does the nba, and hype around the championship seem unusually quiet to anyone? I had this conversation yesterday with someone and it just feels like it quiet. Like, after the initial shock of cleveland winning, literally nobody outside of ohio gives a damn anymore. Like, people remembered, it's ohio and just said whatever. It's like the whole squad has disappeared outside of the party animal kyrie lol. I figured they'd shove bron in our faces all summer. but.nope..nothing. Steph had 4 new commercials out by now last year. League just waiting to suck them off during the season?

He wasn't on his nuts he was just saying how if you ask Lebron which team he'd want to face in the final it would be GSW or small ball.

W/ no big to clog the middle he can man handle the whole series.

Said in 13 games against GSW in the finals Lebron has averaged like 33/14/9/3/2 or some ****.
Said that is why GSW is forward thinking and changing their game according to Lacob, because it suits Lebron because nobody(including Dray) is half the man Physically.

Said GSW took a huge hit losing.
Said they've played and beat ONE good team in the Playoffs in the last 2 years and that was OKC who they were down 3-1 to.

The expectation around the NBA remains to be that free agents Al Horford, Nicolas Batum and Mike Conley will all receive five-year max contracts from the Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets and Memphis Grizzlies, respectively, after free agency opens Friday. The corresponding expectation, of course, is that if each of them do receive those offers, they’ll all remain with their current franchises.

I hope Thon didn't have sex with any of his "classmates" or "peers" the 2nd time around, after he dgraduated then magically became an 8th grader again.

And it seems quiet because the team you cheered for lost Freeze.
Every year it's quiet really.
When Spurs won 3 yrs ago though, I didn't even think they Celebrated it themselves

that could be it. but I just expected more fan fare. I was prepared for it. it's just underwhelming. I know its still lit in OH, but like I havent been seeing any new commercials or social media stuff. Social media is quiet.

 

[bballkid11]

So everyone will re-sign?

 

[silverbackhoney]

Why does Boogie have to become a free agent in 2018 and not next year?

Kangz are the worst team.

When do I look forward to them getting rid of Malachi? I don't want to have to root for them

 

[bballkid11]

Is there a starting spot for Rondo anywhere? I am trying to think?

Brooklyn? maybe...

who else?

Bruh you ain't lying.

 

[bhzmafia14]

Been trying to tell you guys that

I would suspect the Grizz to hold off a little bit on re-signing Conley just to sign other FA's as well. They could sign more or give more to a player under Conley's cap hold compared to his full contract.

The Currys getting fried has taken precedence over the Cavs winning also, with the most vocal people in the first place were the Lebron detractors, that's what happens.

As far as Rondo goes, waiting on old Rondo to show up feels like waiting on a good Eminem album today. May as well give it up

Makes sense. I agree on both accounts.

I think nobody really cared that bron was getting another ring and that it was more about cleveland getting one and once that hype died down and people remembered that it was ohio that they were cheering for, the enthusiasm dissipated like morning dew. The fans still can't say ****, and the haters have nothing to say, right now = silence.

The new show should be called 'Cooking the Currys' lmaooo.

MMLP2 was solid doggy

 

[slick vitale]

Yikes at the thought. The spacing on that team is bad enough.

Funny since his numbers last season weren't that different from his numbers in Boston. 

 

[bballkid11]

Rondo looked pretty good last season if you ask me.

 

[nick.]

Rondo's defense has been absolutely terrible since he tore his ACL.

Doesn't surprise me at all. Makes sense all things considered

Oh yeah but besides that every other facet of his game looked fine in Sac. Dude just didnt want to play in Dallas so he played like trash for one year.

Then he goes to Sac who no one cares about so even though he looks good again the "rondo washed" statements continue even though he was never actually washed and looks fine.
