Event 2018 NBA Finals, Warriors vs Cavaliers.

Best player against best team. Storyline would be great.. if we were in 2015.

 

Oh and I want to add that Is there a correlation with how Portland left the playoffs and the fact that this series hasn't started yet and we already locked it up once? first game isn't until Thursday right?


So.. Takes on how many times this gets rebooted?

Edit: Wait. Scratch that. No pool. People would do it purposefully.

 

As soon as Cleveland loses the first two, the narrative will switch to The Decision 2.0

 

Hypothesis:

Houston just lost. Do they go into the summer saying man we are close, but if we want it next year, even with a Healthy CP3(is that possible) in the playoffs, we need one more piece. LBJ loses to GSW. He then signs with Houston for cheap to take out GSW and make the finals easy for a couple years?

I believe in order for him to succeed moving forward, he will need to rely on others and play off the ball more. A team like Houston could just be the ticket.

 

I shortened HCP's title, my finger was getting tired. Feel free to add to his title until you are no longer confused.

 

J F'n C. If that were to happen, NBA fans should just boycott every game involving one of those two teams. I would. But they wouldn't

 

Oh dude, I would. Absolutely. It would piss me off so bad, mostly because it would just be the cap on Dames prime coming up. And there would be nothing Portland could do about it. Period.

It might actually drive Allen to sell and or move the damned team to Portland Maine. Sell being a somewhat legit concern. He isn't getting any younger.

 

Oh, I mean: What proof do you have that LBJ is going to sign with Houston if he loses the series? Where did you hear that? I mean, you can't just make shit up!!!

FAMS!!!!

 

But. I thought... If I build it they will come?


I have this rusty faucet of a mind leak I just cannot turn off for the life of me! And I fully expect everyone to take it as gospel and read it as the headline on every major sports page out there.

 

I’ve heard worse theories.

 

Do death threats count as personal insults? Not from me I'm just curious of I should report them as they happen

 

No. The warriors just sign DMC....

 

In regards to the thread topic, NOT your post. Emphasis on NOT YOUR POST;
