  1. Curry was non-existent last game. Even when Durant sucked the first game his stat-line was great, and tonight he's there when they need him, they just don't. This is going to look like the Celtics game 7 where Boston bricked 3s trying to stay in the game, only this time it will be Cleveland.
  2. Why useless against Houston? The Warriors often had a much smaller person trying to box out Capela, often failing at it. I thought it would be worth a shot to tell him go in there, run your asthmatic ass off, give us a few minutes of interior D and rebounding, because they often had none. If he can switch out on Lebron and play D, or block a JR Smith 3, I think he would have been ok switching in the Houston series.
  3. The big risk for GSW not closing this out tonight is Draymond doing Draymond stuff and getting suspended for a game or two and suddenly it's game 7.
  4. I gotta give Rasheed a pass for gifting us with "Ball don't lie"
  5. Yes Lebron is having a bad game, even with whatever his crazy stat line is, because he's shown he's capable of having the game Durant is having.
  6. My bad GSW fans. Laughing at Mark Jackson hyping Rodney Hood seems to have ignited him.
  7. Curry is the best shooter of all time, the range he has is ridiculous. Buuuut, when he's off, it's so ugly. Just keep your mouthpiece in your mouth, and get the ball to KD.
  8. Did Durant leaving OKC somehow lower the number of fat cholas in DFW? Why else would Vic harbor such hatred?
  9. Dammit Doris, get in their and tell us what Curry is puking up. Was it the tuna roll?
  10. Lebron with Curry on him. Passes, ball goes around Love throws up last second three, fast break the other way, 3 for Thompson. Plenty of time for Lebron to throw Curry out of the way with a forearm and drive to the basket, then make the pass. Next posession. Lebron with Curry on him, passes out of it, nothing, no points. Just not what you should do with a much smaller shittier defender.
  11. Lol at Mark Jackson sucking Rodney Hoods dick all this series and even against the Celtics. Proven scorer, can get his own shot. Yeah he just chooses not to because he knows he's trash.
  12. The Warriors have the shittiest hands when it comes to grabbing a rebound. It doesn't even have to be slapped out of their hands, they just butterfinger it their own damn selves.
  13. I think on these ebay sitewide ones ebay eats it not the sellers. They will still be out the fees to ebay and paypal though, but still you're better buying today with 20% off. $500 item you pay $400. They lose probably 6% or more on fees and on the full $500 so $30, but they not going to sell it to you local for $400.
  14. A few points. People love to compare Jordan with an absolute trash lineup in his first year or two of playoffs, going against the fucking 1980s' Boston Celtics, and Detroit Bad Boys, both multiple championship winning legendary teams, to Lebron shitting the bed in a finals well into his career. WTF. Jordan retired the 2nd time with 6 championships a year from now in Lebron age. He was still high flying, levitating, spinning, gravity defying. Maybe he lost a smidge but it didn't show. Who else has done that? Vince Carter was washed up long ago athletically. Kobe maybe, but he was never as skilled with his athleticism. You just don't see guys with Jordans explosive athleticism sustain it for as long. Now when he came back the last time with the Wizards it was gone and he was down to just above average NBA player. I also don't think people realize how hard it is to retire, go off and play another sport, and then come ALL THE WAY back to the top of the game. Not just pretty, good, not one of the best, but undeniably the best player. That stat about #1 draft picks played with, wtf. How about all time NBA top 50 teammates? Jordan had Pippen every year. Lebron had Dwayne Wade. Maybe Kyrie gets there but not yet. How about all time top 50s you played against in the finals. Jordan played finals against Magic, Worthy(some dropping him from newer top 50 list), Barkley, Drexler, Stockton, Malone, and Payton. Lebron played finals against, Dirk, Curry, Durant, Duncan. (Probably can add Westbrook and Harden to top 50, Westbrook especially) Lebron has got screwed on several MVP votes. It's sorta his fault, not because he makes it look easy, but because like this year, Cleveland looked like dog shit most of the year. That's on him, but he also has to save something to get through the playoffs, so he can't go out and do 40/10/7 all season, lead Cleveland to a #1 seed and have anything left. Like someone else said, Jordans game was aesthetically better. When a 