AlexKzillion 04.12.19	Excited for Jazz/Rockets
SteakByrnes 04.12.19	Thunder vs Bucks in the championship is the dream
AlexKzillion 04.12.19	I’ll gladly take any West team that isn’t the Warriors or Rockets vs any east team
Sunnyvale 04.12.19	Go Blazers
Ryus 04.12.19	may 14th is the big day for me as a knicks fan--the draft lottery tank 4 zion
Source 04.12.19	Go Blazers [2]
AlexKzillion 04.13.19	Shame Nurkic won't be playing, otherwise I could've easily seen the Blazers going to the WCF.
DominionMM1 04.13.19	nugs are finally legit. still getting used to it. if they're on, they can beat any team in a 7 game series save for golden state.
Source 04.13.19	Yeah i was watching when he got injured. Pretty brutal. Reminded me of Hayward last season
AlexKzillion 04.13.19	It looked even more brutal than Hayward's imo because he's so much bigger, with the ref accidentally stepping on him making it even worse. Feel like Adams and (if they make it past the thunder) Jokic/LMA are gonna have a field day against Kanter.
Source 04.13.19	Kanter should punch a chair if that happens
robertsona 04.13.19	I remember making my ex girlfriend watch Celtics Cavs opener and Hayward immediately got injured and we both nearly cried. Didn’t see nurkic at all tho thank god Really would love Giannis to do some damage
Sunnyvale 04.13.19	Cheers Source! Yeah, it's rough. One of the best Blazers teams of this century so far, crushing injury.
AlexKzillion 04.13.19	Def rooting for the Bucks if/when the Jazz get eliminated. Fucking love the Jazz
Trophycase 04.13.19	Rooting for the bucks to make it in the eastern conference. Also love watching the warriors so hoping to see them go all the way.
SitarHero 04.13.19	Anyone over the Rockets. I'd even take the Warriors over them and I hate thr Warriors.
Trophycase 04.13.19	The rockets had their chance last year imo and couldn't seize it.
Keyblade 04.13.19	let's go raptors good thing I'm back in the dot, I can feel a first ever finals appearance in my bones
SitarHero 04.13.19	Raptors or Bucks better win the chip. Goddamn the only West teams I don't hate with a passion are the Clips, Spurs and Jazz. THE GODDAMN CLIPS, SPURS AND JAZZ
manosg 04.13.19	haha Sitar, how can you hate the Nuggets? Jokic is one of the most exciting players to watch atm. Hated the Clips, Spurs and Jazz as a kid. The Clips were always awful, the Jazz always played the same goddamn flex offence and kicked my Lakers' asses when Kobe was young, and the Spurs were far from the beautiful version of basketball when they won their last chip. However, the only team I hate right now is Golden State but I think lots of people will like them again once/if Durant and Boogie are gone.
SitarHero 04.13.19	You're right. I'm pretty ambivalent about the Nuggets (passing big men? meh been there done that) and the Blazers (remorseless gunning little men? meh seen better). But the Warriors, Rockets and Thunder are the absolute worse. How can anyone not hate the Rockets? What a fucking abomination.
manosg 04.13.19	love your passion Sitar, but passing big men of that level? Unless you include Magic who was a PG, only Sabonis was that good. Divac, maybe Daugherty, Walton and Wilt (who I haven't seen play apart from youtube) weren't remotely as good as Jokic.
dedex 04.13.19	Let's go Celts This is the time of the year I hate being a European, I'll get a chance to see only 20% of the games Btw Giannis MVP
Morningrise767 04.13.19	GSW to go all the way
Piglet 04.13.19	76ers boiz. How can you not love a team that has a 7 foot cameroonian penguin
SitarHero 04.13.19	How dare you badmouth Vlade! Naah I'm not saying Jokic isn't great, but it doesn't do much for me.
Uzumaki 04.13.19	Dang, someone's salty over the Bucks. They're worlds away so much better than what I saw of them last year, and unlike previous years, it's not solely the Giannis Antetokounmpo show; this year they got legit players helping out.
Storm In A Teacup 04.13.19	THUNDER UP Thunder vs Celtics is the dream
SitarHero 04.13.19	The problem with the Bucks is that teams that reliant on 3 pt shooting is that they're either going to blow you out or be blown out. Which is why they probably have the best shot of beating the Warriors, but might also possibly get knocked out in the first round if they go cold.
Uzumaki 04.13.19	3 pt shooting has been their achilles heel for the past several years, and it's nice that they actually have some guys who can shoot, but they also have guys that can go in the paint and score in the small game too. This is the most balanced I've seen them in a while. I agree with your 3 pt logic though.
Uzumaki 04.13.19	If anything, I can see them getting past the first round. Anything after that, all bets are off lol.
Storm In A Teacup 04.13.19	This was/should have been the year of the Thunder. again! GRRRR. Can't believe Paul George is injured right now.
EyesWideShut 04.13.19	FUCK Golden State.. Im honestly good with any team other than them.. But Go Blazers and 76'ers.
Storm In A Teacup 04.13.19	yea seriously FUCK THE WARRIORS!!! GO THUNDER!!! GO CELTICS!!!
Ryus 04.13.19	fuck the celtics fuck golden state bucks are cool i guess...nuggets are cool too
EyesWideShut 04.13.19	If GS wins does KD just get bored and jump teams or keep racking up poverty championships ?
Ryus 04.13.19	nah kd pulls up to the knicks
Storm In A Teacup 04.13.19	i hope he goes to the knicks and they miss the playoffs with a record of 29-53
AlexKzillion 04.13.19	I don’t think any East team can stop the Bucks aside from the Raptors.
Source 04.13.19	lebronto isn't a thing anymore. so the raptors definitely have a shot
manosg 04.13.19	Agreed, the Bucks seem the safest bet for winning the East. The 76ers' starting five is great too but they lack depth and I'm not a big fan of their coach. But if they manage to play their starters for 38 mpg consistently and without having injuries etc., I can see them going to the finals.
Source 04.13.19	i bet the celtics will turn it on in the playoffs
SitarHero 04.13.19	If by turn it on you mean Kyrie will get injured, I am inclined to agree.
Source 04.13.19	dude don't speak that on him
Source 04.13.19	kinda hope the sixers get swept tbh
SitarHero 04.13.19	Yeah, I hope the Sixers get swept too. But I ain't ever putting money on ol' man flat earth and Chris Paul staying healthy in the playoffs.
Trophycase 04.13.19	Yeah fuck the sixers. Bucks for life out of the east
Source 04.13.19	Bucks or Magic for me
Source 04.13.19	Yeah baby! Good for the magic
kevbogz 04.13.19	damn, L for Sixers AND Raptors
Ryus 04.14.19	raps gonna get shat on in the playoffs again? haa
kevbogz 04.14.19	Kyle L0-7wy
Source 04.14.19	Got kneed in the the balls for his troubles too
Source 04.14.19	Great day for road teams
Trophycase 04.14.19	Lowry in full playoff form. Seriously though, idk how people don't want to see the warriors, Curry is the greatest shooter ever and they are probably the most talented team ever and I just want to see them as much as I possibly can. I honestly think the Bucks can give em a run though.
SitarHero 04.14.19	"idk how people don't want to see the warriors" Ain't no fun rooting for the favourites. Nobody went to see Rocky I and II to root for Apollo Creed. Plus Durant and Draymond are jackasses who are making Boogie Cousins look as patient and restrained as the Dalai Lama.
Keyblade 04.14.19	imagine if DeRozan gets farther in the playoffs than the raps
manosg 04.14.19	Damn, three teams lost home court advantage already. Kyle Lowry choked once more and Ben Simmons proved again that he's a serious liability when the pace slows down.
SitarHero 04.14.19	"imagine if DeRozan gets farther in the playoffs than the raps" Nobody fucks with pops. Nobody.
teamster 04.14.19	Great start for the East contenders ...lol
Storm In A Teacup 04.14.19	it would be crazy if Durant left the Warriors. his personality as one of the biggest bitches of all time in sports has been lucky enough to be a perfect fit somehow with the warriors and he's such a bitch that he needs to leave them too? crazy shit. bitches be crazy.

