Are you guys watching this draft? This guy on the right is just hilarious. Bilas is getting so annoyed with him.
I mean, Simmons is 100% Celtic fan, Bilas, well everyone knows about him. So what about Simmons is all that great? He just talks alot without notes :dunno:

I was actually hoping for this outcome just so that guy who burned LeBron's jersey 4 years ago will feel like a complete dumbass.
He has to be so happy to not play with Chalmers any more.
Wiggins is gone. If they somehow get Love, the Love/Irving/James trio will be 100x better than the big 3 in Miami.

As long as Mike is still there, I'm still a Heat fan.
Also a story. Lebron trying to get Wiggins as far away from his team as possible. :surprised:

Indy may decide to sit him the entire year since he's a huge investment for the future. I also saw somewhere (I think that d-bag Rovell tweeted it) that Indy gets $6.5M in insurance if PG misses the entire year...

The draft lottery is designed to discourage tanking. The team with the worst record has only won 3 times (90 Nets, 03 Cavs, 04 Magic). IMO it does more harm than good because it alienates your fanbase.Not gonna need the number 1 pick to get foster though. That's why this really doesn't make sense.

The team that is really sweating things out this year is the Lakers. They are currently the 4th worst team and have a top 5 protected pick. If a couple of ping pong balls bounce the wrong way and they land in the 6th spot their pick goes to Philly. A big LOL at the Steve Nash trade if that happens...wouldn't you say that incentivizes LA's tanking?

But before all of the Dubs fans get too excited, I'd be hoping that San Antonio stays in the 6 seed in the West. It would be pretty embarrassing to win 67 or 68 games and not even make it to the WCF. If the Spurs stay at 6 they'll at least have to go through Houston andMemphisthe Clippers before getting to Golden State.
Davis creates a worse match-up problem than Westrbrook would have. Would have rather seen OKC.

the nba is so lol. check the dubnation game at the end of the 3rd and they are down 20. just look again and now they are down 3 with 20 seconds left. they should just make the game 15 minutes long
they should only play the last 15 minutes, not the first 45 so in this case gs would already have wonThis NBA noob thinks the game is 60 minutes

Yeah, when I saw the announcement I was expecting much worse. That's a pretty weak move by the NBA.
This Warriors/Rockets game is why you watch the NBA. Fast paced, back and forth, good defense without fouling, better offense. Just great.
Would like to see a little more chippyness, but other than that it has it all.

If LeBron carries this group of cast offs, nobodies, and gimpy all stars to the Finals it will be the most impressive thing he's done since the last time he took Cleveland to the Finals. Steph had a great year and was deserving of the MVP, but LeBron is still the best player on the planet.

Well that's interesting. So you're a fan of teams that came up 1 yard and 90 feet short of tying up the final game of the season? This sounds more like some sort of hell than a blessing.

this is already getting ugly for GS :sdeek:
this game delivers
Six more of those, please :love:there will be 3 more games, maybe one in Cleveland will be close if JR gets hot :(
LeBron almost won a Finals game on the road by himself. The rest of the Cavs will pick it up. This series will go at least 6, and likely 7.Hope so. The problem is those other cavs aren't very good.
They are much better than what they showed tonight tho. Other than Mozgov the supporting cast played below their abilities.LeBron almost won a Finals game on the road by himself. The rest of the Cavs will pick it up. This series will go at least 6, and likely 7.Hope so. The problem is those other cavs aren't very good.
Yes, the rest of the Cavs did not play well. But that was the best (statistically) that Lebron has ever played in a Finals Game. I doubt he continues at that level. And Curry and Thompson played a bit below their level too.
All that when really my biggest take away from game 1 is this: If Lebron makes that last shot OR the put back goes in, everyone is freaking out and saying since Cleveland stole on in GS they are now the favorites (especially since that means Irving never gets hurt). Instead GS pulls away in OT, and now everyone is saying GS could possibly sweep. This is a 6+ game series. And it will be a fun one.
is lebron not clutch anymore? 2 games in a row he could have won it and didn't. God damnitI dont know, but I'll definitely forget all about that the next time he manages to make a gw shot.

Lebron deserved that.yup. stud.
He complains a lot
He's easily the best player in history of the Cleveland Cavaliers
Team Lebron. He's been Michael, Magic and Bird all rolled in one this series.
I said from the beginning of the season that if GS didn't win it then I wanted Lebron to win. But holy crap he complains about calls at a Curtis Kelly rate.Just because you are 6'8 and built like Hercules doesn't mean you can't get fouled. The non-call where Iggy hacked him across both arms while shooting was complete bullcrap.

Delly was 3/10, had 6 TOs and still managed to completely dominate the league MVP. What an embarrassing performance by Steph.

Meanwhile if you breathe on Steph while he's thinking about shooting it's 2 (or sometimes 3) FTs every time.

Agreed. Don't know why you're using Delly's offense as reason to believe that he's bad at defense, but you do you.
Every time JR made a dumb foul I thought about how you can take the player out of the Knicks but you can't take the Knicks out of the player.This was after he took like 6 steps on the post, right?I said from the beginning of the season that if GS didn't win it then I wanted Lebron to win.

Steph was the best player on the best team, so the MVP award was warranted.I hate the "best player on the best team" criteria people use for the MVP. Take Steph off the Warriors and they still win 55+ games. Take LeBron off the Cavs and they may not win 20.
But Curry has his worst shooting performance since 2010, and the game was won by 2 in OT. If Lebron had that night, it's a double digit blowout.

I don't like consensus greatest players on principle. I want to see them go down.

Yes, 100%. Or they are a girl and have zero dick, so I don't know how to insult them.
Kyrie who?
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than goodPffttt.
When is Lebron gonna let the hair go?When you let the lebron hate go!
But my God how do people hate Lebron.Cause they're losers. It's the 9th wonder of the world. If MJ never existed, ppl would love this guy.
Also, how badly does Mark Jackson want the Cavs to win?I wouldn't go that far. Sure it has to be tough to watch another coach have this kind of success with his former team, but I bet he really wants Steph to get a ring. They had a great relationship.
He called Lebron the greatest player in the world like a dozen times tonight. Obviously he hates Steph.Also, how badly does Mark Jackson want the Cavs to win?I wouldn't go that far.

