Being given game 6 of the western conference finals for having a more marketable team.
|
Well its over the 95-96 Bulls meme is dead. Long live the new meme of the 15-16 Warriors.

Warriors won't make the finals so it'll mean nothing
|
73-9? So what the Warriors are the only team that trys in the regular season. Let's see if they can beat a healthy cavs team in the finals cuz they barely beat them without 2 of their superstars
|
Kobe scoring 60 is damn amazing. Even if the Jazz were not playing with playoff motivation.
|
50 fucking shots. His body is going to be hurting tomorrow. But he has a long time to recover. Maan, I watched the first half and it just felt amazing. Wish I could have stayed up for the entire game.
|
Wow you missed the ending. It was pretty amazing, it was vintage Kobe where he wouldn't pass just shoot, but the fact he kept making them to bring them back for the W was great. That along with the aftermath was something we very rarely see in sports. Not a Kobe or Laker fan but it was amazing
|
I could score 20 points if I shot 50 fucking times.
Hope Kobe gets AIDS. |

Jazz should easily get in next year. Houston and Dallas will both get worse while the Jazz will keep improving.
|
That's a looooong time away
|
At least you are not a Bulls fan. I have like 4 years before they get anywhere with their rebuilding process.
|
Hell ya. Tibs is the new Wolves coach. Can't wait to see this team play for the next 5 seasons.
|
:D Cs game tonight was really good. Managed to tie the Hawks series after being down 0-2.
|
Game 3 of the Celtics/Hawks was great too. Just casually tuned in the 4th quarter and became glued till the finish. I'll be watching the rest of that series fa show. Fun watching Thomas and Millsap
|
Celtics are bound to become a top team again in the next 3 years. Brad Stevens is damn amazing and is only like 25 years old. Cs have their coach for the next 30 years.
|
He does look 25 but he's 39. Good coach though and should be in Boston for a long time.
|
:-\ Hawks took the series.
Cs had a few really bad stretches the past couple of games that ended up killing their chances. Team was still entertaining to watch this season and another 1-2 good players away from being a possible legit contender. |

Kinda feel sorry for Byron Scott, not like he had a bag full of top players to work with. Kobe shooting about 20% from the field isn't gonna be enough when the rest of your squad is almost completely bereft of big time experience.
|
Good hire for The Lakers.
Bad decision for Luke Walton. |
Holy fuck at Lowrys half court heave at the buzzer to tie the game in Toronto. Ridiculous
|
And all I want to do is watch Golden State before I go to sleep. Wonderful
|
Then Toronto rolls over and plays dead in OT..way to go
|
Pacers & Frank Vogel part ways.
|
Only quickly noticed it during the Thunder-Spurs game but ESPN stated this year's playoffs already has the most blow out wins and its only half-way done. Didn't notice if it was for all-time or just in recent years.
12 games so far while the previous holder was 11 games for the entire 2011 playoffs. |
I wish they would get rid of the first round of the playoffs. It's pretty pointless and just gets superstars hurt. See Cleveland last year and Golden State/Clippers this year.
|
Lowering if to 3 games would be cool. But greedy owners just care about more more money, if it were up to them they'd have 13 game series
|
Stephen Curry won the MVP award this season and also became the first ever to win it unanimously. Took all 131 first place votes with Kawhi Leonard in 2nd place and Lebron James in 3rd place.
|
That whole Golden State team should be the MVP. When was the last time there was a team that wasn't a "super team" that could jive like that and make history this season?
|
Scott Skiles resigns as Magic head coach after just 1 season.
Go ahead, Phil. Give him a call while you're at it. |
Apparently one of the biggest stories regarding Curry winning the MVP award is Lebron being salty because he got voted 3rd.
Praised Curry for winning but then took a few subtle pot shots at Curry, Leonard, and the voters for put them ahead of him in terms of their perceived "valuable" status. Basically implied Curry won because he's a better player than Lebron and not because he's actually more valuable for the team and/or league. |
I want to like Lebron James because he's a charismatic, interesting dude. But he comes across as incredibly petty. Like who fucking cares.
|
Exactly. You would think after so many years in the league everyone would be use to it. Kind of like Kobe's screw everyone even my teammates mentality but he hasn't reached that point yet. Bringing a title to Cleveland will help but I don't think that is happening this year.
|
Another game in this playoffs with the refs botching calls near the end.
http://abload.de/img/untitled-16fk30.gif That got called as a timeout instead of either as a foul against the Warriors or travel against the Thunder. |
Fuckkkkkkkkk
|
Damn you Nets!
|
Raptors playing their best basketball of the playoffs, still losing by 2 in the first quarter. No threat from the 3= this is going to be a rough series lol
|
Yeah bitches
|
The draft lottery is so rigged, even Dikembe Mutombo knew the outcome early.
|
And as long as it is rigged in the Sixers favor I'm ok with it.
|
Really hope Minn gets a nice piece to add to their roster. They already have enough stars just need a really nice player to put into the rotation.
|
Sixers could get 5 more number 1 picks and still suck.
|
Better the Sixers than the Lakers or the Celtics.
|
That is a very good possibility.
|
Good for the Sixers.
Happy that there weren't any shenanigans since the Cs got to keep their #3 pick spot. |

