Rihanna is dating Drake you fucking cuck delete this.
How many years of MVP-level finals play you guys think Lebron has in him? I have a feeling he has great longevity and maybe at least 5 more years.
>>68806807
Hahaha drake is the cuck
Lebron just won a series with his fucking dick
conley/parker/mills
leonard/ginbobili/simmons
durant/anderson
aldridge/horford/p gasol/bertans
whiteside/m gasol/duncan/marjanovic
>>68806590
What a ho. LeGod is a married man.
>>68806807
No she isn't
Who is the qt reporter?
>>68807021
Depends
He can transition to the 4 as he slows down, but even at 35 he's going to be the strongest and most athletic 4 on the court.
His stat line would be more like 20/15/10 on 60% shooting
Look how well dreymond excels and he isn't half the specimen or skill of Lebron
As far as being a force of nature like we saw in game 7 where he can jump from the sky and save he fucking series in an otherworldly block? Probably 2/3 years
I don't think Rihanna is that attractive. She kinda looks like a bug eyes alien and her body is unremarkable
I'm pretty sure her only appeal is that you know the sex would be amazing
>>68806807
Rihanna isn't dating nobody
She fucks all famous guys she doesn't date
White black Mexican it don't matter to her if there's a famous dick there she suckin it

2 where he can enforce his will like now. Hours played will catch up to him.
He will be at an all star level probably but Kyrie will need to elevate his game and love will need to be more dominant in the paint if they want to be winning championships five years from now.
>>68807021
>atleast 5
Naaah I don't think so.
If you look at the trend, his PPG has been dropping for the past years. I give him 2/3, 4 at max.
>>68807242
She also has herpes
It's why Chris Brown fucked her up.
>>68807021
I hope after finally winning one in Cleveland Lebron says to hell with it and goes completely HAM next season.
No pacing himself, no saving himself for the playoffs, just start wrecking shit from game 1 and have an MVP season for the ages. Make memechucker's MVP season look like a joke in comparison.
It won't happen, but it's fun to dream.
>if jr doesnt hit those 2 3s the cavs dont win the championship
>if kyrie doesnt hit that shot the cavs dont win the championship
>if lebron doesnt hit that free throw the cavs dont win the championship
>if steph curry doesnt miss that 3 the cavs dont win the championship
>if draymond doesnt get suspended for game 5 the cavs dont win the championship
so many ifs, rofl
warriors won easy if the league wasnt rigged lol
>>68807633
It wont happen. Lebron doesnt have that stamina anymore. Lebron relies on analysis for the playoffs to abuse matchups and make up for deficiencies. He can help Kyrie have one though.
>>68807754
if durbeta and westcuck didn't choke warriors wouldn't even have made the finals lol
so many ifs indeed
>>68807633
Nah
He needs to sit on his fucking ass and be ready for the finals
There is a reason he just had his best playoffs at 31, he didn't burn himself out during the season and had a light postseason
>>68807754
>warriorcucks this mad
>>68807944
It helps when you play in the east and the teams are so shitty you can sweep 99% of them without batting an eye.
>>68807754
>warriors won easy if the league wasnt rigged lol
IF Klay Thompson didn't pull some insane shooting magic in game 6 of the WCF the Warriors wouldn't have even made the Finals.
Kys warrior cuck.
>>68807633
You act like no player puts in 100% to try and get mvp
>>68807883
nah, we won that series...
if not for refball that would be obvious af
>>68808094
haha klay earned it you just mad hater lol...
>>68807754
>>68808053
Real talk though, I honestly think this might have been rigged to test security fur the Republican convention. It felt like the Cavs were struggling against a higher power in that last quarter, it was otherworldly. The curse was real .
>>68806590
Why do people care what this negro slut wants to fuck? We all know she fucks any mildly successful person.
>>68807568
why does this board have so many tripfags? also has anyone seen UTV? I want a (YOU)
I'm currently watching the city of cleveland celebrate a championship. if this doesn't blow your mind I don't know what will
>>68807107
Fuck Lebron
if you were a hot grill would you let jr pipe u?
>>68808085
Eh they just knocked off a 73 win team
I think that proves they will beat anything that comes at them
East has one 3 of last 5 too bruh
So easy tho
>>68808718
No.
>>68807409
That's why you wear a condom
Or don't, get an STD, and extort her for millions
>>68808724
A team that shouldve won game 5 if they had green
A team that should've won if they had bogut game 7.
GS is the better team, you can't refute this.

