2015-16 NBA Thread (feat. the Wives)

The Cavs remain a 1 on 1 based team for the most part; LeBron gets others involved but its more watch me go 1 on 1 then make the great pass; Love and Kyrie are the epitome of 1 on 1. Warriors strangle 1 on 1 teams and then beat you in transition. From the couch it was comforting to see no Adams/Kanter/Ibaka/Roberson/Westbrook crashing the O boards and the Ws get defensive Rebs like a normal game.

Livingston is not going to go 8/10 every game nor is Barbosa going 5/5 but when the bench goes off, the Ws are that much better. I know the Splash Bros are going to get untracked.

 

James was guarding Curry 25 feet from the basket so he's not in position to get defensive rebounds. But the W's only got 7 offensive rebounds. So James needs to break on an outside shot and the Cavs need to throw it up to him at the other end. He's a huge target with great hands.

BTW, I only counted 1 nut shot last. WTF, is this the WNBA?

 

Boffo ratings.

That's the No. 1 reason to think this goes six games. $$$$$$$$

 

How is love the epitome of a 1 on 1 player?

 

I think right now, I'd be willing to put $500 on the Cavs to win Game 3.

 

On their way to a gentleman's sweep.

 

I'd count on them getting on track, but that's just me.

Ticket prices for the playoffs, and especially the Finals, are set by the teams? Would have figured the NBA would set those.

 

That's insane, but I also imagine players get about 8 comps per. I've read that the total playoff players pool (all teams who make the playoffs) is expected to be $13 mil, which seems low, considering we're talking at least 60 games. Multiply that by 20,000 seats perhaps an average ticket price of $100 and that's $120 million. Sure, not every game sells out - but then again the avg. for regular season is $53.
