lol

lot of sad normie basketball fans today!

the king of the alts has spoken

KEV WHAT IN THE ENTIRE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN

he's talking about me, the normie basketball fan. im sad, and also multiple people.

saw this retweeted by max r, i think this strategy is one the cavs should consider next season

feel like that can work maybe as a last minute out-of-timeout play, but after enough repetition it won't be effective bc teams will just be like "ok theyre running the kiss set, keep your eyes on the ball"

so eventually youd have to up the ante to distract the other team, like frenching or dick stroking or doing the "suck it" gesture from wwe's DX over and over again until you dislocate a shoulder.

congrats spottie and all ILH dubs fans!

the fans did it

finally, the fans get the acclaim they deserve

I'm the only person ever with a rat tail and a NBA championship! Let that sink in!🏆

anyway i think the 'KD ruined the NBA' takes are overblown, this season was kind of like a perfect storm, how often are you going to have a two-time MVP on the books for $12 million a year at the same time the cap jumps from 70 million to 94 million + a top 3 player in the world enters free agency. im glad it happened and we all saw it tbqh. i also dont think enough credit can be given to kerr to take essentially the same team that mark jackson had and to turn it into a dynasty.

i think it'll even itself out in next few years, dubs will lose livingston and maybe iguodala, they'll probably start getting injured too, bron, kyrie and paul george will join kawhi and lamarcus on the spurs to form a superteam, all will be well again

ya prob tho they cld easily sweep the finals for the next 3 years too

gotta see how they come out of the offseason and how they sign, also they've been v lucky with injuries past three years, also *whispering* curry looked like he's lost half a step and cld see him deteriorating over the course of next couple of years but also having the system they have will help mask that

hell compensate by dominating the glass

curious what moves the cavs will make this offseason, predictably there are already calls to get rid of love

idk man the warriors hating is a little corny and LCD espn-takey

LIKING SPORTS IN GENERAL IS NORMIE AND CORNY AND ESPN-TAKEY

also frankly had the cavs not blown game 3 this probably would have been the finals everyone was hoping for

LIKE THIS ENTIRE BOARD IS ENTIRELY YOUNG MEN SHIT TALKING ABOUT SPORTS HI WE ARE THE OPPRESSORS

xp

i think we can do better than "how can KD join the best team" takes

i can't, it's super lame and without precedent

clearly lebron going to the heat is a precedent!

ill always remember karl malone and gary payton joining the lakers lol

who won ? i feel asleep

fell*

lebron going to the heat was precedent, as was lebron leaving the heat and then engineering a trade for kevin love to join him w/ the cavs, tho that one gets overshadowed bcuz of the "all sins are forgiven so long as you go back home" thing

ill always remember karl malone and gary payton joining the lakers lol

lol that was the best

i was rooting for the cavs more bc i like surprises, but barring a cavs win i wanted a competitive series. we may have had one w/the dubs vs spurs if dray hadn't promised a tesla to the first guy who took out leonard.

i'm hoping next season or the one after is better when it comes to the postseason but i suspect the warriors are going to wipe out the rest of the league. you never know though.

next year's finals shld just be the warriors against the eastern conference all star team

dubs in six

lebron going to the heat was precedent, as was lebron leaving the heat and then engineering a trade for kevin love to join him w/ the cavs, tho that one gets overshadowed bcuz of the "all sins are forgiven so long as you go back home" thing

exactly

durant's ring-chasing is obv not unprecedented and on a personal level i am happy for him, he seems like a good dude unlike spoiled nba brats curry and thompson (j/k really) but what makes it corny imo was less him joining a 73-win team and more that OKC was up 3-1 in the wcf and instead of resolving to beat them the following year he decided it was too much work

i feel that but also "i'm tired of playing w/ this other really awesome player who wants the ball all the time" is a tale about as old as ring chasing

missing out on warriors-thunder II is def tough. that was an incredible series.

also its the same franchise that wouldn't spend on harden after making it to the finals so what are ya gonna do

cavs were a dumpster fire franchise before he came back.

im not bad at kevin durant exercising his rights as a free agent. but joining a 73-win team that was minutes away from back-to-back titles with a reigning back-to-back mvp and two other all-stars is substantively different than the heat or cavs situations.

blame the salary cap imo

i do, it was a perfect storm situation for sure. it still sucks.

exactly, I don't think the Durant situation compares to other superteam situations, particularly not the ones Lebron was involved with

w/durant the supposed mercenary aspect puts people off, which was the exact same deal w/lebron and bosh going to the heat. i think the diff is that to anyone outside their fan base curry, green, & thompson aren't really a likable bunch of dudes. and after awhile it seemed like people stopped caring about painting the heat as villains, maybe bc inherently those guys were more likable?

none of these guys are as bad as derek fisher using his kid's illness as a way to hunt for fresh championships iirc.

xposted obv

i think it's still p incredible that kerr took a lackluster underperforming team and turned them into a 73 win behemoth without any major acquisitions, really. that's the underreported story in all this. i love that mark jackson has had to announce all three of their finals runs

yeah that warms my heart

w/durant the supposed mercenary aspect puts people off, which was the exact same deal w/lebron and bosh going to the heat.

eh maybe, the difference is that the Heat were likely a .500 team without Lebron and Bosh. it wasn't like they decided to join forces with the best team in the league (which was the Cavs, lol), much less a historically great one like last year's Warriors.
