I'm so conflicted!

I want okc to beat the warriors but I don't think they will beat the cavs....and I hate lebron!

 

[TwntyOneTwlv]

Someone got kicked in the dick

Some might say it was Adams
Other might say it was golden state

Dayyyyyum

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

My hatred for the GSW? I usually say nothing about them. I actually like them but I think they get a lot of superstar calls. Doesn't change how good they are for the most part. 95% of the time I'm here I talk about the Rockets. But sure label me as a hater.

Your posts in these playoffs seem to show otherwise, but I guess I'll take your word for it.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Winning 73 games but not winning the title would be

Curry and the dubs would get clowned so hard.

 

[Gully State]

Dray's nut kick both fired up OKC and castrated the rest of the W's....I'm not sure how they recover tonight..

-Dray lost his composure and it all culminated with his assault on Adam's nuts - that blown layup and the subsequent body language and frustration fouls. I get the impression that his looming suspension is in the back of his mind right now

- Rest of the team is discombulated- that last 5 minutes was a clusterfuck of rushed shots and bad execution

- I kinda see why Verajao is being played now. Ezeli is a bit of an offensive liability when it comes to ball movement and general execution. And when he isn't giving anything on defense, well at least Andy will move the ball.

- It's funny that Foster is both blowing calls and then ignoring Kerr when he's trying to intentionally get a technical.

If OKC beat the fucking Spurs and GSW they would be favored to beat the Cavs for sure.

Beating GSW would mean they are officially playing on another level.

 

[TSM]

Should Draymond get a suspension?

The Warriors would have been better off for Green to get a flagrant 2 since they are going down in flames this game. He's likely to be suspended for one game now.

Quality post hahaha

At this point would the technical fire up your team or just be a waste?

My sporadic posts about the Rockets when they were getting thumped by the GSW were giving out about the rockets. All I said about draymond is that he is an asshole. But cool.

 

[Basileus777]

After beating 67 and 73 win teams they would deserve to be the favorites. Though that's still an if.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Are Warriors really gonna shoot 26% from 3 for the game tho? I don't see it. If they do. Kerr might be sweatin bullets pretty soon here especially if Draymond gets the suspension.

 

[Cheebo]

32-7 in 8 minutes is eye opening

Spoiler

The 95-96 Bulls went 87-13

Eh. East was pretty awful that year outside of Bulls.

 

[Gully State]

I mean it happened prior to Draymond's nut kick....

 

[TwntyOneTwlv]

Lol droppin' dimes K Love followed by Kyrie folding laundry followed by Lebron driving a Kia.

 

[ViciousDS]

I know what you mean, but if Kerr goes for the arguing T again at the start of the half to try to get the refs leveled to what he wants for calls.

 

[Basileus777]

GS should be more worried about how awful their defense has been more than anything.

 

[Cheebo]

Yep. We have seen this Warriors team down 2-1 multiple times and win. Including the finals. Warrior fans don't need to panic just yet.

 

[M.W.]

Kerr needs to step aside and let Luke take over.

 

[neptunes]

Wait a sec, Draymond can still be suspended? Why?

 

[Gully State]

Defense first 2 games was fine ...Game 1 was lost on bad execution on the offensive side.

 

[eBay Huckster]

Someone got kicked in the dick

Some might say it was Adams
Other might say it was golden state

So basically, Draymond played the role of Dahntay Jones except this dick-kicking happened in the first half

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Wait a sec, Draymond can still be suspended? Why?

Apparently the situation is identical to a useless bench player doing the same with his elbow with clear intent.

 

[Basileus777]

Wait a sec, Draymond can still be suspended? Why?

League can review it after the game and upgrade it to a flagrant 2. But they probably won't.

 

[rambis]

Wait a sec, Draymond can still be suspended? Why?

Yes. Not likely though.

 

[ViciousDS]

Wait a sec, Draymond can still be suspended? Why?

Probably after game review. Some calls get looked at afterwards and can get updated to a higher call and even suspension. Some get upgrade from techs to flagrant 1.....flagrant 2's and so on.

 

[TwntyOneTwlv]

It was pretty fucking blatant tho dude

 

[TSM]

Wait a sec, Draymond can still be suspended? Why?

Well for one that was obviously a Flagrant 2 and the refs didn't want to call it. So there will be a "make up call" as usually happens by the NBA officials. Also if there isn't, nut kicking looks to be a viable option going forward.

 

[Gully State]

Did anyone else catch KD trying to dap Waiters after a layup only for Waiters to completely try to duck him?

 

[neptunes]

Didn't realize they could review after the fact

Apparently the situation is identical to a useless bench player doing the same with his elbow with clear intent.

You actually think that Kick was inadvertent?

It could have been, but Draymond flails his limbs when he gets fouled to exaggerate often. It's not as comparably to Jones as people seem to make it.

You're so transparent it's hilarious.

I can't believe what I'm reading.


So flailing is OK now even when it kills the safety of other players.

Alright then, nut shot away as long as the player normally flails folks. You heard it here.

 

[AcridMeat]

Hilarious is one word for it.

 

[eBay Huckster]

At this point I don't even care if Cleveland gets swept in the Finals as long as it's OKC doing it, just because we're gonna get peak BBB out of it

 

[thehypocrite]

The series is over, not just the game. The Cavs fans have already planned the parade schedule.

A gimmick taken too far. 😂😂😂😂

Are we arguing intent or inadvertent?

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Yeah you can't be out allowing Waiters dunks.

 

[ViciousDS]

He intently flails like an idiot.....therefore his actions should be taken into account of nailing another person's nuts. In what world do you need to swing your leg like your kicking a soccer ball in basketball to prove contact?


This shit is no different then swinging your legs out.

 

[Messi]

Lol good luck trying to be on that team if you have a problem with KD

 

[HeySeuss]

Just turned the game on. Holy shit. Does this mean Golden State is overrated and doesn't belong? Or just a testament to how great the west is?

Just wondering for consistencies sake since the Cavs are done because of last night's game.

 

[AcridMeat]

Stop. He swung his leg to kick Adams testicles with intent.

Trying to argue like this is another instance of playing up contact is just pointless. It's what they'll argue to not get him suspended.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

this is some kinda asswhoopin so far.

 

[Shmeagatory94]

Not a foul on Adams holy shit

 

[Basileus777]

Are we arguing intent or inadvertent?

Intent doesn't actually matter, you can get a flagrant 2 even without intent if it is excessive and unnecessary contact.

 

[StudioTan]

Just tuned in to the game, holy crap. What is happening to GS??

 

[Eos]

Did anyone else catch KD trying to dap Waiters after a layup only for Waiters to completely try to duck him?

Yeah, they were just joking around

 

[RellyRell28]

I'm just pointing out that the knock on last years GSW team was that they lucked out in who they faced en route to the title. Plus the Cleveland team was injury depleted. That's all I'm saying
