LOL haters gonna hate. I don't really hate him, I just think how he left the Cavs was horrible and reflects his character.

Miami and Chicago both would have swept the Knicks by double digits comfortably. While Chicago's offense might have stalled the Knicks would be getting no rebounds and shooting like 30% in that series.
It must really kill you inside that fans wish their favorite team to do well.
No wai, man. You just say you're a fan of the best team or whoever just won the championship and talk shit to everyone else.
You know I'm starting to think that it's in the Lakers' best interest to NOT sweep the Nuggets. That way they'll have Artest for when they eventually have to face off with OKC.
If they sweep Denver they'll be missing their best defender on Durant for the first two games in OKC.

I dunno.
It sounds nice in theory, but it isn't going to happen. The Lakers aren't good enough to pick and choose which games they want to win.

Yeah, no way you take any win for granted in the playoffs. People expecting the Nuggets to be swept aren't giving them enough credit either. As much as people have been talking about DEN being dead in the water, I'm still worried about what happens if they hit their stride.

It'll be tough for the Lakers... OKC has a lot of matchup advantages in that series that would be tough for the Lakers to overcome.
Lakers have only beat OKC once in four attempts this year--in double OT and only after Artest KO'd Harden--and the three OKC won weren't what you'd call close games.

Maybe it's in our best interest that they sweep the Nuggets. That way we won't have to see any more dumb Twitter posts from Artest after the OKC fans go after him all game.
So it was Paul George's birthday yesterday and its George Hill's birthday tomorrow and since the Pacers had the day off in Orlando they went to Disney World haha
