Arena The NBA Thread

Looks like I'll get my wish about the Rockets getting embarrassed by the Warriors. This is painful to watch.

 

Just another win, and Steph Curry gets to showcase his talents on the biggest stage available in the NBA. Lovely.

 

Apporpiate as the MVP should be on the biggest stage during the playoffs.

 

tunick i'm not surprised but your'e literally the only person on the planet who doesn't like steph

 

Wait, what? I was being sincere! Should I have added a ' ' at the end of that post to make the point clear?




From the previous game...

 

Prenn, the Clippers are the California Basketball team he doesn't like, not the Warriors.

 

So, will Houston be wearing Washington Generals throwback uniforms on game four, or the more subtle white flag patches on their standard uniforms?

 

Warriors are gonna beat the Cavs comfortably I'd say. this is Curry's year.

 

Just like every time that Jordan wasn't MVP... how'd that work out for the other team Jordan played?

 

Watching that game last night I won't argue with you. The Warriors looked scary good, and if the Cavs make it that far I would say Warriors in six. Of course I'm also the one that thought the Cavs would get beat by the Bulls so...

 

Yeah.

Except Jordan didn't have a deity being entertained and amused by bringing pain to the region his teams represented.

 

Bill Simmons is fired. No one can make "G-d hates Cleveland" jokes now, so you're good!

 

God hating Cleveland predates Simmons. By a lot. He just popularized it.

 

Those Jordan teams were far better than this current Cavs team, though. Plus the Warriors' blend of attack and defence is just unparalleled.

 

Dude you have no idea how angry I am at humanity. I just get annoyed at a bunch of stuff, especially stupid people, which is the majority of human beings.

I have issues to deal with. I'm not very happy that I'm gonna be 40 and right now I'm alone (meaning not in a relationship).

I've always hated Kobe, so **** him. Yeah sure he's one of the greatest players ever, but whatever, I hope a car runs him over.

Houston should hide their collective heads in the sand from shame. What piece of crap effort from then last night.

No doubt Warriors go all the way for the championship and win it all. I like the team so at least I'll be happy about that.

 

The Kings back-in-the-day as well, and whenever they're relevant again.




Concerning the very likely a probable Golden State/Cleveland Finals... aside from the obvious Curry vs. LeBron angle, it's essentially a win-win*** for non-partisan rooting interests: you either get Cleveland finally winning a title in very fantastic fashion (LeBron's return, etc) or Golden State giving many Bay Area fans a great taste of pro-sports glory, a franchise finally stepping further back in the limelight in the best possible way.




***Cleveland winning would be the overall better story, since their title drought is longer, and of course the history of pro-sports in that city (at least since the 60's) is much more on the negative side of things than the Bay Area (for among the Golden State fanbase, there'll be those who are Giants fans -3 World Series in 5 years! - or 49er fans who are old enough to have lived/rooted through the 80's and the Super Bowl XXIX triumph OR Raider fans who are old enough to remember their glory days and Oakland A's fans who can recall the great team's of the 70's and 80's). I want and prefer Cleveland to win this title for various reasons, but a Golden State triumph wouldn't be the worst thing either... still a great story.

 

Chippiness, chippiness for everyone!

 

Now we find out if Inty is correct, G-d hates Cleveland, and Cleveland are the 2004 Yankees...

 

I guess the Knicks were just one player away from contending.

 

What a ridiculously memorable, great game. So close we are to wonderful Finals.

 

Welcome back, buddy.

On. to. the. next. one.

 

So relieved when the game ended that I wanted to cry.