SitarHero 04.16.19	GO CLIPS! Looks like a season spent antagonising the refs is coming back to bite the dubs
MyNameIsPencil 04.16.19	if the clippers win game 3 things could get interesting i just hope my blazers can win their game 2
AlexKzillion 04.16.19	Lol I went to bed at the start of the 2nd. I hate my life

kevbogz 04.17.19	fucking Sharks, man....
kevbogz 04.17.19	wait wrong thread fuck
Source 04.17.19	lol
Trophycase 04.17.19	Hey everyone! Huge Lebron fan here! :smiley: I looked at the schedule and I can't find his next game! Yikes! Can anyone let me know when he's playing? Can't wait for him to win the NBA Finals! :smiley:
MyNameIsPencil 04.17.19	the combo of meyers leonard and enes kanter has done more than enough to replace nurk at least but fuck it sucks he got hurt man
Source 04.17.19	hopefully it doesnt affect the rest of his career. It looked that serious
MyNameIsPencil 04.17.19	I'm staying optimistic with that, even an 80% nurk is a force
Source 04.17.19	this is true
EyesWideShut 04.17.19	Hopefully Nurk can recover
SitarHero 04.17.19	Is it me or does CJ McCollum look like a grown up Steve Urkle? I feel like that makes it all the more embarrassing to lose to him.
Sunnyvale 04.17.19	Lets go Blazers, keep it up
Source 04.17.19	that's enough outta you sitar
Trebor. 04.17.19	Watching Westbrook shoot is rough
Source 04.17.19	dame >>>> westbrick
SitarHero 04.17.19	Can you imagine though? You're just chilling out maxin' n relaxin' shooting some bball outside of school when Steve Urkel steps up in his suspenders and glasses and straight up embarrasses you? I feel like that's an actual hustle that McCollum ran as a teenager. And still is tbh.
MyNameIsPencil 04.17.19	he did go to Lehigh of all schools
Source 04.17.19	*Urkel drops a triple double* "Did I do that???"
Dmax28 04.17.19	He is Steve Urkel for sure.
AlexKzillion 04.17.19	"dame >>>> westbrick" I'm surprised this is still even debated tbh. Pretty much every all-nba article I've read has Dame comfortably 2nd team behind Harden and Curry while Russ isn't even third team in half of them.
SitarHero 04.17.19	Westbrick got dem triple double stats tho.
Dmax28 04.17.19	I just get the vibe that Westbrick is an extremely self centered player. It was funny seeing him flop when Lillard was doing nothing more than playing good defense.
Source 04.17.19	The reason i said that is because the series is being hyped to make it seem like there's a feud or something between the two of them
Skoj 04.18.19	oh sweet mother of fuck, here comes the rockets tonight. SHOOT THREES HOUSTON TEXAS STILL TIPPIN
SitarHero 04.18.19	Just saw this on ESPN: 'KD on Beverley matchup: "I'm Kevin Durant. Y'all know who I am"' Welp! Looks like KD is gonna be a Clipper next year...
Dmax28 04.18.19	Holy cow were the Pacers bad in that 4th quarter. Even a decent 4th would have probably got them the W.
AlexKzillion 04.18.19	Yeah that was tough. Game reminded me of how fun it is to watch Kyrie tho
Ryus 04.18.19	fuck the celtics fuck the pacers good game tho
Source 04.18.19	As soon as the pacers built a lead I thought to myself I bet they'll piss this away in the first couple minutes of the fourth quarter
AlexKzillion 04.18.19	Rockets are so hot, Jazz are so cold.
Source 04.18.19	They always seem hot until the warriors expose them
AlexKzillion 04.18.19	If the Rockets can play like this against the Warriors I think they have a solid chance at beating them. They're making a 50 win Jazz team look like the Suns right now.
Source 04.18.19	Last year the rockets had them. But then in game 7 the rockets were like "wait, why aren't we attempting more threes? That's what got us this far". And then we all know what happened after that.
AlexKzillion 04.18.19	Idk. The Rockets are about to play them with a fresher and probably even better James Harden than last year, and a (hopefully) healthy Chris Paul. The Rockets are also fucking locked in like no other team in the league rn while the Warriors are still coasting. They’re definitely still a threat imo since they’ve finally gotten back to the level they were playing at last season.
EyesWideShut 04.18.19	If Dipo was healthy I could see Indi winning the series.. Celts are gonna fall on their face against Raps or Bucks.
Source 04.18.19	Hope the conference finals is bucks vs magic
Skoj 04.19.19	Rockets defense and bench is impressively better than last year. This is a much, much more complete team. They should win it all.
Source 04.19.19	Spurs may have been slept on
Ryus 04.19.19	how how does pop do it i dont understand
Source 04.19.19	I thought the playoff streak was going to be over earlier this season
SitarHero 04.19.19	"how does pop do it" Pop is fucking magic. I was the biggest Suns fan in the oughties and hated the Spurs with a burning passion, but at the end of the day you can't deny Pops' greatness.
Source 04.19.19	The clippers should be banned from the playoffs
Ryus 04.19.19	spurs player development is a cut above everyone else's and has been for the past 20 odd years
SitarHero 04.19.19	Seriously. The Spurs is the greatest basketball organization on the planet, bar none. None of the glamour of the Lakers or Celtics or Knicks, but none of the dysfunction either and better results than any of them can shake a banner at. Which makes it all the more headscratchingly confusing that Kawhi chose to leave and head to Toronto. Maybe after a few years of getting knocked out of the Conf Finals by the burgeoning Milwaukee Juggernauts he'll come to his senses.
Source 04.19.19	Kawhi is still my second favorite active player after Lebron, despite his recent douchebaggery
Storm In A Teacup 04.19.19	gonna kill myself at this point if the Thunder don't at least win the series against the Blazers. and we are down 0-2. i'm gonna need a religious experience to happen upon my team to save my life cuz it doesn't look good at this rate.
Storm In A Teacup 04.19.19	"how does pop do it" he coaches, i don't know what Billy Donovan does though. if we get bounced in the first round he better be fired and there better be an afterlife like heaven for me to look down and know about it.
Source 04.19.19	:D
Keyblade 04.20.19	Siakam is amazing TRoss played his heart out but the refs were high, shouldn't have been this close
teamster 04.20.19	Paul George is hurt - no way I fire Donovan. Westbrook has played bad this series.
ZippaThaRippa 04.20.19	Russ is owning tonight, keep up
Storm In A Teacup 04.20.19	its been godly
ZippaThaRippa 04.20.19	Russ fucking did it to em, Grant was fucking massive, PG got robbed that D I S R E S P E C T shoulda counted
Storm In A Teacup 04.20.19	I've always known this was how to win. Dennis and Jerami are monster talents that HAVE to be fully utilized. I pray to Storm In A Teacup that Paul George is healed up and ready to fucking bang out the rest of the playoffs all the way to winning the Finals and shutting everyone up once and for all.
teamster 04.20.19	nice win yesterday Storm...
Storm In A Teacup 04.20.19	We've got the series in the bag at this point. Too many Blazers are gonna be in their feelings and this years Thunder team has thrived on adversity more than anything.
Source 04.20.19	lol
SitarHero 04.20.19	I seriously worry for what will happen to Storm when the Thunder get knocked out.
Source 04.21.19	I hate the sixers
Get Low 04.21.19	I got Cavs in 4
Source 04.21.19	In the next 4 draft lotteries sorry to say
SitarHero 04.21.19	Lol, the Thunder are so trash. I didn't realise that they had to hit 50% of their 3s just to win by 12. Their trash talking asses aren't making the second round. Wish I could say the same for the 76ers. :[
Storm In A Teacup 04.21.19	We don't talk trash! We respond to trash talkers! We are the best behaved team in the NBA. We are also the best team!
SitarHero 04.21.19	LMAO! You almost had me, right up until you said "we are also the best team!"
Source 04.22.19	Why can't the magic just like...be better lol
Keyblade 04.22.19	never in doubt
Storm In A Teacup 04.22.19	i might end it all
SitarHero 04.22.19	I'd say you should have Westbrick shoot you in the back of the head...but he'd miss.
Source 04.22.19	Storm what happened dude
Source 04.22.19	Bring back the Sonics!
SitarHero 04.22.19	Dame and McCollum are winning me over man.
Storm In A Teacup 04.22.19	fuck off with that. they ain't doing shit. Charley Barkley can suck my dick.
SitarHero 04.22.19	I mean, if you call shooting worse than 25% from the field shit then you're right. They ain't doing it. xD Hunting them stats ain't so easy in the playoffs.
Source 04.22.19	Whats your official team sitar?
Keyblade 04.22.19	damn u guys are harsh lmao
Keyblade 04.22.19	Sonics do need to come back tho
Source 04.22.19	They do. I'm still heartbroken
Ryus 04.22.19	i love westbrook but...damn the dude has some serious flaws
SitarHero 04.22.19	"Whats your official team sitar?" I don't see the point in having one. I ain't particularly keen on rooting for pajamas. But Westbrook is a tool and I enjoy watching him lose.
Source 04.22.19	Why not root for your hometown team? If your hometown has one
Storm In A Teacup 04.22.19	wow
SitarHero 04.22.19	I didn't grow up here so I don't have a hometown. And the homerism in sports is pretty amusing to me. "I'll root for players X,Y,Z and love their game as long as they're wearing THIS colour, but not when they're wearing a different colour!"
Keyblade 04.22.19	sounds about right nah forreal tho as long as the departure isn't acrimonious, I usually still got love for ex players
Ryus 04.22.19	fuck kristaps porzingis!
Source 04.22.19	"I'll root for players X,Y,Z and love their game as long as they're wearing THIS colour, but not when they're wearing a different colour!" I don't think many people actually treat sports like that lol
SitarHero 04.22.19	How does Storm feel about KD and the Warriors, I wonder...
Source 04.22.19	That is an unprecedented scenario though wouldn't you say
Keyblade 04.22.19	yeah that would prob fall under the acrimonious category
Storm In A Teacup 04.22.19	We were up 3 to 1 in the Western Conference Finals to them and they actively recruited KD during the series. How the fuck do you think I feel? I feel like the real bitch in OKC left a few years ago.
Keyblade 04.22.19	took us more than a decade to forgive VC lol
SitarHero 04.22.19	How do Spurs fans feel about Kawhi? How did Cleveland's fans feel about Lebron? Fandom in sports is generally ridiculous, especially hometown fandom. It's just a watered down exercise in jingoistic tribalism. I don't care about the city or the corporate-as-fuck franchise that cares about nothing but squeezing every dollar that it can out of both its players and its fans. I prefer to root for or against players.
Source 04.22.19	Idk maybe I'm just lucky enough to have never really experienced anything like that except maybe Ken Griffey Jr. But he's still treated like a god here
SitarHero 04.22.19	It's pretty damn weird that only players face backlash for choosing to play elsewhere. Why weren't more people upset at Mark Cuban for lowballing Steve Nash back in the day? Or at Sam Presti when he traded Harden instead of shelling out some cash to have a core of 3 MVPs that would have dominated the next decade?
Uzumaki 04.22.19	Go Bucks?
Source 04.22.19	Can't stand Mark Cuban
EyesWideShut 04.22.19	RIPCITY BITCH
EyesWideShut 04.22.19	Always thought Mark Cuban looked like Trent Reznor lmao
0GuyMan0 04.22.19	@Sitar I remember thinking that moving Harden wasn't necessarily the wrong move, but they didn't get fucking anywhere near enough back. Serge Ibaka was a monster, man. In retrospect, moving Russ was probably the best thing they could have done. As much as he's the lifeblood of that team now, Harden / Durant would clearly be more devastating than Durant / Westbrook was.
SitarHero 04.22.19	Naah man, the point wasn't which of their three stars they should have traded. It's that they traded any of them at all instead of paying the luxury tax to keep that core together and dominating the league for the next decade. Instead they traded Harden, watched GSW become the juggernauts that THEY should] have been, then watched KD (bitch tho he is) walk because he knew that if he couldn't get to the finals with Westbrook while 3-1 up on the Warriors with a gimpy Curry, he was NEVER going to get to the finals with Westbrook. And he was right. But, KD (bitch tho he is) gets all the blame in this despite Presti and Bennet and crew screwing the pooch.
0GuyMan0 04.22.19	Sure, just saying what I* was thinking. If Harden had performed in 2012 they probably would have won that chip. With that in mind, I wasn't mad at them.
Source 04.22.19	Idk man the heat pretty much steamrolled them. I don't think it was really hardens fault even though he didn't play well
Source 04.23.19	Couldn't complete the sweep lol. Fail
Storm In A Teacup 04.23.19	Harden has never pulled it out himself with a crew of his own.
tellah 04.23.19	saw DGD in tdot last night and Til was rocking a Vince jersey go raps
SitarHero 04.23.19	Does that make Kawhi the Heir Canada?
tellah 04.23.19	only time will tell. with 3/4 good playoff performances (with his off game still being a win) i'm confident he will be our true heir and he stay
Source 04.23.19	Kind of surprised harden showed up at all last night. He usually goes awol in elimination/closeout games

