JVG defended Melo this morning at least in regards to Tyson's comments. He also pointed out that when Felton, JR, Kidd etc. aren't scoring where are the points supposed to come from? Durant gets David Robinson type love. Not sure why.

he doesn't make others around him better. durant does, and he is more consistently efficient as a scorer. wade is similar when he is on.

So when they fail like our inefficient scorer, we should feel sympathy??? And if he makes so many players better, he doesn't need sympathy, they should be winning...

Durant will never get criticized, because he makes commericals wearing shrink sized pajamas married to an asian pretty lady. LOL

if gsw makes it to finals, i will jump off the balcony

this is the great thing about sports and the NBA, the new teams that rise. GSW might be here to stay, and that is cool.... then you have other teams like the Nuggets, rockets, pacers on the rise as well... it is a good thing for the league..... It tells other teams, and organizations, time to step up... I love it..

I thought you were gonna comment about how great it would be for a balcony jump.

haha, come to think of it, I may have to root for GSW just to see IWG do it... LOL

Durant is playing good basketball, I don't think they are giving him a pass especially when he doesn't need one..

Bulls are really struggling. They just don't have anyone that can score. Rip getting some run.
VDesai @ 5/13/2013 7:53 PM
Bulls are just way too shorthanded. I wonder if the Nets would've put up a bigger fight or just gotten swept.
CrushAlot @ 5/13/2013 7:54 PM
Waiting for an update on Wade's knee. It didn't appear serious but he left the game.

i don't know if anyone is expressing outright sympathy or making excuses.

but i understand when you're outraged at how he is getting a pass. the key is greenberg saying "he is doing enough." what does that mean? it means he is capable of doing it all and, doing it all, he will not be able to defeat the grizzlies who are healthy and, by the way, better without gay.

it must outrage you that durant is actually a more valuable player and a better player and is doing things melo has proven time and again is incapable of doing.

melo is not doing enough right now, not even at the one thing he is being paid max money to do. maybe that changes tomorrow night but when has melo ever made others better like durant is doing?

history is not on our side with melo and woodson's playoff futility. just sayin'

+1. It's not complicated. Melo's not performing. Durant is. So the media will treat Durant better.

The Grizz are gonna win this thing I think.
VDesai @ 5/14/2013 12:02 AM
Thunder holding on, but it will be another close ending
VDesai @ 5/14/2013 12:05 AM
Flip it on if you're still awake- 1 pt game with 3:30 to go
VDesai @ 5/14/2013 12:08 AM
Durant has NOT been good down the stretch the last two games. Lets see what happens.
VDesai @ 5/14/2013 12:13 AM
Conley coming up big again...terrible foul by Prince after Durant got him up in the air.
VDesai @ 5/14/2013 12:13 AM
Wow huge missed FT by Durant....again
VDesai @ 5/14/2013 12:15 AM
Wow Durant stripped and blocked again....another disastrous final minute so far
VDesai @ 5/14/2013 12:16 AM
OKC wastes about 10 seconds to foul. Holy crap. Disastrous crunch time again by OKC
NumberTwoPencil @ 5/14/2013 12:16 AM
I <heart> OKC but it's worth pulling for Memphis just to see a Conley vs Curry (or Parker) duel.
VDesai @ 5/14/2013 12:17 AM
But now Memphis is blowing their FTs. Still a 2 pt lead with 11 seconds to go for Memphis. Durant, your up again!

He is exhausted from carrying his team.
