Arena The NBA Thread

Just a kid from Akron

 

Mark Jackson's "Mama, there goes that man" might be the worst catchphrase for an announcer ever.

 

agreed. though chris berman is pretty close.

 

Haha I love it, it's silly but also has this even sillier potential etymological origin in calling a dude a mother****er

FTFY

 

i wonder if jackson has any clue what he's actually saying or not. if he does, that actually makes it kind of funny. still really annoying, but there's some amusement value in it. if not... i wonder what he thinks it means.

 

A glorious anniversary.

 

Kevin Love out for game 7

 

And no foul called again for the second time Tatum blasted a player in the head and sent them to the locker room.

But not salty or anything...

 

As fatal as no Love is, its a game 7 and Lebron is playing. Not saying he'll win. But you can't deny its possible.

 

he wasn't even looking at love. i doubt he wanted to hit himself on the head too.

 

Well, the Rockets clearly want to finish this series tonight.

 

Even if they end up losing, its a great effort by the Rockets. I expected a complete and utter trouncing of Houston tonight from the get-go. This has to give them a lot of confidence for game 7, if it happens. They are standing toe to toe with the Warriors, in their home court, with their backs against the wall.

 

This is just what I didn’t want to happen. A pair of game 7s, which will probably result in another Cavs/Warriors series. The only silver lining is neither has homecourt for game 7. Please let at least one road team lose!

 

so much for standing toe to toe. that second half was just brutal. the difference between running the offense through steph as opposed to durant.

my money's on boston, actually. no kevin love and boston having done what they've done at home so far... just seems like they have a decent shot at it.

 

the rockets just were hitting every 3 in the first half and the warriors missing almost every one, while making nothing of the turnovers they were given. had to wonder how long that could last

Yeah the Warriors actually looked more open and more fluid with Durant off the floor

 

that's because he iso's so much instead of getting points the way steph and klay do. was kinda awesome seeing old warriors again.

 

Bro it's still a foul and still should've been called, both times

 

you do know how many times that kinda thing hasn't been called... right? it's hardly an anomaly.

 

really dont want another warriors cavs finals. come on celtics....

 

Bro. You spelled "Rockets" wrong.

I've got to step in here. Friends don't let friends root for Boston

 

Celtics looked like getting away in that half but Cavs did well pulling it back. Celtics look like they have more options, but LeBron is gonna LeBron.

 

Why complain about not getting a foul when you won the game? Kind of pointless, lol....

 

You just know the Cavs will win this

Celtics not doing themselves any favours

 

Time to get out the heart monitor?