Skoj 04.24.19	it would be terrible for the rox chances vs golden taint, but it would also be satisfying to Aaron Boone those fuckers just like NY-Boston series of old.
Storm In A Teacup 04.24.19	but none of you believe the Thunder can do that. fuck you all! THUNDER UP! IN OKC I TRUST
SitarHero 04.24.19	Maybe if Westbrook shot over 40% OKC would have a chance. But we all know that's not going to happen.
Storm In A Teacup 04.24.19	i need you guys to be my friends and believe with me for the next hour
SitarHero 04.24.19	I believe Dame gonna drop 70.

EyesWideShut 04.24.19	Next Question
Source 04.24.19	I guess George choking at the line ended up not mattering
SitarHero 04.24.19	It's a lot easier to hit the gamewinner with the scores tied than a gamewinner when you're down.
Source 04.24.19	I think he would have hit it regardless. Some athletes like being in those situations and he's definitely one of them
SitarHero 04.24.19	If they were down 2 they would've rushed a shot so that they'd have a chance to foul and another opportunity if they missed. Being tied meant Dame could take his time and pick his spot. Dame would probably still have hit it, considering the night he had, but the circumstances would have been different and not necessarily physically and mentally as ideal.
SitarHero 04.24.19	I'm happiest for Kanter though. Considering his political situation and his professional situation in NY getting traded to the Blazers was the best thing that could've possibly happened to him and he's playing his damn heart out.
Source 04.24.19	Almost broke his arm while flopping
SitarHero 04.24.19	Ain't no half measures here. xD
Storm In A Teacup 04.24.19	I wonder what kind of trade package we can offer the Spurs for Greg Popovich?

Storm In A Teacup 04.25.19	I am a big fan of two teams. I would never root for anyone or root against anyone if I wasn't a fan of the team. Every year, if my two teams are gone, then I stop watching and don't even know who wins until weeks later. The first team I was a fan of was Michael Jordan's Bulls but only that era. It was great watching them at such an impressionable young age. Luckily, I have always been a Celtics fan since before my Thunder existed. Celtics or bust! The only way I watch more basketball is to root for my boys in green.

SitarHero 04.25.19	I just don't want the finals to involve the warriors or sixers [2] Or the Rockets. That abomination of a basketball style needs to die, die hard...as KILL would say.
Source 04.25.19	Yeah i hate this version of the rockets. "Lets keep jacking up bricks until they miraculously start falling" is pretty much their philosophy, and it's the very reason they lost in the wcf last year. Also I can't stand Harden or Gordon and I've never liked Paul either
Keyblade 04.25.19	that's the direction basketball's been going tho the Rockets are just taking extreme reliance on analytics to its logical conclusion
Source 04.25.19	I wonder what would happen if a team intentionally tried to barely attempt any threes. They'd probably win without much difficulty
SitarHero 04.25.19	The opposite actually. The reason that teams shoot so many 3's is because it's a much larger return on investment than anything except layups. I forget what they call it, but essentially it's why the Bucks shoot half their shots from beyond three point land. They just have to make 33% of those shots in order to beat a team that shoots 50% from inside the arc. I'm not a fan of it, but at least it's not constant iso iso iso flopping and flailing. Harden is an insanely talented basketball player but watching him play makes me want to tear my eyeballs out with a rusty spoon.
Source 04.25.19	For some reason I've always preferred watching players like Duncan and Shaq score effortlessly. ie the type of thing a lot of people find boring

SitarHero 04.27.19	"2013 and 2005 are probably my favs." Bruh. 2005 was one of the worst. I mean, I love great defense but only 2 games did not feature a team scoring less than 80 points. Yuck.
Keyblade 04.27.19	04 was one of my favs, mostly because it broke up the Lakers dynasty that I absolutely despised 97 and 98 got me into ball so those are up there along with 2016 for sure

Keyblade 04.27.19	Spurs were another dynasty I was desperate for the Pistons to dismantle but it never happened, and I've come to have a grudging respect for them over the years that series was a war of attrition
Source 04.27.19	Its strange how they've gone from one of the most hated teams to one of the most respected
SitarHero 04.27.19	"youre just a spurs hater" While this is true, that series was abominable. Offensive incompetence and Tony Parker's proto Harden flop routine.
SitarHero 04.27.19	Let's not forget that the Spurs popularised the modern art of flopping and griping at the refs. Duncan, to this day, believes that he has never committed a foul.