6'6" guard blows past another guard, gets inside and either just dunks right over a 7 footer, or flies, hangs, hangs, hangs, everyone else drops, hangs, and gets the shot off, it's beautiful. Or when a 6'6" guy gets a big on him in a switch and he backs them down then hits the smooth turn around over them, it is beautiful. When a 6'8" guy throws a smaller player out of the way with a forearm that would be a foul call against most of the league,, then goes in and runs over a guy slightly bigger than him, it's not as pretty even if both get you two points. I do give Lebron credit, he is so tough to stop once he gets going on a drive, and he has developed some crazy angles he can hit shots from near the rim. I really thought in the 2016 finals he looked done. He had lost a step, his jumper sucked so people could play off him. And he turned it around that series. And since then has looked better than ever. Finally Lebron often doesn't carry himself like a champion. Yes you can find footage of Bird, Magic, Jordan protesting a call, but you don't see them walking all over refusing to give up the ball, looking like they are about to cry, running at the refs, hands out, are you crazy, etc. every friggen play, and jawing with the refs the whole game. Partly that's on the refs. If you had tried that shit in the 80s and 90s you would have been teed up and you would learn to STFU and show respect. Still, Bird Magic Jordan carried themselves like champions. They just got madder and madder, and fuck you I'm going to beat your team, your crowd, the refs, and whatever else you got. Lebron has been around forever, and he still acts fucking shocked that Curry is gonna get a call at home. He has a lot of Draymonds bitchassedness about him, just with a helluva lot more skill and history to back it up.
  15. https://www.reddit.com/r/warriors/comments/42b5ne/what_exactly_is_mark_jackson_accused_suspected_of/ "Told the team that Harrison Barnes was possessed by a demon, which is why he regressed" LULZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  16. Lulz at this guy thinking Lebron didn't have any say in who got the top job.
  17. I will say that is more on Lue than Lebron, how do you not get the timeout called. But since Lue is Lebrons hand picked guy, it still makes me laugh.
  18. Dude STFU, you are so totally full of shit. The not GOAT spent the first 4 seconds of the 4.7 seconds trying to get J.R. to pass him the ball, then he kinda sorta made a signal with less than a second left, sorta. The "he wanted a time out" was just the announcers protecting him, not reality. (The real GOAT got absolutely fellated by Bob Costas and Ahmad Rashad, so that part is not new.)
  19. Ummm, even if no timeouts he can call a timeout and it will be rewarded. http://www.nba.com/analysis/rules_12.html
  20. Tell me again about the GOAT with the incredible basketball IQ.
  21. I've been lulling at Swaggy P standing around waiting for Curry to throw it to him on a wing, and instead Curry taking any shot he can get. Durant foolishly gave swaggy a couple of tries and his assist count did not grow lol.
  22. I would say Dwayne Wade was better than Lebron in the Dallas series. 26.5 vs 17.8, Lebron 7.2 Reb, Wade 7, Lebron had an extra assist. I would also say Kyrie was Lebrons equal in 2016. There was plenty of time when Bron was cold, where the Warriors could not keep even two guys in front of Kyrie. Also plenty of times when Kyrie was clanging 3s that Lebron took over. To my eye, early in his career Lebron was not super enthusiastic to be the guy with the ball with time winding down, just didn't have that self confidence. I think he does now, and yeah he should have passed it to Hill. I don't think Jordan, Bird, Magic suffered that lack of confidence even early on. Kobe didn't either, but he should have because he was not as good as he thought he was for a season or two, especially his jumper.
  23. Your mom thinks I'm plenty well hung already. Thanks though.
  24. It's good but it's not great when you lose a bunch of them, and are not even the best player on your team in some of them. Lulz at Bron gonna have many more finals and wins. Not likely if he stays at Cleveland. Does Philly with Bron beat Celtics with Kyrie, Hayward and Stevens? That's no sure thing in my mind and then you still have to beat GSW. I don't think Bron, Paul George and lil Ball, could beat the Warriors or Houston. Lebron added to Houston will mean the western conference final will be the championship. You still have to hope Chris Pauls hammy doesn't act up, and it still will be down to which team can get hot from 3 for 4 games.
