2017-18 NBA (Playoffs): A gasping, wheezing thread begs message board poster arguing how Jordan never lost a Finals to just let it die in peace (4 Viewers)

Colangelo went to Cornell, yet the most obvious connection between the accounts is the atrocious sentence fragments, the incorrect use of contractions and the inability to stay in the correct verb tense.

 
How utterly stupid do you have to be to make fake Twitter accounts that not only bash players and executives that saw Collangelo in a negative light from the Sixers and Raptors, but then also praise every decision Collangelo makes unilaterally?

I've hated this guy from day 1. #JusticeForSam

Also I can't wait for the Game of Zones on this.

He admitted to one of the accounts that didn’t tweet anything. It won’t take a minute to determine if it’s the same user. I’m assuming it is him. He should be fired by noon at the latest. If he’s not then this organization is in trouble.

When is the last time the losing team had the MVP?

He would have to completely obliterate every finals record to get the MVP on the losing team these days.

He wouldn't have to obliterate every record. The reason it doesn't happen much is because it takes a certain situation for it to happen. 

You need a big underdog, you need a team is more of a 1 man team, you need that player to be playing unbelievably well, and then you need the other team to have several very good players that can be the best player for their team on any given night. 

Think back 20ish years I can only think of a couple times you had this set up in the finals. LeBron in 15, which he can close, Dirk in 11, which they won, and Iverson in 01, which they got destroyed in 5.

Good chance one of you morons is Bryan Colangelo

I’ve had the incredible pleasure of working with Bryan.  Most definitely not a moron. One of the greatest basketball minds I’ve ever encountered.  Super humble too.  Maybe go find a real moron to criticize.

The part where they went to the Sixers with 2 of the accounts but held back the other 3 to see what happened with those was brilliant. And just as amazingly incompetent and stupid that Colangelo/whoever touched those other 3 accounts.

Great, so if the Cavs lose he still has what, maybe 1/10 shot to win it at the most?

Not really sure that should offset the +650 series price to make him +300 for MVP.

And yes, he would need to set records.  He can't JUST be the actual MVP of the series.  He needs to be far and away the best player by a lot with both stats and hustle plays, also defense, and for the series to go at least 6 games where he also has at least one game winner.  

No

I don't even see how this is a question.  As soon as they confirm its him (it obviously is) he has to be out. I would be surprised if he lasts the day.

He doesn't have to set records he needs to have just a slightly better series than he did in15 and have all the Warriors take turns being the hero in a win. Not hard to believe that Durant, Curry, Klay, Green and Iggy(If he comes back) could take turns having poor games and good ones. 

Where do all the Cav fans keep pulling 10 percent from? Dez gave the Cavs a 10 percent chance in game 7, Vegas had them at 44 percent, you put his series MVP at 10 percent, Vegas has it at 25.

The other station the Fanatic (home of the sixers mind you), is pushing the Hinkie is behind it conspiracy theory. Which for drama purposes would be incredible but it's highly unlikely. Just funny that the two stations are so different.

I might be missing something but if Hinkie was behind it how would he have known to lock the three accounts the Ringer didn't tell them about when they called?

Because they're hosts on a sports talk radio show and not very bright.

Or

Hinkie is an Evil Omnipotent Genius 

 
Hinkie is watching the 10,000-year clock.  He's not messing with BC and his twitter. 

Maybe setting something up for revenge on Colangelo in like the year 4678, but not today.

 
brohans in my perfect world hinkie is still inside the sixers building and he is disguised as a plant and he is the source that would be awesome and colongolo will learn rule numero uno which is that you mess with hinkie and you get the horns take that to the bank brohans 

 
That article is pure gold.

Except  for the fact that it might have just paved the way for Lebron to Philly.  Thanks, Sam.

 
so in the last 24 hours in Philly......

The Sixers GM is outed as a Twitter Troll ....

Their young Star Ben Simmons has fallen in the Sunken Place known as the Kardashian Cult

They extended their Head Coach who is out-smarted in games repeatedly

Hinkie Died for THIS ?????????????

Extension was the right thing to do, but good post otherwise.

I put his MVP chances as the same (ever so slightly higher) as their chances to win the series.  They are +650.  His MVP odds should be +640.

A nice bet just might be to put a little on the Cavs at +650 and then bet on whoever you think will win the MVP if the Warriors win it, which to me is Durant.  

+300 for Bron is just silly.  

There is a reason the losing team has only had the MVP once, and that it was like 50 years ago.  Even if he is the actual MVP of the series he won't win the award..............unless it is so painfully obvious where he is a one man show with 50-10-10 every night with good efficiency and the series goes 7 (MAYBE 6).

Have to disagree on this one..... it is obvious , even more so in the Playoffs, that he is not a very capable in-game Coach. His adjustments are late and , crunch time execution is laughable. They continued to blow 20 point leads all year long, including a critical Playoff lose. Things like having Marco Bellinelli setting a down screen for Embiid or having JJ Redick initiate plays in huge possessions are inexcusable. I like his personality but he would be better suited for a Veteran team like he was with in San Antonio.
