    I don't think he can.

    The guy spent the entire first half of the season blatantly chasing stats.

    I mean, it's certainly impressive, but I don't care how athletic he is our what kind of worker he is, he's going to end up gassed in the playoffs when he's trying to do it all against more complete teams.

    Hate Durant all you want, but he took a lot of back court pressure off Russy in the years they played together.

    He doesn't have that luxury now.

    Oh I know. And they both totally choked in the playoffs too. If he would have stayed, this would have been the best Thunder team since the big 3.

    I thought they played their asses off and were the better team.

    On an equal field, OKC would have stepped away with a championship berth and probably would have schooled the LeCavs, but the NBA has a funny way of stilting favor, and I saw that in the WCF.

    But it happens more to the Spurs than I'm happy to admit so I'm not going to cry for OKC.

    The Thunder were a scary fucking team last year. They crushed teams that could have strolled to a title.

    Grizzles beat the Warriors again last night, Conley was huge late ... Durant was trying to play hero ball and got burnt

    Can't stand the Warriors. Watching that collapse was brilliant.

    Translation from Draymond: Run the fucking offense you selfish prick.

    I hate Draymond but he's right. Durant fell into a bit of a Melo-style play there.

    It's an interesting distraction from the real product and probably has potential for entertainment value, but no legitimate players will be allowed to play in it so it'll be players a step down from NBA D-league and a handful of retired players or players kicked out of the NBA for bad reasons.

    I can see some real talent showing up every once in a while after not getting a chance in the NBA, and then the NBA poaching those players immediately.

    Chris Paul out 6-8 weeks because of thumb surgery.

    Now that's a team that can't catch a break.

    No pun intended

    I wish I could remember to update my lineups in fantasy basketball as much as it needs to.

    I just looked at it, and I have had K Leonard on the bench for the past 5 games.....

    It's a duty for sure. You've got to set it every morning.

    No KP, no Noah for the Knicks.

    Beating the Celtics in the Rebounding department by 21 right now.

    Just do it during your morning shit.

    You can also set your lineup for the entire week on one day or for the entire month based on when players are playing.

    It's that whole "remembering" thing that gets me. When I do remember, I set my lineup up for a few weeks.

    Also, I am not a morning person.

    I saw that. Doesn't make sense.
