i have something to say about the offs THE 2016 NBA PLAYOFFS

except when it doesnt go in

also like everyone was all THEY ARE RUNNING BACK BEFORE THE SHOT GOES IN but this is actually normal getting back on D basketball behavior

i mean more of curry doing a 360 in front of the opposing bench

i am doing normal basketball things while also raising my hands in the air THIS IS SO NUTS OMG MUST SHARE ONLINE

carne beat me to it

well u either look like a goat or the GOAT. no in-between

dray needs to finesse his trash talk and preening, those "trash talk 101" vids were just embarassing

the best thing abt the swaggy shot is he actually waited to see if it went in

I flex every time I submit a post to this board i didn't realize that wasn't cool

oh thats cool def goes w/o saying

I ain't got to flex, boy I got it, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

walked in 400 3s in my pocket

i think something else i consider when rooting for or against a team is the answer to the question does this city really NEED them to win like will they really appreciate it? i admit it is a very corny thing to do and every city has at least some die-hard loyal fans who would appreciate winning. but like when lebron went to miami i remember thinking "the fuck do you people care about winning an nba championship??? you are miami!!" it is part of the reason i find it fun to hate the lakers and why i have no problem rooting against golden state, like what does san francisco/bay area need a championship for? it also why i find it hard to hate a team like detroit even though i want the cavs to wipe them out this first round. it is also why i like the spurs, even though they have already won so many championships i just know that in san antonio they really appreciate that team

"like what does san francisco/bay area need a championship for?"

oakland tho, very different. also different sport you know? almost like me rooting against the Cavs cos of Ohio State

dubs have an extremely good hardcore fanbase that suffered through a lot of not great basketball and i salute their sucess

yea true

also in addition to it being very corny it is also based on like a one half of a cursory thought about a given cities' basketball fans so idk

never 4get http://grantland.com/features/how-annoy-fan-base-60-easy-steps/

dubs having the association w oakland while being named "golden state" and experiencing a region wide bandwagon wave and planning on moving to sf is an interesting study in identity

yea will be interesting when they move to sf

pretty sad about it tbh

the bay is kinda funny for the strength of its intra regional grudges, like ppl dont even acknowledge that sf is obvs the city at the center of the metro region lol

like even brooklyn or cambridge partisans arent gonna deny the primacy of manhattan and boston

if the dubs dont ditch golden state and put the city back on their jerseys upon moving contract them imo

the bay warriors
the city warriors

like u cant claim the whole state theres 4 other teams

official name the bay warriors, have the city on the home jerseys, ditch the copperplate IMHO FREE BRAND CONSULTATION

tho obvs theres some tension between the city and the bay but let it tense i say

yea will be interesting when they move to sf

In a way it's already happened. There are so many VC/tech types at games now. The crowds are different than the crowds five or ten years ago, at a lot of them are not Raiders/Athletics fans. Five years ago you didn't hear much talk about basketball in San Francisco or the peninsula.

it'll be stupid when they move to sf, fuck sf

the saturation coverage of steph curry does get tedious, like ok cool yes he did a crossover and hit a three, he does that most games, why can't we admire kemba walker for a day? tho curry has stimulated a ton of new interest in the nba and i now have a whole cadre of friends/acquaintances who never used to watch bball but now excitedly tune in to the dubs

the bay is kinda funny for the strength of its intra regional grudges, like ppl dont even acknowledge that sf is obvs the city at the center of the metro region lol

It's not even the biggest city by population in the Bay Area.

i anticipated this spurious argument and wld like to submit into evidence "brooklyn has more ppl than manhattan"

because kemba walker is doing things that about 100 other point guards in NBA history have done while steph is doing things no player has done before. if you want coverage of local stars, read local papers and websites

thanks for the tip m8

fun fact: magic johnson got more press than buck williams back in the day

there's so much fucking basketball content nowadays

i know so much about kemba walker and i've barely watched him play this year

lol

The Unbreakable Kemba Walker.

who's the most unknown star? like my dad doesn't follow hoops and knows who boogie cousins is, that's not the case in 1988. who's the buck williams or mitch richmond or whoever of today?

the guy with the highest value-to-name recognition ratio is probably millsap!

kyle lowry?

i follow basketball and wasn't aware of quite how good his stats were until very recently

lowry's a solid pick too but he played for the knicks so i'd bet more people probably know him than millsap

kyle lowry did not play for the knicks

wait yes he did *looks up*

huh wait who am i thinking of lol

not that i necessarily disagree w/ you tho i don't think any casual fan knows one more than the other
