Game Thread 2017 NBA Championship - Cavs vs Warriors

At this point only Jordan can rival LeBron. Those are your two best players to exist imo.

 

My enthusiasm for next season is solely on the Blazers, once we get bounced (and it will happen) I'm just not investing any time in any other series. I'm not excited to see Cleveland vs Golden State episode IV: A New Hope

 

I don't get why a lot of you guys hate so much. Like yeah the playoffs and finals were ass this year and it's definitely not competitive and lopsided but Lebron kinda started this whole thing with his hour special and formed two super teams in Miami and then back in Cleveland basically making what seems like every roster decision for them as well, KD leaves and gets his ring. It's what players are gonna do. Lamarcus tried the same shit. Now the cavs are gonna go try and get Paul George or Hayward or some shit, this is the league now I mean for fucks sake a tam can tank to lose just for the best talent in the draft. Is what it is but I don't see the need to hate on it. People can't get past Barkley never winning a ring, I bet KD or Lebron didn't want to be known like that.

Years and years from now it will be "yeah Westbrook averaged a triple double in a season one time but he never won a ring". Some players really want that ring, to others it doesn't really matter. I can't hate though. I dislike how the league is but I'm not gonna get salty about it

 

I disagree. I think LeBron joined the Heat in response to what the Celtics had done the last few years of his first stint in Cleveland. LeBron was justified in leaving Cleveland too as his robin was Mo fuckin Williams lol Durant left a loaded Thunder team.

 

A loaded thunder team? LOLOLOL

Westbrook is a cancer who will NEVER win anything

 

It wasn't Westbrick's fault the Thunder choked a 3-1 lead...

 

Let's get Kevin Love

 

He sucks. Most i would trade for him is Harkless.

 

He'd be dope.

We would need to spend a draft pick on a stud defensive wing after this. Maybe OG?

The thought of the passing between Love and Nurk is making my pants tight tho.

 

I wonder if a 3 teamer would work
Portland sends: #15, #20, Turner or crabbe, Harkless
Portland gets: Love
Cleveland sends: Love, Shumpert
Cleveland gets: Paul George
Indiana sends: Paul George
Indiana gets: #15, #20, Turner/crabbe, Shumpert, Harkless

 

Way overpay on our end and still not even in the ball park for Indiana to accept that trade.

As much as I hate the Lakers they can draft Ball then offer Russell+Ingram/Randle for George and that's probably more what they are interested in

 

Sure if LA offers Ingram but they wont. Indiana isn't going to get this god offer since all the rumblings are that PG wants to go to LA badly.

 

I think LA would deal Ingram for George, they're desperate for a star.

 

Why do we pay for paul George and get Kevin love?

 

Mmm, I'd put Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain in that discussion too. Chamberlain was incredibly dominant and is probably James' main rival for "most freakish athlete to play the sport." Abdul-Jabbar paired sky-high peak with unfathomably long-lasting excellence.

 

The Warriors won? Wow....I'm shocked. At the beginning of the season, who could have possibly predicted that? Been on pin and needles all season long. Damn....this is a serious shocker!