Hahahah is that what it is really?When is Lebron gonna let the hair go?
You mean t the shoe polish? I think it is hilarious watching his hairline change throughout the game.

I think Lebron hate is partially nostalgia - people like to think players were better in their day
partially his interactions w/ refs
partially "take my talents to south beach"
This is what I meant WCI think Lebron hate is partially nostalgia - people like to think players were better in their day
partially his interactions w/ refs
partially "take my talents to south beach"
I think also people resent the physicality of his game and discount his achievements because of it. Same reason why people will put Tim Duncan on par with Shaq, wilt gets a lot of hate too.

but no one really disliked Shaq like they dislike LeBron. chum brings up good points but I don't think most of his haters know that stuff.

But that's the rushed, inflated world LeBron James lives in. It is no surprise that he already refers to himself in the third person -- "LeBron stays humble by just being LeBron," he says -- or that he shouts "King James!" or "You sorry!" after he's dunked on you.

3rd in all time 3pt%, he owns 3 of the top 5 records for most 3's in a season (including #1 and #2), most 3's in a single Finals series, and only player to hit 7 3's twice in the same Finals series. I mean seriously, what else are you looking for 6 years into his career?

Saying someone is the greatest _______ of all time is the GOAT way to start an ostensibly never ending sports related discussion/argument.that is so true.
Curry is definitely a better a shooter than Steve Kerr and without a doubt the best shooter ever.
He sure was.Curry is definitely a better a shooter than Steve Kerr and without a doubt the best shooter ever.
Kerr was a pretty good shooter.
Pete Marivich, Oscar Robertson and Jerry West would tee it up long range with reckless abandon, despite no 3 pointerAll worse shooters than Curry. This isn't taking much time at all.
Kerr has a higher 3pt%, but he also averaged 6 points a game over his career, and less than one 3 made per game.Curry's three point percentage is crazy good but what makes it even crazier is how high his usage is. Look at this list:
Dan Marle SP* and Ray Allen!Majerle never shot 40% on threes for a season. Put down the NBA Jam controller.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/fg3_pct_career.html
Reggie Miller is the only other real star on the list and even his usage was quite a bit lower than Curry's.
So does Bron force a game 7 or is this thing over?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7OyKAFu50M

Right, I was saying that it's unimportant that Kerr's % was so high because he barely touched the ball.

Yeah, they tend to not put that on the banners in the gym.
Four years after his father's murder, Steve Kerr played a game at Arizona State in which he was greeted with mocking chants by 10 to 15 fans of "P.L.O." and "where's your dad?" during the pregame warm-up.[10][11] Though teary-eyed, Kerr scored 20 points in the first half, making all six of his 3-point attempts.[11]
Jordan fought a gambling addiction his entire career.
Wilt Chamberlain is the best shooter of all time and his usage is absurd.
100 rough ridin' points
Shot 73% from the field in one season 68% in another.
And every night he consumed copious amounts of drugs and alcohol, and slept with a dozen women. If he had worked out like Curry and had the 3 pointer he would have shot 130% from the field and averaged 70 ppg.
are the cavs minus bron bron, the worst collection of role players the finals have ever seen?
I don't know how him disrespecting women, has anything to do with his greatness? :confused:
Can you imagine the headlines if Cleveland were playing Oakland in the world series (yes, I know they're both in the al)?
"Small Market Series likely the end of baseball"
"Nobody watches baseball anymore per anticipated world series ratings"
Meanwhile, we have this fuckfest. I can't tell you how boring it's been watching 5 players from golden state try and tackle lebron as he dribbles towards the baseline. When did the nba become the suck fest that is cbb??? The nba rough ridin' sucks, and I'm not sure it isn't staged by the same people that put on the WWF.

Reading about that team is hilarious. The 76ers won the east that year with only 56 wins. The rough ridin' Milwaukee Bucks finished 2nd in the east in 2001. The second best player for the Sixers in 01 was Aaron McKie and they didn't have injuries.
People talk about how bad the east is now but from the time MJ retired in 1998 to the Pistons title in 2004. The east won 5 finals games in 5 seasons :Yuck:
The Bron greatness deniers are out in full force on FB. Shaking my dang head...He is great. One of the greatest. If not the greatest. I just don't like him.

if lebron wants to win he is gonna force love to take less than max contract and he'll do it himself too, just like what they did in MiamiMeh. I hope there is more drama than that.

Fire Luke WaltonHow does anyone entrust the Warriors to Luke Walton? Because Bill had the greatest game in NCAAB history? I don't see how this makes Luke worthy of this awesome gift.
"Coaching" in the NBA is overrated. It's mostly about managing personalities and egos. The Warriors don't have issues to deal with, so you can pretty much just roll the ball out there.
And by nearly all accounts Luke Walton was a likeable teammate his entire career.
thats pretty close to unfair, like how does that even happen
Do you guys listen to Bill Simmons podcast? It is pretty heavy On NBA and has me jazzed for some NBAOh yeah. Kinda missed Friday Rollin today. Now that the NFL is done I'm really looking forward to the next 4 months of BS pods.

Heat win tonight and we're another step closer to Heat/Cavs ECF :drool: :curse:seems like last night's failure at the end of regulation might of broke the Raptors, a Heat-Cavs ECF is as good as the East has had since the Celtics-Heat in 2012 :popcorn:
On paper w/o Bosh & Whiteside less than 100 I agree but I think the entire Miami organization has all sorts of mindfuckery planned for LeBronWhiteside should be back for the ECF sometime if they can make it. :peek:
I think the Warriors might have a harder time in the WCF than Cleveland in the ECFI think everyone thought that going into the playoffs tho, imo.