SitarHero 04.29.19	"64% of the rockets attempted field goals were threes" And notice how, despite shooting under 42% from the field, and without a massive disparity in FTs, offensive rebounds or turnovers, they only lost by 4 to an opponent who shot over 50%. The NBA needs to move the 3pt line out to 30 feet. Then only Dame and Curry will benefit from this bullshit.
Source 04.29.19	An L is an L, but they're lucky they didn't lose by 30 or more
SitarHero 04.29.19	Honestly I don't have a problem with all this three point shooting. Strategy is strategy after all. What I do have a problem with is all the fucking ref protection gets when he's not playing the Warriors. The Rockets would have gotten blown out if the refs didn't start calling ticky tack shit on the Warriors.
SitarHero 04.29.19	Remember when the NBA tried to start penalising egregious flopping and then just suddenly forgot all about it?
Source 04.29.19	I can see the rockets getting swept tbh
SitarHero 04.29.19	It's possible, but they'll get hot for at least one game. And the refs will give them another. Dubs in 6.
AlexKzillion 04.29.19	Rockets just lost by 4 in GS in a game where Klay Zaza’d Harden like three times without being called for a foul. No way are they getting swept and I’d be feeling really good if I were a Rockets fan.
Source 04.29.19	I'll be optimistic and give em 5 games
SitarHero 04.29.19	"Rockets just lost by 4 in GS in a game where Klay Zaza’d Harden like three times without being called for a foul. No way are they getting swept and I’d be feeling really good if I were a Rockets fan." Or I'd be feeling really bad because the refs don't seem to want to protect the Rockets as much every time they play the Warriors. I mean, didn't they let KD practically go sit on the bench with the basketball without calling him out of bounds that one time?
Trophycase 04.29.19	I genuinely can't understand anyone defending the Rockets. Harden is the most blatant and egregious flopper in the game and maybe if he got back on defense instead of turning to the refs they might have won instead. If you want legitimate fouls called, maybe don't jump forward 4 feet on purpose and kick your feet out to try and draw a foul. It's just karma coming back around. Maybe if he actually tried to make the shot instead of flying backwards and falling on the ground like he does half the time, he might shoot a higher percentage.

AlexKzillion 04.29.19	“Or I'd be feeling really bad because the refs don't seem to want to protect the Rockets as much every time they play the Warriors.” Lmao what? I’d be fired the fuck up if I was a Rockets fan. You just lost by 4 to GS in oracle game 1 WITHOUT the help/protection of the refs??? Who would be discouraged by that? Yesterday was a huge moral victory for the Rockets yet you guys are acting like they just got their shit kicked in a la the Bucks and Sixers for whatever reason. “I genuinely can't understand anyone defending the Rockets. Harden is the most blatant and egregious flopper in the game and maybe if he got back on defense instead of turning to the refs they might have won instead.” I agree in a vacuum but this is arbitrary when they’re playing the Warriors who are like public enemy no.2 in this regard. KD and Draymond are like the next tier down from Harden and CP3 when it comes to flopping and complaining.
SitarHero 04.29.19	"Lmao what? I’d be fired the fuck up if I was a Rockets fan. You just lost by 4 to GS in oracle game 1 WITHOUT the help/protection of the refs??? Who would be discouraged by that?" The Rockets live and die by refs calls and the refs have made it pretty clear that they're generally going to be swallowing their whistles when the Rockets and Warriors play each other. If the prospect of the Rockets going toe to toe with the Warriors without the refs in their corner fills Rockets fans with anticipation then they're a more foolhardy bunch than I thought.
teamster 04.29.19	Still bucks in 6. Even after that beatdown still laying 8 points tomorrow , what does that tell you. Holy moly.
Trophycase 04.29.19	http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26634745/rockets-audited-18-game-7-say-finals-bid-taken Just an example of the sheer immaturity of the rockets organization and players. No shame lol.
LelandAB 04.29.19	Rockets lost Game 7 because they went 7-44 on 3's, not because the Refs didn't help them, fuck outta here Morey.
SitarHero 04.29.19	The Rockets and Warriors are both shitstick organizations with the way they game the refs. Looks like they're evenly matched though, so they might actually have to...gulp...play basketball.
AlexKzillion 04.29.19	"If the prospect of the Rockets going toe to toe with the Warriors without the refs in their corner fills Rockets fans with anticipation then they're a more foolhardy bunch than I thought." Again, they are literally going toe to toe with them right now without the refs in their corner. They took them to seven games last year without the refs in their corner. I feel like it's deliberately ignorant to NOT think they have a fighter's chance at this point.
Trebor. 04.29.19	playoffs have been whack this year
SitarHero 04.29.19	"Again, they are literally going toe to toe with them right now without the refs in their corner." Yeah, and they literally lost. Doesn't matter if they lose by 30 or lose by 4, they lost. And they will continue to lose because without the referees augmenting every other possession of theirs with a trip to the free throw line they simply cannot run and gun with the Warriors.
Source 04.29.19	Bricking threes and relying on Harden's flopping skills ain't gonna cut it in the playoffs. It's been proven before and it's about to be proven yet again
AlexKzillion 04.29.19	Lol this is ridiculous. The Rockets shot an average of 24.4 free throws per game during the regular season. They shot 29 yesterday. They didn't lose because of the Rockets repellent that is "playoff officiating", they lost because of a cold first quarter, Capela being garbage, and going -13 in the nine minutes P.J. Tucker wasn't on the floor. You can even throw in Paul and D'Antoni's dumb technicals for good measure. This is all way more fixable than the "mu calls" narrative makes it out to be.
Trophycase 04.30.19	Nobody but Rockets fans and salty Warrior haters wants to see the Rockets in the finals anyway. I'd much rather watch the most talented team of this generation as much as I can, especially KD who is the most talented scorer I've seen.
AlexKzillion 04.30.19	I'd very happily take a Dame-time finals over either. I've had enough of the Warriors and as much as I seem to be defending them itt, I don't like the Rockets.

SitarHero 05.01.19	Kyrie coulda scored 40 and it wouldn't have made a difference. You ain't gonna win many games letting your opponent shoot 20-47 from 3, and that's generous because they were something like 18-37 before garbage time.

SitarHero 05.01.19	It'd be funny if Kyrie turned a Conf Finals Celtics team into a Conf Semifinalists flameout Celtics team. ...but that would end up in Kyrie and KD signing with the Knicks.
Source 05.01.19	I think Kyrie mentally checked out on the Celtics awhile ago
SitarHero 05.01.19	Kyrie hasn't proven himself a leader or capable of carrying his team when it needs him. Also, remember how Draymond poked Lebron in the eye during the finals and now he pokes Harden in the eye? Coincidence my ass.
Source 05.01.19	Kyrie isnt a leader. I don't know where people got that from. he's a good partner in crime, but not a leader. The only place he led the Cavs to before LeBron came back was the lottery.
SitarHero 05.01.19	What are the Lakers chances of getting the No. 1 pick? How rad would Lebron and Zion be together?
SitarHero 05.01.19	And nobody except Kyrie thought he was a leader. He wanted to get out of Lebron's shadow and be a finals MVP. Good luck with that.
Source 05.01.19	I've honestly never seen Zion play. I barely watch college ball
Trophycase 05.01.19	I'm pretty pessimistic about big men who can't shoot nowadays personally. He's definitely smart and dominant but I wouldn't trust a pick like that.
SitarHero 05.01.19	He's got good mechanics on his shot so he'll probably be fine with some work. He's just been so dominant physically thus far that he's never needed to work on it, but his jumper isn't a liability like Ben Simmons' is. He's likely to be at least as good a shooter as Giannis, if not better.
Trophycase 05.01.19	If he can be as good as Blake Griffin currently is I'd say he's a success
SitarHero 05.01.19	Yeah I see him as a possible Blake Griffin, though he's got better reach than Griffin (who has almost comically short arms) so he'll probably be a better rebounder and shotblocker.
Source 05.01.19	I didn't realize how good of a season Griffin had until I watched Mike Korzemba's video on it
Trophycase 05.01.19	Yeah, I saw him a few games in the Bucks series and was super impressed by how he has adapted
AlexKzillion 05.01.19	Rockets completely wasted a good shooting night because of dumb turnovers and lazy rebounding. Just could not get out of their own way.
Source 05.01.19	Rockets fans should start feeling discouraged wouldn't you say
LelandAB 05.01.19	I hope people aren't actually buying this idea of Steph disappearing in the playoffs. Dude is averaging 23.3 PPG on 68% true shooting over 8 games. Turns out sharing the court with another Top-5 player is going to sometimes suppress your counting stats!
Source 05.01.19	I mean he's one of the main reasons they collapsed in 2016
LelandAB 05.01.19	He was seriously banged up in the 2016 playoffs. When he's healthy, he's been consistently great.
Source 05.01.19	Idk the media is really quick to pull the "he's not 100%" card with Curry, which is why it basically became a meme
AlexKzillion 05.01.19	“Rockets fans should start feeling discouraged wouldn't you say” I mean yeah now that they are down 0-2. They still aren’t getting blown off the court though even with all the dumb shit they’re doing so I think they have a shot of tying it up now that they’re going back to Houston.

SitarHero 05.03.19	"The NBA isn't just US players, it has a lot of the best players from around the world." But basketball is a team sport. So for there to be a "world" in the title there needs to be TEAMS representing more than 2 countries in the running.

kevbogz 05.04.19	fuck what a game
SitarHero 05.04.19	Jesus, Kyrie is such a little bitch. The Celts shot 4 fewer free throws than the Bucks. Meanwhile the Bucks had twice as many points in the paint. Sure it was the refs. Just like the refs screwed the Rockets not the 27 missed threes.

