2017 NBA FINALS THREAD. PART III

[chrisftdot]

It's disrespectful to the league and the sport to have KD join such a stacked team.

But at the same time we're kinda fortunate to be witnessing what could be the greatest team to ever play in the NBA.

Paul George and Russell Westbrook aren't beating the warriors man lol if that is where you were going with that.

After Klay leaves, they will. Just as BBB and BI coming into their primes. Just wait on it. 

BBB will be in Philly tho [emoji]129300[/emoji]

Looking forward though, LeBron needs to opt out, and leave Cleveland.

If he's really serious about beating GSW, he needs to go to San Antonio.

This! And LeBron + Kawhi wouldn't be enough, CP3 would be needed as well.

He brought the Cavs the championship. Doesn't owe them anything anymore, not that he did to begin with.

 

[dman14]

just wait til LBJ teams up with LBJ Jr

kid already has better fundamentals than pops

 

[john2st]

if gst doesn't blow that series last year and they win 4-1 or even 4-2. and the cavs get swept this year, does lebron leave the land? serious question

at all you guys who are suggesting the NBA needs to dismantle the current rosters of NBA teams.

You guys would've had a heart attack if you were around the 60's Lakers and Celtics, 70's-80's Celtics and Lakers, 90's Bulls and 00's Lakers. The NBA has ALWAYS been like this. There has ALWAYS been 1-2 dominate teams which made it to the NBA Finals and won it almost every year.


Hell, out of the 70+ years the NBA has been around, theres only may 15 teams who owns all the championships. It's just how basketball is. You guys are just butt just to appreciate an All-time great team. I suggest y'all let go of those hard feeling and experience this once in a generation team play. We may never see something like this game for a very long time.

I'd appreciate and respect it more if it was just Steph, Klay, and Draymond.

 

[jumpmanpro97]

Cavs aren't even sniffing a win unless one of the warriors gets injured.

 

[Mr Dink]

David Stern wouldn't have let KD join the Warriors. :x

There's nothing Stern would be able to do to stop KD from joining the Warriors. Only reason he was able to stop Chris Paul was cuz the Hornets at the time were owned by the NBA.

too picky picky

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Ok, but that's not happening. When are we ever going to see a team this dominate on BOTH ends of the floor playing at such a high level?

Too many caveats with NT :roll eyes

You guys can complain and bellyache all you want, but 10-20 years down from now, they'll be saying how legendary this team is. And you'll remember how sour you guys were to not appreciate it properly.

 

[chrisftdot]

Lol, Lebron asked for a "Blow out"

 

[thapointguy]

When them curry 4s drop tho [emoji]128064[/emoji]

Probably come in a pack with the white/gold 3zero. We'll find out with 2 more wins

You go back and and look at those lakers teams in the early 00s. Team was horrible outside of Kobe and shaq

Lebron is stuck. There's no one left in the league for him to form a super team with aside from maybe Giannis.

Lonzo, Embiid, & Saric running the floor together?

I'm here for this

 

[john2st]

klay dad did an interview on philly sports talk and everyone is praying klay comes here through trade or FA. and dude asked klay dad. and he said "why would my son leave basketball heaven". then proceeded to say that he has never been happier and has never thought of wanting out. also said he wants to play there his whole career. clearly most of those are generic answers. but his dad basically laughed at the host.

 

[chrisftdot]

man steph averagin 30,10,8 and isnt even the frontruner for finals mvp

He's guarding spot up shooters like Shump, Korver and JR

 

[Lovetohate3000]

in this thread right now 

*they dont win how i want them to win so they are cheating. 

either way they aint won nothing yet . two games doesnt make a series. if cavs come back and win im going to laugh at yall. 

 

[Hank Scorpio]

OK and LeBron is guarding Iggy, West, and Barnes on his end

 

[junglejim]

Well in all fairness, nobody is trying to guard shump. Giving that man the Barnes treatment

kobe and shaq were the best 1 2 punch ever tho....

And the center position was beyond horrible all throughout the league, leaving Shaq to be like a kid in a candy store those years.

Which is how it's supposed to be, especially back then with a smaller cap. At the end of the day, depth will always be an issue for teams with multiple max level players.

Fact of the matter is, the warriors got lucky by 1) Steph's ankles for his deal and 2) The Cap spike coinciding with KD being a FA