>>68809044
this 2bh
lebron only has asterisk championships
>>68807107
Hold up we are missing an important issue here...
Why is Drake hanging out with Carlton?
>>68808724
We're talking about having enough rest during the playoffs so you don't run out of gas by the finals. Being in the east is a no fucking brainer. 3/4 of this year's contenders were in the west.
I bet Lebron is pulling all sorts of rituals with all the people worshiping him right now
CARMELOL
>>68809044
Last time I checked the cavs won a game without love?
Would you have given the heat a pass if they lost in 2012 without bosh?
Stay salty
Lebron is one of 5 players with 3 finals
Mvps
Stay mad
:---(
>>68809044
>Playing the injury card
If the Cavs had Kyrie last year they would have swept the warriors. He was shitting all over them until he got reinjured in the first minute if OT game 1.
>>68809106
>implying i'm from the bay
Shut the fuck up you lebron's dick sucking bandwagoner
>>68809107
>One team is representative of the entire eastern conference
>>68809044
a team that all season has pulled off wins without a key player should have been able to do it in the Finals, especially with 3 chances. Plus if your excuse is that Warriors lost because they didn't have Bogut while having Curry, Klay and Green then you are just in straight up denial.
Don't @ me
>>68807754
make or miss league my nigga
>>68809178
Cleveland went 1-1 against Spurs
2-0 against thunder
And just knocked off the 73 win #1 team in a 7 game series
Who exactly was going to beat them? The clippers?
>Steph misses shot
>Duncan misses shot
OMG SUCH BAD LUCK ;-(
Lebron scores 35 in loss
LOL CHOKE
fuck you guys, Lebron haters have no basis in reality at this point
My prediction for next year: OKC knocks the Warriors out and the Thunder lose to the Cavs in the Finals.
Is Curr-curr, dare I say, exposed?
KNEES! I DEMAND KNEES!
>Warriqueers and Gay Area trolls stuck on should've would've could've and can't face reality
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You should lose.
You would lose.
You couldn't win.
You did lose.
Kiss the ring then eat shit faggots.
>>68809531
They never did. They were brainwashed by Skip Bayless.

>>68809293
Oh shit a non bay area warriors bandwagoner. Warriors fans are cancer and you prove it. Appreciate greatness something that you can't say the same to Curry. No excuses, up 3-1 with 2 left in homecourt. Chokeland is where the warriors are.

nigger we're comparing conferences
Getting to the finals in the east is a lot easier than in the west. You woul rather go up against Houston, SAS, GSW than Charlotte, ATL, and Toronto in the postseason leading up to the finals?
>>68809876
Here's a pic of you trying to damage control.
Charlotte>>>Houston

Can't wait to see the sale figures next quater
>>68809044
Green wouldn't have made a difference in Game 5. If anything, his presence might have made things worse as clearly Lebron and Kyrie were inspired from the actions of the Warriors in and after the previous game.
Bogut would have made a difference in Game 6, but not Game 7. Warriors actually had strong defense inside in Game 7 as they were basically baiting the Cavs to drive and then double team/trap them. The only real issue is Kyrie started making his Globetrotter shots and Lebron made a few jumpers from the outside.

>>68810053
You know having Bogut means the Warriors wouldn't of used Ezeli (or barely even play him). Ezeli himself missed 4 easy shots and gave up at least 10 points for da land.
>>68810042
A lot of the high top ones are pretty dope. Plus the new shoe taps into the old man market.
Running the shoe game tbqh
How can people say Kawhi is elite? He's fucking mediocre offensively and his only asset is his defense.
>>68809956

Yes

No

Yes
>>68810117
OKC, we still have some developing to do.
'17 and '18 will have Thunder and Cavs winning the chip, don't know about the order.

Curry's shoes are ugly as fuck. Under Armour is on suicide watch right now while Nike is laughing all the way to the bank.
>>68810207
Yes, but he wouldn't have kept out Ezeli AND Varejao.
>>68810224
Confirmed for not watching 1 Spurs game this season
>>68810042
Already bought me and my gf a pair if Kyrie 2s, I'm doing my part.
speaking of shoes, does /nba/ like Lillards?
Reminder that Nike tried to get Curry but they fucked up during their proposal.
They forgot to erase/replace Durant's name with Curry in one of their presentations.
who will wolves pick? ingram or simmons?
>>68810400
I own the 2's,they're pretty nice
>>68809044
Don't worry GSW is the champion to all the kids in africa
>>68810306
I have these rotting in my closet, the early Lebron Soldier Zooms are the ugliest fucking sneakers on Earth.
>>68809884
Well if your the number one seed your not playing yourself and GSWs didn't play the Spurs and the rockets are shit so what's your fucking point?
You're just a faggot who probably celebrated at 3-1 and now you have to eat crow
Lebron is a top 5 player and just pulled out the greatest and I mean greatest finals ever
No player has ever led an entire series in all categories, never, not any series. Lebron just did it in the finals TO THE WINNINGEST TEAM EVER, and pulled it out on a game 7 road game
Stay upset
Tfw LeGod gave his life for Da Land, and on the third minute rose again.
Praise be to LeGod
Hallelujah

