  1. not really - they have no bench and Livingston and Bogut are shells of what they were in the pre-Durant title days. Ezeli and Barnes were still super legit then as well.
     
  2. Age, bench, and roll players have to be taken into consideration. GSW is as weak as they've been in like 5 years at this point.

    This is probably the best chance the Rockets (or anyone) have of beating this team as presently constructed. (It'll be a different team next year for sure.) If James Harden is who his fans think he is, then he needs to win the next two games and prove it.

    I think this could galvanize this Warriors team though, I'm interested to see what they've got.

  3. (LeBron shoulda gone to Philly. Would have a really good chance to have won the title this year.)

  4. I wish KD wasn’t hurt but I’m very excited to see Steph Curry potentially go fucking nuts and hit 12 ridiculous 3 pointers a game.

    They still got Finals MVP Dre who they've just been basically stashing all year for a moment like this life is unfair

  7. and then trade Ben Simmons for Anthony Davis and have a line up of Lebron, Embiid, AD, Gritty, and Meek Mill and still win it all

  8. I can't wait to see what Boston does this off-season - if they will really blow it up and take offers on Tatum and Brown as well.

    watch Kyrie galaxy brain and opt in to the Celtics deal just because he's that type of contrarian haha
     
  9. the East is gonna look so dramatically different next year. No Kawhi in Toronto? Kyrie goes West or goes to the Knicks? KD to NY? Zion on the Bulls, Cavs, or Knicks? Nets make the leap? Can Embiid stay healthy? Is Ben Simmons good? Boston risk it all for a one year tryout with AD?

    Bucks in 6

    FUCKIN SAVAGES IN THAT FUCKIN BOX Prestigious

    Ray's Celtics teams were the most I rooted for anybody since Penny Hardaway had all his injuries. And Ray's Bucks teams with Glenn and Cassell were fun. Other than that I've really been teamless. I just root for Kemba now, don't have much attachment to Gay and have none to Drummond lol

    Thoroughly enjoy Deadspin's sports writing

    Hayward is Gamergater Omri Casspi and the franchise owes him $67 million over the next two seasons. Jayson Tatum has terminal Kobe Brain and was by some measures the worst isolation scorer in the NBA this season; Kobe’s final vengeance against the last franchise ever to beat him in the Finals was to ruin its most promising young player in decades.
