2016-17 NBA Thread: Finals are over, please go away (1 Viewer)

That ginobli play is greatness.

When Harden first gets the ball he throws an elbow that looks like it catches Ginobli in the nose. Manu doesn't flop, doesnt put in on the refs, just mans up and plays great d. Clean block too.

Loved it.

 
Right place, right time.  There was like 1 second on the clock, Harden had to shoot and Ginobili just happened to be right behind him following the scramble after the jump ball.  Not saying it wasn't a good play, but let's not overrate it.

Ginobili with the snuff highlight.

Spurs 3-2

Warriors will kill the Spurs.

Agreed.  Pop did all he could to mix and match, but in the end the Spurs needed Patty Mills to lead the team with Danny Green's offense and Manu Ginobili's defense.  That's not a winning recipe against the Warriors.  If Kawhi's ankle isn't near 100% in time for game 6 I could see him sitting out if it's bad or playing limited minutes if it's just good enough to go...with an eye on game 7.

Gordon #### the bed for the Rockets in the last 30 seconds of that one. 

Harden awful in OT. 
Click to expand...
Agreed.  Gotta put some of this on D'Antoni though.  Besides Capella defense/Anderson offense exchanges I didn't see a single adjustment, play call, or coaching decision that put the team in a better position to be successful down the stretch and the team was gassed.  The defense kept the Spurs in check because Aldridge settled for fade aways against smaller players while Simmons and Mills missed shots they should hit.  On offense Houston kept running the clock down like a mid-major program with a second half lead against a favored blue blood, and hoisted up poor shots - even after time outs.

Was that the first close game of the series?  I think it's more likely Houston wins the next 2 over anything else.

 
Rockets loss is definitely on Harden. Idk if he was tired but that was some of the worst offensive series I've seen end of 4th/OT.

Maybe look at what you have typed and actually think about it, before you hit submit reply.

If you aren't trolling, maybe the thought that nearly everyone posting here thinks you have no clue would make you think that maybe they are right, and you have no clue.

Excellent counter argument saying you don't care about reading any other quotes from Jordan being posted.

I guess it's your choice to ignore information that makes you look like you don't have a clue, than to admit someone else may be right, and you are wrong.

Warriors sweeping or beating the Cavs 4-1. HAHAHAHAHA

How is it not a possibility? Every game could still go down to the wire, but it's not far fetched to see the Warriors coming out on top like that. I'm pulling for the Cavs, but the Warriors are the better all around team.

great game I don't know what to write so I'm giving you waffles recipe: 2 eggs 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 3/4 cups milk 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 tablespoon white sugar 4 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions: Preheat waffle iron. Beat eggs in large bowl with hand beater until fluffy. Beat in flour, milk, vegetable oil, sugar, baking powder, salt and vanilla, just until smooth. Spray preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour mix onto hot waffle iron. Cook until golden brown. Serve hot.

i gotta disagree a bit with saying it was a great game. I will give you exciting, but Spurs didn't score for what 9 minutes in the 4th quarter? and it wasn't one of those "good defense" things, both teams just were looking sloppy. Exciting cause it was close, but I would be hard pressed to say that 4th quarter was impressive display of basketball

The Cavs have the deeper roster, the best player in the league.

If that doesn't work, the league has a vested interest in the series going 6 or 7.

The warriors will have 4 out of the 5 best players in the series. It doesn't really matter how good the cavs 9th and 10th man is.

:lmao:  Two of those losses came when Irving and Love sat as well including the last game of the season that meant NOTHING to Cleveland.

Five of those other losses came in a situation where the Cavaliers played like #### with or without James all season until one must win game in April.   It was obvious they were coasting through the regular season. 

It was a terrible response and then seeing people give it likes makes me laugh even more.

I just don't agree.  Irving and Love are in the conversation with Curry and Green, no one is in the conversation with James.

You could maybe have a reasonable discussion about Green and Irving because they're just such different players that it's hard to really compare their relative value. I think 90% of people would take Green, but who knows.

But that's the fourth-best player on the Warriors vs the second-best player on the Cavs. Overall it's not a close call.  The Warriors have the greatest starting lineup we've ever seen. IMO it's not even close.

 
I think the cavs have a chance because of lebron and they ARE really good, but comparing the two rosters is a total waste of time. 

 
roland the headless thompson gunner fought to help out the congolese why do i say this i say it because no one knows what that song was about and no one knows what will happen in a playoffs until the games are played and that is a little swc truth in your ear take that to the bank brohans

Wasn't sure Brad Stevens should have started Amir Johnson, but (unlike games 1 & 2 in Boston) the Celtics got off to a fast start.  Nice to see Jaylon Brown get some early minutes,  he should be somewhere in the playoff rotation.

Not sure how many more times Scott Brooks is going to have both Wall & Beal on the bench at the same time?  It's clearly the wrong play at this point - the second he does that the Wizards get destroyed.  Same failed strategy he employed for years in OKC not staggering Durant & Westbrook's minutes.

Please rank the players on the Warriors.

McGee

A.I.

Draymond's jumping leg kick

Everyone but Durant

The fans

Baron Davis

Durant

Remember Durant can't be on that list. I remember hearing hot takes about how the Warriors were better without him after he got hurt earlier in the year.

Thanks, that's what I thought.  Tobias had Green at 4 so I was wondering how had them ranked.  I'm going to dig into this more later after he replies, but I still think it's closer than you guys suggest.