It' been divined by the basketball gods.
>choke a 3-1 lead only for the warriors to do the exact same thing

>Westbrook's last year before he's a FA, wants to win even more with destroying Curry still on his mind
>OKC now know the formula to winning and will execute it all season to lead them to a #1 seed in the West
>Dion spurred to step up his game seeing the Cavs win the championship without him
>Andre confident after shitting on Kawhi and locking down Klay whenever he was on the floor and not in foul trouble
>steps up his offensive game too
>Adams emerging as a top 5 center in the league
>Kanter gets the ball more and becomes a Dirk Malone hybrid
WE OUTCHEA
WE RUN THIS
>>68810042
Lol Lebron is rich as fuck and is the most powerful player in the league
He just took stephs soul and crushed his dreams
I don't think he cares about those choke artist 2s that Steph sells
>>68810544
I fucked up again, those are the newer ones.
>>68810370
How about when Andre Roberson shutdown Kawhi in game 5 and 6 of the semis?
>>68810315
Varejao was the sleeper put inside by the Cavs you think Kerr's that fucking stupid to let Varejao blow it for GSW because MKultra kicked in?
>>68810544
why would you even buy those?
I would've just bought some air maxes
>>68810479
>>68810479
How about you scroll up and understand the context instead of sucking Lebron's dick as your defense mechanism.
>Lebron is getting old
>He was able to play at a high level in the finals because he got a lot of rest
>It's because the east has less contenders than the west
>digressed into blah blah blah GSW sucks Cleveland is the best
>>68810754
Dad got them for me when I wanted Jordans
>>68810802
But GSW does suck.
>>68810723
After switching out Varejao with Ezeli, Ezeli fouled lebron beyond the 3, and gave lebron an easy 3. 6 points in 2 straight possessions :(
>1 million people at the parade

>>68810923

>>68810923
they don't suck as hard as the teams in the east who got swept by the Cavs
How can any non-cleveland fans of eastern conference teams even live knowing that Cleveland is heading back to the finals for the next 2-3 years.

>>68807754
If the league wasn't rigged the Warriors wouldn't have made it anyway because Draymond would have been suspended in the WCF and it would have been OKC vs CLE in the Finals you dumb faggot.

Hey now, that's hyperbolically true for basketball shoes as a part of street wear, but color on the court, i.e. shoes being used for their purpose, is always acceptable. It's a contrast between the rather plain, loose fit of jerseys/whatever yourathletic wear is and then the splash of color or flair in basketball shoes.
Easily the slickest sport athletic shoe outside of maybe soccer cleats, but those aren't nearly as flamboyant and stick to a rigid fundamental design unlike the wide spectrum of basketball shoes.

With this Finals victory, LeBron has done things that only those four have done. LeBron is a better version of Magic anyway, always more Magic than Mike. Not saying LeBron carried this team hard either. He wouldn't have won without his teammates, but that's the point. No one does. Look at last year. He wouldn't have done it without Kyrie, without Love showing up for 14 boards in Game 7, without JR's timely 3's. But regardless, this title elevates LeBron into rarefied air.

>>68813815
Didn't Calderon won with Mavs? Otherwise nope.
In the West you have Curry, Parker and Rondo.
So if you pick 1 or 2, are you in an impossible position as a GM? You basically have to take the consensus 1 and 2 players. Even if you think there are better players, or guys with higher upside, you can't reach for them or you're seen as an idiot and the fanbase calls for your head or the owner overrules you anyway. You can't trade down, because again, the fanbase would riot. So you make the safe pick and if it's a bust, you're seen as an idiot as well. If the safe pick hits, well of course he hit, he was a consensus top pick and any idiot off the street could have done your job.

Simmons is closer to a 6'10" Jason Kidd with A+ athleticism than anything else. He doesn't have LeBron's overall dominance in him, I don't think. He's a pure distributor who doesn't even attempt shots outside the paint, whereas even when LeBron had/has no jumper he still shoots them.

