fucking hell man

 

[Miracle]

Why is Curry still playing? Lol

 

[Tom Penny]

fatigue.. you can tell.

He was playing more minutes while blowing out teams in meaningless moments throughout the playoffs..

 

[x-Lundz-x]

The last thing Dirk needs to do before he retires is to beat GS as the 8th seed. That would be delicious,

Yes please

 

[Frozenprince]

If Durant were not in this series it would be a lot closer.

But it's still these two teams. So if you're not already a warriors or a Cavs fan, is anything really different other than it probably being more competitive?

 

[Elfforkusu]

Okay, KD stays in OKC or goes east.

Then what? Nothing changes. Great, maybe one other team contends. Maybe.

That's still barely any significant change. These are still the two best teams.

There's no magic fix. This is the league. Just ain't enough talent to compete against these guys.

Agreed, it's not just KD. It's the whole individual salary cap nonsense + basketball being a top heavy sport in general.

The association will either figure it out and make some changes for the sake of parity, or ride the superteam train until ratings and attendance begin to spiral down the drain and "who could have seen that this would happen OH NO!?!?!"

Depends if they want to be proactive or reactive.

 

[friskykillface]

Curry just got thrown to the ground
Kerr you dummy

Fyre shook too

 

[FZZ]

I am salt incarnate

 

[Danthrax]

I think they are all 2 days breaks except for 3 to 4 which is 1 day.

NBA doesn't want to stay in Cleveland any longer than it has to, apparenty

 

[sooperkool]

If people don't recognize Dr. J they can GTFO.

You don't recognize the Dr, then you have no right to speak on Bball.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Has there ever been a Quadruple-Double in playoffs?

I think Quintuple-Double is impossible right?

 

[Miracle]

Kyrie and TT: Trash

Kyrie actually bounced back in the 2nd half.

Lebron has done nothing however. Must have gassed out. Or had a cramp or something...

 

[metalslimer]

Why is Curry still playing? Lol

Pad his stats for finals MVP

 

[Nafai1123]

I like how klay had no emotion in the wnba commercial

Yet dude sounded in fucking orgasmic bliss for chocolate milk

Nothing goes better with toast than chocolate milk.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Kerr going for the Belichick start to finish beat down? Take them fools out the game.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

I am salt incarnate

I thought you were a fellow Laker fan.

Why are you salt, over this?

 

[kaiju]

Your team sucks and I can't wait after your current roster ages and they fade back into irrelevance and Lakers are successful for another 40 years

Oh and half your bandwagoner base is gone as well

 

[Kwhit10]

But it's still these two teams. So if you're not already a warriors or a Cavs fan, is anything really different other than it probably being more competitive?

I think everyone who isn't a fan of these two teams would rather see a competitive series instead of blowouts.

 

[rambis]

But it's still these two teams. So if you're not already a warriors or a Cavs fan, is anything really different other than it probably being more competitive?

Yeah so go from 2 teams who can compete to just 1.

No problem at all.

 

[beat]

Durant already said he'll take less money to keep the team together. Something people kill CP3 about but say it's cool if Durant does it.

This offseason, KD's probably giving up about a bit under $4M. Will still get $32M.

David West gave up over $11M. He's only getting the veteran's minimum this year.

 

[Duxxy3]

It would be a repeat of last year's finals. Which were terrific.

 

[LyleLanley]

People seriously complaining about watching epic match up in the finals?

Lol....go away clowns. Hang your head on playing basketball back when you were in elementary school.

What the fuck is this supposed to even mean?

Durant already said he'll take less money to keep the team together. Something people kill CP3 about but say it's cool if Durant does it.

Durant isn't the president of the players association.

 

[GravityInsanity]

 

[Tragicomedy]

Warriors are so good that they can play like garbage and still beat everyone in the league. They can be down 15 and take the lead five minutes later.

Then they can play like tonight. You might as well bench all your starters and hope for the next game to be closer.

 

[DataStream]

Durant already said he'll take less money to keep the team together. Something people kill CP3 about but say it's cool if Durant does it.

I'm relatively sure Klay would too given his level of chill. Why worry about money when you are already rich and can have a legacy.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Deron Williams has been trash lol
Delly has heart, and DWill doesn't

 

[neptunes]

Kyrie actually bounced back in the 2nd half.

Lebron has done nothing however. Must have gassed out. Or had a cramp or something...

Kyrie has NOT been playing up to his own standards these whole finals

 

[friskykillface]

Everyone on the court except for Jones will be cut
Fyre will be traded

 

[FZZ]

I thought you were a fellow Laker fan.

Why are you salt, over this?

I hate the Warriors

half there fans are bandwagoners who abandoned Lakers once we became ass

Most artificial fanbase in the league

I want Lonzo Ball already

 

[PR_rambo]

I'm guessing it's tough for people to watch LeBron get shitted on, they idolize him. How was it cool though for him to do this with his supersquads to the east? That wasn't boring? Nah it was cool because it was Bron Bron doing the thrashing.

Now suddenly KDs a bitch for chasing his ring, and the NBA needs to step in. Only NOW is it a problem. EL OH EL.

 

[Emarv]

Bernie Sanders: "We need to break up the Warriors!"

 

[Fjordson]

So much salt, I love it.

Series far from over tho

 

[overcast]

I don't know about you guys. But I enjoy a dominant team to a degree. However the warriors are far from the most dominant super team in NBA history.

If they got 16-0 though?

 

[metalslimer]

I'm glad David West will finally be a champion.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

These bums not gonna get the 130?

 

[PhantomZone]

LeBron eating a lot of humble pie this series.

 

[Frozenprince]

If they got 16-0 though?

Speaks more to the weakness of the west than anything.

 

[LyleLanley]

I'm relatively sure Klay would too given his level of chill. Why worry about money when you are already rich and can have a legacy.

Because you should always take as much money as you can, especially if you've already won rings.

It's cool because he is the king. It's​ not fair when the West answers in spade.

?
Golden St./OKC would be a coin flip and they would have to go through the Spurs and Rockets in the second round just to get to that point. The East still sucks, but the KD move turned the entire NBA playoffs into the Eastern Conference playoffs.

 

[Gorillaz]

Cavs still have dellys number right

Lol I need a gif of bron face on the bench sunhi

 

[phanphare]

These bums not gonna get the 130?

there it is

 

[m_shortpants]

That 3rd quarter is a killer

 

[Fuzzery]

If the cavs were free to pick any players they wanted from outside the warriors, could they win?

 

[VeeP]

These bums not gonna get the 130?

132 instead 👀

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

There it goes.

 

[Draconian]

If they got 16-0 though?

This is already tainted because of what they did to Kawhi, so no.

 

[The Chosen One]

 

[friskykillface]

FIGHT!

I don't really give a shit about the warriors

Back as a freshmen in college (2008) my best friend would make me watches these college games for a school I had never heard of to see this baby face kid shoot like crazy. He made me a steph curry fan so I've always enjoyed watching him play. Part of me would rather see curry be the star of the dubs to win finals mvp.
