<br>
The NBA was never going to suspend him, as they are hypocrites. But with the upgrade to flagrant foul 2, Green is much closer to an automatic suspension if he gets hit with another flagrant foul. If I was OKC I'd get someone like Collison to foul him hard and see how he reacts. :)</p></blockquote>Otherwise known as the 'jojo english strategy' -

<p>One and done means that you only spend 1 year at college before declaring for the draft. If that is what he said, it was kinda a compliment.</p> -
<p>sorry, it was the son of the guy on the radio that said he'd do 1 and done, and Green was saying he wouldn't (will be on the on demand thing at probably 11-11.30 or so) I knew I'd stuff that up as they explained what it meant on the radio too

<p>I have thought about this, but I also think I dont understand the mental side of an elite athlete. The confidence/arrogance they have is off the chart.</p> -

<p>That makes more sense.</p> -
When DeRozan and Lowry play well they usually win, so no coincidence they came up big today and won. Biyombo has been unreal. That game 3 performance was off the charts - 26 rebounds including 8 offensive. <br><br><br>

<p>Game 4 underway. The ESPN live play by play is seriously awesome.</p>

<p>Fugged it about it ... OKC 23 up with 3 mins to go. This one's done.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3-1 up in the series, GSW in a world of shit. Curry and Green's stats are bloody awful.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm sure the kiwi media will write up Adama, but Westbrook, followed closely by Durant have absolutely owned this game.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Edit: GSW agree. Second team on now, Curry et al, subbed off.</p> -

<p>Undeniably. I haven't watched the game but Adams looks by the numbers to have played a fairly big role in the first half even though they haven't used him as extensively as other games. In other words he helped set the game up.</p>
<p>RW looks to have gone crazy in the second spell (was going to write apeshit but that would be frowned on)</p>
