OT: All Things Basketball Thread

And the Celtics get the #3 overall pick as one of the Brooklyn Nets' 900 first rounders they got in the Pierce-Garnett trade lol

Karma. **** the nets.

Philly should take Ingram IMO but most likely will just take Simmons.

Boston makes out like bandits. Made the playoffs and get 3rd overall.

They just need to make sure their pick stays away from the Colombian nose candy #toosoon ?

Just imagine if the NBA somehow got a Toronto-OKC finals lol...and after 99.5% of the talk all year was about the big three (Cleveland, GSW, San Antonio).

Kyle Lowry is a BAD MAN

I'm rooting for that matchup.

I don't want Cleveland winning anything

 

[Emperoreddy]

We have what should be a good game 7 Monday night in the WCF

This Warrior team is just unbelievable. The 3 point shooting percentage is spectacular. I think they could be those Bulls teams.

Depends on what NBA rule set we are using. 90s NBA rules I don't think the Warriors could keep up.

OKC has been hanging in, but they have been on the verge of becoming unglued for the entire 2nd half.

 

[NJDevs26]

OKC pretty much gave up after Curry hit the three free throws, they didn't even attempt to foul in the last minute.

Ibaka should be fined by the team for that foul. That was terrible.

Warriors are winning the championship.

Well yeah that was bad but after that down seven they didn't even attempt to foul letting Curry run around for twenty seconds before hitting another three.

They are going to break up. To many egos on that team. Honestly for the sake of the Supersonics I am ok with that.

 

[NJDevs26]

I could see Durant pulling a LeBron and signing a one-two year deal to hold up OKC until he and Westbrook become FA's in the same year. Not that they're a package deal neccesarily but that gives them a lot of leverage/say.

I think they want to go their separate ways to be honest. Westbrook I imagine wants the hell out of OKC the most.

True

 

[R8Devs]

Great game by Lebron especially with all of the **** thrown at him by the media,former players, etc. But the sad thing is if the Cavs don't win the series all those people will be back and annoying as ever

 

[R8Devs]

game 7 in the nba finals..hope cavs finish it off in oracle--would be crazy to see

 

[NJDevs26]

Honestly this series was over if not for Draymond Green's stupidity. I'm still kind of torn on rooting for history (Warriors being the 'greatest' team ever though that's taken a hit with eight playoff losses, nearly as many as the entire regular season) vs. sentiment (Cleveland finally winning something besides an AHL title).

This series is weird, it's compelling cause of the star power, going to Game 7 and some of the off-court nonsense, but the actual games themselves have been meh.

 

[NJDevs26]

lol at Mrs. Curry complaining about how the Finals are rigged for ratings/money

With all the Warriors' yapping I'm now firmly on the side of rooting for the Cavs in Game 7.

 

[Emperoreddy]

This partly feels like an elaborate torture trap set up for the city of Cleveland.

I thought that for the Red Sox in 2004 too...but like then this might be the history-making way Cleveland finally snaps the curse. What worries me is whether Kyrie is hurt. They really can't afford to go back to being a one-man band.

that was funny as hell considering the cavs still outplayed the warriors regardless
