You mean for the tie? He made the same mistake in Memphis and he fell down on the drive. He corrected his mistake in overtime by shooting the step back.

And the win streak continues...

I was expecting Chris Paul to win one game in this series. Goes to show how good the Spurs are I guess. The true test awaits though. The Thunder and Spurs should be a great series, probably an actual Finals of this year, as the Heat nor Celtics aren't looking as good as those two teams.

So, is it safe to say the only thing possibly standing in the way of the Spurs winning their fifth championship is the prospect of the Thunder holding off the Lakers and then playing out of their minds in the Western Conference Finals?

Nice to see the Clippers have their competitive moments, though. If Paul sticks around, everyone stays healthy and they can continue adding pieces, they could actually have a bright future.

Well, there is that variable, but they're not necessarily stuck with him.

Touche. As long as his replacement his willing to work cheap, I guess.

Also, that photo will now haunt my nightmares, so thanks for that.

Too add more to your trauma, imagine that face staring at you while you take a shower (like he did with Brand, Cassell, and Maggette) and Sterling saying, "Look at that beautiful Aussie body!"

Blake Griffin needs a consistent 'J' and better moves. He should seek out Hakeem, and go to Shaq's big man camp this summer(I heard Javale McGee is).

Yep, life ruined.

That'd be a very wise move for both of them, they have tremendous athleticism but obviously lack discipline and diversity in their post game. Every so often they'll do something nifty which suggests the potential is there, they just need perseverance and the right mentor. Working with Hakeem has certainly helped Dwight Howard; he's nowhere near The Dream, I don't think you could actually teach that, but he made some strides all the same.

Exactly Andrew. Dwight will never be Hakeem, but he doesn't have to be. Just take what he's got and improve on it. Magic's baby hook wasn't Kareem's, but it was effective.

Hopefully, Blake will do what he's supposed to do.
