Grizzlies have been kinda garbage without Gasol, he's due to miss the next game at least.

Eltoasto posted:Depends on the Bulls. The Pacers are about to lose 5 straight with Memphis, 2 against Toronto, Cleveland, and the Bucks. The Bulls close out the season playing 5 tanking teams in a row so yeah I didn't realize that. I guess it's probably likely that they make it with one of the Pacers or Heat dropping out because they have such higher quality opponents.

Lebron had as much to do with shutting down curry as love did on that play. Love still did a good job staying near him

Honestly I'm pretty sure both the 2016 and the 2013 finals are both S-Tier and that we got them within five years each other is a blessing.

An interesting thing to note about the 2016 finals was that so many of the games were blowouts... Cavaliers 89 - 104 Warriors Cavaliers 77 - 110 Warriors Warriors 90 - 120 Cavaliers Warriors 108 - 97 Cavaliers Cavaliers 112 - 97 Warriors Warriors 101 - 115 Cavaliers Cavaliers 93 - 89 Warriors Average margin of victory: 17.4 ...and yet it still felt compelling throughout. elime anning fucked around with this message at 00:37 on Mar 30, 2017 |

NickRoweFillea posted:Forgive me if I'm looking at it with rose tinted glasses, but is the 2016 NBA finals one of the best series we've ever seen? It had all the pleasure of 18-1 but dialed up to 11 because it was the team I like winning 3 in a row after being down 3-1 in the NBA Finals against the first unanimous MVP.

I would argue that aside from the pure quality of amazing basketball, you also have to have a great narrative to make it The Best, and 2016 had it in spades It was a rematch from the previous year's finals, the dude going for GOAT recognition vs. the team that had broken every record. Also, an inversion of the two years of LeBron v. Spurs The backstory of LeBron trying to demolish the Cleveland Sports Curse and it really looks like he's not going to be able to do it Industrial Manufacturing America vs. Silicon Valley It had continuity, it had drama, it had Draymond playing the villain with his nonstop ball-attacks Ahh there was so much to it. But it was an immediate all-time classic and we knew it at the time, like folks who watched the Red Sox come back on the Yankees is 2003 (2004?)

Yeah, the storyline was pretty great but a lot of the games weren't that fun to watch. (Besides game 7, which was incredible, granted). Wasn't the GSW-OKC series the same way? 7 game series, a ton of superstars, Steph's new shoes, but the games were just alternating blowouts.

Both the game and the overall series score was tied going into the final three minutes of game 7! Seriously if you were scripting the thing it would have felt like a bit much and they would have dialed it back

Soooooo I write for a little nothing website that wrote an article about Hinkie to the Kings. Today a marketing company contacted the author on behalf of the Kings and requested he include the tweet from Sam Amick about the Kings definitely not going after Sam Hinkie. So... The Kings are definitely going after Sam Hinkie. Spoeank fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Mar 30, 2017 |

Steph said in interviews after that he kept wanting to make that backbreaking 3 to get the crowd into it. aka he kept forcing his shot. Also he was probably scared of driving into the paint cause Lebron blocked him so many times
