Thursday Game Thread

[Robz4000]

Aka Dubs vs Celtics

Iggy just styled all over TD Garden tbh.

[DAF86]

Rockets-Suns might end up being more entertaining.

[D-Wade]

Damn Iggy still has plenty of athleticism :wow

[TimDunkem]

Marv Albert has lost it.

"Sammy O-Jelly"

"Joe L M-BEEEED"

[Robz4000]

God damn it's hard to get excited about this season at all. The title has already been decided and the Spurs are boring as fuck to watch without Kiwi and the brand of offense they're playing with.

[Mitch]

Might end up being the finals matchup, looks like Dubs are likely to ring again

[Robz4000]

:lmao Bulls at Lakers on national television

[TimDunkem]

Yeah. No one has a chance against the Dubs this season.

The only reason the Spurs could be competitive is due to the fact that they focus on defense first as well as the Kawhi factor, but it's a long shot. There's no way the antiquated offense Pop runs will be able to keep up with the barrage of threes and defense dismantling passing game the Dubs bring.

[daslicer]

:lmao Bulls at Lakers on national television

Lonzo is a very entertaining player.

[Robz4000]

Might have to change my opinion on Brown, dude has game.

[TimDunkem]

:lmao Marcus Dumb

[Robz4000]

And now he's hurt...

[TimDunkem]

Marcus Morris is the best Morris.

[daslicer]

Celtics are amazing defensively. They have athletes at every possession and can play smothering D.

[resistanze]

Playing D like '08 Celtics.

[TimDunkem]

Marcus Smart never fails to kill the Celtics' momentum.

[TimDunkem]

Marv Albert confusing Draymond for Igoudala now. Jesus Christ. :lol

[daslicer]

Marcus is the only player that shoots worse than Lonzo.

[TimDunkem]

Welp, Curry hit a 3 in the fourth. Here comes the part where the Celtics shit themselves.

[DAF86]

For as much shit as KD gets, I don't know if the Warriors would have won it all last season without him, and I don't know if they would be seen as such a juggernaut right now. Crazy to think this Warriors team could have been a one hit wonder.

[Robz4000]

:lmao Irving

[daslicer]

For as much shit as KD gets, I don't know if the Warriors would have won it all last season without him, and I don't know if they would be seen as such a juggernaut right now. Crazy to think this Warriors team could have been a one hit wonder.

I have said it for a while that Durant is their go to guy. When their offense gets bogged down he's the guy they turn to for easy buckets.

[TimDunkem]

Wtf was Kyrie thinking with that shot?

[daslicer]

Smart is giving this game to the Warriors.

[resistanze]

Marcus Dumbass

[TimDunkem]

Marcus Dumb kills the Celtics again. :lmao

He's literally killed the Celtics every time they have a chance of pulling away.

[TimDunkem]

Horford is the guy holding this team together, imo. When he's the focal point the team plays team ball and gets good shots.

No surprise that when they go away from him the team starts chucking and choking the game.

[UZER]

The Golden State Three Pointers

[DAF86]

Draw something up Stevens. Stop this Irving chucking.

[Robz4000]

:wow Celticref

[daslicer]

Warriors will go for a three.

[DAF86]

If Draymond or Iggy get the ball, I would foul.

[StrengthAndHonor]

Kyrie is so clutch.

[Clipper Nation]

Not impressed by Kyrie, tbh. He's not playing basketball right now, he's playing refball and getting rewarded for it.

[DAF86]

What was that play? :lol

[DAF86]

Rockets-Suns might end up being more entertaining.

Or maybe not. :lol

[Robz4000]

What was that play? :lol

Prolly thinking KD either ties it quickly or there's enough time to foul and let Boston choke at the line. Unfortunately for the Dubs they didn't.

[TimDunkem]

Imo, Kyrie's been playing well most of the season. He reverted back to being a chucker in this game though.

[Arcadian]

:lol worriers...faggots

[Robz4000]

At least if this is a Finals preview Boston would be capable of putting up a small fight. Still can't see it going more than 5.

[TimDunkem]

Always good to see these fucks lose. Well done, Celtics.

[DAF86]

Prolly thinking KD either ties it quickly or there's enough time to foul and let Boston choke at the line. Unfortunately for the Dubs they didn't.

Why not go for three then? Durant makes that there and Boston gets the last shot to either win it or go to OT.

Sorry but on that situation you either shoot the three or attack the basket hard.

[Clipper Nation]

At least if this is a Finals preview Boston would be capable of putting up a small fight. Still can't see it going more than 5.

Warriors would sweep a Finals against the Celtics. Wouldn't even be competitive, tbh.

[StrengthAndHonor]

88 points, 33% shooting. Brad Stevens is that dude.

[Bynumite]

Not impressed by Kyrie, tbh. He's not playing basketball right now, he's playing refball and getting rewarded for it.

Kyrie's refball kept LeCoon well over today's .500 record and allowed him to ring in Cleveland and saved his legacy. Show some gratitude gook.

[Bynumite]

Brad Stevens really exposing Pop for his senility:wakeup

[UZER]

Beating a dead horse, but dammit still can't believe KD is on the Warriors. :lol

[Robz4000]

Why not go for three then? Durant makes that there and Boston gets the last shot to either win it or go to OT.