Hawks fan here.
Trading Teague will allow us to re-sign Horford and Bazemore. We can either keep the picks at 12 and 21 or bundle them together to try to move up.
Finally, the dysfunctional two-point-guard system is a thing of the past. Teague is a quality player, but we had to pick between him or Schorder, and Dennis was the obvious choice given his youth and upside.
Ingram reminds me more of Kawhi Leonard than Durant desu. He's a much better defender than Durant was at that age and he's not half the scorer yet.

I get why Atlanta got rid of Teague, but they just gave up an All-Star in his prime and got back the 12th pick in an insanely weak draft. Is that the best they could get?

I am unsure about the fit because all Nike shoes fit me weirdly. I have to wait till I am abck home because in fucking Austria nobody ever heard of basketball and good luck finding basketball shoes in stores.

Why wouldn't they want Horford back? He's a top-30 player in the league, and the Hawks won't be able to sign anyone comparable.
>>68814829
>dumbass
Did you not watch the implosion in the WCF? Durant trying to play PG literally just losing the ball. You should watch those recent games and see how wrong you are. And my point wasn't that he sucks, it was to combat your comment that the 19 year old was far inferior at ballhandling which is impossible based on what I witnessed when he imploded for 6 turnovers a game.
>>68814845
What?
He's literally in his prime, and is currently an all star.
He's had some injury problems recently but he'll be good by next year.
This is a horrible trade as is.
>>68814326
yea you trade a bit of scoring and rebounding for defense. ibaka would obviously be a better fit
>>68814739
Love was extremely overpaid to be a weak link on defense and a spot up shooter on offense. His rebounding and occasional post skills will be missed, but if they can trade him for solid role players they'll be better off. They need a pass/shoot/defend forward to replace the departing Richard Jefferson. If they can get Crowder and Smart for Love they should do it. Wing depth is going to be essential as LeBron ages.

I never said steph had good handles either, stop deflecting. You're the one without a clue, trying to act like Ingram has "far inferior" ball handling than Durant who is a turnover machine. Not to mention why the fuck would you even need your 3 guard to handle the ball when you have a pass first PG in D'angelo and Clarkson? Don't make retarded comparisons that aren't even right faggot

But you burned Lelbron jerseys when he left and you were probably ready to burn your new one when they went down 3-1. Why so insecure? Bird has all the fundamentals and killer instinct that LeBron doesn't. Russell is a GOAT by default.

I'm impressed.
>>68814944
He made the ASG once two years ago when everyone on the Hawks had a career year. You might as well call Kyle Korver an All-Star, because he made it that same season.
As a Hawks fan, Teague was immensely frustrating. He just wouldn't consistently play with the aggressiveness that made him so good at times. I'm ready to see what Schroder can do running the team.
>>68815042
Harden actually has great TOV%, he has so many turnovers because he's their only offensive power.
Steph's handles are half as good as Kyrie's.
Kyrie literally crosses a player every isolation
>>68815249
im not worried. we still got pop. he has a plan for this
>>68815221
Not that guy but LeBron and Bird are pretty comparable. Bird has the 3 ball and LeBron can dunk on nearly anyone, LeBron probably a better passer and defender but Bird better offensively as a whole. I think Bird gets a handicap too because he's white
Monta Ellis for Jahlil Okafor who says no
>>68815249

>>68814835

There was also no free agency and stars couldn't just so "hmm you know what I think I want to just go here and play with all my friends". Less teams mean a greater concentration of talent top to bottom. Expansion is a bad thing. Look at how weak and anemic the league was when Jordan "dominated" it. And I'm not bragging, but 11 championships cannot be denied. And if you want to deny them you're a butt hurt faggot, simple as that.

Y'all niggas acting like Blake doesn't have handles
>>68815307
Yes they are comparable. Strong offensive games while being great facilitators as well. The difference is that Bird has the killer mentality that everyone wishes LeBron had. He had the BBIQ to know to just attack the basket if his show wasn't falling. You never saw Bird continually driving to the basket only to kick it out for a pass. And you didn't have to worry about Bird suddenly becoming passive in the clutch.
All that being said, LeBron is obviously an offensive freak of nature and an all time great. Preferring Bird over LeBron isn't necessarily a bad thing, I'm not saying LeBron is dog shit trash. He's my favorite player in the league and I've rooted for him for years.
>>68815408

blame Ayesha Curry. It was originally scripted for GSW to win Game 7 but she couldn't keep her mouth shut and cost them a championship. Silver can't have the integrity of the league bad mouthed like that by the wife of one of it's superstars on it's biggest stage.