Source 05.06.19	Embiid rivals Kevin Love regarding softness
SitarHero 05.06.19	That's pretty unfair to Love. Kudos to him and Derozen for speaking up about their struggles with depression and panic attacks. Physical illnesses just require healing or playing through the pain. You can't play through the pain of a mental illness. They're also fairly humble dudes who show up and play hard without show boating or attacking other players. Embiid is a special class of turd.
Source 05.06.19	It really annoyed me last year when Love was laughing it up with reporters while his team was out there giving their all. I remember Jeff Van Gundy complained about it while it was happening
SitarHero 05.06.19	I don't really remember that even though I was following the Cavs, but I don't hold it against Love. The dude has faced more constant criticism and scrutiny since joining the Cavs than any other Cavs player and of course he was buckling under that pressure. Forget winning a championship I'm glad the guy isn't spiraling into suicidal depression. JVG can go fuck himself too.

SitarHero 05.07.19	Me too. But I'm glad he's actually getting some rest. Goddamn the guy has played something like the equivalent of two extra seasons over the course of his career whatwith all the postseason games and Team USA commitments and whatnot. I just hope he's healthy and can actually stay under 35-40mpg next seasons so that his legs are still fresh in the playoffs.

SitarHero 05.07.19	Nobody beats father time. The dude isn't human, but these past 2 seasons he definitely showed flashes of mortality. Hopefully Kawhi gets swept by the Bucks in the Conf finals and comes to his senses about staying in Toronto. Lebron having a fourth act with Kawhi or AD as a teammate would be pretty fucking rad.

I'd comfortably take the Bucks over the Rockets if they were to play each other, and I think the Raptors would have a solid shot against them as well. Just because the Rockets match up well with the Warriors doesn't mean they're the clear second best team still standing.
SitarHero 05.09.19	That's a fair point. The Rockets are a flawed team and have been built to beat the Warriors. It sure would be nice to watch them being nommed by the Bucks or Raps in the finals.

AlexKzillion 05.09.19	Celtics are down double digits at half. Kyrie has 13 points on 16 shots, started off 2/12, and the team as a whole is shooting 26% from the field. Tbh the Bucks don't even look all that special, Boston is just kind of a trainwreck rn.

Source 05.09.19	All i saw was horford freaking out
Skoj 05.09.19	Rockets, top to bottom, match up better at nearly every position than Toronto. Capella was the third best defensive efficiency center and will keep Giannis from going for 40/10 every night. If Houston beats GS, it's Houston Texas getting the crown, straight up.
Trophycase 05.09.19	Paul Pierce was right
Source 05.09.19	I like how the celtics made it way further last year without kyrie
Trophycase 05.09.19	tbf the Bucks and the Raptors are both better this year and probably better than the Cavs were last year
SitarHero 05.09.19	Brown and Tatum have regressed and Horford has gotten older. Kyrie has always been an overrated aspect of that scenario because they won last year through a combination of hustle, great coaching and Horford holding everything together on the court.
Trophycase 05.09.19	What a comeback after getting completely manhandled by the Celtics game 1. I almost agreed with Pierce
SitarHero 05.09.19	"tbf the Bucks and the Raptors are both better this year and probably better than the Cavs were last year" The Bucks and Raptors were both better than the Cavs last year, but you can never count out a team that has Lebron on it.
Source 05.09.19	Taunting LeBron last year and then immediately suffering the consequences broke Tatum

SitarHero 05.09.19	I also keep forgetting that Gordon Hayward was an All Star. He didn't show up either. I kinda get the feeling that their locker room has been a toxic nightmare all season and everyone just wanted the season over.
Source 05.09.19	Yeah something tells me they'll blow it up in the offseason
SitarHero 05.09.19	I wonder if New Orleans still thinks Brown and Tatum are worth AD.
Source 05.09.19	I mean they had one bad postseason and they're young. But it is weird compared to their run last postseason
SitarHero 05.09.19	It's good for the Lakers though. Any drop in Tatum and Brown's stock works in their favour. It's too bad Ingram and Lonzo didn't develop much this season either. And it'd be a shame to get rid of Kuzma, but I suppose that it would be worthwhile in order to get AD.
ZippaThaRippa 05.09.19	I expected this to be the closest series of the bunch. Damn was I wrong. I wonder how either the Sixers or the Raps are gonna fare against this massive Bucks team. They’re just so damn brutal out there and they have Brogdon back as well. They’ve got presence in the paint, shooting, incredible defense and so much depth.

SitarHero 05.09.19	"I expected this to be the closest series of the bunch. Damn was I wrong" It must be Antetokuonpo's mean mugging. The dude's a monster mamma jamma, but he still has the face of a 13 year old and his mean mug is distractingly hilarious.

SitarHero 05.09.19	Naah, that's actually one of the few things I didn't think he was. But he was (at the time) everything I thought was wrong about the game of basketball and the antithesis to guys like Nash and Lebron.

Trophycase 05.11.19	To be fair, Curry was getting doubled and trapped literally the whole game. I think the Rockets whole gameplan was to force the Warriors role players to do stuff, and thankfully most of em stepped up.

SitarHero 05.13.19	Parker was the original flopper extraordinaire. I hated watching that dude play. And by sex scandal do you mean boning Brent Barry's wife? Cos that's just the douchebag cherry on the yeast infection cake.
EyesWideShut 05.13.19	GO RIP CITY and yea Lillard was coasting most of the series and needs to kick it up a notch.. I think playing GS will do that.
Source 05.13.19	Ginobili is the flopper extraordinaire
SitarHero 05.13.19	Ginobili actually got hit constantly though because of how unpredictable his game was. He was always moving in directions nobody expected. Yeah, he sometimes exaggerated contact, but he didn't become a true flopper until later in his career when it had already become popular. In the early-mid-2000s Tony Parker literally couldn't take a layup without hitting the floor, regardless of whether he was touched or not.
Dmax28 05.13.19	Raptors paid off the rim. Plain and simple. That bounce doesn't happen without Adam Silver being in the Raptor's pocket. I wouldn't be surprised if the 76ers were paid off to take the fall as well. The last play was rehearsed.

Source 05.13.19	less?
SitarHero 05.13.19	KD and Boogie will have not seen the court in a while. Curry has, except for one half of one game been half a Curry all playoffs long. That leaves Klay, Dray and Dre doing the heavy lifting, and if there's one thing you don't want it's those three guys doing all your lifting. Maybe KD and Curry will be 100% by the time the Blazers series starts, but as it looks right now the Warriors are the most vulnerable they've ever been in the playoffs.
SitarHero 05.14.19	Lol, no one at ESPN is giving the Blazers a shot at going 7 games, let alone winning the series. And KD is gonna be out for at least one game.
LelandAB 05.14.19	Dame and CJ will combine for 80 in at least one game, but no way Portland pushes this series past 6 games.

Dmax28 05.15.19	I don't have ESPN or TNT so I have to watch the free live streams and it's funny how the stream for TNT overtime takes all the atmosphere out of the game and makes it seem boring as hell, and on the other hand, ESPN's free stream may be the most intense way to watch the game.

