I'll save the conspiracies for the idiots, but Paul George got to be the star for a night.

Box score says 24. I didn't watch the game and won't watch any, but that just shows me that nba officiating is as "guided" by the league office as it ever has been. The Pacers and Heat are a good rivalry and you know the league wants it to go 7 games.

The nba is unwatchable to me these days. I quit following it when LeBron left Cleveland after conspiring with his buddies, because fuck a league that allows that to happen. But, the product has been really bad for years before that. I grew up when the nba was probably the best league in the world in the mid-80s thru late 90s. That was a league that was physical. It wasn't a glorified rap video. There were legit villain teams like the 90s Knicks and the Bad Boys. But they were villains because of the way they played, not because they struck a back room deal to join forces at the Olympics years prior. Man, I miss those days. I couldn't even tell you who is in the Western Conference Finals.

I'm past my LeBron bitterness. He saw an opportunity to get some rings and took it. He was never going to win one with the Cavs. I just have a hard time putting him in the same league with greats like Magic, Bird, and Jordan who won with teams that were developed around them as opposed to teaming up with a couple of FAs in an exotic location for some fake fans. I'd appreciate him a lot more if he just signed with the Knicks or Bulls solo and won there. I don't harbor any animosity towards him anymore. I just think he took the easy way out. Would him returning to Cleveland change my overall opinion of him? Probably, because he'd certainly make them interesting again. Hell, they won 126 games in 2 years before he left with chalky dog shit around him. But, despite all the talk going around now, I don't think it's gonna happen. Cavs are young, and I don't see him wanting to spend his prime years mentoring youngsters. I actually think he'll play out his twilight years in Cleveland in a way to rehabilitate his image in his home state, because he still cares about Ohio on some level. Just not enough to play there when he could be winning more titles. 2nd best player, skill-wise, I've ever seen next to MJ. But will never have Jordan's heart.

People who have never had leg cramps will be the first to jump up and call him a pu$$y for not playing through it. Its just the way it goes.

But he needs to figure out how to avoid them. Heat were up 7 before the cramps with like 8 minutes left, then they lose by 10. That's a huge swing.

This + Spurs getting on a roll (I think they only missed two shots from the field in the 4th?) and you get the final result.

Also tonight is a good reminder why Skip Bayless is probably the worst person in sports.