Sorry but on that situation you either shoot the three or attack the basket hard.

That shot is generally a layup for Durbeta tbh, and they hadn't been shooting great from three all night; Boston is the best team at defending it iirc.

[DAF86]

Kyrie's refball kept LeCoon well over today's .500 record and allowed him to ring in Cleveland and saved his legacy. Show some gratitude gook.

That's funny 'cause everytime Irving played and Lebron didn't the Cavs would lose. It's funny because what happened in reality is the exact opposite of you what you said. Get it?

[StrengthAndHonor]

At least if this is a Finals preview Boston would be capable of putting up a small fight. Still can't see it going more than 5.
I like Boston but the Warriors are on another level. You cant rely on Tatum and Jaylen Brown for production come
playoff time.

[Robz4000]

Warriors would sweep a Finals against the Celtics. Wouldn't even be competitive, tbh.

Celtics really are their worst match up tbh, they can fluke out a win like they did tonight.

[Clipper Nation]

That's funny 'cause everytime Irving played and Lebron didn't the Cavs would lose. It's funny because what happened in reality is the exact opposite of you what you said. Get it?

LeBron also dominated the fourth quarters of Games 6 and 7 and led both teams in every statistical category. Meanwhile, Kyrie never made the fucking playoffs without LeBron holding his hand. But sure, he "saved LeBron's legacy" by making one shot after LeBron did all the hard work. :lol

[daslicer]

Celtics would push the Warriors to 6 or 7. They have athletes at every position that are good at switching defensively something that the Warriors are not used to dealing with.

[TimDunkem]

Brad Stevens really exposing Pop for his senility:wakeup
He goes with what works. He doesn't kill his team's chances by out-smarting himself micro-managing lineups, or not playing contributors because it "wouldn't be fair" to his older players.

[Bynumite]

LeBron also dominated the fourth quarters of Games 6 and 7 and led both teams in every statistical category. Meanwhile, Kyrie never made the fucking playoffs without LeBron holding his hand. But sure, he "saved LeBron's legacy" by making one shot after LeBron did all the hard work. :lol

The man averaged 27 PPG in the 2016 Finals and hit the shot to seal the title while LeCoon stood in the corner. Gook out here trying to rewrite history :lol

If Kyrie is so irrelevant to the Cavs success why are the Cavs struggling to stay over .500 and secure a playoff spot without him?

[FkLA]

CP0 and Frauden acting like they just won a championship bc they're dominating the Suns. :lol

[hater]

Kyrye carried leroids vs golden showers

He plays well vs them Showers

Still celts would not win more than 2 games in the playoffs

[TimDunkem]

Just imagine how salty LeBron would be if a Kyrie-led Celtics actually beat the Warriors in the Finals though. It would be glorious. :lol

4th quarter of Game 6:

Golden State cut the lead to nine at the end of the third quarter. James responded with 10 straight points for Cleveland. He either scored or assisted on the Cavs' first 19 points of the quarter. Only a technical free throw by Kyrie Irving broke that streak. He scored or assisted on 27 of 30 points in the fourth quarter before subbing out.

It was a dominant stretch in a pivotal time of the game. Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and the Warriors were charging, and James simply charged back harder.

4th quarter of Game 7:

LeBron scored 11 of the Cavs' 18 points and made The Block! on Iguodala.

But please, tell me more about how LeBron just "stood in the corner" while Kyrie won the Finals for him. Who's trying to rewrite history again? :lol

I would love that

I would root for the celtics although they are a white supremacist team

[Robz4000]

:lmao Houston has 70 points with 5 mins to go in the second quarter

[Clipper Nation]

:lmao Houston has 70 points with 5 mins to go in the second quarter
:lol Amazing that the Suns' "defense" managed to get worse after they fired Watson.

[Robz4000]

:lmao:lmao 90 points and counting. Is this an All Star game?!

[Arcadian]

90 points in a half. More than GSW scored all night.

[pgardn]

:lmao Houston has 70 points with 5 mins to go in the second quarter

90 at half?

Wtf...

[Robz4000]

Houston should go for 200 imo.

Take it easy on the guy. He has a condition that makes him always be on the wrong side of the spectrum. Always cheering for douchey sociopaths and fighting a lost cause.

[Clipper Nation]

:lmao:lmao 90 points and counting. Is this an All Star game?!
I mean, there's a reason even Lonzo Bust looked like an NBA player against this Suns team.

[Leetonidas]

Harden going for 50+ again watch

[Clipper Nation]

Harden going for 50+ again watch

He's getting all his flop calls, too. So much for the "Frauden Rule."

[SAGirl]

:lmao Houston has 70 points with 5 mins to go in the second quarter
:wow

[TimDunkem]

He's getting all his flop calls, too. So much for the "Frauden Rule."

Did anyone really think the rule would apply to him? Even Durant still swings his arms under players hands and gets to the line, and it's been a few years now since the so-called "Durant rule" was implemented.

[The Third Man]

He's getting all his flop calls, too. So much for the "Frauden Rule."


Show us on the doll where the bad man hurt you.

[140]

:lol Amazing that the Suns' "defense" managed to get worse after they fired Watson.

Gotta disagree with you there, allowing 90 points in a half is way more respectable than letting gonzo score almost 30 tbh
