I'm just impressed that this board called Pat McCaw having an impact on the Finals 8 months ago

T-Lance is one smart guy

Right? For me it's baseball, which I like as much as basketball. But not with this shitty ass Giants team to watch.

I don't like baseball nearly as much as basketball or football but man is Aaron Judge fun to watch. Just drilled a 2 run HR in the 8th to put the Yankees ahead but yeah July is a pretty rough month when it comes to sports. Basically all we have is baseball and it is almost impossible for me to sit and watch all 3+ hours of a baseball game unless it is the playoffs. I would watch the first 2-3 innings then tune back in during the 7th. All about surviving til August when football camps and preseason are starting.

BK you don't make me boo many of your posts, but this one did.


Was coming to congratulate all the Golden State fans.

Steve Kerr was really emotional after the game, dude's legit

 

[MightyMouse]

That Golden State team was a freight train wrecking everything in it's path. Cleveland played great games 3-5. But overall GS showed why they are the champs, clutch shooting, great hustle, and able to take a punch before throwing an even better counter.

Great season for my Cavs, they had to play perfect in the finals to have a chance and didn't do it. It will be a fun off-season to see what guys they keep and try to pick up.

Congrats to GS.

So I guess the next question is -- has KD surpassed Jordan as the best player of all-time?

No, has JaVale surpassed Wilt though?

 

[Heatles84]

Yep....I got nothing bad to say to @gordontrue or @Shanemansj13 .

Wiggy talked all that shit.

Now that the Cavs succumbed to the gentleman's sweep, He's all....

Fuck Wiggy. I got nothing but love for @Shanemansj13 and @gordontrue. Those guys keep it realistic and aren't blind relentless d-bags.

This Cavs team got smoked. He went out of the way of the norm and tried to convince himself that KD was going to shrivel up this series - he did the exact opposite.

For all the bloviating he's done about the Cavs, they now have a lot of questions as their roster as stands cannot contend with the Warriors.

This series isn't a knock on Lebron. If it weren't for him, this would probably be the most lopsided loss in NBA history - he was that good.

As far as predicting Lebron in the Finals and him having revenge. Time is starting to run out in terms of his window considering this December he'll be 33.....then there's his minutes:

When I actually get to see a Dolphins super bowl win, I'll probably off myself right after because that high won't be replicated.

That shit happened in real life, I think after Uruguay beat Brazil to win the world cup in like 1950, 2 Uruguayan dudes killed themselves and left notes saying their life had reached the peak and could only be downhill after

Dude is bionic though he's like a cyborg created by scientists to dominate basketball

 

[Heatles84]

They are so screwed.

No picks.

Players only using them to drive up their price.

I hope Doc doesn't banish Crawford to the Nets.

Dude deserves better than that.

But, I think it will be him or Austin to clear some space.

He might lose the team (Clips) if he ships out Crawford over his son.

He is. But the decline is definitely there. Look at the defensive side of the ball. In his Miami days, Lebron would make you work on the offensive end. Not anymore.

 

[msgkings322]

Gotta remember, Warriors fans were known for being the best crowd, the most loyal fans, selling out with 20 win teams. They deserve this.

It's fair to say he's more on the downside than up, but it's really small right now. But obviously it will happen more each year.

 

[Heatles84]

Exactly. The drop off is going to come. The question becomes, how are you (the Cavs) going to get better when it's pretty clear that you're not going to get much more from Lebron (most likely) at this juncture moving forward? Is Kyrie Irving going to be the difference? How's Love going to factor in moving forward?

On Love, teams now know the Cavs are going to be shopping him around. How much are they going to get back for him? The only team I could think that would trade for him is the Pacers with Paul George. But if you're the Cavs, do you do a 1-year rental hoping that PG-13 resigns with you in the offseason when he's made his intentions known that he wants to go out West?

This was the 1st NBA finals in history that had 4 players average 25+ points per game.
Durant, Curry, James & Irving.

 

[msgkings322]

Durant put himself over in these finals. Can't help but be impressed.

Still not a fan of the rest of the warriors but kd won me over a little bit

How can you not be a fan of Klay? Dude's a pure baller.

 

[msgkings322]

I have to hand it to Durant. I really thought he was due for an off game. Instead he had his best game yet.

Congrats to the warriors.

Get my new Avi ready, @msgkings322.

I sent it to you via private message, let me know if that works

The devil is always in the details...

Dubs bench in game 5:

35 pts ......10 reb......4 asst.....2 stl...1 blk.....3 to

Cavs bench in game 5:

7 pts.......4 reb....... 2 asst....... 1 stl....0 blk....4 to
