Playoffs thread..

[Arcadian]

The annual predetermined Finals are all set.

Why even have a season?

[Bill_Brasky]

CP3 was literally the difference. Another fluke injury swings everything in the Warriors favor.

[HarlemHeat37]

Is Harden going to do anything? 2010s Karl Malone..

[lefty]

:lmao Kerr

[LkrFan]

Hack-a-Capela? :lmao

[RD2191]

:lol I'm out

[Clipper Nation]

Just embarrassing that this choker is being gifted LeBron's MVP because he cried hard enough for it. Really cheapens the award. Frauden is nothing without the refs.

[LkrFan]

Hack-a-Capela? :lmao

:lmao

[FkLA]

Front-running bitch magically becomes superhuman again after others do the heavy lifting and turn the tide. :lol

[Dex]

Note to Pop: This is how you use the Hack-A.

[Killakobe81]

Gordon is a smart driver ...uses his elbow in a much more subtle way than CP3/Harden ...but since they are stars they get away with blatant shoves but Gordon does it in atextbook manner shielding defenders without fouling

[Clipper Nation]

CP3 was literally the difference. Another fluke injury swings everything in the Warriors favor.

CP0 would have choked like he always does.

[lefty]

Ah smaller guys on KD

60% of the time, it works everytime

[Spurminator]

Hack-a-Capela? :lmao

Works better as Hack-apela

[monosylab1k]

If D’Antoni has any honor, he sends in Nene to dive at Durant’s knee

[LkrFan]

K to the MF'n D!!! :wow

[D-Wade]

Makes me sick that Harden will have an MVP

[HarlemHeat37]

Harden is such an embarrassment..this isn't as bad as last year(nothing will surpass that game 6 performance), but still pathetic..

[RD2191]

Hopefully the warriors plane goes down on the way back to Oakland.

[LkrFan]

Works better as Hack-apela

Thanks son. Hack-apple it is! :lmao

[lefty]

If D’Antoni has any honor, he sends in Nene to dive at Durant’s knee
:lol

[Clipper Nation]

K to the MF'n D!!! :wow

Where was this same energy from all you Durbeta stans in the rest of the series? Oh wait, that's right, Durbeta was choking and there was nothing to brag about. :lol

[Dex]

Well, looks like it Cavs and Warriors fucking AGAIN. :vomit:

On the plus side...D'Antoni is still an overrated coach. And James Harden is a choking bitch.

Actually feel bad for Paul...he didn't even get a chance to finish the job. But fuck him too, tbh.

[LkrFan]

KD shitting on CN :lol

[Killakobe81]

KD in rhythm now ...
Still think without Iggy he gonna have problems with Bron ... he really better pray Iggy can give 30 some mins of defense on Bron or he will struggle on offense and defense (obviously)

[Capt Bringdown]

Will the Cavs win a game?

[Thebesteva]

In real sports news: Vegas beat the Caps 6-4 in Game 1!

That’s an unbelievable story about Vegas

[LkrFan]

Where was this same energy from all you Durbeta stans in the rest of the series? Oh wait, that's right, Durbeta was choking and there was nothing to brag about. :lol

:lol

[AlexJones]

Nobody else is going to beat the Durant Warriors 3 times out of 7. It sucks that Houston is going to get labelled as losers after taking this to 7 and not having Paul to close

[Spurminator]

If Paul had played, he and Harden would have spent the entire 4th quarter passing the ball away to each other until the shot clock ran out.

[lefty]

Cavs vs Warriors rerererererererererematch

Harden isnt even having a bad game...

[FkLA]

Durbeta has been "brilliant" bc he "closed" the game when the Warriors only had a tiny 10 point lead. :cry

[LkrFan]

KD in rhythm now ...
Still think without Iggy he gonna have problems with Bron ... he really better pray Iggy can give 30 some mins of defense on Bron or he will struggle on offense and defense (obviously)

They saving Iggy for a tired LBJ.

[Clipper Nation]

KD in rhythm now ...

