Holy s*** Westbrook is just a freak...

[burlingtonbandit]

You telling me this country likes a shuffleboard game that old people play more than Basketball? Damn

This puts it into perspective of how much Canadians like Curling more than Basketball. Almost 3 times the viewers and it wasn't even a Curling final.

I think it's only people from rural areas out west who like curling, and most of those people are weird anyway. I live in the GTA and haven't met one person who likes curling.

I remember on the old board when Grant claimed that curler's were the greatest athletes in the world.

 

Basically all you need to know about your average curling fan: They play the tuba and they study bugs in the woods for a living.

I can play tuba and I take great offense to associating me with curlers.

As long as you don't study the mating habits of Northern Ontario crickets you are in the clear.

Well yeah I wouldn't expect there to be many curlers in the cities like brampton and Toronto. Make your way out a little bit to places like Stouffville, Oshawa and Cobourg and you will find curling. Lots of curling in Ontario. It is a lot of older folks who like to drink I will say that. Personally I only ever watch it when Canada is in the Olympics but I don't have anything against the sport. Its included in the MLS, Cricket, Darts group for me.

I curled for the first time a couple weeks ago and it was pretty fun, a lot more physically exhausting than I thought and really freaking hard.

[GD]

It is actually pretty difficult.

[burlingtonbandit]

Yeah its really hard to get the right weight/spin on the rocks. I remember having a HS field trip to the curling arena once.

[GD]

My school has a surprisingly competitive curling team, lol

"We all know who he is, but I won't say his name. He might be Canadian."

 

That's like, borderline tampering, isn't it?

I don't think you can actually tread the line any closer than that

 

Masai is so f***ing raw

[KingKat]

Is Wiggins an impending free agent? Otherwise I can't see how it's tampering.

Phil Jackson got fined for saying D'Angelo Russell is a good player because he is considered "ineligible" since he hasn't declared yet.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if they called that tampering too

[jays_fever]

You still can't ever mention other team's players.

 

Either way Massai's a G

[KingKat]

Well that seems kind of infantile.

[dineke]

He's not talking about Wiggins, it's probably about Tristan Thompson... which would be terrible.

Well, Masai has a star to trade for, lol

[dineke]

Westbrook ain't leading you to a championship lmao. No way OKC trades durant.

[Boxcar]

Wow that was dumb. A 6 game hotstreak by Westbrook would push them to make a franchise altering trade? 6 games? Lmfao. ESPN suxxxxxx

[burlingtonbandit]

IF OKC trades Durant that would be the ultimate stupid move. Team has so much talent in a few players yet fills the roster out with scrubs and employs an awful coach. Franchise should have had a couple rings by now.

You're gonna get flamed for calling Scott Brooks awful, and deservedly so.

Scott Brooks is a terrible coach...?

[eastcoastjaysfan]

It's too risky to trade for KD anyways. The salary cap structure is going to be changing significantly in 2016 when he's a FA.... so there is less incentive for him to re-sign.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Stating the obvious but Amir is likely on the way out:

Tons of money to play with in the offseason with him off the books... Millsap?

[SpeedyGose]

What a 2nd half effort tonight, probably won't win but this is the style of play we need to see every night

[SpeedyGose]

WOW...if this 3 doesn't count

[GD]

Amir pinning him lol
