2017 NBA FINALS THREAD. PART III

[DCAllAfrican]

Its the front office JOB to sign the best players. They dont have to worry bout pride & competitiveness like the players do

Dumb question Deepsea & you know it too

Is it DUMB or it is a different perspective?

Why shouldn't we hold others to the same standards when it comes to competitiveness and pride?

Why do we only judge athletes on that?

 

[antidope]

The second best player on the Cavs all playoffs has been Kevin Love. Yall gotta chill.

Because, we as people, are idiots.

He's a bum. Lebby carrying a bunch of scrubs like always.

 

[ballinsam23]

I'd pay to watch that Miami Heat team play this Warriors team.

 

[trueprada]

 Draymond called KD in Oracle Arena parking lot after Game 7 (per @ZachLowe_NBA)

 

[everysingletime]

KD is within his rights to sign with anyone he wants. Doesn't mean that he's not soft for choosing to sign with GS.

The front office is supposed to set to create the best team possible. It's their job.

 

[Mr.Guy]

Bron is close to Goat status just for bringing a ring to the land. Haters gone hate.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

How do y'all feel about the warriors really winning the next 5 championships? Will it deteer you guys from watching? It will be pretty lame for everyone if you are not a warriors fan

I am a basketball fan.

Them winning 5 in a row doesn't matter. I don't have any dogs in the race.

Them winning 5 in a row doesn't mean there won't be competitive basketball throughout the regular season.

Them winning 5 in a row doesn't mean there won't be great basketball to be seen throughout the regular season.

It just means the ending will be the same.

So nah, it doesn't matter to me

 

[Fresh Like Will]

I'm pretty sure Durant being black has nothing to do with why people don't like his decision

You CLEARLY missed my point.

CLEARLY

Why are we so quick to jump on the backs of the ATHLETES when it comes to "loyalty" to teams and their decisions in Free Agency when there are people with more power than them that make the decisions as well?

THAT is my point.

I don't blame KD for dipping on OKC. I don't think him and Russ were ever tight like that. They were up 3-1 to the Dubs and Russ wouldn't eem pass KD the ball when he was wide open.

Going to the Dubs though? Heeeell naaw. :x

 

[you go boy]

lets keep it real though... this warriors team is really good but not better than the 96 bulls... they won 72 games and won a chip so until the warriors do that then i cant say they are better than the bulls... and the defense is soft like terry cloth this era... they wouldnt be able to compete with the bulls with the physical defense back then...

Where should he have gone then?

That would have put him CLOSER to winning a ring? (Goal)

Different eras man.

No point in comparing.

the bulls wouldn't know what to with all them random threes flying from GS

What is the job of the player?

 

[QU!K]

 Draymond called KD in Oracle Arena parking lot after Game 7 (per @ZachLowe_NBA)

Game 7 after they beat OKC, or Game 7 after they lost the chip to Cavs

 

[Chopper]

When he said, "if I were an owner, I would sign EVERYBODY too"

Yep. 

Which interview?

Not be a *** and lose a 3-1 lead

 

[youngwolf]

Safe to say Kerr goes back to staggering Steph/KD to end the first and start the second tomorrow, right? 

 

[MVP]

If it's 90s rules or even early 2000s where you could steer players I'd go Chicago easy. But in this baby soft league now Scottie would foul out before halftime. So Dubs.

It would of been nice to see him be apart of creating another contender so we wouldn't get a predictable finals and get some more compelling, entertaining, and competitive games. Why even watch the regular season or even the playoffs now?

 

[Mr.Guy]

Bron gonna shock the world and come back from 3-0 to win a ring.

 

[air jsarg]

As contradictory as this sounds, i'm yet to find the right way to phrase it but here goes anyway

but Durant's move was fine in the sense that he wanted to win a ring, which is cool like do you and achieve what you want to achieve

but in the grand scheme of basketball it was a really easy way to get a ring and didn't require a lot of struggle to win, which is how the NBA has generally always been, big moments and tough moments that you must persevere through to win it all.

They faced little adversity this year if any at all and the stats can prove that quite easily.

 

[vidiviciun]

Can someone make a gif. of ZaZa hopping away after this MVP move.