:lol It's easy for him to get in rhythm now after Curralpha won the game for him and took all the pressure off.

[Capt Bringdown]

LOL, Houston only now discovering that they don't have to shoot a 3 on every possession.

[Mitch]

:lmao

[FkLA]

Choke HARDen

[lefty]

Harden :lmao

[Barfunk]

What can you do? Teams are mind fucked by the Warriors....

[apalisoc_9]

Curry has been phenomenal. Id be pissed if I was him watching Durant take over after he won them the game.

Durant is the closer to 15 point leads.

[140]

:lmao frauden

[lefty]

Could have been 97 to 92

[AlexJones]

If Durant wins Finals MVP there is no god

[D-Wade]

Ariza totally shit the bed

[ducks]

Rockets coach should be fired

[Barfunk]

I honestly don't know what Kevin Durant was thinking joining this team....

[Capt Bringdown]

Gsw are giving them the 2

All game long...GS doesn't have a shot blocker, ffs.

[Dex]

Will the Cavs win a game?

Would actually be fun to see Lebron get swept again.

But the NBA would never allow it. Refs will make sure he wins one or two for "legacy" bullshit.

[ducks]

LOL, Houston only now discovering that they don't have to shoot a 3 on every possession.

[Killakobe81]

Poor ariza ...good kid but tough to return to a team after a performance like that ...
come on home to the Lakers aRZA we got 36 chambers for ya ..

[Clipper Nation]

I honestly don't know what Kevin Durant was thinking joining this team....

He was thinking that he's a beta bitch who needs to be carried.

[daslicer]

Lebron will get swept book it. Warriors wanted to do it last year but will definitely try to do it this year.

[hitmanyr2k]

The fuck is Webber talking about? Incredible defense? Houston just missed a ton of wide open shots :lol

[Strategic]

Pringles needs some viagra for Harden

[HarlemHeat37]

Damn, Ariza might be the conference finals version of the Starks game:lol

[Mitch]

Chef beats CP0 again :lol

I honestly don't know what Kevin Durant was thinking joining this team....

I think it's obvious at this point. He's a front-running bitch that shrinks if the Warriors don't have a comfortable lead.

Lebron will get swept book it. Warriors wanted to do it last year but will definitely try to do it this year.

Yall underestimating the Kang ...
he will not get swept ...
he wins at least one game for sure ...
I give him about a 25% chance to get two
15% to get three
5% chance he wins it and that only increases if Iggy's pusshole ass is out ...

[Dex]

1001299370896252929

:lol This is a historic, improbable chokejob by the Rockets, and their fans will still blame the refs instead of their fake-ass "MVP."

This is why the whole "shoot a bunch of threes and see what happens" mentality doesn't work.

When they stop going in...you are fucked.

[AlexJones]

Curry wins Finals MVP in game 5 at home. That's all I want

[AlexJones]

This is why the whole "shoot a bunch of threes and see what happens" mentality doesn't work.

And If you're the Spurs and you don't live by the 3, you get ousted in 5 without Curry.

[spurraider21]

Curry wins Finals MVP in game 5 at home. That's all I want
well you've gotten every fucking thing wrong for weeks now, so i guess cavs are winning

[HarlemHeat37]

Curry wins Finals MVP in game 5 at home. That's all I want

They gave it to a fucking role player who relied entirely on Curry creating offense for him in 2015, they aren't giving it to him now:lol

[Clipper Nation]

Curry wins Finals MVP in game 5 at home. That's all I want

:lol "Bruins are winning the Cup, Rockets are winning the Finals"

7 for 44 ...smh
Gotta love morey ball ...
Yall can dfend that shot all yu wannt when you had the lead and state started to run drive to the freaking basket those long misses led to transition 3's and layups ...

[Bynumite]

Durant gonna win another ring and FMVP at the expense of Lebron.

