reading this thread from before the rockets game to after is hilarious. the narrative switch around the 3rd quarter where yall start to blame kerr was fun. cp3 played solid defense in the second half and helped spark the run the rockets went on to win the game. he's on the bench to end the game because he's hurt, and people saying he's useless and what not. same people screaming when the warriors sub curry out for key defensive positions that "the warriors have better defensive lineups!!!" then the "look at houston celebrating like they won a championship", like golden state didn't just go nuts when they thought they had the game winner.

never change NT.

This could've been said in two sentences

The Cavs and Warriors played similar games yesterday. Both had big leads that they blew. The difference was LeBron played like an MVP down the stretch and Curry played like s***.

Steph scored 9 straight points in the clutch and played good D on the Harden switches Fam misses the game winner tho so he played like ****

How the game ended

 

[VARNELL HILL]

That's not quite what Adam Silver said. If he did...it would have been a much bigger story as he'd essentially be saying "we're about to **** on the NCAA".

“It’s clearly not working for the college game,” Silver said. Second is the increase in one-and-done players declaring for the draft. There were 16 last year. Silver said the average had been about eight per year. And finally, it appears more top recruits don’t care about where they go to college and are just biding their time until draft night. This may be most concerning to the NBA because it impacts the league directly.

“What’s really interesting to me is the last two No. 1 picks in the NBA draft, Ben Simmons two years ago and Markelle Fultz last year, both played with teams that did not make the NCAA tournament [LSU and Washington, respectively],” Silver said. “And I don’t think enough people are talking about that. That seems to be a sea change.

“It’s become common knowledge that these so-called one-and-done players, maybe understandably, are almost entirely focused on where they are going to go in the draft lottery. Not to say they don’t badly care about winning but … the stakes are so high in terms of the amount of money they can make over a long NBA career.”

“From our standpoint, if the players in that one year of college aren’t getting the kind of development we’d like to see them get coming into the NBA, aren’t playing in the NCAA tournament, aren’t competing against top-notch competition, I think we have to take a step back and figure out whether we are better off taking those players at a younger age and working on their training and development full time,” Silver said.
