2016 NBA Finals — Warriors vs Cavaliers

dubs had a pretty good road record iirc

Yea well I'd vote GSW in 7 if it were an option

Agreed on warriors in 6

Nah, I think it'll be the Warriors in 6.

this is a hilarious idea, needs to happen imo

Dubs gotta have kelhani sing the national anthem for game 1 just to shake Kyrie

hope this goes 7, rooting for Warriors. The way they pulled it out last series forced my hand here, and tho I respect Lebron, I still find it hard to root for him.

torn, normally rooting for warriors but would also like to see Cavs win too
also want to see it go 7 but guessing Cleveland will lose out an extra game before 6

narrative of lebron ending 52-year championship drought in his hometown > narrative of warriors winning another championship for bay area billionaires (though i'd be happy for spottie and other bay area ilxors)

intrigue of cleveland's historic championship drought continuing >

haha i know it is intriguing

i woulda been going for the cavs had the thunder advanced. I'm into the narrative of the warriors silencing the doubters (again) that continue to doubt despite the evidence in front of their face by stamping a historic season.

it's pretty gross how this narrative of GSW's fans has eclipsed their historical fanbase

it is gross

gonna be even more gross when they move from Oakland

fwiw i'll take bay area billionaires over a loan shark that uses comic sans

yeah the funny thing about the joe lacob hate is that clay bennett and dan gilbert are roughly 1 million times worse for humanity than him

^^^^ seriously, ppl who complain about warriors fans are like a million times worse than whatever dot-com fairweather boogyman they invoke.

its mostly cuz when you watch the dubs games on tv the crowd shots are showing the front rows which are all these guys

"these guys"

thats the front row of every arena tho. also e40 has been front row in the offs!

the bay area billionaires (BABs)

so much worse than other billionaires, right? spottie otm

billionaire bros buying up all the upper level seats too or wtf . I wouldn't say it's cheap to go to a game but everyone that goes there is rich tho?

games sold out regularly during the monte era

I got too drunk at a concert I didn't want to be at and told an aggressive stranger that tried to give me a high five to "fuck off." He replied that he is "from the bay area" and so "will kick my ass". I was by far the worst person involved in this embarrassing interaction, but I can no longer cheer for the GSW as they remind me of my shame. So CLE in 6.

the warriors should move their team to libertarian island like all their rich fans want

perfect and sublime Cavs in 6

Sufjan, that guy doesn't make sense. Did he mean to say he's from the East Bay?

He may have said that, even. I can't really remember what was said. I only know what others told me he said at Shame Brunch.

but it's good to narrow down his location should I ever need to apologize and give him that high five. maybe facing my shame and cheering for GSW could be like a high five of atonement? yeah, I'm back on the GSW bandwagon. GSW in 6.

games sold out regularly during the monte era

True but they cost way less then

obv big jump after the championship

last game i went to at oracle was in 06 to see diogu play :/

There were at least four games where I thought Diogu might be good

i think i was there for one of them. back row and people were so pumped every time he touched the ball. cheering for him to come back in when he sat too

late to this but folks I am a Bay Area Billionaire and find this thread offensive please be mindful

im appointing you the ILH-BAB liaison

some of my best friends are Bay Area Millionaires who can only afford the 4 game bundle package please don't sully their enjoyment

how is BABy formed

$80 would get you a nosebleed at the garden, not an "average seat"

disruption of the supermarket checkout experience is how BABy formed

a man and a woman really like each other. they get together. they order tide by pressing a disruptive tide-ordering button.

but it's good to narrow down his location should I ever need to apologize and give him that high five. maybe facing my shame and cheering for GSW could be like a high five of atonement? yeah, I'm back on the GSW bandwagon. GSW in 6.

^^ The first time I've laughed since game 7, tbh.

lots of amazing moments in this series "that block" obv and kyrie's 3 at the end but really i think those few minutes at the end of g6 that included lebron's block on curry, trash talking him and then curry fouling out almost immediately after were my favorite

ive watched those clips like 30 times

i will never re-watch another second of that series.

^^^^

spottie = 2013 me
marcos = 2014 me
lagoon = 2027 me

ha

JR still no shirt, this is great

thinking this is prob a lifelong dream he promised himself if he won a ring

haaaa

Ok jr's shirtless rampage has won me over, I yield

Kerr otm

good on him

Kerr seems like such a good dude. And bob Myers too

Good to hear that from Kerr; balances out Lacob a little bit.

As he issued his invitation to Mr. Lue, Mr. Obama made clear that he, too, had firm notions of decorum.
“Tell J.R. and everybody to put on a shirt, though,” Mr. Obama said. J.R. Smith, a Cavaliers guard, was photographed bare-chested for days after the victory. “He can’t just be wandering around without a shirt for, like, the whole week.”

if he shows up at the white house shirtless i will lay down my life at at the altar of JR

yeah, though i am deeply displeased by the warrior's loss, JR's hijinx have been the one bright spot

otm xp
