2016-17 NBA Thread: Finals are over, please go away (4 Viewers)

Classic JR Smith passing up an open 3 off the pass to take two side dribbles and shoot a contested 3.

 

[Ghost Rider]

How did your Celtics do?

They won a game. I imagine Celtics fans were thrilled to at least get that. 

 

[Weebs210]

Celtics fans here be hating on the Cavs for some feminine reason.  Ignore em

I'd guess cause Bron dad ####s them every year in the play offs

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

A miracle the Cavs are only down 3.

Any time they get it to 6 or closer, I just assume a 16-3 GSW run is gonna break out.  

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Westbrook still uses a discman?  No wonder kd wanted to get away.

 

[Dez]

If not for a few stupid fouls on Curry Cavs would be winning.  Curry has had 8 FT's on dumb Cavs fouls so far.

 

[ShamrockPride]

How did your Celtics do?

No different than I expected them to do. I had realistic expectations (see: NOT a homer, take some notes).

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Lol at the idea that deandre Jordan has ever watched the WNBA.

That reach-in foul on Curry "shot" from half court was brutal, and might not have been the dumbest one.

Fortunately for CLE, Curry seemed to feel guilty about it and gave a couple back with a couple of really dumb turnovers, like mishandling that soft perimeter  pass thrown right at him that slipped through his fingers and out of bounds.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Lol at the idea that deandre Jordan has ever watched the WNBA.

Right? He probably too busy giggling at CP3's property getting destroyed.

 

[need2know]

At least we got a more competitive game.  Cavs playing much better def tonight. Not as many easy dunks.  Also actually causing turnovers.

Not sure they can pull it off but it's definitely an improvement

 

[ShamrockPride]

If Dubs chill out with the careless passes, this should turn into a double digit lead fairly quickly.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Win or lose if Bron finishes with 20 assists, mad respect.

 

[wikkidpissah]

this game would be more fun with muletas....

ETA: no, those aren't italian sammiches from nawlins

 

[ShamrockPride]

Is Kyrie even on the court tonight? 

 

[jabarony]

That didn't go very well for the king.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

LeBron trying to defend Steph..   That was sick...

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Is Kyrie even on the court tonight? 

No.  He got so scared when he saw the Warriors he pissed his pants and left the arena.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Is Kyrie even on the court tonight? 

Yes

 

[BassNBrew]

That didn't go very well for the king.

That wouldn't have happened to his Airness.

 

[Todem]

God I love watching Lebron play ball. 

Simply incredible.

 

[thecatch]

Lebron is ok at basketball. 

 

[Long Ball Larry]

When is this live action thunder cats movie coming out anyway?

 

[Dez]

Too many long offensive rebounds turning into points for GS tonight.  Cavs somehow hanging in there feels like GS should be up 20.

 

[Ghost Rider]

God I love watching Lebron play ball. 

Simply incredible.

It really is.  Without him, they'd be losing this by 40. 

 

[ShamrockPride]

Really stupid defense/fouls all around by the Cavs tonight.

 

[Todem]

ruh oh

 

[Todem]

Cav’s simply not knocking down good looks. And Lebron is tired.

 

[Rodrigo Duterte]

God I love watching Lebron play ball. 

Simply incredible.

My favorite part is the traveling.  They should just give him a helmet.

 

[wilked]

Kyrie invisible out there 

 

[SoBeDad]

16 point lead, near end of 3rd. LeBron on the bench.  Why was Green still in with 4 fouls?

 

[Frostillicus]

This is a dumb post.

 

[tdoss]

So I rarely watch this nonsense anymore but decided to queue it up on my laptop.

I watch Curry get the ball at the perimeter and #27 comes over and not only sets a moving screen but puts both hands on the defender...underhooks him...grabs the defender and proceed to walk him towards the basket away from Curry.

Curry drains the 3 and grimaces while biting his mouthpiece and jogging back on defense.

NBA...it's REFtastic.

F' this "sport".

 

[tonydead]

Wow, does Cleveland know how to play defense?

 

[Frostillicus]

Deron Williams is terrible.

Well.  Bye.

My favorite part is his passing.  I'm constantly blown away by how he hits teammates in stride over short or long distances, guarded or unguarded.  

He's said he gets more of a thrill from watching a teammate make a shot off his pass than making the shot himself.  Any team with him on it is very lucky to have him.  

 

[ShamrockPride]

Sick handles Kyrie. Too bad you weren't doing that from the start.

LeBron to the warriors IMO.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

No.  They don't even practice it.  

The fact that they are playing against a team with two guys who have won scoring titles plus the guy with record for most points in a quarter is not a factor in this.

 

[ShamrockPride]

LeBron to the warriors IMO.

With all the money he makes outside of his max deal allowed by the NBA....I don't see why he wouldn't. He got Cleveland their title. What's left?

Believe what you want to believe.

 

[Frostillicus]

The Cavs are better with Kryie on the floor than Deron Williams.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

LeBron to the warriors IMO.

Only goal left is the 82-0 regular season.  Add LeBron to the starting lineup and they might pull it off.  

ETA: forgot we were talking about GSW.  LeBron would totally come off the bench.  GSW still goes 82-0, and LeBron wins Sixth Man Of The Year.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Not on defense.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

good god KD is a freak of nature.

 

[Dedfin]

Holy #### Durant is making some trick shots today

 

[Frostillicus]

Not on defense.

Pretty sure they are.

 

[Dez]

How was the Spurs up 23 in the 2nd half on GS at their place.........

Down 0-2 I don't see no Christmas miracles this year for the Cavs.

Adding Durant to a 73 win team made this over before it began back on July 4th, 2016.

Shocked GS lost as many game in the regular season as they did.

Not sure who is beating this GS team unless they have major injuries anytime in the near future.

 

[Weebs210]

Was a good run guys. Durant has completely ruined the NBA. Think I'm done watching NBA until things get more balanced.

See ya in ten years or so
