[spursistan]

Expecting the Warriors to be motivated for this one..they will probably make sure to blowout the Cavs who have been struggling lately..

[ambchang]

Hawks
Blazers
Bucks
Pelicans
Nuggets (both team suck)
Celtics
Warriors
Jazz
Clippers

[spursistan]

det Blazers D :lol

[spursistan]

The Sixers are actually a half way decent team, tbh..

[140]

Embiid killed the bucks in the 4th tbh

[Ball Buster]

Sixers look much better with Okafor on the bench

[140]

:wow holy shit that block

[spursistan]

Embiid completely shut down the paint on Giannis in the second half...only scored 2 of his 23 points after starting 9-11 FG in the first half..

[spursistan]

821128753531195399

Kinda agree..Giannis is legit but the hype train is starting to resemble AD's before last season.."The league will be his in next few years", "mutiple MVPs"etc..

[spursistan]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C2U-euBXAAE7a1b.jpg

Andre Drummond :lol..

[apalisoc_9]

Embiid is a monster. :lol

Actually looking forward to an NBA regular season game...

weird.

Go Cavs!!

[RD2191]

:lol cavs

[D-Wade]

:lol cavs

No rivalry

[Robz4000]

:lol the Dubs have committed six fouls already that the refs have blatantly ignored.

:lmao Durant allowed to punch Lebron to force a turnover

[John Petrucci]

:lol the Dubs have committed six fouls already that the refs have blatantly ignored.

:lmao Durant allowed to punch Lebron to force a turnover

Was about to comment on this. KD is allowed to do whatever he wants out there defensively. Now Irving is sitting because Zaza and Dray flopped.

Big run as soon as Javale enters game.

[RD2191]

Lol LeBron. No rivalry huh?

[D-Wade]

The Cavs didn't get the Korver that helped lead that 60 win Hawks team that's for sure... but maybe LBJ can work his magic again

[RD2191]

Curry just chucking shit up there.

[John Petrucci]

Damn Cavs look like shit. Tons of ridiculously open 3's for warriors and zero offensive flow on other end.

[Vokun]

Dubs literally just chucking 3s

[Robz4000]

Marv Albert sounds depressed every time the Dubs miss or Cavs score tbh.

[Robz4000]

Yeah, this one's over. Cavs look disinterested.

[D-Wade]

Korver is another defensive liability for the Cavs. They still need a D first backup PG

[resistanze]

LeBron's shot is so broken this year.

[Killakobe81]

No big deal for Cavs if they lose this meant more to State ...
Pretty sure they would like to keep the ownership of Dubs going but they won the last match up that truly mattered and the first one this season ...
What I would be concerned about is Korver.
Sure, he will help spacing but ever player he has defended ...is going at him even Iggy

[RD2191]

Lol gaymond

[RD2191]

Green should be tossed.

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Warriors trying sooooo hard to win Game 8 of their Finals against the Cavs. Meanwhile, it's just another January regular season game to the Kang. Non-issue.

[D-Wade]

STFU Webber

[140]

Raymond is such a faggot :lol

[Robz4000]

:lmao Webber going nuts trying to defend Raymond. It was a flagrant; there was no basketball play being made there.

[daslicer]

Lebron played it real well and baited Draymond again.

[John Petrucci]

Webber crying too much. That was a world class flop and should be rewarded with a flagrant 1.

LBJ got him again :lol

[RD2191]

Webber is such a faggot.

[Robz4000]

Would like to see the Cavs decide to take this game seriously and win. Won't be much smiling going on on the Dubs' bench then.

[RD2191]

Crofl at that all white/Asian crowd.

[Robz4000]

Of course, the refs won't let it happen.

[D-Wade]

Crofl at that all white/Asian crowd.

Oaktown's finest :lol

[John Petrucci]

:lol this stupid crowd so mad at LBJ for taking away their greatest season ever and turning it into a joke instead. Keep being mad at the King. 3-1 :lol

[RD2191]

LeBron choking

[140]

C:lolvs

[resistanze]

All these moron talking heads try to say Kyrie is 'clutch' for heroics in the last 2 minutes. The problem is, he's often brutal in the other 46 minutes :lol

[140]

kyrie and lolve are basically useless if lebron isn't playing well

[RD2191]

:lmao zaza faggot

[Killakobe81]

:lol Warriors trying sooooo hard to win Game 8 of their Finals against the Cavs. Meanwhile, it's just another January regular season game to the Kang. Non-issue.

