this year’s playoffs most remind me of the golden era of nba playoffs (87-97)

although the game itself has changed in such a shitty way, even these players, as bad as they are, can make it exciting for the viewers

Yep, the 1997 Miami Heat would sweep any team in this years playoffs. Too bad the Bulls had to cheat to beat them that year. Sad.

I vote that Chinese people are responsible for all sports nicknames from this point on

Looks like the Cavs are going to tie up the series after being down 0-2. Exciting!

These games have been pretty bad to watch. The GS HOU games are all blowouts. The BOS CLE games look like euro soccer clusterfucks.

Not a blowout!!!

Lots of flailing tho

Beautiful game. Until the last 5 minutes or so. Then yuck.

I liked when Chris Paul taunted Draymond Green. I'd like to see more taunting.

yes. I liked it when Steph had his incredible run and did the "keep talkin that crap" with the lip hands and then did the dance after another three.

It's already interesting! But Cleveland was doing really well in game 2 in Boston before LeBron tweaked his neck. I think they'll win the series.

i watching tonight to see if lebron james can the entire goddamn world at bball all by himself. as a non-nba watcher, my impression so far is that nba players are too good at basketball. it's not enjoyable how offensively skilled they are, it degrades the competitive balance between offense and defense.

sys · « **Reply #2468 on:** May 27, 2018, 08:17:16 PM »

i guess cleveland, ex-james, is enjoyably free of offensive skill.

Korver is pretty skilled at shooting but the rest are garbage since Love is out

sys · « **Reply #2470 on:** May 27, 2018, 08:59:30 PM »

actually, the celtics don't seem all that skilled either. i think i just tuned into a good couple of minutes for both teams and it fed a pre-existing bias of mine.

chum1 · « **Reply #2471 on:** May 27, 2018, 09:03:58 PM »

This looks like poorer than average quality. Did they say that Cleveland was 2-20 on 3 pt shots? Yeesh.

Greatest sporting event in the world

LeBron is the GOAT .

i tuned in for the james/history thing. but, i confess, i enjoyed seeing smart and whichever morris it is fail and lose much more. i only wish lue could have lost as well.
