NBA Finals: Cleveland Cavs VS Golden State Warriors

[SlinkyRedfoot]

I'm getting close, too. But hey, 40 is the new 20, right?

You're the fourth person to tell me that this week. . .

 

[Hambombs]

Yeah, what can you do? The team that deserved to win got the win. Congrats to the Cavs and to Cleveland for ending the long drought. They're good for another 52 years. LOL. Even if you've got the talent and the system to win, there's only so much poor play that your team can absorb. Even in the Portland series, our poor play was costing us, but when you go up against an all-time great in LeBron, he will absolutely take full advantage of you.

Oh for sure. I said this when we were up 3-1 and I'll say it again. No excuses. But Curry was not 100% IMO not even close. He just didn't look like himself. Bogus going down hurt a lot. The warriors need Tatum or Parsons to replace Barnes and need another big man behind bogut.

 

[Robotech]

Ha! Well, we have some things sort of in common. I met my wife in Ohio, but we got married in California - Calistoga.

Really a nice place.

 

[Black Adam]

Fuck, that'd be nice. I hit the big 4-0 this Sunday.

It's why i stopped aging at 29...

No, really ...

Who lost the most money with their shit Finals performance?

Ezeli or Barnes?

 

[gordontrue]

Everyone said going into the playoffs the WCF was the real Finals. We just thought it'd be Warriors-Spurs. So it was Ws OKC, still the 'real Finals'

Barnes, hands down...

Yeah, I think you're right about Curry. He looked a bit slower and less explosive after the injuries, but like you said, it's the breaks. Last year the Cavs had injury issues. Even with our issues, the Cavs still needed to convert, and they certainly did. That was a great, great MVP performance by LeBron.

Man, I really hope we go big and get Durant! I feel it's very unlikely, but I'll just dream about it, anyway. Then I'll dream that we'll pick up Dwight Howard for cheap to back up Bogut. LOL.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Barnes, hands down...

I don't know...

He will still get multiple 15-18 mil offers.

I wouldn't give Ezeli 5.

He is garbage.

Someone serviceable behind Bogut would kinda be key imo...

I only got about four hours of sleep last night and I was a tad hungover this morning. I had a burger for lunch, which I typically don't do, and now I want to sleep under my desk.

Fucking day is going SLOWLY.

Klay didn't show up for game 7.

Actually, nobody outside of Green did.

 

[Robotech]

Barnes, hands down...

Yeah, definitely. If I'm not mistaken, he was hoping to be a max guy or close to a max guy, but why would any GM invest that kind of money after seeing this guy go 5 for 32 from the field in the last 3 games of the Finals. Does the man have the yips? I would never sign a man who has the yips.

Well, you kinda got me there. Just thinking he was in line make some VERY fat cash before his finals performance. But we'll see how it goes...

Curry wasn't getting past love. That alone says it, he looked like he was playing on mud. He was pretty much limited to shooting jumpers. He didn't want to take it to the rim to much cause of the knee which I understand. But yeah Durant is more likely now but not a great chance still lol. Batum and Parsons would be great gets though. Dwight wouldn't be bad either haha

And folks STILL wonder why i don't drink...

I heard alcohol ages you. This is important for old guys like us to know. LOL. I really don't drink very much anymore. I have a beer occasionally. But yeah, you had a great reason to celebrate last night. Congrats again to Cleveland.

Would not be surprised if it's Howard.

If the Rockets have interest in Barnes, it's a easy trade.

They can get close to 20 mil under the cap.

I guess all it takes is for one GM to make that huge offer to Barnes, but man, I would be very nervous about committing that much money to him after seeing his performance this year. He was missing a ton of shots all year, but these last 3 games were a complete collapse.