I agree but like I said Korver can't defend any of the top 6 Warriors...he makes love look elite on defense. Other than giving a little confidence to State this game means nothing it's like the my Cowboys winning at Lambeau in the regular season...last night that mattered little Rodgers, like LeBron is just so good.

[John Petrucci]

All these moron talking heads try to say Kyrie is 'clutch' for heroics in the last 2 minutes. The problem is, he's often brutal in the other 46 minutes :lol

Tons of casuals literally think he's easily the best PG in the NBA. It's hilarious.

[RD2191]

Lol the servant. Too bad he never does this when it matters.

[John Petrucci]

Damn :lol League better be praying GS isn't healthy in the playoffs. Had to blow a 14 point 4th quarter lead in their first meeting to lose, and now this.

[FkLA]

Can't wait till Kawhi and co. show these bottom bitches who's their daddy, tbh.

[RD2191]

Curry has to be the flukiest player in NBA history.

[Clipper Nation]

Damn :lol League better be praying GS isn't healthy in the playoffs. Had to blow a 14 point 4th quarter lead in their first meeting to lose, and now this.
It's the regular season. Last I checked, Curry, Klaynus and Durbeta are all still huge choke artists in the playoffs.

[RD2191]

Can't wait till Kawhi and co. show these bottom bitches who's their daddy, tbh.

TBH

[140]

It's the regular season. Last I checked, Curry, Klaynus and Durbeta are all still huge choke artists in the playoffs.

[John Petrucci]

It's the regular season. Last I checked, Curry, Klaynus and Durbeta are all still huge choke artists in the playoffs.

Sure that's kinda true. I hope you're right. I honestly see them killing everyone though if they're healthy.

Just feels like they have too many options, so even if they take turns choking there will be at least one or two guys on fire.

[HarlemHeat37]

Damn, Warriors are terrifying, considering this is probably the first game all season where they have given maximum effort, tbh..

Only hope is the league continuing to target Draymond Green and suspending him in the playoffs..

[Raven]

78 point half? are you freaking kidding me?

[spursistan]

Expecting the Warriors to be motivated for this one..they will probably make sure to blowout the Cavs who have been struggling lately..

:wakeup

Kyrie has been godawful since he tweaked that hamstring in the Celtics game..Also Korver is going to be unpalayable in this matchup..

This reminded of the same regular season game when the Spurs got up to destroy the Heat at home after 6..

[Killakobe81]

Chuck observing the same thing I saw ...that is good coaching by State ...but they actually have the personnel to do it...expose Korver every minute he plays in this matchup.

[John Petrucci]

Damn, Warriors are terrifying, considering this is probably the first game all season where they have given maximum effort, tbh..

Only hope is the league continuing to target Draymond Green and suspending him in the playoffs..

That would be great. Hope he goes full Artest at some point.

[ElNono]

:lol

[apalisoc_9]

Only game I have been looking forward to and its a stinker :lol

When's the next big matchup?

[ducks]

Cavs beat gs 4 straight came back 14 in 4 against them Christmas and was pissed last game

[ducks]

Only game I have been looking forward to and its a stinker :lol

When's the next big matchup?
Cavs spurs Saturday

[spursistan]

Only game I have been looking forward to and its a stinker :lol

When's the next big matchup?

Might as well watch Hornets vs Celtics instead :lol..

Thunder (no Adams) vs Clips up next...

[spursistan]

Cavs depth is really shaky..This team is in big trouble if LBJ gets dinged up or lose a step from here on out..

[JoeTait75]

Fuck it, they owe the Cavaliers a beat down.

[spursistan]

:lol Warriors trying sooooo hard to win Game 8 of their Finals against the Cavs. Meanwhile, it's just another January regular season game to the Kang. Non-issue.
821178126914813953

Those faggots man! :lol

[RD2191]

Dubs have by far the douchiest fans in the league.

[Bynumite]

The FT differential and it's still a 30 point blowout :lmao

LeCoon better get on the phone with Silver and arrange another key suspension.

