobcats

This series is gonna make the Hawks cool. Needed a full year to wipe away the Max Joe era

Sterling banned for life. Fined $2.5 mil. NBA pushing to force him to sell the Clippers.

The NBA was sure tough, but I feel they had to be with the way this story was going. Now they can get the Clippers away from that racist cheapskate.

How is he banned for life if he still owns a team?

He can not attend or take part in any NBA activities.

Donald Sterling sounds grotesque, but it is a bit troubling to see so much media furor in response to clips from a secretly recorded private conversation.

I see. I just read his Wikipedia page, including the housing-discrimination scandals.

How strange he is (it seems) almost explosively bigoted, yet drawn toward the NBA.

What a freaking game. And the theme keeps repeating itself: another blown lead for Memphis, another OT, and somehow Memphis pulled it out. And why Scott did not ask players to foul at the end of the game, twice?

MEM is better than OKC for the same reason Betty is hotter than Veronica

So glad the Clips were able to survive this and tie the series back up. Would have been a shame to let a racist ruin a great basketball series.