Very Oklahoma way to lose a series. I mean LOL.
If anyone with two functioning eyes thinks Jordan's Bulls are better than this Warriors team, they should be dismissed as brain dead.I legit think the game is too different to compare. I don't think those Bulls teams would come close to the Thunder or Cavs, either.

Why do all midwesterners hate the warriors? They're a fun team to watch. Curry is adorable.

I'm satisfied.They're flashy and Draymond is emotional?
Wasn't the bulls the same way? Rodman was no fan favorite, but ppl sure did love the crap out of them. They were great for the NBA.Why do all midwesterners hate the warriors?

Nothing against the Warriors, they are amazing to watch. I tend to be more of a casual fan of individual players; I do not own an NBA tshirt. Just personal preference of Lebron or Durant before Steph. :dunno: Draymond is not doing GSW any favors.That's fair.
I think what WackyCat08 is trying to say is only alums of okc are the real thunder fansYou sure don't hear from them until the playoffs start. :dunno:
Curry is arrogant and Draymond was a bitch in the WCF.
I don't think Cleveland stands a chance. Kyrie and Love are going to have to play out of their minds for it to be close.It will be very competitive. Come on.
I don't know any NBA fans in Iowa, Missouri, or Kansas that have a strong dislike for either OKC or Golden State. I also imagine its it's difficult most NBA fans who live in either place to have fierce loyalty to any NBA team given the only team even close to being local has been around for 8 years.Yes, this is what I was trying to say in a certain way, but twitter would make you think otherwise. I would imagine most of the ppl in these states are casual fans as well, if they're fans at all.

I like him, the nut kicking thing was stupid though.yes, when he struts around like a tough guy but resorts to flailing nut kicks it's hard to enjoy his tremendous versatility.
Between the Giants, Dubs, and Sharks it is hard to root for the Bay Area right now.
LeBron is still the best basketball player on the planet. He almost won the Finals by himself last year. If Kyrie gives him any help at all the Cavs will win the series this year.
crazy midwesterners not from Cleveland are cheering for Lebron:Woot: :excited: :cheers:

I am one of two Timberwolves fan I know and my fandom preceded my residency here. I don't know any Bulls fans, I don't think they are considered the local market. Most NBA fans around here are Warriors fans because of Harry Barnes. The Warriors and T-Wolves are covered as the local teams by the news stations.

I also rooted for MJ too. When I don't have a dog in the fight, I want to see the best of the best, be the best! :emawkid:
That was a very dangerous move by Green. Reminded me of the play that dislocated Kevin Love's shoulder last year, only this looked intentional.
Draymond Green is a punk bitch and makes his entire team extremely hateable.
Well of course they aren't identical, I can see, but they both involve attempting to drag someone down by pulling on the arm and having it look incidental, no? Good grief?
I was rooting for Golden State to win 73 games but also wanted OKC to mush their faces.
I will be rooting hard for Cleveland in the Finals.

Well of course they aren't identical, I can see, but they both involve attempting to drag someone down by pulling on the arm and having it look incidental, no? Good grief?
yes, good grief. Reggie Miller and Chris Weber both thought the Green play should have been a no-call and said it happens all the time. Adams had his elbow in Green's ear and Green was falling. Olynyk just flat out reached for and grabbed an arm with two hands.

Rusty, comeonman!
Also I hate Reggie and C-Web as analysts. It's shocking how much worse they are than Van Gundy and Jackson.
If people didn't talk so much about Green, I'd barely notice him. Like, he'd be just another scrubby Harrison Barnes role player type to me. His game is boring as hell. Can he even dunk? I honestly have no idea.
CWebb is fine, Reggie is gawd awful. But yeah Jackson-JVG are BITB.
I wonder if the Warriors success still eats at Jackson or if he's moved on? This all could have been his...

LeBron James 11 times out of 10.
Steph is cute and all, but his supporting cast is very cushiony for him. Hell freezes over before James' team wins a Finals game with him scoring 11 points.
1. James
2. Durant
3. Kawhi
4. Westbrook
5. Curry
Curry is an incredible shooter (GOAT?), but he also gets to play with a couple all stars and the Finals MVP. Must be nice...

Yeah Cleveland has been playing very well and will be rested. Plus they are actually capable of making 3 pointers (lots of them) to keep up with GS.
Draymond really sticking it to chumBoring threes

The Cavs will beat either of those puds in 5 games (or less).
Wade is 34 and by the time this series is over he won't have anything left in the tank. Toronto is doomed without Valanciunas.

Looks like back-to-back for the Warriors who I watched live and in living color sweep the 1975 Finals. For lifetime Warriors fan cRustyofSanFran this has to be a real treat.

My grandparents were also alive in the 70's, man, what a different time and a great one to be alive :cyclist:
It wasn't my best effort Dax, I was making an old joke and the mid 70's seems like a century ago. So maybe that was a better joke that you are like a century old to me :dunno:
I am 100% a bandwagon Warriors fan based on proximity to where I live, just like the Thunder fans in this thread.
Draymond really sticking it to chum
Draymond really sticking it to chumBoring threes
The Cavs will beat either of those puds in 5 games (or less).
Wade is 34 and by the time this series is over he won't have anything left in the tank. Toronto is doomed without Valanciunas.
What's your point?
Hypocrisy. LeBron and the boys were your team, and now that they are doomed you are changing your tone. Sad.
LeBron James 11 times out of 10.
Steph is cute and all, but his supporting cast is very cushiony for him. Hell freezes over before James' team wins a Finals game with him scoring 11 points.
1. James
2. Durant
3. Kawhi
4. Westbrook
5. Curry
Curry is an incredible shooter (GOAT?), but he also gets to play with a couple all stars and the Finals MVP. Must be nice...
How negligent have agents been in not routing their free agent clients to eastern conference teams over the last decade?

Absolutely not. I was talking about my perception of him and I didn't even watch the game.Draymond really sticking it to chumBoring threes
Sounds like a bench player having a exceptionally good game type stuff, which isn't inconsistent with my perception of him.

