I mean, Draymond green was all NBA first team defense. Iggy was as well last year.

"nobody" might be a bit of a reach.
 
NBC Sports is obscure?

Compared to tnt and espn/abc yes it is. Can I stream the channel on a gaming system?

Sounds like you're salty at the warriors. It's not your fault.

It's not your fault!

lebron will do some dumb shit at times, but nobody can really guard him except the spurs. you think draymond green is going to be able to stop this dude in the finals after what happened last year? cmon lol

and i don't even rock with lebron like that

the spurs stopped him? he averaged almost 30 points last year on 57% shooting. no one can stop lebron and i dont think the warriors have to stop him. if the warriors get anywhere near the amount of open looks the hawks got (and missed) the series will be over in 4 games.

with that said, i think it would be pretty cool for lebron to bring a championship to cleveland. i'm rooting for the warriors but i wouldn't be super bummed if the cavs won. i just thank god its not the rockets/hawks since i doubt i would watch any of it.

If you wanna say lebron is unguardable, thats another story. which i dont agree with but i understand. But you said "the warriors have nobody to guard him", as if thats a fatal flaw they have that other teams dont share. Relatively speaking, i think they are set up better than most teams with those two guys on the floor.

Also, i dont know if you've noticed, but Steph Curry is every bit as unguardable as Lebron at the moment. And Shumpert is the only guard the cavs have that plays above average D
 
I really don't think iso-ball with lebron is going to work when the other team is dropping 20 3's a game.

it wont but they haven't been doing that except for the game before last. MOST of the series was lebron driving, drawing double teams, and kicking out to open guys who were knocking down shots.

in game 3 though it was old school lebron with 38 points on 38 shots or something. they will lose any of those types of games he has against the warriors

Why do you keep saying unarguable?

Lebron can guard Curry if it comes to it. The Rockets are one of the worst pick and roll covering teams I've ever seen. There was a reason the Clippers came down every possession and ran the 2 high 1 roll screen set. I'm (literally) willing to bet he doesn't get some of the insane wide open looks he got against the Rockets.

spell check in chrome doesnt like the work unguardable, apparently.

But he's been getting those looks all year. Its not just a recent thing.

Its just their team make up. If its not Curry its Thompson. If its not those two then Green or Barnes randomly drop some 25 point game. Lebron may still be the biggest threat on the court, but the Warriors just have too much.

i dont think lebron wants to be chasing curry around screens all game. he could guard him late or in a pinch but he's going to get run ragged otherwise. best to get delladova to take out curry early in the series to even the teams up

I said if it comes to it. If Curry is cookin he will guard him. It's the Finals.

I think they would be ok with that. It leaves a big hole on wing defense. Lebron is already averaging 40 minutes a game in these playoffs and i think it shows. His 3pt shooting is in the toilet. He was fortunate to not have to chase Korver around screens all series.

They already did.

The Warriors are heavy favorites to win the NBA Finals. Opening -240 or -250, which means around 70% chance of being crowned Champs.

So i stopped by a Krispy Kreme today. The closest one is pretty out of the way so i only get them once or twice a year.

Is there any retail pastry/desert better than a Krispy Kreme donut? I swear to god its like eating a delicious donut flavored cloud. The making of these things must involve magic.

I went through the drive through so i didnt get the fresh donut. Those are especially amazing. They had some special flavors that i got like some Lemon cream one which tasted preeeeety awesome.

Rooting for the Warriors, but looks like I'm gonna have to put a little money on the Cavs as 6 point dogs.

And this Krispy Kreme talk is making me want to hit up the Fort Lauderdale location. That neon light of theirs is like a siren's song when you drive by.

Sorry Smokey.

Sucks that the Finals start a week from today. Hopefully the Rangers and my good friend Bob's team, the Blackhawks, will keep us entertained until then.

The Cavs are playing some pretty basic, elementary basketball which was good enough to get them out of the East, but won't cut it in the Finals.

Golden State is going to steamroll them.

Yeah, I've never been to a Krispy Kreme. There aren't any up here.

I had to Google to find out where Collingswood is.

Same, never had it. There used to be a bunch in the city but they closed down a few years back. Doing a search it looks like there is one in or near Penn Station and LOL at the idea of going there unless I have to.

AT: Thanks for the OBJ article link. I expect some regression due to defenses adjusting and Cruz being healthy. I also expect OBJ to develop into a d-bag. He showed signs at the end of last season and judging by his IG account it's not slowing down this off-season.

If JR Smith ends up with a ring I'm going to kill myself.

Nope. Never forget:

The Warriors won the bidding war with the New York Knicks for Steve Kerr on Wednesday, hiring him away from the TNT broadcast table to be their coach. Kerr agreed to a five-year, $25 million deal with Golden State, said his agent, Mike Tannenbaum.

Vomit inducing. Now we have the clown in your avatar winning meaningless games that cost us the #1 lottery spot.

Krispy Kreme donuts are not that good.

Haven't played much dota for like a month, have barely scratched the Witcher, completely neglecting friend Shake in Elite Dangerous..... downloading Splatoon

Unless it closed down it is in penn station. I think it was on a corner and near Tim hortons
 
lol, of course. I check my mail from yesterday and in it is a bunch of krispy kreme coupons which I've never gotten before!

I'll enjoy my free donut, and my buy 1 dozen get 1 dozen free!

How does it feel to see LeBron take literal NY Knick rejects to the finals?

Hire Fisher over Kerr.

Tank and still lose at life.

Try and hire rehire a dude who assisted in destroying your franchise (Thomas) on the low and thinking nobody would notice.

The NY Knicks will forever be the clown shoes of the NBA smh

Who did the Knicks take? Good lord do they do the draft immediately after the lottery??

They tanked something fierce on purpose and were rewarded with the 4th pick in the lottery. The franchise changers were the top 2 guys. The draft isn't until after the Finals.

They also shipped out 2 players to CLE who LeBron has now taken to the finals lol.

They are also paying Camelo Anthony $120,000,000.00+

The Knicks didn't even tank (for most of the season). The 76ers tanked, the Knicks were actively trying to be good. That's the saddest part and goes to show how much they suck.
