Around the NBA - Conference Finals

Great. Then predict the finals for me. Then we can see if you were right.

 

It’s just Dantoni offense. Threes and layups early in the clock, fast paced offense.

 

Okay, KS said 'Enough' so I guess everyone should stop posting. Close down the site.

 

Had this been any other team in the West sans the Thunder, I would've been rooting against the Warriors. So with that said, FUCK the Rockets!

 

He’s a great player but drives me fucking crazy constantly trying to draw fouls. Some people respect that, I think it’s a cop out. Play the damn game. Imagine harden in pick up, this dude would be calling foul on all his drives.

 

dude...you just say it's because you're a mod.....!

 

I love basketball, I just do and even when the NBA is making me want to take my TV and launch it out the window, I'll probably still find a way to watch. It's weird right now, because literally everyone person I've talked to at work, or friends all basically say they don't watch the NBA any more, be it officiating, or no parity or whatever. My dad even who in a lot of ways inspired my love for the game, only watches here and there (though I know he scoreboard watches a lot). He just keeps saying it's not fun when you know who's going to be there at the end every year.
It has led me to believe, that the NBA has changed it's target demographic, and middle aged guy, older guy I just don't think we are there target anymore.
I'm not sure what they're targeting but the ratings keep going up while more and more of the people I know are falling off, so whatever they are doing is obviously working from a business standpoint.

 

Yeah it’s a bit ridiculous. We all knew the warriors would probably be back in the finals. Before it started I called warriors Cavs and so did a lot of other people. Had doubts when the Cavs were struggling. This is why stern vetoed the cp3 to LA trade. Adam silver should of stepped in when the warriors could sign Durant just for the leagues sake. All these stupid ass super teams. That all started with the heat and Celtics. The idea of a big three. It’s just stupid. Now you have stars trying to pair with other stars and make super teams and it fucks small market teams like Portland. We can’t land shit because of it.

 

I enjoyed Boston as much as any playoff series post Blazers exit...that team is well put together...I actually watched more of their games qtr wise than any other

 

I thought for sure Lebron would leave and maybe he still does but I think he stays. Of course that could all change in a month but they made it to the finals again and I don’t see what his reason for leaving other than the fact his supporting cast sucks. I don’t know if he wants that heat from his hometown again.

 

I guess. Celtics did it last night as well tho and they def didn't have too since Cleveland isn't a huge 3 point juggernaut team. NBA today just has teams jacking 3s and usually it is contested awful 3s.

 

Cavs in 7
