Looks like Seattle will be living up to the 'do unto others' rule and nabbing the Sacramento Kings. There is apparently a couple cans of green and yellow paint in the bus and they will get a respray / rename on the trip and land as the Sonics!

Now, Phoenix or Edmonton for the real sport....

from CBS Sports:

Could the current USA Basketball team beat the 1992 Dream Team?

Larry Bird’s take: “They probably could. I haven’t played in 20 years and we’re all old now.”

Reality is setting in that F'n LeBron's going to get his ring. Maybe he tore something in his knee and won't play anymore.

A ring he should never get, but will. The consolation will have to be that he had to ride someone else's coat tails to get it.

Gene, as brilliant as Westbrook was, he (and the rest of the team) kept going one on one too much. They will only get better next year. They've got a good coach.

All good here, thanks. {#Good-vibes}

Sad to say, the Thunder appear to be done. They just can't figure out how to keep a lead and play as a team for 48 minutes. Very talented, but maybe just a bit too young still.

I just don't want to talk about. Wasted Westbrooks 43 point masterpiece. {#Arghhh}

I didn't watch the game, but one of my friends at the other place had this summary:

1 that was a foul on Lebron.
2 Westbrook & Durant step up in crunch time.
3 Bron and Wade seem to lose IQ in crunch time

It could easily have been called a foul, but it's the type of "pushing" or "body" (i.e.: not making contact with the shooting arm) foul that officials are often reluctant to call in the closing seconds of a game. Another thing I admire about Durant was that he didn't even complain about it in the post-game interview. Apparently, when asked three times about the "non-call", his response was "I missed the shot."

Back in the early 70s, I lived in an upstairs apartment on NW 11 and then on NW 9th across from the Olivet Baptist church. I think it is a slum now.

I drive thru there every day to/from the office. There are worse parts of town. The area we're in is in the early/mid stages of gentrification; I think we got in at just the right time.
