Event 2018 NBA Finals, Warriors vs Cavaliers.

Yeah, if KD wasn't such a pussy, there would be 5-6 teams competing for gold. OKC, HOU, SAS, CLE, BOS, and GSW. Meanwhile, TOR, NOP, MIN, PHI, and POR would be a piece away from joining in.

How's that for parity and golden age basketball?

Anyway, the way the Warriors have played shows me that they're not as invincible as people think. It's not easy to do but you can beat them if you construct a team that is on par with the 08 Celtics (which this year's Rocket's were very much near that level).

Unfortunately, the only way for Portland to do this would be to tank for a year or two and hope they get a stud to keep or trade for a disgruntled star. Letting Napier and Ed Davis go, trading Aminu and/or Harkless to competing teams for their pick, and resigning Nurk would be the way to do this as this team is almost Phoenix Suns level bad without its roleplayers.

I hope for the sake of other NBA cities, Canzano is not the norm. Everyone here ignores him, so I'm not sure he can exert much pressure.

 

so sick of the Warriors

 

He would have ended up leaving here like he did the Blunder anyway and we would have pulled a LaMarcus and not traded him for anything.

 

LeBron n'em got swept by SAS in his first finals when he drug that team to the finals kicking and screaming.

 

You're trippin. We're going to the WCF next season...

Whatchutalkinbout??

 

SAVAGE!

 

Oh my that’s awesome. The NBA has to tone down some of the whining / yelling at refs imo, seeing guys complain literally every play is getting so old...

 

They literally curse at the referee.

The DONKEY gets pissed at a call, yells, curses, and swings his arm in disgust, HITS Ken Mauer, DRAWS BLOOD, No tech....

If you even MAKE CONTACT with an official it's a tech.

 

The amount of disrespect spewed at the refs is just crazy. Draymond s probably the worst currently but there are a lot of players who seem to lose their mind every play...
I couldn’t be a ref, Draymond would only play like 5 minutes per game...

 

So, who said it?

"“We’d be up 3-0 if Kyrie was still here. I have no doubt. Do you?”"

Cavs veteran player: 'We'd be up 3-0' on the Warriors if Kyrie Irving 'was still here'

Of course, it would have been more accurate to say: We'd be up 3-0 on the Warriors if Kyrie was still here and healthy.

BNM

 

Ouch this will leave a mark! Lebron's Sorry Portland Quote in NBA Finals regarding KD. Damn that's some shade ill have to go honk twice!

 

I laughed, I cried...

 

I had a drink and took a bath.

Then a new day dawned.

 

Cool
I just said he’s competitive and not relaxing, and that if he showed up in Portland everyone would love him. Period.

 

Except that's not all you said. "So this is not about leaving a team or joining a great team. It’s about you and your team."

 

In other words, if he left his team and joined YOUR team you’d all be A-OK with it.

 

I've searched everywhere for that video. It's like it got scrubbed from the internet.

If ANYONE can find it, please post it.
