    <p>was listening to the radio before and a guy was on who's son played in a college thing in the US with Green a few years ago who was asking him about Adams, and apparently he said Adams was gonna be big and Green said he'd be 1 and done back then...so sounds like he hasn't been a fan for a while.</p>

     <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>

    <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>Meanwhile in that other conference final the Raptors have just won game 4 at home to level their series with the Cavs at 2-2.</p>

    <p>One of the greatest turnarounds in playoffs I've seen. Raptors were absolutely cooked after the first two, but have somehow levelled the series.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Cavs should still win but they will have to work for it.</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>45-61 to OKC with 3 remain in 2nd quarter.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Love this tweet</p>

    <p>So far, so good for OKC.  They have scored the same amount of points in this half (72) as in game 3.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Green is out of sorts.</p>

    <p>Big half by Adams as well 7 pts and 6 rebounds in half a game for a guy averaging 10 and 10.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Man he has picked the right time to be on a form streak hasn't he? His value must be going up every game.</p>

    <p>GSW made a run to get the score within 6 pts but OKC ended the half well.  94-82.</p>

    <p>Yep, too quick trying to type.  Anyway, back to the game...</p>

    <p>This game has little to do with Adams, Westbrook is owning it.  Triple Double.</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>This one is in the bag.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Wow. 3-1 advantage. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Hope Grant Dalton isn't anywhere near them.</p>