[Ball Buster]

C:lolVs getting their shit pushed in

[Robz4000]

:lol don't remember a fan base going from respectable to outright garbage this quick tbh. You can tell where all the Laker fans have gone (on top of all the hipsters, millennials, etc)...

[Bynumite]

:lol don't remember a fan base going from respectable to outright garbage this quick tbh. You can tell where all the Laker fans have gone (on top of all the hipsters, millennials, etc)...

At least they actually go to the arena to watch the team play.

[RD2191]

THAT WAS EMBARRASSING. LEBRON GETTING OLD.

[140]

821178126914813953

Those faggots man! :lol
Front running faggots :lol

[apalisoc_9]

I dont have any problem with warriors fans. They're actually better than the boring, lazy, fat, cliche fanbase than san antonio. "We don't care about regular season awards :cry" We don't care about regular season wins :cry...

Loud fans are great

Elitestest fatasses are awful (spursfans)

[140]

:lol don't remember a fan base going from respectable to outright garbage this quick tbh. You can tell where all the Laker fans have gone (on top of all the hipsters, millennials, etc)...
It's disgusting, tbh..

[Killakobe81]

Shumpert being useful on offense is a positive of this game for Cavs and he gets a layup as I type this

[Robz4000]

At least they actually go to the arena to watch the team play.

Spurs have the heaviest fanbase, not the most frontrunner. Kinda hard to go to games when you weigh 500 lbs and can't fit in one seat.

[Bynumite]

LeBeta's jumper still all kinds of hot trash i see.

[Robz4000]

Loud fans are great

The new-age Dubs fans are the most elitest in the league, by far. Especially when you consider most of them didn't watch basketball or rooted for another Cali team three years ago.

[Bynumite]

Team leader Kyrie obviously needs to takeover for LeCoon to have a chance.

[Strategic]

Or are the cavs baiting the w's into thinking they don't need to add inside help to ring?

[Bynumite]

Or are the cavs baiting the w's into thinking they don't need to add inside help to ring?

Straight out of the Senile Pop book, i mean CIA Pop.

[HarlemHeat37]

Cavs are playing with house money, tbh..can't see them being motivated enough to win again..

They just had the most impressive title win in NBA history and broke a 60+ year Cleveland drought, can't imagine a team being hungry enough to repeat after that(not to mention GS was a better team, anyways)..

Key suspension and key injuries. Yeah, that chain of events is definitely hard to repeat.

[John Petrucci]

KD's defense has just been awesome at times this year. So weird to see him giving that kind of effort so consistently.

I hate his move to go to GS, but can't help but respect his new found commitment to consistent D.

[Killakobe81]

Only reason to think cavs can repeat is?betting on J as message if it's close Kyrie is clutch and his handles are amazing...but as good as he can be only LeBron can deliver a repeat

[Killakobe81]

Kyrie giving Steph the Korver treatment

[John Petrucci]

Key suspension and key injuries. Yeah, that chain of events is definitely hard to repeat.

Absolutely took a ton of luck. Hard to see them winning again unless some other big trade is made.

[apalisoc_9]

:lmao

Kawhi is going to leave that shithole

[apalisoc_9]

They still watch the games. A fanbase value is directly related to the kind of environment they create in a staduim and the influence they have on player recognition.

San Antonio is a 60+ win team who is only 2.5 years removed from a ring, yet At&t is not even a top 10 arena and they could barely get their superstar to start a silly all-star game.

Face it, outside of the hardcore fans in spurstalk (many of which dont even live in San Antonio)..the san antonio fanbase in general.is lame.

I don't care if they're lame or not, this isn't about that. This is about how a strong fanbase with good fans became a huge bandwagon full of fair-weather fans with no knowledge of the game that disrespect everything about the NBA we used to like/still enjoy. We saw a similar happening with the Heatles but never to this obnoxious level.

[ElNono]

Dubs finally win game #9 of the Finals, tbh...

[313]

821182483207229440

35 5 4 tonight

[Killakobe81]

821182483207229440

35 5 4 tonight

He wanted to be a Laker we were busy chasing Melo ...which I was strongly against chasing

[Robz4000]

All I hear from most commentators/journalists/talking heads is "when the Warriors make it to the Finals", "when these teams meet up in the Finals" etc. I'm not a believer in the Spurs and obviously the Dubs should be favored, but God damn not even the Heat got this much blatant favoritism.