LeBron just willed an overmatched team to 3 straight victories against a 73-9 team. He had back to back 41 point games and then a triple double in a road Game 7 victory. He was the best defensive player on either team. And he did all this en route to his third NBA title. I think LeBron qualifies as clutch now.

You keep assuming that everyone who hates Lebron is a Warriors fan, but they're not. I don't even like Curry and the Warriors and I thought the series was rigged to force 7 games. It wasn't as blatant as the 2002 conference finals, but it was pretty bad.

If not for that Kyrie 3 there at the end, and the Cavs lost, LeBron would be being destroyed right now for going 0 for 5 down the stretch once again. LeBron is clutch, but it isn't that aggressive scoring mentality that Jordan, Bird, Kobe and others had.
Remember when Rose was Steph Curry for like 5 months?
ITS DONE ROSE IS ON THE KNICKS
HOLY SHIT

There's that word again that retards use when they were wrong in their assumptions but their ego is so large they can't fathom being incorrect

>>68815698
I meant "implying that it isn't perfectly logical to diminish the accomplishments of a team that dominated a league of 8 teams"
And thank you for proving my point anyway, that there's more talent in there league now and better all-around players, AND more than three and a half times the amount of teams.
>Calderon included
Deal now has almost no cap implications, Rose-Galloway-Melo-Unknown-Porzingis. Something like $32M in cap space. I guess I'm okay with it.
>>68815538
>actually being this insecure
It's not like I said LeBron is shit and Bird is the GOAT, or that Jordan is shit and Russell is the GOAT. All I'm saying is that you can't ignore Russell. But you'd rather just continue shitposting stale memes like a faggot.

I REPEAT ROSE IS ON THE KNICKS
>>68815708
Blake isn't out there playing point guard. Yes I know they have Chris Paul, but regardless, he's not going to be the lead ball handler. I know Blake can handle in transition on occasion, but he's more of a high post distributor whereas Simmons is out there running pick and roll at an elite level as the lead ball handler. Blake isn't like that.
>the city of chicago
>>68815605
The league did rig shit against the Warriors in the finals. But I also agree that they rigged shit against OKC in the conference finals. The whole point was to get the matchup they wanted so Cleveland could get their championship and some revenge for last season.
>>68814824
no, pretty much anyone that saw Bird play would take prime Bird and it's not even close desu.

They'll shoot for Durant/LeBron and end up with Chandler Parsons.

It sucks to see Rose go, but he's just not worth the contract that he signed in 2012 anymore.
>>68815911
Ginobili is resigning for the minimum. More cap space for KD
>>68814729
>Are the Hawks retarded?
Doubtful. They Have a sleeper in the draft, they're dumping ANOTHER wash-out to the Pacers (literally everyone in that front office needs to be fired and executed) and Utah gets a solid point guard.
Atlanta is playing risk/reward here, but it could turn out well for them. Utah is getting a fucking steal, and the pacers are looking for mayflower trucks to rent.

