if you told me a year ago that al horford would be carrying a team on his back in the finals i'd tell you to go back on your meds

what he's done tonight is incredible

 

[Jack Straw]

The Masshole media is going to grill Tatum tomorrow. Yikes.

Yeah, they will. Probably somewhat deservedly. I think he's really good but not "franchise player good".

 

[Breakers]

Mark Jackson almost lost it.

Said he’s never seen a worse game plan before having Al Horford come up on the screen and roll every time

“5 straight possessions where Horford gets stuck on Curry, what the heck kind of game plan is that?, having your 37 year old big guarding the best player on the other team”

 

[Nikki Potnick]

Marcus Smart is such a punk bitch, glad to see him get clowned.

 

[GKJ]

The announcers did a good job trying to make people think the Celtics could make it back, but now they've given up the ghost.

 

[Reality Check]

I mean, Boston did better than I thought they would in these finals. I had them losing in five.

Was tempted to post in the Boston forum. But I figured I would be banned in a hurry.

I peeked in there and they're skewering Tatum.

Curry cementing his legacy, Finals MVP.

 

[GKJ]

Andre Iguodala!

 

[Terry Yake]

Good on Kerr putting Iguodala in to run down the clock

 

[clydesdale line]

Steph Curry bout to tie LeBron in rings.... and LeBron won one of those rings during the co-vid bubble.

 

[Reality Check]

I peeked in there and they're skewering Tatum.

I peeked in there prior to the fourth.

When they were complaining about the refs bias. Then believing they will be back here next year with an adjustment.

Ehh...

 

[Canes]

Every single game decided by double digits. Exciting stuff!

 

[Scandale du Jour]

I am very happy for my fellow Canadian Andrew Wiggins. Well deserved. Redemption year for him.

 

[Jack Straw]

Kind of amazing to see Curry as emotional as he is considering all he's accomplished already.

Ehh...

yeah, they're not going to be back. great defensive team but they got super lucky these entire playoffs getting timely 3s from below average shooters like smart and horford while also avoiding any serious injuries to their stars

 

[GKJ]

The Warriors now have the third most NBA titles all-time.

The Golden State Warriors!

I grew up in the 90's and early '00's. That's weird to think about!

 

[Breakers]

Tatum with the most turnovers in a single playoffs in NBA history


He turns it over sooo gawd damn much.
Led his team in turnovers again tonight

Ehh...

I mean, they could be. I think Robert Williams is better than I thought he'd be and he should be better next year. Tatum needs to take another step, not sure if he will or not. But they're not likely to get another performance like this from Horford, and he might have been their most consistently good player.

 

[EpochLink]

Warriors win their 4th title since 2015, 3 players whom they've drafted and developed are on their way to the hall of fame.

Congrats again, this is one heck of an accomplishment.

Same. I remember playing basketball video games and being confused about this obscure team.

I'm not saying they can't be back. But they had a lot of things go their way.

I think he even had the record already locked up a few games ago.

Let's not forget that 2 of those titles came when they were in Philly.

Run TMC warriors were fun. But yeah that franchise was stuck going nowhere for a long time until Curry and Klay came along, aside from that one year they upset a 60 win mavs team in the playoffs
