fantasy basketball anyone?

Tracer · « **Reply #2341 on:** November 07, 2015, 03:11:46 PM »

Still early season but I'm saying Hawks/ Cavs come outa the East, and Spurs/Clippers from the West. Warriors will win a shitton of season games but they won't get handed that same luck as last years playoffs.

Hearing that from Trace-r makes me happy about the Dubs odds this year. Always seems his predictions are completely wrong

Jesus christ you are still complaining about this shit??

Is it really that hard for you to admit that a team, who finished with the best record in the NBA (and the 6th best in the HISTORY of the NBA), who was picked to win the title from the very beginning, who were the favorites in every single round of the playoffs including the finals in which they won fairly easily, is a good team??

Pull your head out of Lebron's ass you sound like you work for ESPN.

They look even better this year than they did last year.

Eh, i didn't wanna preface it with "i know you're a troll but...." like many do, so I figured I'd just play along. Plus we're talking sports here, shit's serious

Tracer · « **Reply #2351 on:** November 09, 2015, 05:46:16 PM »

Warriors got to face every team with injuries last year, not including the spurs(thanks Silver for fixing that playoff rule)

bentmode · « **Reply #2352 on:** November 09, 2015, 06:40:25 PM »

There's a little luck involved in every title in every sport. You are fucking delusional if you think that the spurs had a chance against the dubs. Going through a 7 game massacre in round 1 would have depleted them. Little bit of a championship hang over. Nobody wanted it more than the warriors

weedpop · « **Reply #2353 on:** November 24, 2015, 10:26:56 PM »

The Warriors vs. the Lakers tonight:

Silky Johnson · « **Reply #2354 on:** November 24, 2015, 11:50:20 PM »

So hyped 16-0

Tracer · « **Reply #2355 on:** November 25, 2015, 12:22:41 PM »

Kobe should retire, he is shooting airballs in almost every quarter. 1-14 last night... Atleast let the younger kids lose these games so LA can get back on track next year with some hardened sophs. Kobe is doing nothing but teach these youngsters how not to play NBA basketball

foureyedjim · « **Reply #2356 on:** November 29, 2015, 03:33:25 PM »

Warriors streak continues...lets see how they do on their road trip.

Tracer · « **Reply #2357 on:** November 29, 2015, 05:15:09 PM »

Kobe is retiring after this season

Dear Basketball,

From the moment
I started rolling my dad’s tube socks
And shooting imaginary
Game-winning shots
In the Great Western Forum
I knew one thing was real:

I fell in love with you.

A love so deep I gave you my all —
From my mind & body
To my spirit & soul.

As a six-year-old boy
Deeply in love with you
I never saw the end of the tunnel.
I only saw myself
Running out of one.

And so I ran.
I ran up and down every court
After every loose ball for you.
You asked for my hustle
I gave you my heart
Because it came with so much more.

I played through the sweat and hurt
Not because challenge called me
But because YOU called me.
I did everything for YOU
Because that’s what you do
When someone makes you feel as
Alive as you’ve made me feel.

You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream
And I’ll always love you for it.
But I can’t love you obsessively for much longer.
This season is all I have left to give.
My heart can take the pounding
My mind can handle the grind
But my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.

And that’s OK.
I’m ready to let you go.
I want you to know now
So we both can savor every moment we have left together.
The good and the bad.
We have given each other
All that we have.

And we both know, no matter what I do next
I’ll always be that kid
With the rolled up socks
Garbage can in the corner
:05 seconds on the clock
Ball in my hands.
5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1

Love you always,
Kobe

You wouldn't have said shit if Hayward played even mediocre in the 2H. Warriors got exposed

I was actually just going to respond with "maybe" before the 4th but I decided wait until after the game to say anything <3

bentmode · « **Reply #2365 on:** December 01, 2015, 12:15:53 PM »

Exposed? Thats laughable. When you trail by 8 most of the game and with 6 minutes left you take your first lead of the game. It wasnt like the jazz ball movement off or on was any great. A lot of iso. Utah was lucky to not get blown out with their hero ball antics. Utah played stiff defense but it seemed like nearly all scoring possesions for the dubs were assisted. I would wager utah played up to the competition and doesnt average 100 points a game this season. Warriors may not lose a game until next year.

crackrazor · « **Reply #2366 on:** December 01, 2015, 04:50:50 PM »

Yeah, the brooklyn game felt closer.

It sucks that most of the upcoming games games for the Dubs aren't against anyone intense. I wish my Raptors could give them a go, but I'm not very confident.

foureyedjim · « **Reply #2367 on:** December 01, 2015, 08:42:31 PM »

Utah played great, but they were lucky Walton decided to play that god awful Bogut-Speights rotation that gave them 3 easy buckets off turnovers.

I think the Raptors can do it at home, I know DeRozan is gonna try his best drive up the lane a billion times again...

crackrazor · « **Reply #2368 on:** December 02, 2015, 01:47:17 PM »

I can see the raps getting up for the first half, but the wheels usually fall off right around then.

Tracer · « **Reply #2369 on:** December 03, 2015, 06:33:10 PM »

20-0 that's fucking ridiculous, not that there's parity in the NBA but still. All hail Curry and the Warriors, it's hard to win 1 game in the NBA let alone 20 straight. I hope San Antonio knocks them off, people forget Curry is 1 ankle injury from ending his career. His stamina and leadership is something I've never seen, Utah so close.
