Kobe says one more season and it's over. Retiring after 2015-2016 season. Just announced by Mitch. Deangelo is definitely the pick at #2.
I can see the conversation.. Kobe: How about an extension already! Buss: Well umm well uh you would have to take a pay cut Kobe: F that i'm done... After this year that is.....
Atlanta is going to get swept. Ive said since the beginning of these playoffs this is the weakest eastern conference in a long time. Ridiculous weak. Its about as weak as the year the Cavs went to the Finals just to get swept by the Spurs.
East has been garbage for about 5-7 years now to be honest. The main difference is the Heat were a great team leading the way, Cavs are a good team leading the way. The conference just sucks every year save 1 (2 at the most) teams.
GSW will steamroll whoever comes out of the east. If the Heatles had stayed together, that would be different.
I disagree. Cleveland's defense has been the best during the postseason. I understand who they faced but still. I cannot underestimate LeBron and the impact he has on a team. JR Smith is hot. Kyrie will likely get enough time to heal since it's looking like an easy sweep. Tristan gets a lot of offensive rebounds (defensive too, but the offensive ones are more impressive). A lot of shooters left open after penetration. Golden State could've easily lost either game they won. They were a bit underwhelming at home, IMO. I think GSW vs Cavs is gonna make for a lot more interesting of a Finals than you believe.
Get the **** out of here if you think Cleveland has had best defense in any game this playoffs. They have been absolutely atrocious. All around, the entire East is a joke and will be embarrassed by Curry and the Warriors relentless 3 attack. Even the Heatles would be underdogs against this Warriors team in the finals.
Im not writing out the Rockets just yet but if GSW wins... I can imagine what the series wager is going to look like and placing a small wager on the Cavs to win the series as a huge underdog isnt going to kill anybody.
Wade stepped on a scale in snapchat, he's at 214 lbs... Thats the lowest weight ive seen him listed in a long time.. Cut 14 lbs since the Heat season ended. I wonder whats the goal weight for him. But to me i welcome it as he heads into the final years of his career.
nevermind my post about wagering on the Cavs if they face GSW... that's just burning money... that team is serious.. and they're not even killing the Rockets with three point shooting... it's just defense and fastbreak..
To think Tony Allen locked down Curry for the first couple of games before he got injured blows my mind. Look at how deadly this guy is.
I think Cle manages 2 wins based off LeBrons greatness alone. A hobbled Kyrie, and no K.Love equals no NBA title in year 1.
Call me crazy but Love doesn't look like a starting PF next to Thompson. Thompson provides offensive rebounding, rebounding in general and defense. Love stretches the floor but that's taking shots away from better shooters. Hopefully the Cavs complete the sweep soon and Kyrie gets to rest until the Finals begins and he's healthy enough to play well. I believe this Finals matchup can go to 6 or 7 because LeBron is that good and makes life that much easier for everybody on his team. Kyrie should be good to go. JR is hot. Shumpert can defend well. Thompson is a beast. Dellevedova is kicking butt and hustling. If Curry can be thrown off a game or two, the Cavs can win it all. I just don't know if the Cavs have the perimeter defender they need to do the job.
Steph Curry is playing out of his mind. The only guy in the league who has a chance vs this guy is Lebron if he goes all 2010-2011 defensively and makes his life hell like he did for D Rose in the ECF's. But even then, Curry's just a different animal. It's like guarding a faster, better dribbling version or Reggie Miller or Ray Allen whose just going to bounce around off screens all day and splash 3's.
Its not just Curry though... bogut Barnes Iguodala Thompson Green... That team is just too deep for any team to handle. Lebron may be able to lock down Curry down but i dont trust the rest of his team to do much of anything to anyone else. klay will take advantage of Kyrie being hobbled and school him.
That was so dumb of Horford. People at my house was telling me i was overreacting at what the penalty was going to be, and then they had a stunned face when it was a reality. Wrap it up, Atlanta had a shot to win this game and now unless Milsapp comesto life it is over.
He definitely is and karma will strike on that ****er one day. GSW needs to pay close attention to that guy, id make Bogut give him a good hard foul to send a message.
3/4 bets already cashed for this game.. Over 95.5 1h Over 95 2h Over 190 All that is left is a small bet for hawks ML live at +600... Which i didnt think had a chance in hell, placed it with a min left in the third
Really sucked watching Teague lose this game....all those overdramatize screams the last half hour everytime he made a shot. #dramaqueen #Itsawrap #Cavs2finalsItoldUso
NBA is going to move the finals up to June 2 if both series are sweeps. Draft is June 25. Hope for a 6-7 game finals (with anyone but Lebron winning).
They might move the draft up to next week. GS is going to annihilate this slop of a representation of the East.
Well I won't complain about any of that. Phil is gonna need time and there's no time like the present...
