Lil B is ruthless.

The West Coast-based rap artist who infamously put the "Based God's Curse" on Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Kevin Durant's career, will continue to torment Durant should the Thunder face the Golden State Warriors in the playoffs.

Lil B plans on sitting courtside so that he can heckle Durant.

"I'm there," Lil B said on a Warriors World podcast. "I'm buying tickets. I'm there ... I'm that kryptonite. The streets know."

They do cry too bleeping much though, it makes them wholly unlikable. They should change their logo to a guy with his arms outstretched and his mouth agape in faux confusion and indignance.

I'm watching this Bill Simmons special on ESPN, and I just saw him insisting that the "Love for Wiggins"-trade was a "Disaster".

He also said that the Cavs were looking to trade him at the end of year or something of that note.

I don't...get it. Like even the local media has found excuses to bitch about the fact that Kevin Love's numbers are not as high as they were in Minnesota. To me? "No poo poo". But that's the loving point. That seems to happen every time that a "big three" occurs.

# ? Feb 9, 2015 02:21

I still think it's a move you have to make. Lebron has a couple years of his prime left and you can't sit around waiting for a guy like Wiggins to develop.

At the same time, if Love bolts after this season, it could be looked back on as a bad trade. Still think it's worth the risk from Cleveland's standpoint.

The difference is that Love doesn't really fit in as well, it seems. Bosh fit in well because he spaced the floor AND played amazing defense. Love doesn't score enough to make up for his lovely defense.

When one of your stars is injured for a while in this year's Western Conference, it's possible to be a legit title contender and in danger of missing the playoffs.

Also, this year, games in February are legitimately changing the seeding picture.

quote:

On Saturday, James sent out a tweet that many suspected was for Love. It said: "Stop trying to find a way to FIT-OUT and just FIT-IN. Be a part of something special! Just my thoughts."

James was asked if the tweet was for someone in particular.

"It was more about people in general," James told a large media group. "It was a general thought I had. Obviously, whatever thought I have people try to encrypt it and Da Vinci code it. People are always trying to fit out instead of fit in and be part of something special. That's what it's all about."

In October, Love said he was trying "not to fit in so much" with the Cavs, adding new teammates had encouraged him to "fit out. Just be myself."

Halfway through 10/11, people were about ready to break up the Miami Heat. I think people forget that this poo poo isn't a video game where you put three stars who haven't played together on a roster and everything instantly works.

It's amazing what a team can do when four of its five best players aren't all injured at the same time.

The one guy I generally go to for my basketball knowledge (which is...very minimal compared to my knowledge of stuff that goes fast on circles) said that Love would perhaps be the best player to kind of pair up with LeBron during his entire career. (this same guy stressed to me to not even concern myself with Derrick Williams, and focus on Kyrie Iriving in 2011 fwiw).

I don't know, it all seems pretty nit-picky right now. It doesn't feel like Love's lack of stats seems to be bringing down the team in any sort of way. They've really seemed to gel with each other quite well lately, and have been 13-1 in the past 14.

I do think that Mozgov has helped immensely. I also feel that Dion Waiters was kind of dead weight in retrospect, and I feel the addition of JR Smith has truly seemed to pay off (strangely enough).

I would like to see them try to go after just one more big for insurance, and perhaps a back up PG (Mind if we borrow Mo Gotti, Minnesota?) but aside from that, I don't see why one should really nit pick what this team currently has going for it.

I don't really like the Heat comp though because they were a top 10 offense and defense that season, they just needed to retool the offense around motion and small ball. Mozgov helps the Cavs but I don't see what moves they can make to be competitive with the West.
