lol nice long con

haha

he should get a ring for winning and then have it taken away for also losing.

lol that's kind of amazing, how many guys played for both finals teams during that season?

jason thompson is the only other warrior i think. dahntay jones getting a ring would be so insulting

finals thread
2016 NBA Finals — Warriors vs Cavaliers

thanking you for not giving it the title it "i have something to say about the finals"

haha

highlight from my sonics-fan-turned-bandwagon-okc-fan friend's and my text thread from last night:

J:
Not into this brand of "basketball". ... Hoisters rule. You have two great hoisters. ... Let me know how your hoisters play against the East.

Spottie:
The cavs been hoisting more than the warriors btw

J:
Nope. They SHOOT threes, not jack them. There is a difference.
My game is gone.
Enjoy your game.

Spottie:
wtf are you on about?

J:
I don't like how your team plays, at all. I'm into tough, not cute. ... Bird/Payton, not Curry/Thompson. Enjoy.

Spottie:
why u gotta harsh my vibe

J:
Perhaps defense will return? Probably not. Hoisters rule.

get new friends

your friend disapproves of players making baskets?

xp nah he's fun to raz with. i lost a seahawks vs 49ers bet a couple years back to him and had to where his seahawks helmet at work for the whole day.

also pretty sure he is an alcoholic and he's always drunk during these text threads. he sends my a simple text saying "sorry." pretty much every morning after a game

xp apparently!

how dare they make fantastic unbelievable 3-point shots at a 45% rate

"Bird/Payton"

Nhex otm. You deserve better. And sometimes better is closer than you think...

Not that this has anything to do with anything, but sometimes I look at the halftime score and don't watch the rest of the game just because I care. So. Much.

who the fuck thinks bird and payton were the same era, unless he means walter payton

o wait seattle, he means sue bird

leee haha

yeah he def meant sue bird lol

what a hoopsdolt, hoisting is dope

"Hoisting" v "shooting 3s" a comparison not unlike Eddie Murphy "yea I FUCKED her...but I MAKE LOVE to you" reasoning

i'm only into dunks

I prefer bloopers

We're all a bunch of chucker chasers.

lmao

Champs, these?
Bitch, please
Anyone can hoist threes
It's shit basketball to me

lol

ok that exchange has sold me on wanting the dubs to win

everyday i'm hoistlin'

just because i didn't see much conversation about it in the media: though donovan's coaching was generally pretty astute, the decision to let Adams and Ibaka follow Steph and Klay to the perimeter in that last game was a terrible one.
after the spurs/dubs series, I have come around to Adams as an elite player and possibly top five center. curious to see if his body can stand up to the pain he's putting it through and deliver the same results in '17.

Adams had a good playoffs but idk if he's better than many of the other good centers that people forget about since they're on bad teams like vooch and gobert

http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/statistics/_/position/c

id def rather have adams than vuch or golbert his combination of mobility athleticism and finishing is perfect for todays nba, vooc cant defend and gobert is slow as heck

+obvs a total gamer

adams is great feel like he needs to add one more thing to his game to be elite. he prob could have some playmaking ability if he played on another team.

if he cld get his dive game stronger he cld be really good, he doesnt really explode out of the pnr like he cld, hed be unstoppable

yeah that's one he could add too.

hes reasonable in the pnr now but he often doesnt use his athleticism like he cld

feel like he's a younger version of current boguts.

I think it's unconscionable that you lot are praising a guy with a hipster mustache.

why is adams so bad in the advanced stats

advanced stats suck at evaluating centers also he wasn't that good until late in the season + playoffs

he was really inconsistent all year.

i always believed in him the archives will show

he rebounded at a much higher rate in the offs is the biggest thing

feel like he's a younger version of current boguts.
