I'm predicting Durant signs a 4 year deal with  . . .  BKY. 

I will walk to Barclays if that happens.

GS creates a fair number of its breaks.

True.  Draymond created the stabbing of Harden's eyes.

[lesterluv]

Kanter only player in double figures for either team at the half, lol, lol, lol, lol....Portland up by 15.

[kiidcarter8]

At about 85 per cent strength

[Not Elephant]

Hey, can anyone offer an idea why I (Elephant) was banned from this site?

I mean I would have hoped that banishment followed some inspired bit of despicable venom. But I was sort of just standing around with my hands in my pockets.

Perhaps the name change is a chance for a whole new life.

liquidsilver bans people who he thinks are spammers.  I think we have all been banned at least once.

I'm getting hit with the captcha things to get in the last few days.
So I think he tried to block some spammers and `we're collateral damage.  You can send a message to Josh or just wait a few days and see if it your old username works again.

Here's a wacky article on potential rule changes to diminish 3's and bring more variety back to the game.

A 3-sec rule on standing in the corner would be an additional burden on the refs, while the spot up corner guys would just count to 3, step over the 3 point line and step back to reset for another 3 secs.  So that's useless (and silly in any case).

Making the 3-line longer and/or widening the court are the two obvious solutions.

Allowing goaltending on 3's is too gimmicky.  And what happens if you goaltend what looked like a 3 but the guy had a foot on the line so it was a 2?  Plus you'd end up with more fouls down low as guys tried to box out legal goaltenders.

I'm impressed with the number of goofy and mostly unworkable ideas Goldsberry came up with.  Each team deciding on their own 3-point line like baseball outfield walls?  Problem is that would just increase Home court ad, which wouldn't be good.  Though it would be amusing if some teams eliminated the corner 3, or had a real long or short line.

Change is okay, but continuity and history are also important.  Moving back the line the simplest solution to 3-dominance.

Just make every field goal (outside of the paint) worth three points.

[bodiddley]

Hmm.  Why not just do away with a 3-point line/shot altogether then?

Kant had a real good 1st half.
Not as good 2nd half.
some of those DEN O-boards were on his watch.
And up 5 with 35 secs, Kant made a feeble inbounds pass which was stolen, and gave DEN a chance.

DEN missed lots of open shots.
Especially 2Q.  Jokic set guys up.

This series is a real good matchup for Kant.
Nugs always play one Big C -- Jokic or Plumly.
They're a jumpshooting team without penetration.
So Kant can board and bang and doesn't have to scramble or rim protect much.

[kiidcarter8]

Credit Kanter yesterday

Jokic only TOOK one 3 pointer - and only 4 free throws, down from 5 and 12 in Game 1.

[lesterluv]

yeah, 4th quarter not as strong for Kant, but by that time he'd been banging his seperated shoulder with Jokic & Millsap for a long time. Played some good D last night. Helluva playoff run for him. no bad games. no days off....and, he's only 25, lol.

Only 25 and wanted to be a Knick.

But not to worry Les. We still have Fizzy to “coach” us to a championship. LMAO.

Cant wait til Mitchell blocks a shot down Enes' throat as Les and Carlos suffer simultaneous coronaries...
