[Hambombs]

I think this series will go 6 max. Sticking with my 5 prediction though

Green is not bullying Adams. Adams would kick the living shit out of him if he wanted to.

Curb stomp?

I don't know if that's true.

But I do know that I'd like to see that fight.

@Lakers+USC=#1

You damn right I love Green

7' 0" 255 lbs. v. 6' 7" 230 lbs, according to their nba.com profiles. Adams' wingspan is reportedly 7' 5". Green's wingspan is 7' 1.25". Adams has the size, but Green would seem to have a significant speed advantage.

Does anyone know why Game 3 of the ECF is being played a day before Game 3 of the WCF? The entire ECF has a game being played every other day, while WCF has this long break between Games 2 and 3. If any team needed the rest, it's the Raptors.

They're trying to get the cavs into the finals as quick as possible so they can have more rest than the dubs

It's kinda odd because WCF Game 1 was played a day before ECF Game 1, and then the NBA lets the ECF play 2 games in between WCF games.

Because they want a long nba finals, more games in the nba finals= more ratings+ more $$$$$. The writing is on the wall

Much less travel time between the 2 cities in the ECF.

Are you joking? I"ve never taken the flight myself, but a flight from Oakland to Oklahoma City couldn't be too long.

 

[Robotech]

lol

LOL, is the NBA forcing the Warriors and Thunder to travel by covered wagon?

 

[Robotech]

Curry and Durant traveling together in a covered wagon carpool in order to discuss next season.

Lol. I agree travel had 0 reason to do with it.

Sure.....but in distance, Cleveland is just 290 miles away from Toronto (same time zone)...while Oakland/SF is 1,625 miles from OK City (2 time zones)

you know that for sure..do you??

No...by skateboards & mountain bikes.

The hot air balloons weren't approved.

It's all about tv and filling the primetime spots.

Nba doesn't want Friday... that's a bad tv day. But the best spot is Sunday night so they want the better matchup (wcf) on Sunday.

I agree. Back in the 70's, 80's and 90's, guys like Draymond were call "enforcers" and every team had one or wanted one. They were the guys that if they were on your team...you loved them. If they weren't...you hated them.

Exactly...every team had one.

Not all had an intimidating mean streak like Maurice Lucas, but they knew their role and they played it well...Kermit Washington (old old school) Rambis (newer old school)...Lakers.