San Antonio cavfans so mad right now :lol

[Ghazi]

Just be happy for him (Durant) .. in June.. k Harlem? :)

[mudyez]

Curry talking about hurdles and obstacles....did he take a look at his stacked team? You could take off ANY of these players und replace him with me and they/we still would be favorites to win the Championship.

[Caltex2]

kd so ruined the league. hope this guy breaks a knee or something.

He didn't, the Rockets win this with better shooting or a healthy Chris Paul.

[Dex]

And If you're the Spurs and you don't live by the 3, you get ousted in 5 without Curry.

Hey, it worked long enough for us. At least we got open threes instead of Houston's iso, step-back, 16 seconds on the shot clock threes.

Mavs fans were glad that Terry decided to go nuclear for a Finals run, no?

[Spurs da champs]

It's simple if Rockets had CP3, they win in 6. Warriors get yet another asterisk title.

[ViceCity86]

Tough break with Paul injury, but Rockets choked like dogs.

[Killakobe81]

LeBron must be furious:lol

why? he still has a shot to win ...
you think anything he saw in this series means shit to him?
He aint harden ...who is great but not close to Bron.

[Barfunk]

If Lebron beats this team he is 2nd all time for sure.

[Clipper Nation]

Just be happy for him (Durant) .. in June.. k Harlem? :)

:lol You Durbeta fans had nothing to say until Curralpha won Game 7 for him and he could start stat-padding in garbage time.

[Spurs da champs]

Trevor Ariza was so bad tho...

[Spurs da champs]

If Lebron beats this team he is 2nd all time for sure.
Lmao 2nd? He'd be the unquestionable goat.

[LkrFan]

Manure chimes in:

1001304184887693313

Answer: yes - in 2010. They had LeGoat, Ray Ray, Battier, and the 2nd and 4th best players in 2003 draft. :)

[resistanze]

Hey, it worked long enough for us. At least we got open threes instead of Houston's iso, step-back, 16 seconds on the shot clock threes.


Did you mean 1.6 seconds? :lol

[LkrFan]

:lol You Durbeta fans had nothing to say until Curralpha won Game 7 for him and he could start stat-padding in garbage time.

They were down double digits at the half. KD had 10 of their 33 points in the 3rd (should have been 13). Whatchutalkinbout son? :lol

[Bynumite]

why? he still has a shot to win ...
you think anything he saw in this series means shit to him?
He aint harden ...who is great but not close to Bron.

You LeBronze fans have been watching too much eastern conference :lol

He has a shot :lmao 4-1 when Kyrie was there.

[Arcadian]

:lol Houston and Boston chucking their way out of a finals berth

[LkrFan]

Trevor Ariza was so bad tho...

So was Dr. Dray, shooting wise. Both had to D up potent offensive weapons- which took away from what little offense they had. It happens.

[Clipper Nation]

why? he still has a shot to win ...
you think anything he saw in this series means shit to him?
He aint harden ...who is great but not close to Bron.
:lol Look at the Cavs' roster outside of LeBron. If they win a single game this series, it will be the second-biggest upset in Finals history behind only 2016.

[Dex]

Did you mean 1.6 seconds? :lol

:lol Can't say you are wrong.

Houston tried to slow down their offense and limit Golden State's possessions, which is the right call.

However, if you are going to go late into the shot clock...you gotta get a good shot at the end of it.

[140]

:lol rockets blowing their load in the 1st half

[Killakobe81]

You LeBronze fans have been watching too much eastern conference :lol

He has a shot :lmao 4-1 when Kyrie was there.

Not a Lebron fan per se ...
But just respect his gangsta ...

[LkrFan]

Rockettes had only 5 players that scored? PATHETIC! :lmao

[Killakobe81]

Sucks that a geriatric Kyle Korver is the second-best player on his team. He might actually beat the Warriors this year if he was playing with real athletes instead of plumbers.

He might not win but he aint going out like no sucka ...

[LkrFan]

Rockets in 4
Warriors in 5
Blazers in 7
Jazz in 6

Raptors in 5
Celtics in 5(wouldn't be surprised if it goes entirely different than I expect, though)

How would Larry Bird fit in the modern game?

