Redgrendel2001: Sep 1, 2006; you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

Dude needs to go back and have them check a bit to the left after tonight

Rumor is that he's done for the series.

Not that it matters too much.

So you see now why it was necessary for KD to join the Last Alliance. LeBron 'Sauron' James will not be stopped unless all the forces of the West unite under one banner...

Without KD the Warriors would be beaten in 5. With KD...they have a chance to win in six.

Lebron dominating is acceptable because the east is a trash fire that no one cares about. Warriors kick puppies, lebron kicks mouses. No one is complaining to peta about mouses.

Yes it is, as we'll likely find out in a couple of years with GS. Lose two key players, the invincible becomes competitive. The only thing that can stop LeBron is literally time, it's beautiful and grotesque

Tyronn Lue is the luckiest person ever to luck into a team that just coaches itself to complete dominance.

Lue actually helped change the team's style of play mid-season in 2016 IIRC.

He has the respect of the locker room and he really pushed them to be better. He's very unsung, but a helluva coach.

MalarkeyToboggan: Jan 4, 2015

I don't like the possibility of having both the conference finals be a sweep since the NBA has set the start of the Finals on June 1st. That means over a week with no basketball if they both end up sweeping.

How will we cope?

Rick: Feb 23, 2004; When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Last year I watched hockey. It's kind of fun in the playoffs. Just refuse the white nationalist package that you get in the mail once your address has been flagged as a hockey watcher.

The best thing about playing basketball in 2017�if you have an overrated team full of mediocre players, Lebron is going to crush your soul no matter who you are and where you are.

Seriously. It is really not easy to get a team like that playing together, especially on the defensive end. So many egos to manage.
