Arena The NBA Thread

Very sad to see this because the Warriors are a bunch of arrogant a-holes and I hate them.

 

Meh.

Congrats Warriors, tom.

 

Sith_Sensei__Prime, tom Enjoy; even win all the noise around this current team, it's still a hell of an achievement.

 

Happy to see the Warriors win.

The athleticism on display by the players on both teams leaves me stunned and amazed, more than at any other team sport. Basketball is great, and I really need to watch more of it.

 

The backboard dunk can still be on LeBron Mode 2k27.

I do think the Cavs need a roster move. Make a splash and compete even harder next year. Shock the world.

They need...Delly back.

 

Disband the rest of the league and just have the Warriors and Cavaliers, loaded with the best talent in the league. There could be a draft of sorts.

 

Yeah... no.

 

Kevin Durant is still the worst.

 

Hello I don't watch basketball ever but was this not expected a year ago when the team that made it to game 7 of the world series or whatever signed the best player in the league in the offseason? I thought the NBA had salary caps what is this hilariousness?

 

TV deals beneficial to the League kicked in allowing clubs to have more money to sign certain players.

 

plus the Warriors really lucked out signing Curry to his deal just before he blew up

 

It would be nice to see you & Vivec around this thread during the entire season.

 

Not perfect, but 16-1 has a nice "ring" to it.

 

Dreaded double post.

 

I didn't watch. Not bitter or disappointed. It was pretty much a forgone conclusion and I am sure I missed some good basketball. But I love basketball and it will be back in November with teams I like.

Disbanding the league is the dumbest idea ever. We'd have done it years ago and it would be a Celtics/Lakers game every year. But what we get is teams trading good rides. It's the Warriors turn but stay tuned someone else will take over when you least expect.

 

Now that that's over, they really need to change the rule that allows a shooter to pull back his shot and then jump right into an oncoming defender while basically just chucking the ball in the air in the direction of the basket so he can get the foul call and two or three free throws. Just in the few games I was able to watch this postseason I saw Steph Curry do that a number of times. And it was blatant, I mean a good long pause after pulling back the shot, clearly waiting for an oncoming defender to get close, and then a jump right into him while flailing the ball out of his hands. Foul called, three shots awarded. I'm not saying it needs to go so far as being an offensive foul, but the refs ought to be given the authority to at least negate the shot due to the overt attempt for the offensive shooter to initiate the contact.

 

almost as sad about four months without basketball as i am happy that the warriors won. congrats fellow warriors fans, condolences to my cavs friends. should be a compelling offseason, just so so long.

 

I gotta say...that whole being champions thing was fun. It'd be nice to do it again but I'll never forget the experience. One of the best experiences of my life tbh (not the arbitrary sphere-going-through-a-ring part, just all the emotional things that surrounded it).

Love this team and am wearing a Cavs shirt all day today. On to the next one.

 

Even though the Lakers may end up regretting not drafting Lonzo Ball, should they decided to do so, his father's reaction could be priceless. Aside from that, I'm most interested to see where Chris Paul ends up... got a feeling that the Spurs will indeed end up with him.



Also, because there's increasing chatter about it, the whole LeBron-to-La La La Land in 2018 rumors




Who the hell knows how that'll turn out/how viable it all even is... even with the 2016 triumph, there's still things to be done in Cleveland.






One last thing!: hoping to save some $$$ to surprise my brother with All Star Game tickets, since it'll be just 3-days after his birthday. If not the game, then maybe All Star Saturday (which ought to be at The Forum... hell, the game itself should be there).

 

Part of my reaction is now we can begin the countdown to NFL Training Camps next month!

 

The main reason I look forward to the Tour de France is that means we're a month away from the NFL preseason games.

 

Well, if it means anything, the 85 Bears also had only one loss.
