2016 NBA Playoffs Thread [ARCHIVED] Basketball • Page 212

He has a player option for next season.

 

Ahh, I see. Yep, there's no way he exercises the option after these playoffs.

 

I'm just saying random stuff, it doesn't have to have actual meaning. I didn't even watch this game until the last 5 minutes. I just find it funny when people get all bent out of shape over sports and get mad at posts that are clearly not serious. Then again you said because I don't have league pass, read NBA Twitter and watch the Celtics often I don't like basketball... So ya.

 

Not that I want my hometown team to lose but it is good to see the Raptors have some success. Their franchise has been stuck in mud for a long time. It's going to be fun having such a young eastern conference for the foreseeable future.

 

Your own posts make it seem like you don't like basketball. You didn't watch this game and are saying dumb stuff that you admit has no meaning ... don't troll, it's weird.

 

People in the background of this ESPN post game are hilarious.

 

hot take: Cavs will win games 5 & 6 by benching Kyrie or lose one of them

 

how many fucking accounts does Julez have??

 

This was inevitable

 

Agreed, but full disclosure: I would be excited to see an east team other than LeBron's make the Finals, just for variety's sake.

 

I think I'd be on board with that if he were playing on any team other than Cleveland. But until it happens I kinda have to root for them

 

Yeah I mean I'm from Pittsburgh and I'm supposed to hate all Cleveland teams but man I want Lebron to win one with the Cavs so bad.

 

Who would you guys rather see the Cavs play if they make it to the finals?

I've only been loosely following this year so I haven't watched as many games as the people in here. Just curious about which would be the better matchup for them.

 

I'm interested in a Golden State/Cleveland rematch. But GSW has looked a bit lost in the OKC series.

 

silly

 

GS/Cleveland rematch with full health would be a lot of fun, but I don't want to watch GS win again. OKC/Cleveland would leave me happy for the winners regardless of the outcome.

 

I'd be very happy to see the city of Cleveland finally get a championship, but I also don't want to see LeBron James win anything ever again.

 

I don't understand the Lebron hate ever

 

I feel very lucky to be able to watch Lebron play basketball and I'm happy to see him win as much as possible.

 

LePippen

(He's the most physically gifted player to ever set on the court. His ability has nothing to do with why I'd rather see someone else win. James leaving Cleveland the first time to go to a team that I actually hate just carried over. I won't be upset if he wins with Cleveland or anything like that, I'd just prefer to see one of the other three teams win it all.)

 

Golden State and Cleveland would be the preferred matchup for the NBA, ESPN, etc because you would get the casual fans. However, I would like to see OKC and Toronto. A couple of underdogs that got hot when it mattered and made great runs. Plus, I want to see Durant and Westbrook win a title.

 

Nate tibbetts interviewing with the warriors to be kerrs lead assistant :( dont leave the blaze for the death star Nate, dont do it!

 

Lebron is obviously the most valuable player to the Cavs but this series seems to be the team goes as Kyrie goes - when he's on the team is unbeatable but when he struggles you get games 3 and 4

 

but for real, someone is going to pay bismack for his limited offense but athletic glass eating!