[Ice009]

At least they actually go to the arena to watch the team play.

lol. Very good point. I hate seeing that weak ass crowd in SA. The fans don't deserve the team to stay in SA if they can't fill the seats when they have a winning team.

[Ball Buster]

:cryGolden State trying all hard for this game
:cry the Cavaliers were just trying to play like gentlemen for the fans like true professionals

[timtonymanu]

Well even the pre game ads call this matchup Round 2. The league is hoping they get a 3peat matchup which is very much realistic with the way the league looks. I think the Spurs match up pretty well with Golden State but Pop is a playoff liability these days on top of the other problems the Spurs have.

[Ice009]

He wanted to be a Laker we were busy chasing Melo ...which I was strongly against chasing

I wanted him on the Spurs. Everyone fucked up passing on this guy.

[Ice009]

Anyone think the Cavs have a chance against them in a finals match-up this time around, or is it up to a Western Conference team to beat them?

[Robz4000]

Cavs can win imo; said a couple weeks ago they'd be favored but it'll depend on their health. Already at this point Love and Irving are breaking down while no one knows what shape JR Smith will be in.

What's wrong with JR? I know he's out, but I didn't care enough to find out what his injury is.

[Robz4000]

What's wrong with JR? I know he's out, but I didn't care enough to find out what his injury is.

Broke his hand, but even before the injury he wasn't looking good at all; supposedly he has a lot of off-court issues going on on top of his daughter being born extremely premature.

[Robz4000]

Both of these teams would cuck the Spurs in a 7 game series tbh. Not sure how everyone upstairs thinks the Spurs would make easy work of OKC with all their athleticism, even without Durant.

[RD2191]

I could easily see okc bouncing us in the 2nd round.

[ViceCity86]

You get the feeling the 2017 NBA Finals will be like 2014 Finals. Anticlimactic.

[Robz4000]

You get the feeling the 2017 NBA Finals will be like 2013 Finals. Anticlimactic.

You mean 2014?

[ViceCity86]

Yes :lol

[ViceCity86]

If rematch happens, Lebron better play like games 5-7 for the entire series. Any close game up for grabs in the final 2 minutes, they better win, or it'll be over quick.

[Robz4000]

CP0 hurt again.

[gambit1990]

it was hard for me to tell what happened to cp3.

[Robz4000]

it was hard for me to tell what happened to cp3.

Hand injury

[gambit1990]

he hurt his left hand? looked like it hit westbrook's thigh awkwardly.

821215159431462912

Looks like CP3 has broken that hand again..damn..

[spursistan]

821215982677094401

[Clipper Nation]

Just blow this team up already. Even ignoring the playoff chokes, they are incapable of staying healthy for longer than five minutes anymore. Doc has to go first, though.

[spursistan]

821217569667366913

Not the worst of news..

[Robz4000]

821217569667366913

Not the worst of news..

Too soon to know the extent. Not a break but could be a fracture; an MRI will tell the full story. If he misses 2-4 weeks the Clippers won't be getting a Top 4 seed, and in that case may tank to face the Spurs in the first round.

[Robz4000]

Forgot that Griffin is about to come back. With how good Felton has looked CP0's injury could be a blessing in disguise.

[da_suns_fan]

Joe Johnson, Boris Diaw and Leandro Barbosa played on the Suns home floor tonight.

Try to imagine how surreal that is for me. Pretty sure these are the only guys left in the league who played under Mike D'Antoni in Phoenix.

[Kawhitstorm]

LeBron's shot is so broken this year.

He's shooting 7% better than last season from 3.:lol

[Kawhitstorm]

All these moron talking heads try to say Kyrie is 'clutch' for heroics in the last 2 minutes. The problem is, he's often brutal in the other 46 minutes :lol

They got RAPED when he was off the floor.:wakeup (LeBron/Kyrie NEED each other)

[Kawhitstorm]

Muphuckas are post 2014 Pop status.:lol

[Kawhitstorm]

But...but...but....D'Bust is going to be a star.:cry

[Kawhitstorm]

Forgot that Griffin is about to come back. With how good Felton has looked CP0's injury could be a blessing in disguise.

Blake won't be back until the end of the month & he won't be a 100% for about 2 weeks so that would 1 month before they get MVP Blake. Besides, their cupcake schedule is over & they are going to have a bunch of road games so the timing is bad if he's out for 2 weeks.

