NBA: Playoffs thread..

[resistanze]

I agree that he shouldn't have taken the bait, he's beefing waaaay down..

Pusha T is pathetic, but his desperate attempt to revive his dying career has worked for the moment..we'll see Drake's sale numbers next month, though, that's all that matters..nobody is going to remember Pusha T in 3 months..

Pusha only stands to gain from this. Drake had numbers with or without this beef...hubris bit him in the ass. He totally ignored Budden's 1000 disses, sidestepped Meek's ghostwriting allegations without a scratch. He just felt himself too much and thought he could scrap with a non-mainstream street dude with nothing to lose

The album sales might not be affected, but Push definitely ruined Drake's upcoming Adidas line. Now all anyone sees when they google "Adidon" is that picture of Drake in blackface.

This beef wasn't even originally about Drake, it was about Wayne and Birdman. Drake involved himself in it by questioning the authenticity of Pusha's drug-dealing past. So it's only natural that Pusha is going to respond by pointing out his ghostwriters (fake lyricist, fake rapper) and how he's a deadbeat dad (in contrast to his fake "good guy" image).

he been living off the most sensitive man in the game status ...now he trying to go blow for blow with a dude who sick with the pen ...

[Clipper Nation]

Also, Pusha's career isn't dying. He'll never match Drake's record sales, but Daytona was critically acclaimed. It's a really good album.

Can someone make a T-shirt with warriors logo as a big asterisk. I want to buy and wear it

LBJ had as many points as I did in overtime LEGAT

So you scored 2 pts on the overtime of the NBA finals? Impressive son.

[LkrFan]

Both teams had 18 fouls.

[LkrFan]

The officiating in the 2nd half was some of the worst I've seen in a looooong time..people generally overreact to Warriors' officiating(especially here) and use selective perception, but tonight was embarrassing..

Both teams had 18 fouls. Cavs (22) had more freebies than the Dubs (20). The Kang had a monster game and KD looked like the 8th Beatle.

Dubs didn't win in convincing fashion. The Cavs lost thru multiple bone headed mental lapses. Dubs capitalized. The Cavs will rue this loss. Vet Hill (former Sp*r) missed freebie was just as bad as JR's gaffe.

Refs sucked on both sides, like Chef getting fouled with no call in his building:

The Cavs blew a golden opportunity.

[LkrFan]

Inconvenient truth bombs for you farmers.

[ambchang]

CN and Amb cringing evert time Detail is mentioned...
btw Draymonds jumper is soooo broke.

...That play was LITERALLY an And1 for Curry. WTF?

-200 points for not watching the games son

[florige]

Pos of you JR Smith, those plays are series changing

I promise you if I were Lue I would bench that moron for the rest of the series. This series is over now because of that idiot. I'm surprised Lebron was as calm as he was. I would had been up in his face screaming at him after that mess.

[Killakobe81]

The ?

See CN's response, he got the joke ...

[hitmanyr2k]

Hill missing the freethrow and Jr failing to call the time out will be up there with Nick Anderson's missed freethrows. Probably is the reason why the Cavs will end up getting swept.

I'm really disappointed in Lebron's mentality on that last possession in the 4th. It didn't even seem like he was looking for his shot. He should have never put a Finals virgin like George Hill in that position to fail. When you have your offensive game working all damn night and it comes time to snatch a huge victory for your team Lebron should have taken on that responsibility and I expected him to because it seemed like his confidence was really high. With the game in the balance who in the do you want shooting the ball? A journeyman who's never seen the pressure of a Finals game in his entire career or the guy that's supposed to be arguably the G.O.A.T with a 6'2 midget guarding him? At some point he has to realize the right basketball play is him shooting the ball.

That's about as bad as when he used LeBron not getting back on offense as an example of his " ty" transition defense.

Don't agree. Make your free throws when you're an 80% shooter. Michael scored every point for the Bulls that quarter against the Suns until the Paxson shot.

Hey man - I deduct the points around these parts

Besides, you are blowing my cover (messing with these farmers)

LeBron made the right play and the ref made the right call. I think he didn't 'plan' to put Georgie on the line..

Shhhhh!

[Clipper Nation]

Shhhhh!

Remember when DK passed to Paxson and Kerr?

[Jules_Winnfield]

Shhhhh!

Wide open backdoor layup..

I LeBron drived the bal they'd put him on the line or get away with a no call (Christmas game).

I don't wanna se King James shooting clutch free throws.

[hitmanyr2k]

80% is all well and good in the regular season. It's a lot different when you have to make clutch free throws in the final seconds of an NBA Finals game. And Pax was a playoff/Finals veteran that had made numerous big shots. George Hill has never been at this stage and really wasn't having a good game at that point. You would think after being 3-5 in the Finals Lebron would go for broke at this stage in his career. He can't put his championship hopes on George Hill at that moment. That was his time and the best basketball play was him shooting the ball imo. If he makes that shot and the Cavs pull it out that goes down as a legendary "G.O.A.T" game.

[LkrFan]

[hitmanyr2k]

Remember when DK passed to Paxson and Kerr?

The difference is Paxson and Kerr had experience and were dead eye shooters lol. Jordan planned the play for Kerr to get the shot during the timeout because he had the IQ to know where the Jazz defenders were going to be when he got the ball. He had already hit a game winner earlier in the series so he knew the double-team was coming. That's why he's regarded as the G.O.A.T

Lebron in contrast held the ball for an eternity because it looked like he had no idea what to do and didn't want to shoot it. He stared down George Hill who cut but Klay Thompson saw what was going on and grabbed Hill before the ball even got there. Lebron has made the step-back shot a staple of his this entire playoffs. Why not trust it now? Curry sure as wasn't going to block it lol. He has no pressure. No one expects the Cavs to win this series. He was already having a great game where his confidence should have been high. Why not take that shot?
