NBA Finals Gamethread or how the NBA has more downtime than Game Of Thrones

[Grin&MartyBarret]

Our modern day Emmett Till getting all the calls.

This is stupid.

 

[AimingForYoko]

Dayum

 

[Ale Xander]

Iggy!!!!!

 

[ifmanis5]

Iggy beats all your buzzers. Fun 1st qtr after the early rust got shaken.

 

[snowmanny]

I'm no expert, but it seems to me that that was relatively high level basketball.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Our modern day Emmett Till getting all the calls.

Can you please explain this, because I have no idea what the joke is

 

[Strike4]

What's up with Richard Jefferson's tattoo? RJ, looks like it was done by my 4 year old. And just that, no other tattoos.

 

[Ale Xander]

Iggy has a better shot than Thompson to get in quite frankly

 

[Grin&MartyBarret]

The same Kyrie that people in this forum were arguing against me that's he's not as good as Jimmy Butler?

No

Love is closest of the other four

Dennis Johnson is in the HOF. Thompson, Love, Irving and Green all have a serious chance.

 

[jimv]

I hope we get seven games of this.

 

[luckiestman]

Fucking Durant should have been on the Cs.

Cmon Kevin

You're a shit head.

Don't encourage it.

Just google Lebron's comments and move on. It's for the best

 

[stp130]

Love definitely has a shot. He's still young and he's put up some tremendous years. Klay too. Unless you meant Tristan?

So is Kyrie. He's only 25. And as far as the injury argument goes, it's not like he's Derrick Rose.

 

[ifmanis5]

Mike Brown: Sitting Curry and Durant at the same time is not smart.

 

[luckiestman]

I agree.

Wait, I meant Klay, not Tristan

Clearly I'm the idiot for thinking he meant Tristan. I never call the splash brother by his last name though. My fault

 

[johnmd20]

So is Kyrie. He's only 25. And as far as the injury argument goes, it's not like he's Derrick Rose.

I think Kyrie has an excellent chance to make the hall but he's going to have to do it for another 9-10 years.

 

[luckiestman]

Mike Brown.... you dumb

 

[ifmanis5]

LeBron is playing 45 minutes tonight.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

You're a shit head.

It was a poor comparison is all that I am saying.

 

[Reverend]

It was a poor comparison is all that I am saying.

You're trying to provoke a conversation nobody here cares about or wants to have.

There's a game on.

 

[luckiestman]

It's getting a little chippy out there

Edit: in here too

 

[luckiestman]

methuselah making his presence felt

 

[stp130]

I think Kyrie has an excellent chance to make the hall but he's going to have to do it for another 9-10 years.

I think if he wins a couple more titles in Cleveland, he gets the Dennis Johnson treatment - an excellent PG who played on great teams.

 

[johnmd20]

Refs definitely missing some calls against the choir boys of Golden State.

 

[Strike4]

I get Van Gundy's thing about the amount of contact post up players are expected to take in today's NBA, but look at what they dish out too. LeBron backing in flailing elbows...what's a defender supposed to do?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Comment deleted. Apologies and agreed.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Warriors have far superior bench. Bron is going to have to play 40+ in every game.

They're like the student all the teachers love but is a down low bully

DJ is in partly based on the 1979 season.

Klay's comp is Michael Cooper, another D and 3 guy (forum's phrase not mine) who has 5 rings and 5 1st team defense and 3 2nd team defense awards.

Now if Klay is traded to say Utah and becomes the Finals MVP then he'd have a case. Right now he's the #4 option on a great team just like Coop was, with zero 1st or 2nd team All-NBA.

 

[Ale Xander]

I hope we get seven games of this.

I hope we get one game of this and Lebron tears his ACL and a Warriors win in 4

 

[Ale Xander]

Mike Brown: Sitting Curry and Durant at the same time is not smart.

Why not?

 

[johnmd20]

I hope we get one game of this and Lebron tears his ACL and a Warriors win in 4

That's the spirit.

 

[Fishy1]

I hope we get one game of this and Lebron tears his ACL and a Warriors win in 4

Already we are in the violent fantasies stage of the game thread.

 

[luckiestman]

James and Durant playing some all star game D

 

[Ale Xander]

I think Kyrie has an excellent chance to make the hall but he's going to have to do it for another 9-10 years.

Great we can discuss Love Green Klay and Kyrie in 5 years

Right now there are 3 HoF's

 

[AimingForYoko]

I was not expecting this kinda post this early

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

The Cavs defense breaks down pretty easily when they are forced to defend more than one player at a time. I wonder how the Celtics would have done with Thomas and another viable shot creator. I wont argue that they would have won but they definitely might have made more noise against them.

At least DH3 kept his up there and took the heat (for a while at least). Holy shit that was disgusting.

 

[johnmd20]

And 3 other potential HoF's.

Eh, never mind.

 

[ifmanis5]

This is a Warriors pace.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Cavs have to play a perfect game to win. They may win a couple.... And I wouldn't be shocked if they could win 4, but GS has much more talent

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

It was a stupid offhanded comment. Apologies.

 

[ifmanis5]

OMG!

 

[Apisith]

Wow Kyrie

 

[johnmd20]

That's a hall of fame play by Kyrie right there.

 

[Van Everyman]

Hell, a healthy Thomas would've been more interesting.

 

[Grin&MartyBarret]

That's a hall of fame play by Kyrie right there.

He needs to do it for Utah in the finals though.
