OKC/Portland playoff series is already exciting me.

I tend to root for OKC to go all the way when the playoffs start, now that the Nuggets are irrelevant. Durant is probably my favorite player in the NBA. Classiest guy around.

I used to think Durant was classy but the last few years he's come across as a total fucking douche who constantly has a bone to pick with the media for absolutely no good reason. Getting tired of him copping a shit attitude all the time and it has made him a little less likable for me.

I vaguely remember one incident a year ago but I can't remember the details. Seemed warranted at the time, though. Not sure of any other media beef...

It has been a consistent beef without any rhyme or reason the past two years. Been a general change in attitude too. He's always so bitter and negative now.

It doesn't make him a bad guy or anything, it's just discouraging to see how the high-spirited positive kid grew into a hardened and bitter man. It's all good though. Still want the Lakers to throw all the money at him, he can bitch about our media all he wants.

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt for now. The media can definitely be stupid. I'll see how he handles them in the playoffs. See if there's a change in tune after wins and losses.

I would give Boston a chance to keep it close if they weren't coming off a back-to-back. They'll probably lose by 10-12 points.

LeBron broke guard and murder-blocked Teague on a short shot driving to the lane. Nuts.

KD can be pretty testy with the media. I don't blame him for getting annoyed from time to time but it comes with the territory and he needs to learn to deal with it.

I know it seemed to start with that stupid "Mr. Unreliable" headline by the Oklahoma beat writer a couple years ago after missing a game winning shot. That was ridiculous and KD had a right to be upset. Since then, it just seems like a grudge he hasn't let go of.

The Celtics are pretty impressive, even without Crowder tonight. Avery Bradley remains one of my favorite players in the game.

Refs gonna have to take a long look at themselves after this game. Some absolutely bizarre calls.
