THE 2017 NBA 'OFFS™

my fav outcome of this series wld be cavs winning via bron having the greatest finals performance ever, not cause im really rooting for the them just cause i wld like to see something like that, and it wld be cool to see the dubs lose after adding kd, i do not think thats whatll happen, i think the dubs will win in 5

this is a wise and correct take, altho i would wager warriors in 6

Looks like Bron is playing hard for GOAT status right now. Dubs in 4 or 5 would be a blow against his claim to the throne over the Ghost Of Chicago. Dubs in 6 or 7 would muddy the argument. Cavs victory would maybe cement it for him? All this is kinda pointless and hypothetical but I feel like it matters to the players when they're on the court.

the bron james is already the best player of all time

my desire for stephen a smith to be wrong again outweighs any feelings i have about either of these teams

if the cavs win, lebron is the GOAT.

all signs point towards >>> yes

as die-hard MJ fan, I've been saying what kev said. But no matter what Bron does from here out, MJ is more of an athletic genius. More skilled, greater impact on the game.

a funny thing thats happening is the warriors crying abt ppl liking competitive basketball, kd in particular is super defensive

shdve gone to boston bitch

KD's right, g∞n. Free agency and player salaries already have a shit load of restrictions trying to create more parity. Crappy management has more to do with it than unrestricted free agency.

yeah blaming the players for the system that was collectively bargained is a bad look

hmm yes

fwiw as long as u guys are going into well actually mode the the league tried to get the players to agree to salary smoothing which wldve paid the players, collectively, just as much but prevented teams from loading up while the cap bumped up but the players rejected it, so it is their fault, and its made the nba worse

dont let me stop u from caping for multimillion entertainers tho, theyre depending on yr defense

i am conflicted about it tbh, but i don't see how blaming individual stars for making crystal clear personal career decisions helps anything

there's probably a good takedown article to be written about how cp3 runs the union. seems like it benefits stars more than the average players

its just funny that it so obviously bothers kd that ppl are like the nba is boring now, he shd be able to deal with it its not that bad lol

awww

idk, i doubt he's that bothered. he's basically saying the right things, that ppl should suck it up and get used to it because it's not his problem. he probably gets asked the question 10x a day

hasn't league been on a less-competitive trend ever since expanding to 30 teams?

lol hmm xp

anyway the warriors r americas enemy now, and theyre being huge babies about it, i can understand why this might active mothering instincts, just the way it is

the warriors == isis

kd someone made a move that will both win him rings and tarnish his legacy, virtuoso pr

highest scoring margin of all time (so far)

series price still looks like -270 on warriors, borderline imo

there's probably a good takedown article to be written about how cp3 runs the union. seems like it benefits stars more than the average players

stars and high-draft rooks benefit and the middle class gets squeezed. same story in the nfl iirc.

the new supermax as a way of compensating the most elite players is a bandaid on the salary cap/max contract problem, and not a particularly good one.

i'm pretty w/e abt kd, like he's not a chill guy so he gives quotes like that so they love asking him the question and he remains unchill.

he.....mustve known this was gonna happen

did dray convince him he wld be americas sweatheart

doesn't matter. u can't just make an unchill guy chill.

yeah he's well known as a very sensitive and emo dude

shdve gone to boston where everyone is nice and beloved by the rest of the nation

The Celtics already have their beloved seven-footer. Nobody gets two.

kd recently admitted that hes 6-11 and hes been underreporting his height for years cause he didnt want to play power forward lol

lol really? thats funny

yup it was on a radio show

iirc KG did that in his younger days too

yeah part of the weird thing w/the OKC years was how durant would always walk hunched around and westbrook would wear these crazy lifts, so for years everyone thought durant was 6'2" and that westbrook was 7'4"

i think westbrook's game really exploded this year when he felt free to be his own height and Druant's psyche really improved when Dray told him to not be ashamed of being a tall man.

yeah i remember there were photos from the olympic team where kd was clearly slightly taller than boogie

if we have any poker fans in the house, haralabob is currently playing in a 300k buyin tournament and is sitting at the same table as kevin hart

streaming live here: twitch.tv/pokercentral

bless hart, he seems to love poker, but he is...not good lol

hart is a pokerstars endorser idk if theyre paying the whole 300 or what but he cld be free rolling fwiw

RIP bob lol

yeah that's abt as bad a situation you can be in

cldve folded

like what wld the other guy be bluffing with there

idk i prob call in that situation 9 times out of 10, but i am a pr mediocre live player lol

kevin hart's watch is intense
