The draft lottery is so rigged, even Dikembe Mutombo knew the outcome early.

McLegend 05-17-2016 10:31 PM

And as long as it is rigged in the Sixers favor I'm ok with it.

Ruien 05-17-2016 10:31 PM

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.

Ruien 05-17-2016 10:32 PM

Sixers could get 5 more number 1 picks and still suck.

DaveWadding 05-17-2016 10:33 PM

Better the Sixers than the Lakers or the Celtics.

McLegend 05-17-2016 10:33 PM

That is a very good possibility.

Emperor Smeat 05-17-2016 10:59 PM

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!

Lock Jaw 05-22-2016 12:13 AM

I care zero about basketball but good for them winning.... I wish them well...

Evil Vito 05-23-2016 12:47 AM

Thunder get the win. Nice.

Evil Vito 05-23-2016 12:48 AM

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.

Bad News Gertner 05-23-2016 10:58 PM

Took 15 minutes for the Cavs to get called for a foul......

Bad News Gertner 05-24-2016 12:03 AM

Raptors win! Holy shit!

Emperor Smeat 05-24-2016 12:14 AM

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.

They also were only a game out of the first seed. Also played better against Conference teams than Cleve did.

Droford 05-24-2016 10:40 PM

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

SlickyTrickyDamon 05-24-2016 11:25 PM

Yikes OKC is spanking the Warriors.

Droford 05-24-2016 11:28 PM

Like I said

McLegend 05-24-2016 11:33 PM

I'm going to be be pissed if Steph Curry goes off and I fall asleep.

Triple A 05-25-2016 12:13 AM

damn @ OKC

Ruien 05-25-2016 12:15 AM

Fucking Thunder. Want Cleveland to lose forever but they will beat the Thunder.

Ol Dirty Dastard 05-25-2016 10:23 AM

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.

ClockShot 05-25-2016 11:28 AM

Was not expecting Golden State to be in this position.

McLegend 05-25-2016 07:37 PM

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.

Ruien 05-25-2016 07:54 PM

Cleveland is fine. They just won't have a month to rest before the finals now.

Ol Dirty Dastard 05-25-2016 10:52 PM

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.

owenbrown 05-31-2016 12:29 AM

Goddamn, the Warriors are from another planet...

Crimson 05-31-2016 09:48 PM

Hope Cleveland wins. All they do is shoot 3s

Ruien 05-31-2016 10:03 PM

All about that Curry baby.

The highly anticipated win or go home match up between Steph Curry's Warriors and Kevin Durant's Thunder was cable's most watched NBA telecast of all time. It was also the the most watched program in the history of TNT.

The post-game show was also the highest ever in TNT history.

In terms of comparisons, it was around four times higher than Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals.

Crimson 06-02-2016 01:07 AM

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.

Tom Guycott 06-05-2016 05:49 PM

Welp, here's hoping the Cavs don't shit the bed again tonight in game two...

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.

owenbrown 06-06-2016 01:14 AM

I am not saying it is going to happen, but if the Cavs get swept, it will be sad.

... well, I was KINDA right. They didn't shit the bed like game one. This was a whole new level of bed-shitting. It involved diarrhea and Exlax in the form of missed buckets and uncontested shots.

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.

Ruien 06-06-2016 04:06 PM

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.

McLegend 06-08-2016 05:39 PM

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.