Ryus 05.15.19	as a knicks fan im slightly pissed but not that pissed at least we didnt fall further than 3rd
Trophycase 05.16.19	Meh do the pels even want AD to stay still? You got Zion, just trade off AD for a bunch of pieces and picks, tank for 2 years and you got yourselves a franchise.
Storm In A Teacup 05.16.19	What up yo I'm talking about the tanking teams losing the lottery 😂😂
Ryus 05.16.19	toronto really shat the bed there. scoreless in the last 3 minutes bruh why danny green sucks also
Storm In A Teacup 05.16.19	Nah trophy that won't work. They're gonna do it right.
SitarHero 05.16.19	They evened out the lottery odds to prevent tanking. Guess it worked. Also, AD is only 26 which is crazy. No point sitting around waiting for another player like AD to come along because that shit isn't gonna happen. If the Pels wanna start winning now's the time.
SitarHero 05.16.19	Shit! Too bad Pau Gasol is out. We came THIS close to seeing brothers play each other in both conf finals.
AlexKzillion 05.16.19	If I were the Pels I’d go full youth movement cause I doubt AD changes his mind just because of Zion. A trade with the Lakers prob nets them Lonzo/BI/Kuzma/4th pick. Lonzo/Jrue/BI/Zion/center with Kuzma and one of Culver/Hunter/Garland coming off the bench is a fucking core.
SitarHero 05.16.19	Trading AD for Lonzo, BI and Kuzma is a massive trade-down for the Pels. Kuzma is the only guy whose value went up last season despite Lonzo and Ingram basically being given the keys to the franchise. And Kuzma basically plays the same position as Zion. It the Pels hold on to AD (who's two years younger than Jrue and only 3 years older than Kuzma) they have a starting frontcourt that can dominate the league for the next 5-8 years at least. They have two generational talents on the books, kind of like Philly does with Embiid and Simmons, but even moreso because neither AD nor Zion are as glaringly flawed as Simmons.
SitarHero 05.16.19	That being said, I really do hope the Pels pull the trigger on the trade because the only downside to AD playing with Lebron is, what jersey # is he going to wear?
Source 05.16.19	The draft lottery has always seemed really shady to me
AlexKzillion 05.17.19	“Trading AD for Lonzo, BI and Kuzma is a massive trade-down for the Pels.” The Pels are never gonna fair value for AD tho, and the longer they hold onto him the less trade value he has. I feel like they’d be better off trading him while they can still get half decent value for him as opposed to keeping him for another year and praying he changes his mind and risk him walking for nothing. They’re gonna have Zion now so I don’t think trading AD will be the white flag to winning it would’ve been six months ago.
Skoj 05.17.19	well the zoloft finally hit a nice serum concentration and I can function in society again. Rockets lost that series off terrible Chris Paul and Capella play. Refs, for reasons I still don't understand, swallowed their whistles in that series statistically more than any other, but we still didn't play well enough. Zion goes back for another year, he won't go play in NOLA, AD or otherwise.
Dmax28 05.17.19	And so the Blazer's lead dissolves, as we had all foreseen it.
SitarHero 05.17.19	The Warriors gonna make their 3rd quarter runs. Scores tied with one quarter to go isnt a bad place to be.
Dmax28 05.17.19	Blazer's in a good spot. I like the Warriors too, but I just can't help rooting for the under dogs. And the Blazers are such a likable team.
Dmax28 05.17.19	Damn, choke city.
AlexKzillion 05.17.19	Oof yeah the Blazers had that one, but they gave GS way too many easy baskets down the stretch.
SitarHero 05.17.19	Blazers gonna be pissed at themselves for letting that slip away. They better come out gunning in game 3.
Dmax28 05.17.19	Yea I didn't see the Warriors having to take any tough shots down the stretch. It even looked like the Warriors were starting to accept it didn't look good at one point and then boom, they win.
EyesWideShut 05.17.19	Fuck.. the blew that one.. I dont even care bout them winning the series at this point, just dont get swept.
J0ckstrapsFTW 05.17.19	I'm from Portland and I NEVER expected them to even win a game. One would be nice but realistically this series is fucked for the blazers.
unclereich 05.17.19	Kd aint comin back at all this injury sounds worse and worse
Skoj 05.17.19	I bet Golden State doesn't lose a game here forward. This roster is playing unmistakably like the 2015-16 team. League fucked, Durant to the Rockets, H-H-H-H-TINE SHUT IT DINE
unclereich 05.17.19	Except the bench isnt as good, but the competition isnt as good either. Durant would have to be insane to leave gsw he’ll never win another ring
Trophycase 05.17.19	Nah we knew KD wouldn't be back from the start. You don't immediately rule out KD for the rest of the most important series until the finals unless it is a week-to-week injury rather than a day-to-day
EyesWideShut 05.17.19	if KD doesnt leave GS he's by far the most spineless superstar to ever play the game.. that no exaggeration either.. But I can totally see KD trolling everyone with "why would I ever leave" lmao.
SitarHero 05.17.19	Why would he leave though? He likes his GM, coach and teammates, is winning chips and awards and is getting paid. The only downside is...boredom? He should leave that for the institutional dysfunction that is the Knicks? Joining the Warriors was spineless. Leaving them would be hilariously dumb.
EyesWideShut 05.17.19	I mean if you want to be considered a "great" and care about the competitive spirit of the game he should leave.. what superstar enjoys just waltzing into the finals every year and winning a ring nobody really cares about for more than a week.
SitarHero 05.17.19	"what superstar enjoys just waltzing into the finals every year and winning a ring" Is that a serious question or...?

LelandAB 05.17.19	Milwaukee and Toronto are both fantastic teams with elite defenders, it won't be a snoozefest even if Durant does play
SitarHero 05.17.19	Toronto can't score the basketball for shit though. Milwaukee is legit though, despite their inexperience.
LelandAB 05.17.19	Milwaukee is legit, and deep. Toronto can at least give the ball to Kawhi and have him just take over.
SitarHero 05.17.19	Yeah, but there's no way Kawhi is beating the Warriors by himself. The Warriors were built to beat Lebron and Kawhi, as great as he is, is no Lebron.
Source 05.17.19	I think it will be a better series if Toronto is their opponent. Simply because of Kawhi
SitarHero 05.17.19	No offense, but you're crazy if you think a Toronto team that went 7 games with a shitty Embiid and a just plain shit Ben Simmons and had to win game 7 on 4-bounce buzzer beater is going to not get swept by Golden State.
Source 05.17.19	I guess you're right. It might go 5 games if the bucks are their opponent

Uzumaki 05.18.19	Even though the Bucks went up 2-0, I’ll still agree with your statement, Source.
Uzumaki 05.18.19	Solid front 5, and their defense is good.
Skoj 05.18.19	I don't know how much yall watched GW in 2015, but this is it. This bench is nothing to fuck with defensively, especially Looney. They're gonna sweep Portland, and I have zero faith the Bucks win a single game. Raptors may win a home game. And Durant is hilariously dumb and full of hubris. He's gonna go play with people he wants to play with, not rings or money. That's why it'll be Houston or LA. He wants nothing to do with 1B players like Irving, Green, or Davis who believe themselves to be 1A. It's gonna be him and Harden or him and LBJ, and boy oh boy does Houston look like a better destination. Their salary cap, on the other hand...
Dmax28 05.18.19	Golden State is so much more fun without Durant. It's amazing how Curry, Klay, and Draymond got better immediately when he left. But we will see how things keep up.
Source 05.18.19	"I don't know how much yall watched GW in 2015, but this is it" Yes we watched them. The lineup that never legitimately won a finals
SitarHero 05.18.19	Y'all keep sleeping on Milwaukee at your own peril. They're gonna win this one in 5 because Toronto is CLEARLY overmatched. They have the best defense in the league and the 4th best offense. They have the league's (probable) MVP who is basically the most unstoppable player in the league right now, as well as one of the deepest benches. They've lost just ONE game so far in the playoffs to a Celtics team that had all the momentum in the world and then just crushed them to the point where a budding dynasty looks like a ton of detritus. If KD doesn't come back by Finals time (assuming Portland doesn't pull off a miracle) and doesn't look his MVP calibre self Milwaukee is gonna curbstomp the Warriors too. Hell, even if KD comes back I'm not betting against Milwaukee.
Source 05.18.19	"Hell, even if KD comes back I'm not betting against Milwaukee" Yikes
AlexKzillion 05.18.19	I’m surprised the Raptors look so helpless against the Bucks but I shouldn’t be. This Bucks teams’ MoV is like top 20 all time, with the majority of the teams just slightly above them winning the title.
SitarHero 05.18.19	I think MoV is a misleading stat for a team like the Bucks because of how many 3s they shoot. A ton of both their wins in the reg season were huge blowouts. But that being said their def rating is excellent and their offensive rating is very very good. It helps when they've got guys like Middleton and Bledsoe who can consistently create their own shots, and Giannis who is freaking unstoppable right now. Did you see him absolutely bully Kawhi?! Who does that?!
SitarHero 05.18.19	This shit is just nasty. https://youtu.be/MU4oFyHn4bQ?t=188

SitarHero 05.21.19	RIP Rip City. Milwaukee still gonna take it all though, barring some kind of massive meltdown.
Uzumaki 05.21.19	They’ve got to figure out Toronto first.
SitarHero 05.21.19	I think they've figured out Toronto. Giannis, Middleton and Bledsoe had to shoot a combined 11-48 (23%) in order for them to lose to Toronto in double OT. I think they'll be fine as long as they don't do that again.
Uzumaki 05.21.19	Agreed. Props for them taking it into double OT; those open 3's they were leaving was just maddening though. They've got to figure a way for Giannis to break it into the paint, and that probably means for Bledsoe and Hill to really push the pace.

teamster 05.26.19	As a huge Bucks fan (live in Milwaukee since I was 5 ), I am bummed. Hard to believe they lost 4 in a row. They lost two in a row twice all year. Teams that start 2-0 in 7 game series win the series 94% of the .time. Holy moly. They need one more all star. Only way to do that is via trade. Other option is let Middleton go and sign Brogdon, Lopez and Mirotic and play Snell and Connington at shooting guard. I wish Jabari Parker wanted to stay In Milwaukee, could have been that guy.
Source 05.27.19	The question is will this break the Bucks next season or will it galvanize the troops

