The only one that interests me is Indiana to team up with George. Chicago and Washington are in flames, Toronto is a clownshow, Miami is inches from death by injury, and Boston is the most overrated roster in league history. trade him for kevin love! | ||

Uhhg. Make the East even more boring. Lebron already has the record for most finals appearances made without facing a legitimate contender. Why must we make that worse? | ||

There are 15 or so guards that can bring the ball past half court and be D-And-3 to complement PG+ Durant. There are like 3 wings that can go both ways like Paul George and they all are max players, and there aren't any reasonable half measures at that position. Basically: George+Durant+Hill> Westbrook+Durant+Waiters (basically all you can get at the wing). | ||

Its something I'd have to really think about how much I like it. One thing I don't like is that PG isnt quite the shooter Durant is, which takes away slightly from one of Westbrook's greatest strengths: Driving to the hoop. In many ways Durant is probably the best possible compliment for Westbrook. | ||

I'm just not convinced by this "oh he can guard 1-5" argument if he can't guard most of the positions at an elite level. Sadly, there doesn't seem like there's going to be someone to accurately test him. We probably won't get to see him against Durant or Westbrook. Leonard and Aldridge will play hot potato and Lebron is going to defer. He plays 3-5 at an elite level, and 1-2 well enough to switch for 10 seconds, which is about all you can ask for a "big". | ||

Dion Waiters is just a huge idiot. That and the pass were terrible. That said, I think the counter argument that Ginobli stepped out of bounds first is correct. That was an immediate violation that didn't get called. Also, someone else pointed out when Adams went out of bounds on the contest, a Spurs fan was actually holding on to him so he couldn't get back in. Big, big no no. That fan needs to be banned. So much worse than purple shirt guy. | ||

I'd swallow my whistle too since I don't know if that's a regular offensive foul or a technical. Better to miss a call than not know the rules. It seems nobody knows the correct rule to be applied. | ||

It seems nobody knows the correct rule to be applied. It's a technical on Ginobli first, then an offensive foul on Waiters. Ken Mauer admitted it should've been an offensive foul on Waiters. I'm not sure if he looked close enough to see Ginobli's violation. He said that they just didn't see it. | ||
