Series Thread: NBA Finals. Cleveland vs. Golden State...

[True Lakers Fan]

Leads me to believe that the Rockets would have beat the Cavaliers as well now

I read a very scary article about how the technology is now so good that you can put a famous person's face and even voice on any video you want and it looks real. You can now create 'pics (and video) or it didn't happen' for things that didn't happen. There's actually a ton of **** out there now of famous actresses faces morphed very convincingly onto **** scenes. Not too long from now there will be video 'proving' Trump or Obama or LeBron or anyone is doing awful shit they didn't do.

Yeah, I've always said that the internet, social media, etc. are, at the same time, the best and worst inventions ever.

The only social media account I have is Facebook and I barely use that. I didn't even set up my Facebook account, one of the daughters did. lol

It's bullshit - I didn't listen to him after the game, but he should have congratulated the Warriors and acknowledged that they have the best team in the NBA. Instead he says he played injured. I know is most likely happened, but still to say it so quickly makes it sound like an excuse in an attempt to diminish the Warriors win

He did congratulate them before he walked off the floor. Saw this video on sportscenter this morning.

He did say that about the warriors. All he said about the injury when asked was that it was self inflicted and that he didn't handle his emotions well after game 1.

I get that the optics of it make it feel like an excuse... But he was the idiot who broke his own hand. How is that an excuse? Excuses usually involve shifting blame to someone else, all he did was assign himself more blame.

I still have a flip phone. Not joking. I don't do that social media shit. And it drives my sons crazy I won't & never have sent a text message out.

Disagree.

I don't think revealing the injury was intended to take anything away from the Warriors. I think it was more about attempting to make himself look better/tougher.

As for congratulating the Warriors, he did that as he was leaving the court when he he came out of the game late in the 4th quarter.

Oh this is gonna be so fun. People yapping about LeOuttaTown every damn day until he makes his mind up about his next destination. I'm not sharing my popcorn, get your own dammit!

I don't even have that. This site and another economics-type site are my social media.

I agree.

The Cavs proved to be pretenders instead of contenders.

 

[Battlelyon]

Oh before I forgot, Congrats to the Warriors and their fans. You were the better team on paper and on the floor.

 

[Wamu]

The Cavs proved to be pretenders instead of contenders.

Not exactly. After all they did pull off the greatest Finals upset of all time 2 years ago. Pretenders don't have rings.

Lol. I thought I was the last person to give up their cell phone. The only reason I have a smartphone is because about a year and a half or so ago, I needed a new phone and asked my wife to take care of it while I was at work.

Came home to a smartphone. I was going to take it back, but then she told me that I could store my music on it. Once I figured out how to do that, I was good with it.

It's pretty funny though that I probably don't use even 20% of what it's capable of.

It's going to be fun, but It's hard to imagine LeLoser staying in Cleveland knowing that the best he would do is get to another finals and lose. Now with that being said - What can Cleveland do to make them a team that can win a title? The ownership will have come up with a practical solution and sell it to Cleveland and honestly I think they will fall short of that big time. LeBron like Kobe Bryant is not a player that other good players wants to play with because of wanting the ball so much. It's a tragedy that Irving wanted out because Irving - Love - LeBron and one more really good player like Leonard or Paul George would have put them into the mix

I actually bought a new flip phone last summer. I just have no use for those phones w/ all the extra options.

You may feel insulted, but you know LeBron is a ball hog - Come on now - Everyone knows that

I don't like Irving but if he can help the Celtics win another title I'll tolerate him. As far as LeBron, I just don't see him returning to the Cavs, their roster is terrible.

As far as your comment that no good players want to play w/ LeBron. Wade & Bosh say hello.
