2015 NBA Thread: I felt a great disturbance in the trolls, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. (2 Viewers)

Good point since game 3 didn't happen. 

The Warriors didn't care about game 3, but nice try.

NBA Conspiracy gets a lot of life tonight. Green has been a penis hunter in the playoffs but ti just seems to easy for them to have done this. 

Too easy for whom to do what?

In just these playoffs, Green has delivered a knee to the nuts, kick to the nuts, slap to the nuts, and a WWF take-down.  Sorry but there's no conspiracy needed to tell him to take a seat for 1 game.

I mentioned he was a penis hunter, let's not just pick and choose what we want to read here.

Game 1 and Game 2, where do we draw the line?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

The Cavs were/are like the Utah Jazz in the mid 90s, yeah they cut it to 3-2 in the series but...

 

[Abraham]

Game 1 and Game 2, where do we draw the line?

You said the cavs couldn't beat a "fully stocked" warriors team.  They did in game 3. There is no line, you were simply wrong.

I'm missing it big guy, when did this become a 1 game winner take all? It's a 7 game series and was about to close in 5.

If Kerr and the Warriors don't give a crap about game 3s, they aren't fully stocked.

Of course, anyone can get lucky one game hence the Jazz reference in the mid 90s, were they ever as good as Chicago? That's why they play a 7 game series, to ensure the better team wins and its not a fluke...and to make lots of money with extended series. 

 

[No. 16]

This is the dumbest idea on Earth. Every coach tries to win each game in the playoffs.

Please stop with this nonsense. You're making the rest of Dub Nation look like idiots.

So did the Warriors get lucky last season winning 4 games against a non "stocked" cavs team that had the clearly best player in the series?

Not bad. I was hoping for something more Draymond nut sackish, but LeBron hate seems thread appropriate today.

Barnes an impressive 2-for-14. Get that man a max contract 

When Klay Thompson was 24 he finished the season going 3-11 and 4-11 in the final two games of the Warriors' epic first round matchup with the Clippers, which the Warriors lost in 7. That offseason the Warriors turned down a Kevin Love trade offer and handed Thompson a 4/$70 extension instead.

Warriors fans are probably happy their front office didn't make personnel decisions based on tiny playoff sample sizes.

Not to mention that there is probably 30 "max contracts" worth of cap room out there and Barnes will likely be low on the list of those undeserving. 

 

[TobiasFunke]

Yes, also that.

The real problem here is the individual salary caps. They need to be adjusted upwards significantly, if not abolished, now that the team caps are skyrocketing. "Max contract player" going forward will basically mean "above average starter."

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Lebron is one of those subjects that makes me glad the Earth will eventually be hit by an asteroid that will end all life.

 

[kevzilla]

Draymond will stop the asteroid by kicking it in the jimmy.

Well, duh.  

Luck has played a large role in GSW's run to back-to-back titles, not the least of which was getting to face LeBron in the Finals both years.

Minny homers; any response to the talk of the Wolves moving the 5th overall for Jimmy Butler?

That's funny you claim to be part of Dub Nation and don't know them well enough to see how different they played especially on defense.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Curry has looked less then mortal. He should be getting crushed. 

 

[GOB]

Minny homers; any response to the talk of the Wolves moving the 5th overall for Jimmy Butler? 

They would have to add a lot more to get him but I would trade everyone not named KAT or Wiggins to get him.

Twolves are going to look great watching Orlando celebrate several titles in the years to come.

 

[Cliff Clavin]

Definitely not clutch. 

 

[Long Ball Larry]

I am not a homer, but it looked like a ridiculous idea to me. 

 

[Jayrod]

Curry has looked less then mortal. He should be getting crushed. 

I don't think he's right physically.  A couple of shots he took last night appeared rushed, like he wasn't able to get his body squared and elevate like normal.  Maybe it is just the additional attention/pressure, but I find it hard to believe that teams weren't selling out to get to him before.

locally sports talk has been all over this, they say you can tell it's his knee by the way he comes off of screens. Normally he comes around and squares up with the ball ready to shoot but currently he is rounding his turns which is slower/wider and allowing the D to close up on him.

 

[stbugs]

Yeah, Curry doesn't look 100% at all.

 

[coyote5]

Yeah, Curry doesn't look 100% at all.

Their luck was bound to run out at some point.

 

[Cliff Clavin]

MJ would play through the pain and not let his team down like Curry is doing.

 

[DrJ]

MJ would play through the pain and not let his team down like Curry is doing.

MJ wouldn't have felt any pain.

 

[Abraham]

MJ would play through the pain and not let his team down like Curry is doing.

So would Lebron. 

 

[Jayrod]

MJ would play through the pain and not let his team down like Curry is doing.

He'd play better with an injury as it would allow him to focus harder.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Who wins in a fight between MJ and Chuck Norris?

Wait: MJ has just finished a fight with Mike Ditka.

 

[SWC]

there is not a list of extinct animals brohans what there is actually is a list of animals that pissed off michael jordan take that to there will never be a list of animals that pissed off stef curry bank bromigos

Was the MJ/Ditka fight under Highlander rules? This might affect my answer.

It was a trick question, MJ/Ditka would never fight each other.

There's a difference between not caring/implying the coach and team are purposely taking games off and actually just sucking in game 3 due to travel, the home team actually playing well, etc.

 

[DrJ]

No one ever dared to punch MJ in the nutsack.

 

[Todem]

All these guys are playing through bruises, strains etc.

No excuses. Your on the floor and playing and running.....no excuses. He looks mortal...it happens. Long season, he is beat up, but so is Lebron, so are a bunch of guys.

I loved last nights game. Watching Lebron and Kyrie play lights out was pretty special to see if your an NBA fan (homerism aside for those that are Cav's fans) and Klay was on fire in that first half, but ran out of magic in the 4th quarter.

Game 6 should be sick and I expect another Cav's victory. Then an all or nothing game 7 and I would think GS takes it. If not....oh boy. 

Never been done. Lebron can cement his legacy with a 3-1 come from behind Finals series win vs the greatest regular season a team ever had in GS, the city of Cleveland's suffering ends and we can be done with that story finally. A part of me is pulling for Lebron....I love seeing greatness and damn this guy is great. Seriously a once in a generation player. Screw the haters....this guy is a true star and does it all. He get's so much crap. It's stupid.

CBS reporting that the Bulls aren't interested unless they get Wiggins in return: http://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/report-bulls-wont-trade-jimmy-butler-to-wolves-unless-they-get-andrew-wiggins/

 

[Gr00vus]

Seems like GS missed a lot of open looks last night. The perils of being a jump shooting team. I imagine they hit those next game or game 7. I don't see Cleveland winning this series without some more GS guys getting knocked out of action.
