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 (3 Viewers)

[Frostillicus]

Klay faked his injury.

 

[msudaisy26]

He did, but 4/17 from 3 won’t cut it. A lot of open misses too.

Yeah, but league average is like 36 percent on 3's. 2 more makes and they were there. My guess is league average is lower for road teams as well, but it might be higher on open 3's.

I just spent an hour on the phone with a tech rep from my internet provider who couldn't figure out why my internet was actually working because the light was blinking red.  Then my phone battery died and we got cut off.  My internet is working fine and the light is still red.

This game feels a little bit like that.

That first Klay was a actually the fake one.

This totally lost me.

McGee !

 

[Jayrod]

LOL at McGee!!!

 

[TLEF316]

lol Mcgee

 

[Jayrod]

This totally lost me. 

I don't know, but it was a true story and I felt like I wasted a ton of time for something that didn't matter.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Javale, you are just the best.

 

[msudaisy26]

I don't know, but it was a true story and I felt like I wasted a ton of time for something that didn't matter.

Fair enough 

 

[TobiasFunke]

We’ve reached the point where even the Warriors crowd knows the Warriors are bull###.  Used to be the best home crowd in the league. Now Game 1 of the Finals sounds like an early season non-conference Div III game.

 

[Frostillicus]

Javale is amazing.

 

[Britney Spears]

I really love McGee. 

 

[msudaisy26]

The continuation rule gets me again. 

 

[Jayrod]

Geez, LeBron is on fire.

 

[msudaisy26]

Green is getting so bad on offensive he is barely drawing the rim on layups. 

 

[Frostillicus]

Green is getting so bad on offensive he is barely drawing the rim on layups. 

Which one?

 

[dickey moe]

 lebron

 

[Frostillicus]

Man this is seriously 1 on 4. 

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Do Jackson and van Gundy know there’s a game going on?

 

[dickey moe]

Smith covering Durant should work.

 

[Insein]

Is it the 4th quarter yet? Can I start watching?

 

[msudaisy26]

Do Jackson and van Gundy know there’s a game going on?

I actually want the Pistons to hire Jackson just so I don't have to hear him in meaningful games anymore. 

 

[modogg]

this f'ing guy:

Marc Stein✔@TheSteinLine

Adam Silver, at his annual Finals press conference, acknowledges the Bryan Colangelo situation in Philadelphia is not something he enjoys having to address before the tip-off of Game 1 but said “that’s the reality of this league” #thisleague

"reality of the league". good stuff commish, who do you want to recommend for the 6ers next?

 

[Short Corner]

I actually want the Pistons to hire Jackson just so I don't have to hear him in meaningful games anymore. 

Thanks for taking one for the team.

 

[Insein]

LeBron looking at that last shot like "seriously bro?"

 

[msudaisy26]

LeBron looking at that last shot like "seriously bro?"

Now imagine he goes to the Lakers and has to watch Lonzo shoot. 

 

[Synthesizer]

Lebron's eye all messed up from that poke.

 

[Frostillicus]

Now imagine he goes to the Lakers and has to watch Lonzo shoot. 

If he goes to the Lakers basketball becomes an afterthought.  He'll be counting his millions with a "pulled muscle"

 

[Frostillicus]

The Warriors do a lot of really good stuff on the court.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

I actually want the Pistons to hire Jackson just so I don't have to hear him in meaningful games anymore. 

Did they not get Casey?

im sure the crack group of ed Stefanski, Bernie bickerstaff and Jim Lyman will do great things.

 

[ShamrockPride]

it is so depressing watching Lebron waste what he has left in his career with this team. it feels Barry Sanders-ish. just hope he has some left in the tank for his next team

I mean it won't really matter anyway. Nobody is beating GS until one of their big 4 get off the payroll.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Oh I see Casey just interviewed.

 

[msudaisy26]

I mean it won't really matter anyway. Nobody is beating GS until one of their big 4 get off the payroll.

Were you on vacation the last 2 weeks?

 

[Frostillicus]

I mean it won't really matter anyway. Nobody is beating GS until one of their big 4 get off the payroll.

Houston would have if Paul hadn't gotten hurt.

 

[Bobcat10]

Were you on vacation the last 2 weeks?

But what percentage were they playing at?

 

[ShamrockPride]

Houston would have if Paul hadn't gotten hurt.

We'll agree to disagree. Most of you already know how I feel about Paul. I had little doubt GS was going to find a way to pull that out if he was there or not.

 

[msudaisy26]

But what percentage were they playing at?

No idea, I think you have me confused for someone else. 

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Korver?

Woo!

:confirmationbias:

 

[dickey moe]

Draymond Green needs to stop shooting 3's.

 

[Frostillicus]

We'll agree to disagree. Most of you already know how I feel about Paul. I had little doubt GS was going to find a way to pull that out if he was there or not.

I don't agree to that.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Draymond Green needs to stop shooting 3's.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Houston would have if Paul hadn't gotten hurt.

Maybe.  Not if Iggy was healthy, IMO.

 

[msudaisy26]

Draymond Green needs to stop shooting 3's.

Just stop shooting period. Him and Clarkson could have a great game of horse. 

 

[Bobcat10]

No idea, I think you have me confused for someone else. 

Nah, you cool, for the most part 

 

[ShamrockPride]

KD breaking ankles now?! 

 

[Britney Spears]

I don’t remember an offensive foul in this game. 

 

[dickey moe]

GS fans so nervous their T-bills are shaking.

Don’t even have the courtesy to end it early enough for us east coast folk to get to bed early.  smh