In all seriousness I know exactly what you're saying. It's baffling that he's 2nd team All-NBA when you watch him play. I can kind of understand the defensive accolades, but I don't even think he's the best defender on his team.
Green fills up the entire box score: 14.0pt/9.5reb/7.4ast/1.5stl/1.4blk
Kind of a crazy line of stats, but he's the first person in NBA history to accomplish a 14/9/7/1/1 season.
Kyrie is the most overrated player in the league.

Damn, I may have overestimated the cavsI don't think Cleveland stands a chance. Kyrie and Love are going to have to play out of their minds for it to be close.It will be very competitive. Come on.
Yeah Cleveland has been playing very well and will be rested. Plus they are actually capable of making 3 pointers (lots of them) to keep up with GS.
I hope Cleveland puts up a better fight at home. So far they don't look like they belong on the same court.
Kyrie is lukewarm garbage.He's been terrible the second half. Just awful.
The NBA game is unwatchable. Basketball in general is at an historic low.:love:

Draymond was trying to get up and avoid being stepped over. Blatant attempt for the NBA to add more games to the series.No, he took a clear shot at Lebron from behind after he had already stood up. One is really quick before the one that missed.

Lebron James puts Draymond Green between his legs by unnecessarily walking over him. I think Draymond was trying to get Lebron off so he could get up but not anywhere near an intentional nut shot. He could have easily connected from there. Even the push that missed wouldn't have been more than a shove that happens on almost every possession.
this is more a kneeing but my beta machine is acting upthe nut punching Bill Laimbeer

Might not have been an intentional nut shot, but was clearly unnecessary contact.

I saw it upon rewatching after your first post. I just think it warrants a flagrant much less than the OKC no-call.
My biggest issue overall is that Draymond was allowed to play vs OKC when the contact was more egregious, imo, and him playing would help the NBA create a better series. Against the Cavs and up 3-1, he is penalized when it could hurt GS and create a better series. I don't think he is suspended if the series is 2-2 and I think the NBA is keeping a finger on the scales to their benefit.

Still don't think the Cavs thing was anywhere close to a punch.

and it still was regarded by the league as a lesser foul than the Steven Adams play.
Rather than a punch, I'd probably describe it as a backhanded nut-flick.

Sure, what it wasn't was an arguable inadvertent follow-through to a shot or steal attempt or something. Lebron baited him and Draymond took it. I think it all got handled appropriately.
Lebron absolutely baited him and maybe I am giving Draymond too much leeway for that.
Regardless of all of it, I think the Warriors win tonight.
He's supposedly watching the game in a suite at an A's game across the parking lot.They've never changed a game time for the playoffs as far as I can tell and there's a good chance they'll have a decent turnout because of people wanting to be close to the warriors.
Also, very lame of the A's to not adjust their game time tonight.
Kyrie is lukewarm garbage.Yikes!

I think Cleveland should not be allowed to win because of those ugly uniforms they're wearing.
Varejao has no business being on an NBA basketball court
Turns out Lebron and Kyrie could have beat the 96 bulls.No doubt
Pretty happy for Lebron. What a great person and player.
Lol, I've never seen adam silver before. Why are they booing him?
Good game. Were the boos really for the commissioner?Lots of Warrior fans legitimately think the commissioner suspended Draymond just to prolong the series.
Too long, too many teams. Needs to eliminate 2 teams from each conference.eliminating 2 teams would reduce the number of games but wouldn't make it shorter
Tyronn Lue: it's not about me right now, it's about the players.
Like, does anyone think this guy actually did anything of consequence for that team?
Played Jefferson a lot more than most would have thought.

I know, but that's the biggest thing for me. The NBA overall is a pretty awful product in the regular season with 50% getting into the playoffs and about 30% of teams pretty openly tanking. There are basically 16 playoff spots for 22ish teams trying to get them. If you try and have an all-star, you should be able to get in. Fixing the lottery should also be a priority.
To shorten: First round is back to best of 5. Games every other day with an extra day for travel. The finals took almost 3 weeks and that is stupid.

The 2-2-1-1-1 format affected the length more than anything. The only unnecessary off day was between Games 1 and 2.
It seems very weird to have the first three rounds be one format, and then a different format for the Finals. 2-2-1-1-1 is the best way.

Such a Knick move but at least they didn't give up any picks and actually got one back.The Knicks have been terrible for most of the past 15 years and the NBA has done just fine.
I will say his slashing ability complements shooters like Melo & Porzingas better than most of the Bulls rosters when Rose was there. As much as I hate when people say this about cbb & cfb blue bloods I do think the NBA is better when the Knicks are good.

Sabonis was a great pick up. Assuming that Durant makes the best financial decision and returns, OKC will be trying to resign him and Westbrook next year. Instead of worrying about resigning Ibaka and Adams as well, they have an Adams replacement in Sabonis along with another year of Oladipo on their rookie deals.Oladipo is an upgrade over Waiters and has a much more affordable contract. Win-win.

All of that said, Duncan vs Lebron debate isn't settled yet.

I lost a lot of respect for KD. Winning a title is the ultimate goal and I get that. But great superstars want that challenge. The challenge of him winning a title in Okc was definitely achieveable. I meen Okc could have been Nba favorite by Vegas odds or at least top 2. So instead he joins a team that went 73-9, has a 2 time MVP and a super deep talent roster already. We came up just short this year and I don't want the challenge to help an already talented Okc team go for a title in 2017.
Wasn't there a lot of speculation that KD didn't want to play with Westbrook because he wanted to be the man on his team and not part of a 1-2 superstar punch. I guess joining a team with the MVP, a 2nd team all nba (Draymond) and a 3rd team all nba (Klay) would suggest that being the Man wasn't that important I guess

OKC fans must be devastated. GSW fans are like, "huh. next seasons will be interesting."
If I'm a GSW fan I don't want Klay and Steph chucking 3's traded for Durant chucking 2's.
I don't see how any team will be able to guard the combination of Durant-Curry-Thompson-Green. It's a matchup nightmare.
Also, Golden State somehow stole Zaza Pachulia for like $3M.

