2016 NBA Playoffs Thread [ARCHIVED] Basketball • Page 253

And sorry Thunder, you blew it. Better luck next year.

 

I don't know who I'd root for in a Warriors-Cavs final this year. Both teams are so deserving. I'd love LeBron to get another ring but I don't want the 73 win season to come up short of the title. It's a perfect matchup for the hot-takers. Whoever loses they'll be fully loaded with grenades to throw at them all summer.

 

The NBA's official Facebook page already revealed which teams will be playing in the Finals

 

"NBA conspiracy theorists"

NBA is so rigged. They told Klay to make 11 threes and then had KD and Russ not make a shot in the last 5 mins while turning it over repeatedly.

So fixed.

 

I don't think NBA refs are competent enough to carryout a fix.

 

I, for one, would not feel bad for the Warriors coming up short of a title. Regardless of being a Cavs fan, they are so easy to hate.

I'd rather the Cavs face the Warriors though. If the Cavs win the title over OKC, I don't want to have to hear "Well, they didn't beat the Warriors" for months on end with Draymond Green making that claim at every given opportunity.

 

Made the mistake of opening WatchESPN on the Apple TV and it started playing Steven Smith's rant.

Fuck that network. Seriously, their talking heads are the god damn worst.

 

Love some good old fashion hot takes

Klay Thompson is better than Steph Curry

Lebron needs an alpha dog like Wade to win a ring, Kyrie and Love are gonna crumble

Oklahoma City will nevr win a title ever

Durant should murder Westbrook if he wants to go to the finals even

Warriors are gonna blow it up after going down 3-1 even if they win another championship that is just embarrassing guys c'mon

 

There was a twitter argument goin down between some Charlotte fans when Warriors were down 3-1 talking about how they're going to blow it up. Steph to Charlotte next summer came into the conversation and multiple people said "don't want him".

The world we live in.

 

Gotta be UNC fans.

 

why would you want him he's a choker that disappears in the big moments. He's like a bizzarro Klay Thompson or a standard Kevin Durant or a still better Chris Paul because he can at least get to big moments

 

Does Mutombo run the NBA's facebook??

 

He'll probably turn it around. :p

 

Kyrie was pretty clutch in that game1 last year before he broke his knee cap

 

There's definitely a few ESPN guys I still like, but I won't be shedding a tear when that network finally bites the dust.

 

The only thing I'd count on Kyrie for is not playing defense and busting his own knee cap

HOT TKES

 

Can't wait for tonight. Hoping steph shows up with a big game.

 

Would love to see the Thunder somehow pull it off tonight.

 

i honestly think OKC will win tonight, maybe im just being overly optimistic but whatevz

 

I don't believe they will. When you have a a few chances to close the door on a team and don't, it just swings the momentum in the other direction. Not to mention it's a road game, and that seems to really mean something in these playoffs.

 

Hope kd goes off

 

That's how I felt when they lost g6 and even was vibing it game5. I think they're done. Momentum is so hard to shift.
That's when I was devo last finals when Cleveland lost momentum after surprisingly getting it with LBJ and Delly.

Really hoping thunder can do it. Would love a first time winner. And GSW have gone from so likeable last year to not very at all

 

I'll be surprised if the Thunder keep it close.