There we go! Come on Raptors!
|
I care zero about basketball but good for them winning.... I wish them well...
|
Thunder get the win. Nice.
|
Would love to see the league office cry if somebody crashes the Warriors/Cavs final that seemed like a foregone conclusion since, well, the start of the season.
|
Took 15 minutes for the Cavs to get called for a foul......
|
Raptors win! Holy shit!
|
When was the last time the NBA had a possible Cinderella-esque team in the NBA Finals, 09 with the Magic? 2000 with the Knicks in terms of seeds?
Raptors are #2 seed in the East but the way the media's treated them, you'd think they were a lot lower. |

The fix is in against Cleveland..the NBA is tired of LeBron in the finals

Yikes OKC is spanking the Warriors.
|
Like I said
|
I'm going to be be pissed if Steph Curry goes off and I fall asleep.
|
damn @ OKC
|
Fucking Thunder. Want Cleveland to lose forever but they will beat the Thunder.
|
Droford what the actual fuck are you talking about you giant knob. How is the fix in against Cleveland? Lebron gets sneezed on and gets fouls in his favour. You do realize Toronto won 2 less games than the Cavs in the regular season and took 2/3 from them and neither team lost a home game? Don't be a jackass.
Toronto also didn't go to the line at all in the first half of game 4. Jesus Chris you're a twat. |
Was not expecting Golden State to be in this position.
|
Golden State has no energy. I think they can win game 5, but I'm not so sure about game 6.
I think Cleveland is fine though. |
Cleveland is fine. They just won't have a month to rest before the finals now.
|
Yeah I'm pretty sure (and this is before the shitkicking that is going on tonight) Cleveland will win. Not like Lebron hasn't given up 2 games in a row before and easily won the series before. I mean would love the Raptors to BAH GAWD shock the world but let's be realistic.
|
Goddamn, the Warriors are from another planet...
|
Hope Cleveland wins. All they do is shoot 3s
|
All about that Curry baby.

In terms of comparisons, it was around four times higher than Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals. |
The finals scheduling is brutal. 17 days to play 7 games possibly. 2 days off between each game, just play em back to back like in the regular season.
|
Welp, here's hoping the Cavs don't shit the bed again tonight in game two...

<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Biggest sign of the Cavs giving up was Lebron taking the 4th quarter off. Warriors just need 1 more win to break another NBA record for most wins in an entire season & playoffs. |
I am not saying it is going to happen, but if the Cavs get swept, it will be sad.

How the hell was this a competitive series last year with an injury-ridden lineup, but this year, a healthy team is getting their asses handed to them? Suffering continues. Might as well wheel Mark Price back out there. At least age and a bum wrist will be a viable excuse for the piss-poor shooting. |
Because Golden State's second unit could beat half the leagues starters. They can't be matched. Wayyyy to deep with starters playing as backups.
|
I don't care if Lebron is getting no help...Lebron put this team together, and he should deal with it and go win.
I'm tired of the cry for help people do for Lebron. |
Still struggling to comprehend how Draymond Green got away with hoofing Steven Adams in the nads twice without any reprimand, meanwhile Cleveland are getting absolutely twatcunted. Sort it out LeBron.
|
He has 2 all stars as help. Who is saying he has no help. They are insane.
|
CAVS TURNED IT UP A NOTCH
Curry looks mad withered, like it's all caught up with him and the hype has overcome him |
Well the Finals are pretty interesting.
Thought tonight was a good game even though it was never close. |
Game 7, GOT and WWE on the same night.
:eek: |
So word is the Knicks are interested in trading for Derrick Rose.
I'm on board with this if: A. Chicago comes out and says Derrick Rose is a lost cause. B. He gets bionic knees. So they never get injured again. And he plays 82 games a season. C. The price is right. |
Fuck Rose. Have fun with him.
|
Holy Shit Cleveland won
|
|
Well, what do you know? A Cleveland team didn't manage to fuck up a championship at the end AND ACTUALLY FUCKING WON!!!
The ghost of Mark Price is smiling down upon the world... and he ain't even dead! |
Fuck Cleveland for profiting from Toronto's pain. That's a title that Cleveland has no right to know about, earned or not.
To the NBA, they would probably fold the Raptors franchise as punishment for winning the NBA Title, just because Toronto's not an American city.. Take that trophy, shove it up your ass, and go off yourselves, Cleveland, cause no one needs you around for a fucking thing. Social fucktards, Cleveland is full of. > = ( |
ROASTED

Good riddance. Trade Butler too.
|
Three team deal between Pacers, Jazz and Hawks.
Jazz get George Hill Pacers get Jeff Teague Hawks get the Jazz 12th overall pick. |
Hill will be a nice addition to the Jazz. They desperately needed an outside shooter.
|
Did Chicago throw in the Bionic Knees for Derrick Rose that I wanted?
|
I can't wait until you see for yourself how he operates. Can't play because of "general soreness"....sounds legit. Then talks about how hes expecting a max deal when he's a free agent. Decides how many minutes he plays and what practices he goes to. All of which will be communicated through a litany of his entourage but nothing from him directly to the coaching staff. In NY, this has major shit show potential.