Popovich has about 10 months to figure out how to trump smallball with his frontcourt of Aldridge, Gasol and Leonard. And the Cavs will probably come up with an even better way of guarding GSW than having Kevin Love lock down Steph Curry in crunch time.

The problem with the Heat is that they are good but not good enough to really compete for a title. Every offseason is essentially pass/fail based on adding a star to get them over the hump.

The silver lining is McGruder's chance of making the team increase more and more each day! :bball:

“At All-Star weekend I get a text from a random number, and it goes ‘Yo this Draymond.’ And I’m like, ‘Okay, what up Dray, what’s going on man how you doing?’” Jefferson said on his podcast. “(He replies) ‘I just want to let you know’ — he just sends this text on All-Star weekend, and he’s an All-Star, he’s got his own thing going on All-Star weekend — ‘We’re going to (bleeping) destroy your podcast.’”

Kinda looked to me like Olynyk gave a forearm to the head. Either way it was a stupid play by Oubre. I do enjoy that instead of huffing and puffing Kelly actually did something physical. Will hurt his team though. What a bonehead.
They both flopped. Olynyk is more hateable and also has a man bun so he probably deserved it.

Hahaha I'm no fan of the NBA. They've decided the allow this crap to happen. I hope the Warriors blow them out.The Warriors are going to run the league for a bit it seems. Good for them.

This has the feel of another absolute blowout.
wtf was with the cavs just jacking up whatever threes they could muster with the lead midway through 4th?They were rough ridin' gassed
:excited:
today's nba game is what i call "pussy ball"
fact: the 95 bulls would take the 17 gsw 4-0
The Warriors are probably the best team in history but they're definitely the most beautiful to watch. Hooray for Oakland.wut? did wacky login to your account?
Not waste any money. LeBron is gone after next season.
I may have been a 5 at this point but I was trying to say you can possibly make an argument that there has been a better team in history but there hasn't been one that played the game more beautifully.The Warriors are probably the best team in history but they're definitely the most beautiful to watch.

I agree if we limit it to teams that won championships - I think the 7 seconds or less Suns were more fun with Amare's awesome dunk shots in addition to all the threes.Nope
No stiffs like Zaza or David West give them the edge in fun imoI agree if we limit it to teams that won championships - I think the 7 seconds or less Suns were more fun with Amare's awesome dunk shots in addition to all the threes.Nope
the nba is just stupid now lmao
The Knicks were the big winners on draft night.It's almost sad what Phil has done to a once proud franchise...

I wonder how Harden will be transitioning back to his playing style in OKC. Harden is kind of a headcase and CP3 is a no nonsense guy even tho they are supposedly friends.
HOU is still two or three good players short of giving GSW a series imo
My sources tell me about a super team being formed in New York for the 2018 season. LeBron, Paul, Wade, Melo, George.

OKC traded for Paul George. He is very good. They also signed Patrick Patterson in free agency. He will be a good role player.
LAC traded Chris Paul to Houston. Atlanta traded Dwight Howard to Charlotte. Chicago traded Jimmy Butler to Minnesota. Paul Milsap signed with Denver. Gordon Hayward signed with Boston. Zach Randolph and 57 year old Vince Carter signed with Sacramento.
Michael Beasley is still a free agent.
Probably going to be a Rockets fan temporarily until Lebron goes to the Lakers then I'm all in on LA.

Get your dick out MIR!I think MIR is a T wolves fan so he's had his D out for months already

I think it's more likely that someone who has access to KD's account tweeted that out than it is he has sock accounts.
“I played a little too much, and that (expletive) really hurt me,” Durant, who first addressed the situation on a TechCrunch panel about athletes and branding, told USA TODAY Sports afterward. “To know that I affected Billy Donovan and the Thunder – like I love those people and I don’t never (want to hurt them).
“That was just me being a total (expletive) idiot. I own up to it. I want to move on from it. It probably hit me probably harder than what everybody (thought). Everybody else was telling me to relax, to snap out of it, but I was really, really upset with myself more than anything. It’s not the fact that people were talking about me, because I deserve that, but I’m just more upset with myself that I let myself go that far, you know what I was saying? It was a joke to me at first. I was doing it all summer, and it went too deep. I went too hard… I haven’t slept in two days, two nights. I haven’t ate. It’s crazy, because I feel so (expletive) pissed at myself and I’m mad that I brought someone into it.”
“I look at my life as like a big playground streetball game, because I play in the NBA and I try to – when I think about playing in the NBA, that’s how small I try to make it, so I can control it and so I can really feel the joy of playing basketball,” he explained. “It’s just another way of me talking trash. Like I said, I took it too far, and I regret talking about Billy and the Thunder. It’s just stupid of me. I feel so bad about this (expletive), because I don’t never want to affect anybody else with what I say.”
“No, (there’s) no different account,” he said. “I was just on there talking. It kind of looked that way – it did kind of look that way.”
“I was at home (in his Oakland Hills home),” Durant said. “I fell asleep watching football. I woke up, had charged my phone, and I just happened to look on Twitter. And I see (the person’s comment that sparked his response), and I just don’t remember it. I remember what I said and how I said it, but I just forget everything else. I forgot everything else. I was only focused on that convo, and that was unfortunate. I look like an idiot. My peers are going to look at me like an idiot. All the jokes – bring ‘em. I deserve it.
“The second I realized what I did, I felt like (expletive). Like I said, I look at that stuff as a joke and a big game. Sometimes when I’m in it, I take it too far and I’m in it too much, too deep. But it’s just out of sight, out of mind. I won’t fall into that problem again. I definitely have to move on and not worry about anybody on Twitter, even though it’s fun, you know what I mean?”
“I’m moreso disappointed in myself, that I was acting so childish,” he said. “What I thought was a joke is serious to everybody else, and I lost sight of that and I apologize for that. But I’m going to move on. I’m going to move on, and I’m going to play basketball. You can take what you want from it, do what you want with it, but it happened. I’m going to take it on the chin and move on.”

lebron wants a new coach and lakers want a star asap. who should they get? i think blake would be a hot pickup. averaging 30+ on 50%+ in jan, shoots 3's well. sad to see him rot in detroit.
Could you imagine what Lebron would do to one of his teammates if they were drinking wine on the sideline? I've never had a problem with him and always thought "The Decision" was a bit over the top with the negative feedback, but not a good look last night.

