Draft lottery at 5:30.

Will this be Minnesota's time? Will Khan get to draft another PG in Kyrie Irving?

You also have Utah, who has some first round picks from trades and a pretty big chance to get another white guy in Jimmer.
 
Another phantom call for Durant. Just wow.

Lol shut up Dirk shot 24 free throws (13 in the 3rd quarter), some of them were BS calls. Harden and Thebo didn't even touch him. Westbrook was getting hacked too. Don't even bitch about the officiating.
 
Look at the time stamp. Half time Serious. Before Dirk went all Dirk on OKC. Second half is when he went on a record breaking run. Not bitching anymore. Around 9 minutes in the second was the call I was talking about. Wasn't touched at all by JET but there was a call. Not a ticky tac foul, a completely nonexistent foul. He's gotten like four in this playoff run just like that. No idea how he gets those called.
 
"Star" fouls have been called in the NBA and especially in the playoffs for a long time. Bird, Magic, Isaiah, MJ, Kobe got them and now KD, Dirk, DWade, DRose are the next gen getting those calls. Call it preferential treatment, call it BS but the League aka David Stern knows that star power is what drives the NBA. Its the same reason us common folk have to stand in line outside of a club while the more "important" folks go right in. You let the people in who you know will draw large crowds which = more $$$$$. Dirk & KD went off last night and we all love to watch great players play great. Kobe who? ;)


Anyway........Dirk was ridiculous last night. OKC will have to double team him and live with the consequences or he may drop 40 on them every night. Same with Dallas and Durant, both those guys are unguardable 1 on 1.

I'm curious about Miami-Chicago game 2 tonight. Can Deng have another game like he did in game 1? Can LBJ & D Wade pick it up and not stink it up? Can Bosh play well again? And will these young/hungry Bulls realize they are not supposed to seriously contend this year?
