Spurs were very competitive against the No. 2 seed. Meanwhile, the Pistons don't know how to win.

Can't really say he's losing it when the Spurs reaching the playoffs was in doubt till very late into the season. Give the man another star and he'll do his bit.

They got into the playoffs as the #7. That means they were only marginally more successful than the Clippers. And just sitting there like a lump and not telling them to foul. I'm telling you, he's slipping.

But he is the old OKC sixth man. It honestly really upset me when he left us. Though perhaps looking back now, I can see that it was for the best on both sides.

I don't even need a source for that claim. Just watch them. You'll see the curse in action before you can say "Kevin Durant is a whiny little traitor who couldn't win a championship as a one man show like LeBron did, so he ditched loyal fans and teammates who loved him to win a cheap championship with some dumb team that thinks it's the Yankees and buys championships just like they used to in Major League Baseball, but he is not, and never will be, a splash brother and for good measure, he's not even one of the top three best players on his team and honestly he hasn't even contributed all that much to his team's current success, and I hope he knows that and that it annoys the heck out of him, and I also hope he never wins another game in the NBA in his life."

I'm thinking the entire time "c'mon, someone win (preferably Portland)".

Was also announced on the Blazers Radio Network that this is the second quadruple overtime playoff game in NBA history. The first was in 1953.

And, Portland did win! :clap:
