And indeed, that was an utter joke of a call from an utter joke of an official. I mean, really? The guy was just laughing, having fun, and you eject him for that?

Again, it wasn't the only time Joey Crawford did something like that. He did it a lot.

At least we have Kawhi Leonard to replace his demeanour.


Huh? I'm just commenting on this specific instance.

And that's very true about Kawhi. Really shows how you how tight knit and close the Spurs org is.

Also: Dwayne Wade may be seeking to play for The Land. Miami and him are in a bit of a crossroads right now.

As well, Boris Diaw has been sent to Utah. The Jazz will send the Spurs the rights to guard Olivier Hanlan, whom Utah drafted in the second-round of the 2015 NBA draft.

Good luck in SLC, Bobo!

Meanwhile, David West has opted to join Durant in heading to the Warriors and Pau Gasol has big plans:

Way ahead of you on that signing, Val.

It really does feel like the end of an era is nigh.

Let us never forget when he was ejected.

For laughing.

The best power forward. Ever. Dirk and KG got nothing on him.

That moment was what turned Duncan into how we view him today, as the serious no laughs guy. Also shows how much of a joke Crawford was as an official.


Dirk gets on my nerves and I don't know why. Is it his face? Is it his demeanor? Is it the way he hogs the ball? Then again, Kobe does that and I like Kobe, sooooo...hm.

But yes. Tim Duncan got penalized for laughing, because the world cannot handle the greatness that is Tim Duncan being wonderful and laughing.

Who cares, until there is parity in the league the only thing people are going to remember are individual player legacies, this is why no one but GS bandwagon even got hyped when they hit 73 wins lol and Durant just shot his legacy in the foot

Good move by the Warriors on signing Durant. However, I'm not sure about the chemistry between Durant and Curry. Would this combination result in synergy or lost energy?

Do you recall the mighty Denver Nuggets of the 1980s?

They had a trio of some of the top scorers EVER: Alex English, Dan Issel and Kiki Vandeweghe.

But you might not recall the team, simply because it never won a championship.

I predict a similar doom for the San Francisco Warriors (soon to be).

I probably won't remember them after a long time, but they do have a single championship title, I think.

Didn't know where else to go with this: Just checking here, would anybody be interested in a NBA RP that would be a drama RP along with the sports part? You would be the GM/Owner of the teamost you choose and your main goal would be winning titles, but you would have other things than just basketball going on
