That was tough to sit through, Game 7 Sunday. Never expected to say that this series. Go Dubs

Fongstarr. · « **Reply #2581 on:** June 16, 2016, 09:01:38 PM »

That was tough. Refs still fucking up on some calls but Warrios played like shit. So many turnovers and just bad plays. Game 7 will one for the books. I can't imagine what the tickets will go for that day. Tech nerds will be front and center.

Sure will be ^ and my god that first quarter was nauseating the fact the were still somewhat in it after that has to be seen as some kind of silver lining,

He even hit a fan with his mouth guard.

Here's the tweet, she's deleted it now:

Also Lebron has played absolutely insane these last few games. I don't think there are many arguments that he isn't the best player in the league right now.

GS needs to be reminded of "Live by the 3, die by the 3."

That's how I see it... despite Lebron playing like an absolute monster, they were completely in that game in the 3rd and beginning of the 4th. Same thing happened in game 5. No matter how shitty they are playing they can be back in it with a few 3's (or God forbid... make a couple of 2 point shots).

Last night they looked like they wanted to be back in bed at the hotel. No fire or energy whatsoever, they looked pitiful.

Still, pretty damn good finals.

It's hilarious how no one will give the Cavs and fucking credit! Fucking warriors fans are the biggest bunch of crybabies.

weedpop · « **Reply #2590 on:** June 17, 2016, 10:03:34 PM »

If the Warriors blow it at home in a game 7 this will go down as the most memorable choke job in recent sports history. I'm stilling putting my (figurative) money on Golden State, but then again, I thought they would take it in 5 and be drinking champagne by now.

Shout out to LeBron for somehow having an even better finals than he did last year.

And Lebron will literally go down as a God in the NBA. It will definitely be an exciting game and I am shooting for my Warriors but will respect Lebron if the get the win as well.

What are you talking about? EVERYBODY is giving the Cavs and Lebron credit... the only person who's blaming the refs/NBA at this point is Ayesha Curry. It would be considered a choke job because the Dubs were easily up 3-1, and to lose it at this point would be a Patriots-esque let down They were the best team in the NBA this year and were a huge favorite to win the title.

Why does everybody enjoy bashing Warrior fans? You guys act like any of you gave a shit about the Cavs pre-Lebron.

postscript: I do believe the NBA is rigged.. but I've thought so for years. It caters to it's biggest stars, which is why everyone is after Lebron... I came to this realization back when the Kobe/Shaq Lakers were taking on the Sac. Kings in the semi-finals. Years later one of the refs ADMITTED it was rigged. Just came across this short article too:

http://mlb.nbcsports.com/2016/06/17/david-price-thinks-the-nba-finals-are-rigged/?ocid=Yahoo&partner=ya5nbcs&yptr=yahoo

"Part of why it was fun is that . . . it’s not the first time someone has claimed that the NBA playoffs were rigged. As a big NBA fan in the 1980s and 1990s, I recall so many of my friends and, occasionally, radio hosts and such making some arguments that all the big series went to 6 or 7 games in order to increase revenue. There was never a solid basis for anyone saying that, but given how impactful any one or five officials’ calls can be in basketball as opposed to other sports — and given that, yeah, evidence later surfaced that some NBA officiating was in fact crooked — you were never going to shut those voices up."

If the nba is fixed then you have to accept that the warriors-okc series was rigged. So you have nothing to complain about.

Beer Keg Peg Leg · « **Reply #2594 on:** June 18, 2016, 04:35:21 PM »

also people hate on warriors fans because all they do is complain about the refs while their teams gameplan is literally to set illegal screens. get over it, your team has been beaten fair and square the last two.

Glue Reed · « **Reply #2595 on:** June 19, 2016, 07:46:43 PM »

damn what a choke. No fix or officials to blame for that one... they had about 10 chances to pull away the last two minutes and they blew it every time.

Props to the Cavs, they played those last 3 games with fire.

Love is hurt which is the death nail for Cleveland. This shows it doesn't matter what players you get, but how they play together. Golden State will sweep

Judging by your prediction history it looks like the Cavs are gonna take it now. Or at least push it to 7.

Really shows how important Bogut's moving screens were

No one to blame for GS, Lebron and co simply owned them fair and square

Silky Johnson · « **Reply #2601 on:** June 20, 2016, 05:15:25 PM »

God damn that one stung and probably will for a while, no excuses tho the Cavs played at a higher level, Kyrie and Lebron are a hell of a duo. Congrats Cleveland for ending your title drought. Looking forward to next season already.

That's what I've been saying all year, the sixers losing streak is more impressive than GSW's winning streak. It's very difficult to be that bad in a cap league, but Philly keep doing it. Trust the process, trust the process... You can sign some players too and give the fans something to see....?? Philly is a huge market and they keep blowing it, die hard fans should just abandon the team... They aren't far off from beating Chicago in a playoff series

guest1234 · « **Reply #2605 on:** June 21, 2016, 02:32:37 PM »

Last 3 games, LeBron just went berzerk. So happy for him, GSW were just collateral damage. Leading every player in all major stats (Pts, Rebs, Asts, Steals, Blks), it is just ridiculous what he did. You could tell he was gassed coming down the stretch though, Kyrie came through with the shot of the season. Amazing playoffs, even better finish.
