The Zombie Sonics are probably my second favorite team. I'll be rooting for them if the Heat win the East, and against them if the Celtics win.

It's a shame the Sonics are no longer. I've got some rookie cards with Durant in the Sonics jersey. Wish Durant would have stayed at UT a year or two longer, but grateful we had him for a season. Mavs fan first, then OKC, followed by Celtics Lakers, Heat, San Antonio and Rockets least favorites

Ah, a fellow Bill Simmons reader.  I just feel bad for Seattle.

I am rooting for the Heat to meet them in the finals, then will just be rooting for a great series.  Heck, even if Boston wins tonight I am rooting for a great series - even though I am a Lakers fan.

Go Thunder!

...I'm a Oklahoma resident, so I hope OKC win, but... man, I *do* feel bad for Seattle.  It just sucks to have your team moved - not much worse as a sports fan.

LeBron is insane. I don't see how anyone can hate the guy. He's a juggernaut.

I am rooting for the Heat.

I think that is exactly right.  I was on that bandwagon as well.  But that was a couple of years ago now, and he has basically admitted it was a mistake to go about it in the way he did.  And outside of that one summer, he has done virtually nothing wrong.  He works hard, he's the most talented, he's not a thug or a criminal, so its interesting that people still hate him so much.

I have to say that I am pulling for OKC but  I would not be upset if they lost since I am a Mavs fan.

I just hope we have a good competitive  Finals.

Agree completely.

Though I would say, even if what he said was a mistake, not a reason to hate on him.

Been a heat fan since Wade was drafted have lots of family down in Miami and the heat are like a religion to them. Really hoping they win tonight

Been a heat fan since 2003, also love the home town celtics, nothing better than watching dwade in attack mode. Never was much of a lebron fan till he came to Miami same goes or bosh but I wana see wade get a few more rings. I have a condo down jus outside of west palm beach but live in rhode island, may go to a finals game.

Would put money on the Heat taking the series in 6. I really think LeBron has reached his happy place and can go into beast mode and conquer the tough moments that used cripple him.

That said, THUNDER UP!

Except he's going up against probably the only other player in the league that can match him shot for shot, drive for drive. I've got the Thunder in 6. LeBron/Durant is pretty much a wash, same with Wade/Harden, but the Heat don't really have an answer for Westbrook and I think Ibaka and Perk can hold Bosh in check. I think just the fact that the Celtics (who were giving significant minutes to Ryan Hollins, Greg "The Stiemsroller" Stiemsma, Marquis Daniels, and Keyon Dooling) took the Heat to 7 says something about their team past LeBron and Wade. And yes, I'm still bitter about what I think the Celtics could have done without the injuries to Jeff Green, Avery Bradley (who would have played shut down defense on Wade and whose future I'm very excited about), Chris Wilcox, and (gulp) Jermaine O'Neal (though it's no surprised he got injured). ;-)

Durant is good no doubt - but not on the same level.

    • Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down. 
    • Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner. 
    • Day 78 - 2026-03-10 Backswing work at the net with foam balls, a few real ball swings.
    • Day 525 - 2026-03-10 Got some work in before lessons today (was going to play after but it decided to POUR). Then like three minutes in later on.
    • Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
