The Good:

Best PG in the NBA and a guy named Brandon Bass.

And I hope Bass stays.

Miami? They weren't even the best defensive team this year.

And Bass won't stay.

Wasn't sold on Kyrie coming into the season but have since changed my mind.

As his game grows so may uncle Drew.

but yeah, that GIF is just lulz

Yeah, if anything these playoffs convinced me more that he and Durant don't have any problem. Westbrook is just playing a little too amped up, it's his first NBA Finals, he'll settle down.

Bass has opted out of his contract.

In other nba news, Gerald Wallace has opted out of his contact with the Nets and becomes a free agent as well. He's left alot of money on the table.

yep......the Westbrook-Durant dynamic is totally fine as it is. Stats are not everything, but they do back the idea that OKC is more effective when Durant is contained and that means Russel getting more of the ball:

i dont like it when westbrook bricks too many shots in obvious attempts at personal glory....but he hasnt done that in these playoffs IMO....this is just how he plays and how the Thunder function better.

This is all just more proof that people are sheep and just running along with Magic's stupid comment.....even us Laker fans know Magic sucks **** as an analyst...

I learned the truth when I saw him at the rookie/sophomore game. He went 8/8 from 3. Guarded, unguarded, double teamed. He couldn't miss for his life.

That's when I was sold.
