Series Thread: NBA Finals. Cleveland vs. Golden State...

[DorianRo]

Barkley seems a lot smarter than some posters around here. Hes right.. Lebron just does not COMPETE like MJ. Huge game tonight and dude only shot 13 times, didn't play lick of D for 4 games?

Its a slap in the face to the most alpha competitor in History being compared to some BETA like James

This game was over right from the start when GS came out shooting lights out. It was just a matter of time from that point because they knew right then they were dialed in and could jump out whenever they needed to. Cleveland cut it a couple of times but the Dubs would pull away again immediately. Then Cleveland just quit somewhere in the 2nd quarter. Can't say I blame them. There was no point.

Curry should have won MVP though. He is the engine that drives this team. Durant was fantastic but its Curry that makes it all go. It's ridiculous that he doesn't have at least one Finals MVP. He should have been MVP in 2015 (people really overvalued just how much Iggy played D on Lebron) and he should have had one here. He was better in game 1, great in game 2, had that stinker in game 3 sure, but set the tone and torched the place in game 4. With KD's game 3 it makes it close but the edge should go to Curry just because of what he's meant for the entire run.

Funny how he throws that brace on for the interview. Very convenient for the 3-6 BETA

I'm indifferent on the Finals MVP discussion. Although in game 2, Durant was what was carrying the Dubs up until the 4th quarter, when Curry just went off from 3. Either way, I think in Curry's case, he shouldn't need validation with any Finals MVP award. Completely agree on 2015 though.

Oh I don't think he needs validation. I'm just saying for fan talk perspective. He's got rings and two MVP trophies (including the first ever unanimous). I'm sure he looks at his trophy case and never feels like he's missing something

Yeah those 3 rings are mighty impressive. Three titles in four years is ridiculous. And it could potentially be a 3-peat that hasn't happened since 2000-2002.

Whatever. If it weren't for a wet spot on the floor it would have been 4 straight.

Don't forget a well placed ballsack.

Let the haters cry, it makes this run so much better. We the Patriots now.

 

[gohusk]

There was nothing wrong with his press conference.

What, showing up in a cast and making sure it was pointed out, pulling the same I'm bigger than any franchise with his lame where is he going to be next year act, and talking whatever "cerebral" bs he was talking about.

He's done. Nobody's buying his line of BS anymore. He's one of the greatest but if it weren't for his ego he could hav easily been the greatest. It's always been about what can a franchise do for me vs. the opposite.

 

[msgkings322]

I had a feeling the Cavs would quit.

Same as your feeling the Rockets were the better team or nah?

So glad my team's not in real contention right now. I'd be beyond pissed right now at the Warriors if that were the case.

Yeah, I was stressed about this one because the Rockets were a team that was capable of beating them but the 3 titles makes up for all the misery. 1 title for each decade of rooting for a broken down bus.

You seem to be in more asshole mode lately.......I like this new you. Please keep it up, sir.

@CitySushi, @msgkings322, @bksballer89, @TurnUpTheHeat, and anybody else:

I own Wiggy's avatar for the next 2 weeks. Taking all suggestions here.

He owes me a week too but whatever, I get the feeling he won't post here for a long time

 

[DorianRo]

Rodney Hood took the most FGA for the Cavs. BWAHAHAHAHA

Fuckin BETA dude

 

[Heatles84]

@msgkings322 @CitySushi @Hambombs @Robotech @LAD

Congrats on the dynasty

 

[Heatles84]

He'll post after about a week. Once Lebron leaves Cleveland, he'll be gone.

 

[msgkings322]

The Bulls got over the Pistons because they got old, dumbass.

Curry's the oldest player on the Warriors star players, and he's 30.

Holy fuck you're literally the dumbest poster alive. Your idiocy is borderline offensive.

I honestly can't figure out if

a) he's trolling, doesn't believe his stupidity
b) he's sane and actually believes it
c) he has mental problems and believes it

It's gotta be a or c right?

When the W's have it going they're like a swarm of bees. They have stud players but they play like a team and guy's are expected to make the right decisions when they have the ball in their hands and make it quick. None of that stupid waste 10 seconds for people to clear a driving lane.

Oh please I'm always bringing the lumber on Monty, that's how I relax. The other Ron Swanson avi dude was just putting up smack and I was smacking back.