Agree. I think he has a ridiculous ceiling if the right coach helps develop him. He is the only one in the draft class that could turn out better than Doncic, IMO.
NBA playoffs have been an absolute mess so far.
wow. china has the nba completely by the balls.Pretty great timing for the South Park episode last week
I don't quite understand why people are so upset with LeBron. Obviously a ridiculously unique situation but any CEO of a company who relies on China for as much revenue as the NBA does will take stances against statements like Morey's.I assume it’s because he has built a whole lot of his brand and persona on very public moral stands over the last few years. People are upset to find out that was more about making money than personal conviction.

what should his public moral stand be in regards to HK and China that would satisfy folks? (even though most people mad at him also think he should shut up and dribble)
but all social justice causes are different. he probably has a better chance of influencing change for something like education or racial justice in the US than China//HK.
I think Lebron's stance seems far more fake. Unless he wants to go into detail about why he believes the people of Hong Kong are wrong to not want to be a part of China, he probably shouldn't criticize other people for supporting them.

Did he say the people of Hong Kong were wrong? All I saw was he said that Morey (who quickly deleted his tweet) made a mistake?
Also I don't think people in HK are trying to no longer be a part of China, just have more autonomy. China participates in some mumped up crap to be sure but what they're doing with HK is pretty mild on the scale of evil.

They are fine being in China as long as they don't have to live under Chinese authority. They don't want China to be able to extradite Hong Kong citizens, and they would like to be able to voice their opinion without fear of arrest. They also want to be able to have votes that count. I guess that's not the same as "not wanting to be part of China" but it's basically the same.
The tweet he criticized said "Fight for freedom. Stand with Hong Kong." How is it possible to say that message is wrong without saying the people of Hong Kong are wrong?

Didn't watch, but it sounds like it was a great all-star game. Every single person on Twitter other than MIR appears to have loved the Elam Ending
Lol at how salty the Big3 is about it.
Instant replay is bad. Didn't watch last night but if they can't figure it out in 30 seconds, the original call stands. Or don't have it at all

NBA officials will also let a soft foul go in exchange for letting a team keep possession. Then a challenge happens and they have to change it to a turnover (although maybe not now that you can challenge fouls). I remember this happening to Chris Paul late in a playoff game and it was ridiculous.
I, for one, actually enjoyed watching all stars actually give a damn in an all-star game.
Although I don't favor it, there are arguments to be had for the Elam Ending, last night was not one of them. The entire Wichita regional of TBT was a much better watch.
love what the rockets are doing. so innovative
Meh, if it was the 2.4 ball it wouldn't be. We like whole numbers tho
Might restart my slingtv to catch this reset NBA season.
So ESPN has to fire Stephen Jackson right? Amazing he's still got a job.
A highlight of the restart is how often they need to use the delay because it's so easy to pick up the cussingthey don't get paid to be role models

He does get fouled a lot and I appreciate playing to contact, and he does it as much as any guard I've seen. However, he is Floppy von Flopburg.

You still haven't come up with a team that doesn't have a worst five on the court at the end of a finals game, I'll even let you include Rondo and make it 6.
The only other NBA champion with even arguably a worse top 6 is Cleveland but even they had a younger Lebron and a capable JR Smith to go with weirdo Kyrie. Honestly it's a testament to how good LeBron and AD are to have to drag those bums up and down the floor in the finals.
What I don't understand is why Vogel even had those five on the court together. Why is Markieff getting minutes over Kuz, especially when you aren't getting any stops at all and you need scores? Rondo and KCP closed out game 4, where the hell were they? Why did Lebron only guard Butler on the last defensive set, that was completely broken?
That group of five on the floor was assy, there's no doubt about it, but maybe the focus should be on Vogel for putting that trash on there. BTW, Danny Green has two rings, not one, and he wasn't looked at to close down games for either team. I know he doesn't play, but does anyone think Green is a better shooter than JR Smith?
Kobe probably would've preferred they wear their home gold and win the game.
Opened this thread expecting this. Leaving thread satisfied.
Not sure if Lebron has 3 more rings left in him, but he is definitely the GOAT if he can get three more.He's the GOAT now
About time for another Lakers title, does Kostas recieve a ring if they win(I think he has a 2 way contract) and will he be like lol Giannis?https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/1315490184998260736
Danny is a career 40% 3pt shooter. They got the shot they wanted, they just missed. I view markieff as a very serviceable nba player. Anyways, it’s kind of lol that you guys think the Cavs or raptors had a better roster than these lakers but you’re entitled to your opinions.

None. The Raptors and the NBA are trying to get them to Toronto. If that doesn't work, there are several cities that make more sense in a pandemic than KC. The schedule will be compact, they aren't going to select a city that maximizes the travel.

None. The Raptors and the NBA are trying to get them to Toronto. If that doesn't work, there are several cities that make more sense in a pandemic than KC. The schedule will be compact, they aren't going to select a city that maximizes the travel.

Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Tampa, Newark, and Nashville are also possibilities. Louisville and KC were listed as the most likely because they don't have NHL anchor tenets, but Louisville does have an anchor tenet and the Raptors are used to sharing with an NHL team. KC is a good option because their building offers the most flexibility, but the travel is a real problem.
The NBA draft is fantastic, so much better than the NFL draft. I love the celebrations of excellence and family instead of the deluge of poverty porn.Enjoyed last night. Toppin is great. I’m not excited about the Bulls drafting Williams, was hoping for Avdija. RJ Hampton shouldn’t have dropped so far.
Also I love Obi Toppin.
The list of uber famous people who went to my son's high school just got bigger.

why do I hate lamelo ball already? he kinda reminds me of bryce harper, where you just have to think all of the other players hate his guts too
am i dumb or why is there so many bad contracts. like who else is offering hayward 4 years 110, or even 100 million? or 3 years 90 mill? hell he'd probably take 2 years 60 mill.
In Boston he had a 34.5m player option. I’d guess there was at least another team (NY) around 3 for 80 or better. Still nuts he got the 4th yearam i dumb or why is there so many bad contracts. like who else is offering hayward 4 years 110, or even 100 million? or 3 years 90 mill? hell he'd probably take 2 years 60 mill.
Boston offered him 1 year $30 million. Jordan is getting dragged for that contract.

I think I'm more pissed about this now than I was on Saturday night. What the eff were Klay Thompson and Draymond even doing? Rodney didn't even try anything, is he not allowed to talk to anyone? None of the warriors players who were actually there had a damn thing to say, because that was completely innocuous. It was complete trash for those guys to publicly trash anyone like that, especially a dude who never talks and that everyone really likes. Good to know what Klay thinks of role players in the league.
He's still talking crap

I don't hate Lebron the person but I do hate Lebron the basketball player
The basketball world, from players, coaches and media to die-hard fans, rivals and casuals will never give LeBron James the type of deep reverence heaped upon other legends of the game, even guys who he is far and away better and more accomplished at basketball than.
Outside of Steph Curry, it’s hard to imagine anyone currently in the NBA earning it. Dame Lillard may, even without ever truly threatening for a title.
Luka is fun as hell.Yes, he reminds me of Harden
I don't hate Lebron the person but I do hate Lebron the basketball playerI hate both but to be fair it's not all his fault. Too much money to be lost

Petty simple explanation for that, he and KD will forever be considered ring chasers and not just at the end of their careers. They are the only two superstars in the history of the sport who have done this, and I don't think the superteam, composed through free agency, will be a thing that lasts beyond these current dudes.
Giannis could. Needs to win in the playoffs
Why don’t teams wear white/light at home anymore. WTF? This is pissing me tf off

1. Suns - great uniforms (especially the black ones). Awesome crowd atmosphere.
2. Clippers - more like able than last years clippers by miles. Showing grit w/o Leonard. Ty Lue > Doc???
That was a great game, but the replay nonsense really ruined the experience
That was a great game, but the replay nonsense really ruined the experience
Totally. Good for the Suns that they were able to overcome the frame-by-frame of the ball last touching Booker's fingers on the poke away by Beverly. NCAA and NBA need to re-write the rule interpretation to adjust to modern technology. A poke away that ends up out of bounds has always remained with the offense unless it hits off the offensive players body on the way out.
Not counting the years that the Lakers, Warriors, and Spurs won, the Eastern Conference has won 24 out of the last 25 championships. That's DOMINANT!but they suck
You transport any of those teams to the present, they’d get wrecked by the hornets
the injuries suck but it's been fun watching playoffs where anything can happen, and seeing new faces having a chance at it all. superteams :zzz:

Their team is pretty rad. Uniforms are great. City is hype. I hope and believe they will be really good for awhile. Phoenix is cool. If vacation in Phoenix.
people forget but PHX was the only team to go undereated in the bubble AND they did it with out Chris Paul!!The Phoenix fans are hyped.

Well they sucked complete crap before Chris Paul and now they rule complete crap with Chris Paul so if they want to be good for a long time they will need to replace him in the next couple years since he is one hundred years old.
Well they were 34-39 before the bubble and they were 19-63 in 18-19. Then 51-21 this season. Chris Paul has made a huge difference.

prime giannis or prime lebron?Giannis seems to be a “better” teammate but I think peak Lebron’s ability to create for others and defend elite perimeter players makes him superior. Regardless, they are in a class by themselves for the type of athletic plays they have made
i go prime giannis. winning first title younger and with his original team. better stats (less assists but way more rebounds). better defense.
i just think he won't have the same longevity.
I'm sad that my Suns lost but I don't have the capacity to hate the Bucks. Good for them. Hardly an unlikeable player amongst them.

I think everyone should be done comparing players across eras even though they won't. (and yes peak LeBron and peak Giannis were very different eras). The game has just changed too much over time for it to make sense.

Wiggins now has some support.
https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1443269646006767622
I just listened to Wiggins comments to the media, and lol, who in the hell does he think he is?
i wonder what he said
i wonder what he said
Isaac?
https://twitter.com/ClayTravis/status/1442852144646922246?s=20
Note: This Travis tweet is the only video I could find of Isaac's response that didn't also include several minutes of some youtuber giving their opinion on it.
He explained after the game he used the moment to pray and he felt kneeling would not fix the problems in the world. He explained to reporters his belief that the world’s problems could only be solved through coming together in prayer.
Recovery: Isaac tore his ACL on Aug. 2, 2020, in a regular-season seeding game shortly after the 2019-20 season resumed in Orlando. It was only his second game back from a hyperextended left knee, which kept him out for 31 games. "Recovery has been great," Isaac told reporters during the Magic's media day last week. "... Markelle [Fultz] has been right beside me each and every day so we've been able to feed off each other. I'm seeing great progress not just with my knee, but just with my game overall."
Return: Isaac's return to the floor remains unclear. "I will not elaborate on timelines," Magic president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman said on media day, noting that both Isaac and Fultz are coming along well in rehab.
also, I think the worst possible reason someone has given for not getting vaxxed is because people call them idiots for not getting vaxxed
I just listened to Wiggins comments to the media, and lol, who in the hell does he think he is?
A deeply religious man. In fact, the only belief he holds deeper is not losing checks for missing home games.
"It's not really something we believe in as a family," he said. "They know that I had to. It came down to get the vaccination or don't play basketball. I'm 26. I have two kids. I want more kids. I'm trying to do something that will generate as much money as I can for my kids and my future kids, [create] generational wealth. So, I took the gamble, took the risk, and hopefully, I'm good."
Kyrie is really going to let down his best bud KD and lose 20 million dollars because of Instagram conspiracy theoriesIt's so bizarre. And everyone on the Nets is like "welp what are you gonna do? :dunno:"

Good. It's like when my mom was super against getting the vaccine I told her very bluntly that I was done arguing with her about getting it or not, but if she wants to make that personal choice to not get it, then she will have to live with the consequences. The consequences included not going to my grandpas 90th birthday party or holding her nieces newborn. She ended up getting it in part because I was so blunt about it and I was very happy she did.