Although, they shouldn't be any lower than the 5th seed unless they lose every game.:lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Man, I miss mid-2000's basketball. So many good rivalries back then.

Yep, very uncomfortable watching some of that last nite, da. Like it was 30 years ago, or, another lifetime.

[Killakobe81]

But...but...but....D'Bust is going to be a star.:cry

That was before dangelo so has nada to do with my post

[TD 21]

The second the Christmas day game ended, I knew a start to finish blowout was coming in this game. There's this notion that it's those two and everyone else, but that's not true: unfortunately, it's the Warriors and everyone else.

In truth, you could make a strong argument that the Spurs are the 2nd best team in the league, at least in the regular season. The Cavaliers team metrics aren't impressive at all, yet it's seemingly overlooked because they capitalized on a litany of breaks last season to win the championship. I'd give them slightly better odds than the Spurs, just because they're far more likely to be in the Finals and have the best player in the world, but they're probably in the same class, along with a healthy Clippers.

The Cavs have two guys that could drop 40+ & takeover a playoff game plus shooters that can bomb out a team when they get hot. The Spurs have two guy that could drop 40 but LMA can be slowed down by double teams & Danny is the only guy that plays major minutes who can kill a team w/ his outside shooting (Patty/Manu can't play more than 20 minutes against the Duds).

Another thing the Cavs have is Tristan Thompson who can switch out on the PnRs, I can't say the same for Pau.:lol

All true, but the Spurs are significantly better defensively and for right now, at least (we'll see who the Cavs get to be their backup PG and depth big), deeper.

Like I said, I'd give them slightly better odds, but I don't actually think they're in another class overall.

Tier 1: Warriors

Tier 2: Cavaliers, Spurs, Clippers

Tier 3: Rockets, Raptors

[Robz4000]

Anyone hear anything about CP0's MRI?

Fair points but because cavs have the best player of any of those teams they get a slight edge over Spurs ..
Lol ...Clips? Lump them with Rox and Raptors ...done with those studio gangstas ...they look good but fail when it matters.They were my dark horse final contenders 2 straight years and haven't even come close

Curry/Gaymond owning Choke-P/Blake is basically checkmate especially when they don't have to guard Moute & DeAndre can't score in the post.

I gave the Cavs a slight edge because of James and the lack of a viable alternative to them in the East.

A healthy Clippers has superior star star power, experience and defense, to the Rockets and Raptors.

Even in a best of 7, the better team doesn't always win. They were the better team then and they are now.

Obviously, health goes without saying for any team.

Cavs are playing with house money, tbh..can't see them being motivated enough to win again..

They just had the most impressive title win in NBA history and broke a 60+ year Cleveland drought, can't imagine a team being hungry enough to repeat after that(not to mention GS was a better team, anyways)..

What would a Spurs fan and especially you know about repeating?

Well, if you are talking about repeating the same ole bullshit posts year after year then of course, Spurs fans are the Crown Jewels of repeating.

Basketball wise... :lmao

About as much as you'd know about walking I guess?

I've probably walked and run more miles than you have ever dreamed of. You should probably talk about something you actually know about. You know, like how soft you have to be to have 5 titles and not defend a single one.

Thanks for the predictable "I have no reasonable retort" so I'll go with a grade school reply. So juvenile and typical but certainly YOU. :toast

Why would I need to dream about walking or running? I can just get up and do it tbh. It's pretty nice actually.

You obviously don't comprehend the comment. Not unexpected. And again, with an immature and juvenile response. Totally expected and ever so predictable.

Care to discuss the actual topic that was brought up? I'm guessing not.

Repeating is a lot like the act of using your legs tbh; in that respect you wouldn't know much about the topic either.

You really are quite the idiot. I use my legs everyday. Go figure.

And I also played on several basketball teams that have repeated, threepeated and even fourpeated. And I am an ardent fan of a team and watched them in person repeat and threepeat numerous times. You know, the true test of a champion.

So let's hear your experience with respect to the topic.

I'm predicting yet another juvenile response with no mention of the actual topic or none at all since it's obviously a touchy subject for you. :)

Have a good night! :toast

Why are you talking about the NBA? You played in there?
