2017 NBA FINALS THREAD. PART III

[Hank Scorpio]

Same here man. I don't care who wins it. It'll be retribution for either. People been trying to pit them against each other all year long...and they both show the **** out in the finals looking like one of the greatest duos ever.

This is beautiful man. This is basketball. A entire team playing at a high level not worrying or caring about shots, points, who does what, etc. 

Which leads to me think, when will they fall? It almost seems Spurs-esque.

If KB does win finals MVP I hope it come with a brush 'ol delmonte looking ***

Word, I agree.  And I am not a Warriors fan or anything like that.

Odd that someone brought KG up as a tough guy counterpoint to LeBron.  Don't you know KG was the ultimate fake tough guy?

It'll be interesting to see how they manage their bench moving forward. It's very likely Iggy and Livingston might not be able to stay on board. 

All of their main guys are in their primes right now. Steph being the oldest at 29. Provided they can stay healthy and they can keep a solid 8 man rotation and the youngins like McCaw, Jones, Looney keep developing....sky is the limit. 

 

[everysingletime]

The Spurs was hit by age and injuries weren't they?

I think whenever Dubs lose Iggy to retirement that would be a big loss.

Roles players can ALWAYS be replaced. It's the core guys that you have to worry about.

Injuries hurt them, but they never had 4 players with so much talent.

This Warriors team is far more talented than any SAS teams. But to have that sort of talent from your core, and all adopting a team-first mentality? This team can be 4-5 championships barring any major injuries.

"I was tired, but that's just because I was just playing as hard as I could," James said. "I gave everything that I had. ... I left it out on the floor."

Yesterday morning:

"Do I look tired, I'm averaging a triple double " -also LeBron James

Dude is legit annoying as hell man.

Cavs won by the teeth of a final few seconds in a seven gamer, if OKC had more injury luck than GS and made it in place of them then who knows... Washed may be going to far

BY the teeth? The teeth? Are you kidding me? This is the "greatest team of all time, 73-9" and you are telling me GS couldn't win 1 game to complete the story? Your telling me a team came back 3-1 by The teeth? [emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji]
Warriors got washed in the 4th qt, in game 5 in their own home. Got annihilated in game 6, Cavs made them look foolish. And in game 7, of it wasn't for the Cavs leaving Green open to make sure Klay and Curry didn't go off, the Cavs would have blown the Warriors out that game. It's the first team to 4 games with no excuses. Curry let Bron take his heart. Kyrie had Curry skating all over the arena. The Cavs figured the Warriors out and out played them for the rest of the series. And that's why they won.

You all try to sit here and make up so many excuses. Draymond played in game 6 and was a no show and you guys said he was scared to do anything because of getting suspended. [emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji] that's the wrong thing to worry about while your team is blowing a 3-1 lead.

Warriors were frauds last year and are still the same frauds this year. Love that the took that HUGE L!
OKC would have got it worse 4-1 easy.

Lebron "I don't check my stats" James

Well, since we're here

"I ALWAYS bring TOUGHNESS to the game"

Cue the flop compilation.

Spoiler: I'm not tired

 

[Benny Hinn]

Great. Thread has turned into Dubs fans slurping each other.

Thank you BA KD. Wanted them to go ghost like they did last summer or like they've done for the past 3 years with their "9er Faithful"

 

[akajae]

finally a funny one

 

[captaintuxable]

Lebron is better than magic at damn near everything

Except 5 rings.

 

[100027]

I wonder if the era of superstars being ridiculous flopping ****es will end when LeBron, Wade, and CP3 retire.  I never see Steph flopping or whining for call.  I guess Harden's pretty bad but Russ, Kawhi, they're all good.

 

[P C H]

Steph flops A LOT on his shot

 

[green rhino123]

Lookin like he gonna take the ball and run home with it.




Did Cleveland forfeit game 4 yet or are they going to play?

[Kaleo15]

I'm not gonna go back 100 pages.... by what being said between Curry and Shump?

Who picked Dubs in 3.75??

Could have added value to the 'Island Rat' episode of Martin no doubt.

 

[aquatic barefoot]

If only @BLASTERCOMBO  were here to make sense of this...

 

[bronconation24]

Best team of all time . Y'all in the feels

 

[100027]

Alright, maybe I should have said whining.  He does do the Harden-esque 3 flop move.  Was thinking of the Bron/Wade extremes, but you're right.

What? You never see Steph flop? Steph flops too and whines just as much as any other superstar throwing his hands up at the refs when he doesn't get a call. They all do that at the slightest feel of contact. That and that unnecessary head motion faking contact.

Leonard is probably the only legit one who doesn't do that mess.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Harden is an AWFUL flopper. This flopping culture NEEDS to stop. Like for real.
