2016 NBA Finals — Warriors vs Cavaliers

in the background, you can faintly hear falsetto chants of "jones barbecue and foot massage, jones barbecue and foot massage"

dubs equipment manager seems like a really cool guy

Doesn't seem like a sweet gig to me, it looks really hard!

happy 15 year anniversary, coach lue

post-game interview with lue was not good, I felt bad for him

Even bullish executives didn't see this coming in 2011 -- a perceived lack of respect that still rankles Thompson. He came across as quiet, disinterested, lacking a hunger to broaden both his game and his life horizons. During his rookie season, the Warriors assigned him a book report on "Play Their Hearts Out," George Dohrmann's outstanding peek inside West Coast AAU basketball -- an attempt to coax Thompson out of his comfort zone, and "expand his mind beyond basketball," Lacob said.

Draft experts wondered if he was too slow to defend at a high level. "I'd read reports, and they'd say, 'His defense needs work, he's not quick, he can't stay in front of anybody,'" Thompson said. "And I'd be like, 'Are these guys even watching me play?'"

The intel on Thompson was so jumbled, the Spurs needed two private workouts before deciding to attempt trading up to get him. After one workout, Chip Engelland, the Spurs' shooting guru, told the front office something that made their hair stand on end, officials remember: Thompson's competitive nature reminded him of Manu Ginobili.

"There's something deep in there," Engelland recalled. "He has that chip. When you see it, you know it."

Thompson says heated competition with his athlete brothers, Mychel and Trayce, made losing at anything -- basketball, pingpong, whatever -- a searing, unpalatable personal failure. And he has always been a worker. Lacob once asked Thompson what he did for fun. Thompson simply responded, "I like to shoot." Lacob explained that he meant what Thompson did off the floor. Thompson shrugged and repeated himself: "I like to shoot."

the "i like to shoot" anecdote is priceless

lol

kawhi-esque

ah man the spurs almost traded up for him that just....

altho losing out on him is what probably allowed them to get kawhi, so

ya same draft

its ok im over it already

its cool u dont really need both of those guys or anything that wldnt be insanely unstoppable

i mean what im saying is i dont think the spurs would be able to trade for both anywayyyyy

ya i know i was saying the same thing, except what if they cldve?

i mean i guess if u wanna trade one of the big 3 that seems reasonable

hey btw the finals are happening and the warriors are winning it

hmm never heard of em tbh

im surprised, bay area billionaires are v fond of them they have even made some apps for them

oh im more of a rocky mountains billionaire tbh

nuggets will win the nba playoffs

do ppl even watch sporst in colorado now that they can smoke weed legally 420/7?

BREAKING: Dankver Nugs owner disbanding team, losing was "harshing his buzz"

Colorado Rapids selling all soccer balls for hacky sacks, going to sit out the next couple of seasons to find themselves

in colorado the main sports are climbing on rocks (for some reason? seems dangerous?) riding bikes and getting mad lifted

no joke my horrible fuckshit brother in law literally moved my wife's sister out to colorado to climb rocks

ya by my informal count ~50% of colorado residents relocated from texas to climb rocks and toke artisanal weed

i only know the southwestern part of colorado where my uncle lives but its good

he doesnt even smoke weed! literally just to climb rocks

he shd... .... .... smoke rocks, lol

we have very good friends in crestone there is a lot of rock climbing and toking happening there

there are rocks everywhere imo

so what are the cavs gonna do

is there any hope of anything but more blowout

surely they won't win the series, that is a fact but i just want to see one game won at this point

start delly and mozgov and sit love and kyrie

there are rocks everywhere imo

"lotta rocks around better climb em" --the human race which is fundamentally insane

i take the long way around instead of climbing the rocks which is called hiking and is very good

hiking is fine i mean a nice nature walk who cld have a problem with that

I wish JR Smith would go climb some rocks right about now. If he doesn't start hoisting soon I may go mad.

yeah the cavs just need to get to hoisting not sure what they are waiting for hoisting wins shampionships

otm gotta hoist

he should hoist rocks like rocky the iv, the man who hoisted rocks on his opponents to defeat communism

he should heed the example of rocky the iii who did not hoist rocks and instead got mr. t'd (technnical fouls)

yea more hoisting needs to happen, finishing around the rim on sloppy lay-ups is just not happening

just read the lowe klay piece and i forgot this fact completely:

Thompson holds a semi-tongue-in-cheek grudge against the Kings for daring to draft another shooter, Jimmer Fredette, over him

.......lol

start delly and mozgov and sit love and kyrie

seems like delly for sure needs more minutes, but i don't think you can realistically not start kyrie. superstar egos and all that

lue shd be like 'i didnt get murked by allen iverson to live thru this shit' and then show everyone the stigmata scars on his hands

yeah was just tongue in cheek xp since thats who they HAD to start last year and would have beat the dubs if they were healthy etc etc would be funny to have to revert to that

whats the status on love anyway? concussion or no?
