2015-16 NBA Thread (feat. the Wives)

Well, there was no one in the East that had a realistic shot of beating Cleveland four times in seven games, so I don't think there's a whole lot to discuss.

Can't wait for tonight.

 

James Jones will be a tough trivia answer some day. He and LeBron are now the first players in 50 years to make the Finals six straight seasons.

 

Holy shit.
Police: Pelicans guard Dejean-Jones fatally shot in Dallas

 

Apparently shot while breaking into an apartment.

 

According to a writethru, he went to the wrong apartment It's gonna get real wierd.

 

Klay Thompson has no conscience at all.

 

Feat of Klay

Can't let a team like GS get its swagger back. The Thunder are cooked in Game 7.

 

I figured the Dubs were done with about 4 minutes left. 9-0 run in the final 2 minutes.

 

Way to finish strong there, OKC. Three turnovers in the last minute, two of them in the backcourt. You need to burn the sheets after that kind of bed-shitting.
On Bill Simmons' old Levels of Losing scale, this is definitely a stomach punch game. The Thunder will be lucky to keep the final margin to single digits Monday night.

 

Golden State was hanging in purely on 3-point shooting. Losing the rebounding battle. Giving up more free throws. Shooting twos worst. Losing the turnover battle.

Thunder gave that last one back in the end.

 

All of a sudden the pressure to win has shifted from Golden State to OKC. Warriors have their swagger back and Thunder are reverting to old habits. Oakland is going to be loud.

 

Have fun on Monday, Bay area sports designers.
