2015-16 NBA Thread (feat. the Wives)

That happens, three words: Oh the humanity!

 

Largest two-game point differential in Finals history.

I can see the Warriors giving one away so they can party with the home crowd, but maybe not.

 

LeBron's been prepping himself for this all year, especially by dissing Kerr and Curry for their postseason awards. He has to own it now.

 

What is it about the NBA that brings out the idiotic hot takes? Way more than any other sport, the NBA seems to attract this shit.

(And for the record, I know what it is about the NBA that brings a lot of this out in heyabbott, at least. But there's so much of this dipshittery around, it's just strange.)

 

James put this crew together. Love. Shumpert, JR Smith (JR stands for Just Retarded) Frye, Jefferson, Thompson. He got rid of Blatt and brought in Lue.

It's all on James. And regardless of stats, he's not playing great. And Great players actually have to play great in clutch situations more often than not.

 

"Just Retarded." Brilliant stuff.

Blaming LeBron for everything is a bad talk radio hot take.

This Cleveland team was good enough to get to the NBA Finals -- again. They've run into quite possibly the best NBA team ever. LeBron was doing OK -- not great, but not bad in a game where everyone else in a Cavs uniform disappeared. Kyrie Irving was 5-14, and Kevin Love was 2-7 with a concussion. And yes, LeBron sat in the 4th once the rout was on. I suspect his back hurt from carrying the guys who weren't doing shit.

 

Coincidence?

 

Well, given that LeBron has made it to the finals the last 6 seasons in a row with two different franchises, pretty good chance that he'd be involved in the last 4 anything in the finals.

 

Whens the last time you saw him make someone better on O? Its pound pound shot; just like the Ws like it. (Sorry for the concussion though, he's a good guy.)

 

Not the last 4 championship wins. Not the last 4 wins of greater than 2o points. He's played in a weak conference and with All Star players of his own choosing.

 

Failed attempts at humor don't get any more pathetic than this. You're a buffoon.

 

Its been 2 dominant games, but its only "holding serve" as others (Riley?) used to say; we've seen teams get well at h0me before (Thunder against Spurs in '12; Heat v. Mavs '06.) Here's hoping the Ws keep playing lockdown D and box out on the defensive glass (thank goodness its not the Thunder anymore.)

What's impressive is how the Ws staff have developed the counter to teams overplaying the downscreens off the ball, first by having Curry/Thompson runs splits off the screen action, now having the screeners flash to the hoop leading to easy baskets.
