NBA 2012-13, discuss, fantasy, Lakers, etc.

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
Another close one until the end... if the score is less than 10 difference, GSW always has a chance with the Splash Bros. I still don't understand why Doc plays Baby over Hollins, he can protect the rim better than Baby can.

Poor OKC... losing in OT (again) at home... Memphis can close out in Memphis.

The West is really tough... while Miami is relaxing after sweeping Charlotte.
 
Catch 22 for the clips though.  Sterling still owns the team.  They win a championship.. he just stands to gain even more. 
 
Poor okc? More like poor Memphis, idiots seem to be up double digits in every game, forced into OT and barely pull it out. Talk about making it more complicated than it needed to be. The west playoffs have been crazy this year, can't remember a better first round.
 
The baxtxxd bought the Clippers for about $12 mil if that's not a typo and they're worth at least $575 mil now, maybe more?  He can't lose unfortunately.  He's going to laugh all the way to the bank, with another girlfriend.  Sigh.  :'(  Hope his wife takes it all away.

Forbes valued the Clips at $575m but the real world value people are throwing around is more like $1.2b (the Dodgers were bought for $2b so that sounds about right).

The thing that isn't talked much about is the capital gains tax, 33% is about about $350m he would have to pay the Fed (wonder what they are going to do with that money?) and because he is so cheap and litigious, people suspect he will fight this in court.

The timeline everyone wants for the vote out is before the June 26 NBA Draft, but when he will actually have to sell... that's the question (esp if he fights it).
 
OKC turns on their MVP:

How stupid of the Oklahoman editors to let that through (they've admitted they were wrong to allow that headline).

I hope OKC does lose in the 1st round (as early as tonight) for two reasons:

1. The Clips might have an easier time if they advance against Memphis than OKC (although Memphis has been hard for them, lost to them last year).

2. This might just push KD to actually think about going to the Lakers.

I'll take KD35 over the Mamba all day everyday and twice on Sundays.
 
One thing I've been wondering about with this whole misconduct issue is the "slippery slope" concept.

Ignore the issues of privacy (since it was a private conversation) but where does it stop when it comes to owners' opinions that may not sit well with the public.

Dallas Maverick's owner Mark Cuban mentioned this and it may be examined more closely when the vote is decided because of Orlando Magic's owner Rich DeVos who has had a long time anti-gay stance:

Would you take his ownership away too?
 
Is he planning on moving elsewhere?  ;)

He needs to step up his game.  Only 1.95 mil?  I think I saw a house earlier in Laguna Altura for 1.85 mil?  Perhaps there?  :P

.9 is good enough for catch and shoot. Great shot. Bad team defense.
 
The Portland/Houston series has been one of the best to watch.

Too bad it didn't go to game 7.

So five game 7s this weekend... NBA is awesome!
 
I know, should've bought that slingbox few weeks ago, got piano class and a pump it up party to go to...arghhhhh
