It's crazy to think we're looking at the next 2-3 years of the NBA

Forget having having a chance until 2020, there's literally no point in watching because after this re-sign we already know what's going to happen for the next few years.

Whether you're a normal person or a Warriors fan, they're here to stay.

Shills calling this tripe greatness and Silver too busy deflecting to do what needs to be done and put on a hard cap or something.

Honestly no point in watching anymore, players just cashing checks now because there's no chance of doing anything meaningful for your next years, so get paid.

Shills are going to come out the woodwork to bash this post but we all know it's true but no one wants to admit it.

Sad!

Woooooooo

GOAT Team light years ahead etc etc

Hopefully we win 4 or 5 more

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

Why is this Finals so underwhelming. Like.... I guess cause everyone predicted and knew the Warriors would win it all...

 

[Hyperactivity]

Hahaha Jeopardy

Man.

I really wanted this finals series to go to 7, would've made up for the shitty playoffs we got. Surprisingly, the regular season was more entertaining than normal, but damn did this post-season suck, even if the last 3 games were good.

 

[Fenderputty]

15-1, first round was best of 5 back then.

Dubs have best post-season record.

This seems like a very silly point of contention.

I would say congrats but fuck the dubs and KD's ring changing man baby ass. He does deserve MVP tho

 

[RootCause]

as a third party person here, I would love to see that. Maybe the rest of the league owners would demand change

Plus apparently, ring count is everything when talking about the GOAT, and these Warriors are likely winning the next 2-3 chips

I don't think I could watch a single game of the season.
Though I wouldn't blame them for improving their team.

 

[Kickz]

2001 Lakers did it first. Shaq would destroy this team.

LOL salty ass Laker fans, this GoldenState team is better than any Lakers team ever.

 

[Officerrob]

A team with three of the top 15 players in the league needed to bring in a top 3 player in the league to beat Lebron

 

[higgsboson1997]

So happy Curry, Draymond, Klay, and the rest of the guys got their revenge from last year! Well deserved!

 

[Marauder Shields]

Thankfully the luxury tax is going to break up this GS state team. They have one more season of this max.

 

[NYR]

This seems like a very silly point of contention.

Durant won them this championship. Don't kid yourself, without them, the Cavs can be close to even with them.

 

[benjipwns]

Cavaliers will be a repeater tax team next season.

 

[Frozenprince]

David West getting a ring tho smdh.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

LOL salty ass Laker fans, this GoldenState team is better than any Lakers team ever.

Nah.

 

[Erico]

The most pointless NBA season ever is finally over.

Now onto that juicy draft drama!

 

[Fenderputty]

LOL salty ass Laker fans, this GoldenState team is better than any Lakers team ever.

Golden state didn't even have fans until like 3 years ago. Do you even remember 2001?

 

[xfactor99]

Thankfully the salary cap is going to break up this GS state team. They have one more season of this max.

Steph and KD are going to resign. Klay won't be a FA until after the 2019 season, so at the very least we have 2 more years with all four of the stars together.

 

[RootCause]

Cavaliers will be a repeater tax team next season.

Offseason will be funny with the trade talks. Hopefully we get some sub tweets. lol

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Some people ain't good at holding Ls :shrug

 

[Fenderputty]

Durant won them this championship. Don't kid yourself, without them, the Cavs can be close to even with them.

That's why I said he deserves the MVP. He's still a ring chasing man baby

I've been a Dubs fan since 1998, this notion that all Warriors fans are all bandwagoners is a lazy narrative that completely overlooks the We Believe era.

That 2001 Lakers team was really great but it played some weak competition; certainly, no team that matched this year's Cavs. I'd say what puts the Warriors ahead is the superior point differential in the playoffs and far superior regular season.

edit: Nvm what I said about the Lakers having weak competition, I got owned below and deserve it

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Super salty they couldn't get the clean 16-0. 😢

 

[TheCochese]

NBA in 2017 zzzZZZzzz

Same.

 

[GravityInsanity]

Just realized LeBron has now lost 5 NBA Finals...

I know a good amount are Laker fans changing allegiances

 

[CountAntonius]

Breaking news: LeBron demands trade to Warriors.

 

[Codeblue]

See both teams again next year

They can't break Leonard's ankles two seasons in a row.

 

[Fjordson]

So happy. Respect to the Cavs though. Lebron's the best athlete I've ever seen.

Lakers over the Jail Blazers, Webber Kings, and prime Duncan Spurs, sweeping all of them.

Are you kidding me?

 

[DopeToast]

I'm a very sad man right now, but this made me laugh. Thank you.

What?!!

 

[Hyperactivity]

Durant got FMVP.

Curry honestly had a good argument without the stinker that was game 4

He has a lot of Participation Awards though.

Personally?

 

[xfactor99]

So happy. Respect to the Cavs though. Lebron's the best athlete I've ever seen.

As a Warriors fan after seeing these last 3 finals I say he's better than Jordan. The Warriors have some of the best, most elite wing defenders in NBA history and he is still completely unstoppable. Not only that he consistently makes his teammates better and always makes the right pass to the open shooter.

His main flaw is that he's been doing jack all on defense though. But hey when you gotta play 46 minutes cuz the team is horrendous without you...

 

[bionic77]

LOL salty ass Laker fans, this GoldenState team is better than any Lakers team ever.

Except that Lakers team 3-peated and never got blown out like GS did when they went 15-1.

GS is definitely deeper but IMO Kobe and Shaq were more dominant than any 2 players on the Warriors. Would have been a really weird series if those teams played.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Also, can we express some appreciation for the unholy demonic performance put up by JR Smith? Holy fucking shit. Cavs should have fed him more.

 

[Radec]

Holy fuck at Lebron's triple double average. Guy did all he could.

Damn Goat of my gen

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Just a warning that if this thread ends up derailed or full of hot take spam posts cluttering up the discussion like previous NBA threads have had at times this past seasons, all offenders will eventually be dealt with accordingly.

That's why I said he deserves the MVP. He's still a ring chasing man baby

Don't do this. This is how things start to go south. Talk about the circumstances with the league, salary cap, free agency etc that enabled it to happen, but random personal hot take attacks is what I'm referring to above.

 

[Bad_Boy]

i just hate lebron, so im happy.

 

[RootCause]

Just realized LeBron has now lost 5 NBA Finals...

is it better to lose them all in the earlier rounds? Way too many nba fans with loser mentality.

 

[benjipwns]

Just realized LeBron has now lost 5 NBA Finals...

Four of those losses came in the last seven NBA Finals.

 

[Corran Horn]

Its so hard being here in Sac. Our team has been bad for so long that everyone becoming warriors fans -.-

 

[GoldenEye 007]

'72 Dolphins poppin that champaign.

 

[gimmmick]

Still wouldn't beat the 01 Lakers.

 

[M.W.]

Steph, shut up

GS is definitely deeper but IMO Kobe and Shaq were more dominant than any 2 players on the Warriors. Would have been a really weird series if those teams played.

Prime Shaq in general was just a really fast and strong center, that would be one of the few players that could legitimately threaten the Dubs almost singlehandedly in the history of the NBA.

He's just a bad match-up for them.

Either way, both teams are in the conversation for GOAT teams

 

[Ultryx]

Lots of salty people in here. Glad GSW won. They're a good team.

 

[RootCause]

Steph, shut up

What did he say?
