2015-16 NBA Thread (feat. the Wives)

Just getting back from father's day dinner.

Have to say I'm sorry for Dubs fans that they lost (and sorrier I'm going to hear conspiracy until the playoffs start next year and probably beyond) but I'm actually not mad seeing LeBron win. Thought I would be because of the four-letter's endless filating of the guy but seeing him break down after the buzzer changed my mind. Seeing what this means to Cleveland makes it bearable to see him win it. And my goodness what a series and a helluva final.

 

We had the sound down but he was brawling. I mean water works.

 

A lot of himself, a lot of it his people (especially The Decision) and some media fanbois. But he took control of those final three games like few ever have.

 

I have numerous relatives who gullibly re-post every right-wing/anti-Obama/pro-gun conspiracy they come across on Facebook. Considering you make them look rational by comparison on a daily basis, spare me the lecture on perspective.

If you didn't think LeBron's post-game tears were for show and you didn't cringe at the total lack of self-awareness by his "deference" to God on continually giving him the hardest road I don't know what to tell you. Do I think LeBron is evil incarnate? No. But a game of HORSE with a sick child doesn't make him any less of a passive aggressive narcissist.

 

Interesting because I see way more fanboi media for the old guard than I ever do for LeBron.

In fairness, he has had some very odd moments of disappearance.

 

Ahem...

Suck it, Receding (Hell, RETREATING) Hairline Boy.

 

Ok, the good he has done to the bad is?

 

No argument there. I'm sure some will complain about Draymond or no Bogut, and others will hop on the Giants bandwagon, since that's how a lot of Bay area fans roll.

You're up 3-1, you should find a way to win that fourth. Especially at home. And down the stretch, they're in position to win, but couldn't make that finishing push, thanks to one of the greatest performances in Finals history.

 

Didn't see it. But if you want brawling, check out Charles (WTF Am I Doing Here) Oakley. For some reason, he was hanging around outside the Cavs locker room, got pissy when security wouldn't let his has-been ass in.

Anybody else think Kevin Calabro is far and away the best pxp play man in the league? It was a joy listening to him on the radio.

 

Ah. Here's Smith's tearful reply to a question about his dad:

No disputes on your last sentence. As for the media, plenty has changed since LBJ signed his first pro contract. We all know that too well.