Keyblade 06.06.19	Pascal cookin
SitarHero 06.06.19	Raptors better not fall asleep on offense in the third.
SitarHero 06.06.19	Also, I gotta say Curry and the Warriors get some massive leeway from everyone. Warriors have a 2-time MVP, a defensive first teamer, a finals MVP, and Demarcus Cousins, and everyone's still all "OMG HOW ARE THE WARRIORS STILL COMPETITIVE?!".
Trophycase 06.06.19	Uh I don't think a lot of those guys are in this game...
SitarHero 06.06.19	Curry, Green, Iguodala, Cousins
Trophycase 06.06.19	WAit, wait, you might just be right
Keyblade 06.06.19	Curry flopping all over the place. feel like I'm watching soccer. dude keeps hitting that Ashley Young lean into the player and draw the foul joint
Dmax28 06.06.19	Well no matter what you think, out of those 4 guys, only Curry looks like anything more than a medicore/average role player tonight. Every time anyone but him scores it feels like a miracle. Meanwhile, Lowry and Danny Green are the new splash bros.
Keyblade 06.06.19	explanation: good raptors defense
WatchItExplode 06.06.19	Preach
SitarHero 06.06.19	Of course all the non-Curry warriors look mediocre trying to shoot a shitload of threes when that isn't their game. Someone should tell the Warriors that shots made inside the 3pt line also count. They're gunning when they should be grinding and Curry is just shooting for 50 at this point.
Dmax28 06.06.19	Even with average defense, would you really be concerned about Iguodala and Green's offensive output potential?
Dmax28 06.06.19	That's a great point Sitar.
SitarHero 06.06.19	Still a good game though. I think Klay's defense on the wing was missed more than his offense tbh. Green and Lowry came to play today.
Dmax28 06.06.19	Yea. Do you think the warriors can afford to rest Durant any longer? Or maybe his injury is much worse than they are letting on and he really is done.
Keyblade 06.06.19	must feel weird being a regular team now
Uzumaki 06.06.19	“... Someone should tell the Warriors that shots made inside the 3pt line also count.” Someone needed to tell the Bucks this when they were playing the Raptors as well.
Source 06.06.19	2 more :D
Keyblade 06.06.19	man it should really be 3-0 :[
Source 06.06.19	But this way they have a chance to win it in toronto
SitarHero 06.06.19	"Do you think the warriors can afford to rest Durant any longer? Or maybe his injury is much worse than they are letting on and he really is done." I definitely think his injury is worse. He hasn't even started full contact scrimmaging yet and who knows what state his conditioning is in right now. I personally don't think it makes sense for him to risk aggravating an injury in a contract year, but KD always wanted to be the hero saviour so he'll probably come back at some point.
SitarHero 06.06.19	"Someone needed to tell the Bucks this when they were playing the Raptors as well." In the Bucks defense they're still young and inexperienced and they weren't wracked by injuries. They probably didn't think they needed to change their gameplan to keep winning, but they'll probably be smarter next year. Meanwhile the Warriors have been doing this for a while now. Kerr and Curry are way too experienced and smart to let themselves think that The Warriors were going to outshoot the Raptors.
Source 06.06.19	I wonder what Stephen A is saying now
Uzumaki 06.06.19	“In The Bucks defense...” True, it was just frustrating to see them acquiesce to the Raptors style of defense and rely too much on trying to make the 3 ball, and a little bit of that frustration came back when I typed that out last night/this morning.
Source 06.06.19	The bucks suffered from what is known as rockets syndrome
SitarHero 06.06.19	Stephen A: "If the Warriors were down 3-1 and KD and Klay were coming back I'd still be sitting here telling you 'they comin back'." There's a lot of legacies at stake here. Can Curry succeed without KD? Do the Warriors really need KD? Does Kawhi have what it takes to put away a shorthanded Warriors team. All the while I'm thinking, "WHY THE FUCK COULDN'T THE WARRIORS HAVE BEEN THIS BANGED UP EITHER OF THE LAST TWO YEARS M*****F****** S*****B****!"
SitarHero 06.06.19	And I think the difference between the BUcks and the Rockets is that the Rockets can ONLY play the one way because they've been built to a specific offensive philosophy that's been their MO for the past 3-4 years now. The Bucks meanwhile are still finding themselves and having a guy like Giannis who's still getting better and stronger and more skilled means they have the option of changing up their game. They just choked in the Conf Finals, but I wouldn't count on it happening again.
Source 06.06.19	The real question is if the warriors lose, will fans cry about their team's injuries despite making fun of Cavs fans for crying about their team's injuries in 2015?
Keyblade 06.06.19	the bucks were so successful in the regular season that they probably thought they didn't need a gameplan beyond 'giannis drive and score if not kick it out to sharp shooters for a 3"
SitarHero 06.06.19	They won't have to because EVERYONE is already doing it for them.

Source 06.06.19	Not salty. I can just sense the hypocrisy already
SitarHero 06.06.19	Hey, we have a right to be salty. People are acting like Curry's leading a team of scrubs that wouldn't make the playoffs when it's basically the 2015 Championship team minus Klay.
Trophycase 06.06.19	Curry could have terminal cancer and people would still be spouting the whole "5 AlL sTaRs" bullshit or some derivative thereof
Keyblade 06.06.19	pretty insulting to the raps too Warriors fans acting like this is the 07 Cavs, foh
Trophycase 06.06.19	Basically the 2015 championship plus 4 years older and 4 years of wear. Cousins has yet to prove he is capable of playing at an all star level at all (I legitimately can't remember a game this year where he has). Livingston is basically the ghost of Shaun Livingston, Iggy is playing great for his age. Dray is Dray. And Looney, who is arguably their best bench player at this point, is still out. Anyone who watched some of the lineups on the floor last night and still want to call this team capable of winning a finals is pretty laughable
SitarHero 06.06.19	If you're an MVP candidate then the last thing you should be allowed to do is have excuses because the other MVP candidate and the 2 of the remaining 4 All-Star/Finals MVPs on your team are banged up. Just saying. Maybe Curry just doesn't have the Jordan gene. Yeah, that's probably what it is. :D
Trophycase 06.06.19	How is it insulting to the raps? Most people would tell you the Warriors "broke basketball" and that the NBA was "unwatchable". The fact that they have a great shot at winning it all should be a testament to how idiotic that notion was in the first place, or at least a testament to how great the Raps are playing, at least it should be in their eyes.

SitarHero 06.06.19	It's insulting to the Raps because the constant insinuation is that there should be an asterisk next their win (assuming they win) because the Warriors aren't 100% healthy.

SitarHero 06.06.19	The Warriors as a team are banged up. But unless their entire "Hamptons 5" or "Lineup of Death" or whatever cutesy name was made for them is out then they're still the Warriors. And Iggy could be as old as Carter, but as long as he's rated one of the best wing defenders in the league, which he still is, and has enough athleticism to throw down alley oops effortlessly, then he's still a threat. The Iggy playing today is about 85%-90% of the Iggy who won MVP, not some scrub who came out of retirement because the Warriors couldn't suit up 7 players.
Trophycase 06.06.19	Ok, I'll give that an asterisk, as long as we can stop referring to Iggy as a "Finals MVP" for the purposes of argumentation. I guess his finals MVP should get an asterisk.

Ryus 06.06.19	"Damn some salty warriors haters in here." haha idk man you sound like the salty one
JoeTex 06.06.19	90s Rockets were the best
Trophycase 06.06.19	"haha idk man you sound like the salty one" Objection: SitarHero has admitted to being salty
SitarHero 06.06.19	"As long as it exists in the minds and hearts of salty haters such as yourself, then the asterisk is alive." Lol, naah. I mean, that's just how the ball bounces. The only thing I'm salty about 2015 was Lebron not getting MVP despite almost singlehandedly carrying the Cavs to 6 games (no offense to Matty Dellavedova). It made the 2016 victory all the sweeter.
Ryus 06.06.19	didnt look too carefully but im sure nigh everyone is salty up in here
Trophycase 06.06.19	Also my Objectivity Score is higher than SitarHero's. Therefore my arguments are more reasoned and logical while he is a naive fanboy.
guitarded_chuck 06.06.19	"No offense, but you're crazy if you think a Toronto team that went 7 games with a shitty Embiid and a just plain shit Ben Simmons and had to win game 7 on 4-bounce buzzer beater is going to not get swept by Golden State." this post did NOT age well

Trophycase 06.06.19	I think what that post is saying is that Philly is the rightful owner of this championship.