He would be Chandler Parsons, as I've been saying for years..

One of the biggest myths in the NBA is that Larry Bird was a great shooter..his career 3-point % was 37% on low volume:lol

[Killakobe81]

How would Larry Bird fit in the modern game?

Like a billionaire's version of Kyle Korver and joe ingles with Lebron's passing and Draymond green's rebounding ...
Or prime dirk with magic like vision.

[FkLA]

Durbeta's gonna go off in the Finals bc none of the the games will be close. What a fake ass faggot.

[LkrFan]

Warriors have made another Finals but the air of invincibility is gone imo. Rockets were a Chris Paul injury away from a potential upset. Rockets took them to the limit and made them look like mere mortals before Paul went down.

So teams need to stop being shook, fans need to quit their whining and just make moves. Warriors are beatable.

Not sure if its the end ...
But If they win this title I think they have less than 33% odds of a 3 peat ...injuries and lacksadaical play are creeping in to their performance on the regular...
that being said someone gotta come take it and i do think a defensivee physical team is the path rather than bombing 3s

Prior to this series I thought a 3 peat was pretty much guaranteed but the way this series went the Warriors look spent and on the verge of being finished like the '02 Lakers. I remember when the Lakers won in '02 I got the feeling they would be beaten next year simply because they didn't look so good against the Kings and should have lost that series if certain things went the other way ala game 6 refs and Kings choking in Game 7. The way the Warriors won this series was very similar to the way the Lakers won against the Kings in '02.

[spurraider21]

Rockets were just plain stupid. When you have a lead against the warriors try to build on it and let them try and shoot their way out. Where was the capella pick and roll in second half. Straight up retarded offense.

Prior to this series I thought a 3 peat was pretty much guaranteed but the way this series went the Warriors look spent and on the verge of being finished like the '02 Lakers. I remember when the Lakers won in '02 I got the feeling they would be beaten next year simply because they didn't look so good against the Kings and should have lost that series if certain things went the other way ala game 6 refs and Kings choking in Game 7. The way the Warriors won this series was very similar to the way the Lakers won against the Kings in '02.

exactly but I called it before this series ...
if you really break it down outside the third quarters, State was outplayed much of this series and the Rox are good not great. LeBron shouldnt be scared to come West he just needs to pick the right spot, even if its not my Lakers ...State wont be on top all that much longer at this rate ...Iggy and Steph are already injury prone ...

Thing is LeBron has 1-2 more years at this absolute level left at the very best, so he needs to find a team ready to take down GS next year with him. Their window seems a lot shorter than most imagined, but his window to beat them is arguably even shorter.

It might look bad and all, but I would rethink Houston if I was him. Not sure that Philly gets there next year, and for all the jokes about him I think D'Antoni has now proven to be heck of a coach, whereas Brett Brown seems clueless to me.

LBJ took defensive plays off all the time. That's how he can get away with playing 48 minutes. That's also why I posted a visual representation of his shitty transition D.

LBJ was a shitty defender in the playoffs, ranking 41st behind whiteboy all NBA defenders like:

One of them came in the third quarter, when, after throwing the ball away, James raced down court and made up for his mistake by thoroughly rejecting Terry Rozier's dunk attempt.

As if the block weren't enough, LeBron stayed down on that end of the court, staring down pretty much the entire arena as his team went back on offense.

No shit! Then he stared down the Celtics while the rest of his team got back on offense. How is that an example of LeBron coasting on transition defense? He had already made the defensive play, and his team wasn't on defense anymore at the time of the staredown.

You could have criticized him for not getting back on offense with the rest of his team, but instead, you came up with the shittiest take of the season. Congrats. :lol

They missed 37 3's and 27 in a row. If even 5 more go in, they win.

IF they magically changed the score at the end of the game, sure, but GS plays based on the score. If it was a 20pt deficit, Curry chucks more 3s. They don't run clock. You cannot just add the imaginary shots at the end of the game.