I went to a Boston v. Sixers game in Boston the other day and it was my first NBA game. It was super fun! Like, I've been to lots of NFL games and it's not really my scene and I've been to NHL games and they are an experience but, again, kind of a pain in my ass. I can definitely see myself being an NBA going to games guy based on this one single experience if I lived within walking distance!
OF NOTE:
1. Boston fans are super nice. Just all friendly and chill.
2. Getting into and out of the arena was even less of a pain in the ass then getting into and out of Kauffman. It was a full arena and it never felt annoyingly busy or crowded.
3. Bought lil steve dave a stuffed larry bird and a tatum jersey at the game. He wore the jersey to school the day I got back and my wife was telling me he was asking alexa what the score was of the game the entire night while I was there after he found out I was going.

Did you take the T to get there? TD Bank Garden is cool, downtown Boston is awesome. Next time you find yourself there, Boston's North end is very close to the arena and you'll find some of America's best Italian restaurants there.
C's fans are really cool, they don't act like Red Sox and Patriots fans, obviously there is a lot of crossover, but Celtics games are a different vibe, even when they are really good, which they aren't now

which team should a neutral fan root for? or rather which should a neutral fan root more against?
golden state has the underdog thing, but i don't buy it, with all the success they've had recently they can gtfo with that. but if they win, it makes KD's rings look worse.
boston is more of a homegrown underdog team, tatum and brown are likeable stars and deserve it. but eff boston.
tiebreaker might be juan toscano anderson talking trash to Rodney McGruderKlay and Draymond were very mean and condescending to Rod - go celtics
How do the 4th best players on the Warriors and Celtics compare?
apparently draymond complimented rod on his podcast.
:excited: gsw = rocky b?
the 7 point possession :excited:
what a great start by boston, i love to see basketball being played at such a high level.
the warriors came out looking old, tired, or just off on defense, need to match boston’s intensity because boston came to take this

Yeah, I know I was saying that he's probably well skilled at tuning conversations out that happens in those seats. Remember this one :ROFL:

How did you guys pick your fav NBA team? All my other sports rooting interests are geography based. The Timberwolves would be my best option I suppose, because I spend increasingly more time in MN.

I was a Knicks fan back then for the same reason. Since then golden state is my favorite but only because of Steph. Who cares if he's not there.How did you guys pick your fav NBA team?

I picked mine out of spite. It was '93 everyone loved the Bulls so I became a Suns fan.
DALLAS -- The home crowd loudly booed at the American Airlines Center during a timeout midway through the third quarter Friday night, when the Dallas Mavericks trailed the Charlotte Hornets by 18 points.
"We probably should have been booed in the first quarter," Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said after a 117-109 loss to an undermanned Charlotte team that dropped Dallas (36-38) to 11th place in the Western Conference standings, a spot out of the play-in scenario.
Dallas is 7-12 since All-Star guard Kyrie Irving joined the team following a blockbuster trade with the Brooklyn Nets that Mavs management hoped would boost their chances to contend this season. That includes 3-7 when Irving and Doncic, who have both dealt with nagging injuries, are in the starting lineup together.
Irving scoffed at what he called "the pretty words that sports loves to put in, like hope and concern," saying that an adjustment period was anticipated after a major midseason trade. The injuries to Doncic and Irving, who has missed a total of four games due to right foot soreness, have complicated that process.
Nevertheless, Irving attributed the Mavs' poor start against the Hornets to a lack of energy.
"We're a very poised group on days where I feel like we put in the best effort, and then on days where kind of the energy falters or we don't start off well or the offense isn't going or people aren't making shots, there could be some emotional pulling in other directions that can dictate the outcome of games," said Irving, who had 18 points, nine rebounds and seven assists but shot poorly (6 of 16 from the floor, including 1 of 8 from 3-point range).
"And we're still feeling each other out in a way of getting used to each other's efforts and attitudes and temperament. And that's a real thing. That's a human thing. That's a human element. Whether people believe it in basketball or not, there's a very fine line between winning basketball games and everyone being on the same page and losing basketball games and things splintering and pointing fingers."
As much as Kidd considered the boos deserved, Irving considered the fans' reaction to be irrelevant.
"So? So what? Just the way I feel about it," Irving said. "I've been in New York City, so I know what that's like. You obviously want to play well, but it's only five people on the court that can play for the Dallas Mavericks. If the fans want to change places, then hey, be my guest. Got years of work ahead to be great enough to be on this level. But our focus isn't necessarily on the boos. It should be on our performance and just being there for each other."

I don’t know how to post Reddit vids, but Draymond trash talking, then getting told by dude he is trash talking that he is getting subbed out is pure as it gets.
Kerr still sucks at coaching
AND UNIFORM INTEGRITY.
Does anyone still like Draymond? I used to like him and then thought he was kind of funny, but he is firmly in Grayson Allen dirtbag territory for me and will never be out of it. I would respect him if he took responsibility for anything.

The "foul" he was supposedly flailing to get would've been such a touch call too. His excuse is that he wasn't trying to hit him, he was flopping for a very bitch call.

New York v Boston would be awesome.
NBA is better when the Knicks are contenders.
