The Lakers deal would of put the Hornets/Pelicans into late lottery hell. I still think it was a terrible deal.
The Clippers deal wasn't great, but Aminu is a solid player the Pels gave up on too early and Eric Gordon is broken from injuries and it is on Demps for doubling down and maxing him in spite of his injuries, poor attitude and immaturity.
Dell Demps has been a short sighted, short term thinking GM since he came on board and has continued to fail upwards in the new organization and the culmination of incompetence is the largest reason for why I am more and more certain this team will be in Seattle within the next 10 years.

He only looks like that because he has more visible muscle definition after dropping the bulk he accumulated in Miami to improve his post game. That said, fluctuations in weight in either direction, whether bulking or slimming, can absolutely throw off a player's jump shot as it affects arm strength, leg strength, weight distribution, and vertical lift, not to mention just the general "feel" of a player's stance and shooting motion.

Kyrie for CP3 is pretty fair if you ask me but now won't happen since he dropped 41
Had they lost game 5 he'd be gone with delly

Listening to the other side of sports talk radio is pretty funny. Right now I'm listening to KNBR 680 in Oakland? Pretty funny. They are focused on LeBron allegedly lying about watching the Godfather. All I've heard them talk about in 50 minutes now. My god, I thought CLE sports radio was bad.

I just wanted to hear what the enemy locals were saying.
Lmao. That's hilarious. I'm guessing it was the Murph & Mac show.
It's one of those sports shows that aren't really about sports past surface level stuff. It's not very good.

KNBR has been terrible for a long time now. Especially the Radnich show.
KGMZ isn't great, but it's a much better alternative in comparison.

Local sports radio is stupid but I believe that LeBron has never seen the Godfather

I might be late on this
Zach Lowe on his Lowe Post podcast
"The Cavs wanted him suspended for two games. I can tell you that. They wanted it to be a flagrant 2 and to have him suspended for Game 5 and Game 6."
a grand smh

I haven't seen anyone talk about this really. I wonder how he'll play tonight after the 6 day rest.
And I agree with the schedule criticism it just seems way too long between games.
Anyone goin to Oracle tonight for the Viewing Party? Went to the WCF game 6 and that place was going crazy. I expect Roaracle to be rockin tonight.
if you can't beat em..

Just caught up on Godfathergate. lol
It is hard sometimes to come up with a favorite quote when someone puts you on the spot like that. Especially for someone in the public eye who has to be careful of what he says -- using certain lines from something like The Godfather trilogy could easily offend people today. Imagine Bron being like, "let me tell you something, my kraut-mick friend!"
Having said that, I bet he's seen some Godfather but isn't really all that up on it.

I am! I was going to watch from a bar in the city but figured that would be a nightmare with all the crowds. Can't wait! And I'm going to wear my Pacers hat because I'm not actually a Warriors fan (I just really like this team...).

Can you watch a movie six times in a week and not know any lines offhand? Maybe LeBron should have gotten that college education after all...

I've seen all 3 movies, the first one more than once, and I couldn't quote you one line verbatim. Something something on the day of my daughter's wedding.

Make him an offer he can't refuse..
Honestly going on a 50 minute rant about Lebron seeing or not seeing The Godfather is ridiculous. It was quirky when it first surfaced but now it's just dumb. I think this is just a byproduct of the extra time between games. People are just running out of shit to talk about between Cavs and Warriors.

Murph & Mac and Gary & Larry are terrible. The former is just homerism circle jerk while bizarrely Gary seems to hate Bay Area sports. But he's from SoCal, so... The best time slot is Tommy Tolbert. Dude knows his stuff as a former player and gives objective analysis. The downside is when he shares airtime with Ray Ratto. That guy is so irritating.
Edit: Murph & Mac are much better for baseball though. That's really Murph's sport. It's obvious they're not really into basketball.

"I will extend an offer he can't turn down"
But the whole thing is stupid, no matter what LeBron said he'd get shit for it.

Wow not surprised. They know they can't win the series.
:lol
Translation. Cavs could not beat the Warriors on the court so they wanted to just be handed the trophy because.
What a bunch of bitches.
I was impartial before the series and was looking forward to a great finals but the Warriors are clearly the better team and I want them to embarrass the Cavs and send Cleveland into another 10 years of depression now (meaning an even deeper level of depression).

Do people forget that quickly that they just recently beat the Warriors by 30 with Draymond Green not suspended?

"I'll make him an offer he can't refuse." Is that a Godfather quote? Seems appropriate for a player-GM like LeBron.
Just about every local sports show is terrible. As a 49er fan living in the Bay Area, I don't understand why anyone would want to listen to people talk about one team all the time. It's been years since I bothered flipped on the radio to hear their thoughts on my lousy team. It's just a bunch of dudes with extremely limited knowledge searching for anything to fill the four-hour time slot.
Of course not. The NBA is much simpler sometimes than people give it credit for. If you're team has the two best scorers in the series, you can win any game. That's it. That's the formula. That's why I'm terrified about tonight's game.

1 win out of 4 with Green, one of which was also a huge blowout for the Warriors.
Spin away though bro.

Yeah it was Murph and Mac. I just wanted to hear some local fans call in and talk shit.
Our locals aren't much better. As someone else said anyway, after 3 days of waiting there isn't much relevant to say. Until people start busting out Zach Lowe and unidentified sources!

I didn't know Draymond's sports agent is BJ Armstrong....That's interesting.

I don't think there's a team in the league that wouldn't try and get Draymond suspended for another game.

Yeah that's some bullshit. A flag-2 for a swipe LeBron wasn't even aware of until it was shown to him after the game. Says they want a rematch fully healthy against GSW but then hope GSW have to play without their most important player in the matchup. But I guess a chip with an * is better than no chip at all. The controversy would fade with time, but championships are forever.
That is true but let the scrubs do that work.
It is arbitrary and possibly dumb of me to think this way, but that shit is below a superstar like Lebron. Thats what guys like Varejao are in the league for. To cheat and do shady shit because they can't get it done on the court.
That's why Robert Horry slammed Steve Nash into the sideboards. Can you imagine if Duncan did that?

So should there be an asterisk on golden states last year due to the cavs injuries ?

The non-nutshot got as much attention as it did because it was LeBron. If it were some bench scrub, chances are Green isn't suspended for game 5.
George Claw M.D.

There is. Have you not paid attention to any media since the moment GSW won the championship? No one gave them credit and they've been playing with a chip on their shoulders the entire season. This year is supposed to be their chance to prove they weren't just lucky playing injured teams last year.

There already is one. According to media/certain players and coaches/haters., the Warriors were essentially handed the ring last year.

Nah I don't get caught up in any of that media bs . Warriors beat the cavs with or without their players. Great teams plan for injuries and have players waiting on the bench.
