Brown: Mitchell Robinson did not suffer broken pinky in Game 4 vs. Cavs or in practice.

When asked for details on how Robinson was hurt, Knicks PR staffer stepped in to say "we're not going to get into specifics."

haven't seen a team this disliked in awhile

I've been an NBA fan for longer than the Suns have been around and I've never detested a team this much although the Chuck Daly Pistons came close. Part of it is that I just didn't see this coming. I did not want to see the Spurs back on top so soon so I'd been looking forward to OKC sending them fishing. But I'd had no idea just how much I'd detest watching OKC play a full game.

Now, I just hope more basketball fans find the only fix that's working for me. I stopped watching. In fact, if the league doesn't fix this in the offseason, I suspect a lot of us will tune in less and less to the NBA product as this goes on. Right now, I'm not even sure I'm going to buy League Pass next season and I've bought it every year it's been available.

Between this nonsense and the ridiculous scheduling (Peacock one night, Prime the next, Fanduel the day after and so on, I see little reason to continue to support this league. If you're into gambling I guess it still has value but for some of us that want to see quality basketball, this isn't working (JMO).

Is that ever better than just telling the truth? The rumors and guesses about where he put his finger are going to be far worse than just admitting he broke it picking his nose or whatever happened.

Game seven. Damn.

The truth, maybe we can't handle the truth...

Maybe but how many scenarios have fans invented so far? Let me tell you, that finger went a lot of places it shouldn't have according to some of the "guesses" I've heard.

The NBA lost me when it became a highlights-based sport and a channel surfing league.

That's what I like about it. We can be creative. Smile.

Thank goodness. Now we need another referee reviewing close calls with the NBA replay center.

JUST IN: Devin Vassell says OKC fans have been blasting music all night outside the Spurs hotel to keep them from sleeping.

That’s insane

Ha Ha. You will have to share. I haven't researched it. I guess I have replied to that question twice. Wink.

 

[Mainstreet]

I guess I dislike the Spurs more than I dislike the Thunder.

Their playoff history with the Suns lingers.

 

[Mainstreet]

That fake looked more like travel to me by the Spurs player.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

good first quarter

 

[Cheesebeef]

Wemby in non dominant mode tonight.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

spurs playing as a team - that's the difference between the two teams so far

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

sga bricks both free throws while okc is down 9 points in a game 7

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

bullchet holmgren just bricked both his free throws too - okc is down by 6

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

sga willing okc back

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

that's a flagrant