Here's where your whole argument falls apart: I hated Durbeta before he joined the Warriors. Joining that team just further confirmed my opinion that he was the ultimate beta.

Plus, the LeBron "template" has never involved choking against a 73-win team in the playoffs and then joining them. Durbeta created his own "template" with that weak move.

Slurps Lebron on the daily after he joined the Heat with Wade and Bosh, superteam... not 1, not 2, not 3, etc... The Heatles... yum yum

Then they bring in Ray Allen.

Yeah, Lebron had no help there for sure. He did that because he wanted the ring monkey off his back. Same with Durant.

Your bias is beyond reasoning. It's just pure ignorant fandom at this point. Lebron wouldn't go back to Cleveland without a stacked team.

[DMC]

Dwyane Wade - Franchise player
Chris Bosh - Franchise player
Ray Allen -Former franchise player
Kyrie Irving - Franchise player
Kevin Love - Franchise player

Curry - Franchise player
*crickets here*

Yeah I see your point, Clitoris.

[Chillen]

In all fairness to LeBron he joined the Heat because he was friends with Bosh and Wade. Durant's move to Warriors was the weakest move in NBA history. After his Thunder being up 3-1 to Warriors and than blowing it and losing to them he joined a 73-9 team he just lost to. 1 win away from the NBA finals. A real champion doesn't join a team that just beat him, a real champion gets better to defeat them.

Durant is a fake champion. Sure he is contributing this is sports but he has never led a team to an NBA title being the main guy. He has a loaded team to back him up. The Warriors 2015 NBA title was the most impressive of them all. No the Warriors are simply expected to win it all, having 4 all-stars on your team (5 with Iggy on a good day) will do that.

Yes, Kevin Love was a franchise player in Minny, as well as a gold medalist. Bosh was a franchise player in Toronto, as well as a gold medalist. Lebron joined his friends from the Olympics basically. Of course Kyrie was a franchise player. Who else did they have? He's one of the best PGs in the league.

LeBron had one season of a near-prime Wade. Then injuries and age started to catch up to Wade. Bosh was always overrated. Dude had some straight trash performances against Roy Hibbert. He scored zero points in Game 7 in 2013.

Of course Kyrie was a franchise player. Who else did they have? He's one of the best PGs in the league.
Bosh is the only one of the three who has even appeared in the playoffs without LeGOAT holding his hand, and even he has no series wins without LeGOAT. Before playing with LeGOAT, Love and Kyrie were padding empty stats on lottery teams.

If Kyrie was a franchise player, the Celtics and Cavs would never have made it as far as they did without him. Franchise players have an irreplaceable level of impact. The Celtics couldn't replace a franchise player with Terry Rozier and be one win away from the Finals; the Cavs couldn't replace a franchise player with George Hill and make the Finals.

Love is a complete joke at this point. He should try playing better than Kyle Korver first before getting hyped up as a franchise player.

What was Wade's near prime season you're referring to? Everyone is overrated according to you.

OKC couldn't replace KD with Carmelo and PG and be out in the first round.
:lol Your logic

Player A is traded to the Celtics
Celtics make the ECF without player A
Player A is therefore not a franchise level player

Apply that to the Warriors as well.

KD goes to the Warriors
The year prior, the Warriors made the Finals without him (and won 73 games)
KD is therefore not a franchise level player


You don't understand the term "franchise player". Before Lebron joined the Cavs, Kyrie was their franchise player. Kevin Love is the best player Minny's had other than KG. I suppose Wade also wasn't a franchise player. You'll knock anyone down to prop up someone who doesn't need you to do that.

[Clipper Nation]

What was Wade's near prime season you're referring to?
2010-11. After that, Wade kept having serious knee injuries.


You don't understand the term "franchise player". Before Lebron joined the Cavs, Kyrie was their franchise player.
And look at the results: 21-45, 24-58, 33-49.

Grasp at straws all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that neither the Big Three Heat or the Cavs are comparable to this Warriors team.
