Yo I'm a day late but dope photo and also it looks like hammon just convinced Danny of the power of the dark side

yall don't get too hyped about about al until you see him matched up against tristan

heez bringing the crew back down to earth :)

lol

538's "Favorites to win the Finals" projection seems a bit off

Warriors 83%
Spurs 5%
Cavaliers 5%
Celtics 4%

agreed i put it something like

BOSTON CELTICS 500%

xp maybe something to do with the cavs still not playing much defense?

it seems p close to me, what do ppl think it shd look like

if the warriors are healthy i don't think the cavs have a chance

id prob give the cavs most of the celtics points but something like

warriors 90%
cavs 5%
spurs 2%
rockets/wiz/celtics 1% each

that said at this point anything >80% is preposterous imo, literally anything can happen. there's 2 rounds left to play. steph could get hurt. etc

yeah injuries obvs the wildcard otherwise

warriors 97%
cavs 3%

lagoon wang

haha

i'd give lebron like a 25% shot at minimum in any series

if bron can pull this one off i will worship him as a god

even two years ago when his supporting cast was like delly and 5 guys over the age of 36 it seemed like he was going to beat the warriors! at least for like 3.5 games

and i hope he does i am praying for/to him

but the warriors have kevin durant this year

also the cavs cant play D

if LeBron wins again i'll buy a pair of Lonzo Ball's kicks

jordan otm

if lebron wins again i will start referring to everyone i meet as "lebron"

lebron has been in the past six finals and has won three of those finals

this analysis seems incomplete

lol

if LeBron wins again i'll call everyone LeBron and ask everyone to call me David Blatt

what ever happened to blatt btw i haven't thought of him in months

seeing durant curse out the jazz mascot for no reason reminded me of bron's first year in miami when he was embracing the villain role all year and then basically had a mental breakdown in the finals vs the mavs

i tend to agree w/ "durant makes the warriors practically unbeatable" but if steph is shaky in the finals again and klay kinda disappears, we'll see how KD reacts to this specific sort of pressure being put on his shoulders

[injury caveat here] cavs prob have a better chance of getting swept or missing the finals than winning

haha i made some good money on this series and tbh i was never worried. last year was different tho as steph was clearly not right and the cavs were healthier

The 2017 Euroleague playoffs are upon us. The new 30-game regular season was very successful in terms of week-to-week entertainment, and it helped narrow the field from 16 teams to eight. Now, a best-of-five series and two single-elimination victories stand between one team and a Euroleague title. Last year, that team was CSKA Moscow, who swept Crvena Zvezda, and then won two absolute wars with Lokomotiv Kuban and Fenerbahce to capture their third Euroleague championship.

They’re back to try to make it four this year, but first, they’ll have to run through what should be a deeper playoff field than we had last season. CSKA comes in as the No. 2 seed, and they’ll have to face off with fellow 2016 Final Four participant Baskonia in the first round. Real Madrid usurped the Russians as the top seed, riding a 14-2 run into the playoffs. They get “Blatt BC,” as David Blatt’s Darussafaka Dogus squad snuck into the playoffs on the final day with a win over Crvena Zvezda.

just asked my friend who places bets with a bookie and he says warriors have been hovering at -400 to win the finals for a while, which i still think is way too steep. i might look at it if it doesn't move for the finals tho

haha that dude was like fuck the nba im going back where im appreciated xp

that said at this point anything >80% is preposterous imo, literally anything can happen. there's 2 rounds left to play. steph could get hurt. etc

pretty much this

I'm seeing Warriors -300 on my book which scans as about right to me

i predict cavs beating celtics in 4

don't really see cavs missing the finals

nah theyll take a game prob

im gonna exit this conversation cause its going to make me root for the warriors so ill be right and i dont want to

looking forward to the Wizards/Rockets finals

anyway imo ppl are underrating this warriors team cause they kinda coasted through the regular season, which tbh was prob a mistake considering they had to incorporate a new star, but their talent level is just insane, if thin

there's a 0% chance of the cavs not making the fianls

in his new JVG pod, lowe was talking about how everyone thought initially that they had this huge hole at C, but javale, zaza and west have been legitimately good for them

it's such a good situation for our javale
