That dunk attempt was so surreal as like it felt like time slowed down as the ball got passed back to Lebron from Kyrie and you saw the potential for what could be. He almost ended Draymond, and the Warriors organization right then and there.

That's a good universe.

That Lebron almost dunk was my favourite. Because then after we thought he might be dead but he was not because he is the greatest player ever. Only squares don't like Iverson

SHOAH NUFF posted:Love Lockdown is funny but not a huge "oh poo poo" moment like the Block or Kyrie's Dagger No. That Love play was me saying oh poo poo oh poo poo Steph is about expose Love and tear the heart out of Cleveland. Then Love locked down the undisputed, unanimous, uncontested MVP candidate on the perimeter to essentially seal the game.

Cool Buff Man posted:Probably not, but I don't think the Celtics would be better with that version of AI and I don't think Nash's Suns would be better with him either, so I'm not sure why that matters. I think the argument was the offense was necessarily inefficient.

But in all honestly, the Love/Curry shutdown is also one of the greatest sports moments ever. Which means that like, most reasonable people can probably agree that 3 out of the top... lets say 20 NBA finals moments happened within 2 minutes of eachother in game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals.

SO FAR

the Block is LeBron's iconic play, there's so much subtext to it that I can't make it not the best Finals play ever. Love shutting down Curry is the best for the comedy factor though

Lebron does that block all the drat time though. He did it to Steph and others Multiple times in the series. Like I was watching that thinking the entire time that poo poo's about to get blocked. Just didn't resonate with me.

The block was the turning point in the series and led to Lebron and the rest of the Cavs realizing how easily they can punk Steph. The almost chaos dunk wasn't even that good and was easily blocked by Draymond. Had he completed it it still wouldn't have been as iconic as the Love defense or the Irving dagger.

Spacebump posted:If nobody trades for Okafor, how does that change Philly's offseason plans? Other than giving them a piece for a potential draft day trade, not at all. euphronius posted:People think philly will offer him the 4 year max I'd love to see Lowry come home to Philadelphia, but he's going to be 31 in a month so I think it would be pretty hard to justify a max deal. It seems that what the Sixers can spend this offseason has more to do with when they will need to extend Simmons and this year's draft picks. They obviously have plenty of money to spend, but they don't want any contracts that will interfere with future contracts. Four years from now math is not something I want to attempt. If that's not an issue, then sure, overpay for Lowry and Noel. They aren't spending it on anything else anyway.