You never even said "you can't ignore Russell" until the last post. When did anyone dispute that "you can't ignore him?" 11 titles in a league of 8 teams doesn't mean you ignore him
>calling me insecure
You literally just stood here for 15 minutes calling me a "butt hurt faggot," and you want to call someone who posted logical arguments why Russel isn't the "GOAT" that you said he was.
Keep the damage control going.
>>68815888
I mean, almost every team will have cap space. And Rose is straight trash. Melo is declining. What FAs will they attract realistically?
>>68815927
I don't think Simmons is going to do it too.
Was just saying that when needed, Blake can be a competent ball handler too
>>68815924
Really, I don't watch CB a lot, was it necessary?
>>68815937
There were terrible calls against both teams in the Finals. The refs let hard contact go and called ticky tack shit against both squads. LeBron got fouled by Iguodala on a drive late in Game 7 that wasn't called. LeBron continually was mugged driving to the basket and Iggy, Livingston and others are credited with clean steals, when the replays showed them getting a clean strip with one hand and raking his arms with the other. That isn't a clean steal. The officiating was just shit. Implying it was directly rigged against one team or another though is full blown plebeian tier. The NBA cares about ratings and money, not who wins. It's about maximizing your earning potential.
>>68815835
ayyyyyy
HOLY FUCK ITS REAL
THE NEWS HERE IN NEW YORK SAID ITS BEEN DONE
>>68815914
Lopez is awesome. One of the best contested rebounders in the league (kinda lazy on boards outside of that though), okay post game, smart passer, locks down the paint (but can't defend post-ups at all for some reason), might be the funnest person in the NBA. On a great deal. But KP is better at the 5, so trading him isn't bad for the Knicks. Bulls take on Calderon's contract too, which is very helpful. I think it helps both teams. Knicks needed a PG and Rose is a low-risk investment, Bulls needed a big man and a chance to let Butler fully run the offense.
>>68815688
It's easy to score 41 points when your opponent isn't actually allowed to defend you. The Warriors knew they weren't winning shit once the Green suspension happened. They weren't going to get a fair shake, and losing Bogut pretty much finished them off mentally. NBA is rigged as fuck. Easily the worst of the big four.
>>68816009
>Ginobili is resigning for the minimum.
that's what i'm thinking too but it won't be for KD, KD isn't leaving OKC
i think they're trying to engineer something for two sub-max guys
Holy shit Raptors Bull Lakers blown the fuck out, enjoy Jose Caleron and sideshow bob HAHAHAHHAA
>>68815819
>b-but the Jet told us in NBA2k16 that he could dominate in 40 matches in a seson!!444four
all jokes aside my main concern is that Rose significantly weaker in terms of athleticism than before and he STILL wants to live off that, without developing his game in other areas that might make him much more useful overall
>>68816072
Simmons will definitely play point guard for the Sixers. He should at least.
>>68815836
and you're going to ignore the iconic and clutch block and dagger free throw after nearly breaking his wrist on a dunk attempt?
Is Durant stuck with OKC? He's been there for like a decade now. If he was offered way more than OKC was willing to put down, would he leave for the money? Or is that his home now

He also hit the game-sealing free throw with a bad wrist and then won the game by shadowing the fuck out of Klay Thompson at the other end.
D ROSE NO
>tfw Bulls fans
God I just hope Lopez is servicable for a few years, this means noah is gone too right?
ROSE + HOLIDAY + 2017 2ND
FOR
ROLO + CALDERON + GRANT
>>68816159
Staying at OKC for a year will give him way more money because he'll qualify for 10 years + the cap's going up
>>68816066
Rose isn't remotely close to trash. He had a bad start to the season, then produced very well from January on even with all the chemistry issues Chicago had between him and Butler sharing the offense. As for free agents, I think it'll be more about building a complete roster and banking on KP's development.
>>68815786
Of course, I'm very polite like that. You have to be able to laugh at your own trash without being defensive. Go Lakers.

>>68816064
You disregarded my logical arguments with shit tier greentext and old memes. You've stood here for 15 minutes "laughing" and pretending you're some kind of epic troll for having such brilliant opinions like "lele 60s basketball" and "lel short white guys".
Ignoring Russell is writing him off because of when he played. Like that's his fault. He could have just jumped in a time machine and gone wherever he wanted. But he chose to play in the 60s and dominate weak white teams.
>>68816228
If Rolo can help take pressure off Butler, this may work out OK for the Bulls
but sad to see Rose go out this way

So when your team is at the benefit of the riggings, its all fine and dandy and you're the fucking GOAT team, but when its going the other way its that the NBA is the most rigged league in America. You should feel bad for bandwagoning a team that was carried by the refs. The refs gave you 73 wins. The Warriors are a product of the refs, and the refs giveth and the refs taketh away

Back to Hawks: Sources say they'll now try to trade their two first-rounders (one from the Teague deal) to make re-signing Al Horford easier
>>68816537
Who the fuck are they paying they can't afford both
>>68815835
Was hoping Rose went to BKN and stayed healthy to further enrage Boston fans.
It's a dumb shortsighted move for the Knicks, but they're stuck with Melo and can't blow it up so making a half assed playoff run makes sense. But it's like the Lakers in the late Kobe era: a desperate reach, delaying the inevitable.
>>68816154
No I'm not, I'm just saying that the Cavs offense was just as dogshit as GSW in those final minutes until Kyrie hit that 3. Yeah, the block by LeBron was fucking huge. As well as Love shutting down that last look by Curry. But are you going to pretend that that's more important than the only basket Cleveland scored in the final minutes? Are you going to pretend that LeBron wasn't shooting like shit all game long and that Kyrie was providing timely buckets all game long.
>>68816378
RoLo was a legit defensive big man this year and he's on a great contract for the future. I don't think the Bulls should be mad about this trade and I'll miss him in NY.