SitarHero 06.06.19	Oh god, can you imagine? Honestly, the only teams I would want to see win a championship less than I want to see the Warriors win are Philly and Houston.
guitarded_chuck 06.06.19	wtf

Trophycase 06.06.19	As puss as KD may have been, Kawhi really pulled some bullshit last year
SitarHero 06.06.19	The Raps blocked a shot that was going out of bounds. Lowry chased after it and dove into the stands to try and save it in. Some blond female with a courtside seat was standing in its path (and actually tried to swat at the ball, she should have been banned too) and almost got mowed down by Lowry. Then when Lowry was trying to pick himself up the dude sitting next to the woman shoved him for no apparent reason.
Source 06.06.19	Kawhi is a robot. Much more likeable than Durant
Keyblade 06.06.19	he's a warriors investor and was banned for 'the rest of the finals'...so 2 games max ppl made more out of Drake massaging his own coach during a W
zakalwe 06.06.19	Total fucking drivel
Keyblade 06.06.19	what is
SitarHero 06.06.19	Drake needed the reprimand tbh, even if his actions were harmless. But investor dude needs either a season's ban or needs to try that shit with Lowry in the parking lot.
zakalwe 06.06.19	Franchised yank sports. Rubbish. Absolute fucking rubbish.
SitarHero 06.06.19	Okay grandpa.
zakalwe 06.06.19	I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again. Love the US. Adore the East Coast. Yank sports can fuck themselves though.
SitarHero 06.06.19	Fascinating.
zakalwe 06.06.19	Franchised drivel
Keyblade 06.06.19	to give zak perspective of the kind of discourse we're having, it's basically like if man city lost the title to Liverpool and City fans dismissing it as noteworthy because David Silva was injured all season
SitarHero 06.06.19	Lol, zak doesn't need perspective. He's just drunk and lonely and curmudgeonly and needed someone to talk to. He needs friends.
zakalwe 06.06.19	You’re nearly there key mate. Good effort. What I’m getting at is, there was absolutely no way on this planet football was a ‘commodity’ Your team was/is everything. Everything you work for, believe in, adhere to, strive for was your club. This was passed down from generation to generation, the whole city/area stops for 90mns while the game is played and when it ends it’s talked about until the next game. Wearing a top, buying a scarf, hollering nonsense is bollocks. Fucking foam finger? Fucking re-branding? Live it. Slags.
Keyblade 06.06.19	it's literally the same in the NBA, at least it is in my city football is just as commodified, have fun playing in Betway stadium next season
Trophycase 06.06.19	Implying someone isn't getting rich off your FUTBOL fandom. Also joke's on you cause I pirate every game and own no merch.
SitarHero 06.06.19	Pretty sad existence to have a significant chunk of the validation in your life be vicariously wrapped up in the success of a bunch of billionaires and millionaires. You've been sold a commodity and told it's your identity and you bought it.
zakalwe 06.06.19	Germans, Dutch, Italians get it. South American’s do as well to be fair.
Trophycase 06.06.19	Is it more or less sad than you commenting in a thread on a topic you care nothing about other than to make yourself feel... good, I guess?
SitarHero 06.06.19	^Wait was that directed at me?
Keyblade 06.06.19	tfw ur shoveling money into the pockets of American owners who view ur club as a business to make a profit on but complain about commodified yank sports
zakalwe 06.06.19	I love coating off yank sports tbh. Absolute fucking shit.
Trophycase 06.06.19	"Wait was that directed at me?" Whoever came in here to shit on people for liking teams
zakalwe 06.06.19	Just yank sports bro. Useless
SitarHero 06.06.19	Lol, I didn't come in here to shit on people for liking teams. I came in here because I enjoy the sport of basketball despite not giving two shits about the teams themselves. But Zak just proves my point. If you're the kind of person who's all "fuck everyone else and all other teams and sports because my team and my sport is the fucking best and is the one true team and sport and nobody cares as much as I and my fellow team fans do" then you're just as delusional though slightly less dangerous than the average fundamentalist jihadi. Anyhow, I promised not to talk about this anymore so let's go back to talking about the finals and shitting on the Sixers.

Trophycase 06.06.19	I can see it now
zakalwe 06.06.19	Key you genuinely do get it. I time and time again have thought ‘fuck this’ but credit where it’s due Tottenham and about 40% of the prem still have ‘roots’ If the new stadium was knocked up in an industrial estate in North London I genuinely was going to give up. Lower leagues are proper.
SitarHero 06.06.19	The league and the Warriors have banned douchebag investor for a year and fined him half a mil. Nice. Now what are the odds that this turns into a "WHATABOUT DRAKE" narrative when the series goes back to Toronto?

SitarHero 06.08.19	Ain't over till it's over. Raps do deserve this though. I wonder if Dray is gonna go get Harden this summer if the warriors lose.
rockandmetaljunkie 06.08.19	Thus, the Jordan-bulls vs warriors debate is officially over. Face the facts guys. There will never be a more dominant franchise than the Chicago Bulls of the '90s.
SitarHero 06.08.19	I think you mean the Celtics of the '60s.
rockandmetaljunkie 06.08.19	i mean what i meant
SitarHero 06.08.19	Sorry bud, but there has already been a more dominant franchise than the Bulls. Fax is fax. xD
rockandmetaljunkie 06.08.19	there wasn't enough competition in the '60s
rockandmetaljunkie 06.08.19	i know how this conversation will unfold but who cares
Trophycase 06.08.19	Pretty idiotic statment considering there has only been 40 years of basketball history according to you.
Source 06.08.19	"I think you mean the Celtics of the '60s." That doesn't count lol
SitarHero 06.08.19	Lol, only cos it fucks up the "Jordan and the Bulls are the GOATs" narrative. Dont get me wrong, Jordan is the reason I care about ball, but he ain't untouchable.
Source 06.08.19	I assumed you hate Jordan since he and Kobe are basically the same type of player
SitarHero 06.08.19	Naah. Jordan was a douchebag, but he wasn't a selfish player. Or maybe I was just too young to know any better cos I used to practice the tongue wag and shrug xD
Source 06.08.19	I don't remember watching him play live except for the 96 finals, but watching hardwood classics and whatnot he kinda seems like Kobe to me
Keyblade 06.08.19	Jordan got me into ball too, will always be my goat. I like LeBron more now tho, better ambassador for the league. MJ was in his own little world, still kinda is
SitarHero 06.08.19	One of MJ's signature plays was passing to Paxson for the 3 to win Game 6 of the '93 finals. He also shot better than 50% from the field for most of his career and averaged more assists than Kobe despite not being the team's primary ballhandler/offensive initiator. His reputation as a ballhog was overblown. However, if he passed to you and you missed he was likely to punch you, so he was definitely a douchebag. xD
SitarHero 06.08.19	I mean, for his era yeah he was probably a ballhog because there were few players with his ability to go one on one and score, but the guys who came after him and emulated him (like Kobe) took that to be the only noteworthy aspect of his game when he was actually a more than willing passer late in games.
Keyblade 06.08.19	I think Kawhi is the closest we've seen to MJ. the deadly efficiency and unwavering drive to win reminds me more of MJ than the 30 moves Kobe tried to emulate
SitarHero 06.08.19	I agree with that assessment. There was a moment during the Philly series when I had sudden MJ deja vu with Kawhi. It was on a fast break and he cupped the ball with one hand before throwing down the dunk and I was like HOLY SHIT that's an MJ move! But yeah, his efficiency and decision making in addition to his pure scoring ability, defense and mid-range game make him the most MJ-esque player we've seen since MJ.
SitarHero 06.10.19	Raps gonna take the Warriors out back tonight and put em out of their misery? Or Warriors gonna wrangle a victory so they can go home and disappoint their "fans" one more time?
Source 06.10.19	I'd be fine with either

SitarHero 06.10.19	"expecting Toronto crowds to be nuts" So they will politely clap and maybe even shake each other's hands while saying "Good game, eh?"
EyesWideShut 06.10.19	sounds about eh
Uzumaki 06.10.19	So since Kevin Durant is expected to play in Game 5, how much longer do we have to wait before the Raps trot out Uncle Drew?
Source 06.10.19	He's magically healthy right on schedule just like I predicted lol. They underestimated the raptors and didnt think they would need Durant.
SitarHero 06.10.19	Uncle Drew? What does Kyrie have to do with anything?
SitarHero 06.10.19	And I doubt that Durant is ready to play. Dude has had one (truncated) practice with the team. His conditioning and rhythm are bound to be shit. My gut feeling is that this is a desperation decoy move by the Warriors. They probably hope the Raptors give him more attention than he needs so that the defense can't smother Curry and Klay and everyone else the way they have been so far.
Uzumaki 06.10.19	Well, I wasn’t specifically referring to Kyrie, I was just making light of the situation that (supposedly) Durant is back, in a do-or-die game 5, and was making a comedic tit for tat joke.
SitarHero 06.10.19	Ah, I see. That went over my head.

They're literally human garbage, after cheering for another human beings injury and yeah I watched both the vids of Kawhi and KD's crowd reaction to the injuries. They were completely different. I also saw the Raptors home crowd outside the stadium full on cheer for KD's injury, classless.
teamster 06.11.19	I’ll state the mandatory cliched phrase at the moment : The Raptors better win game 6 or ....
SitarHero 06.11.19	We're they cheering KD's injury or were they cheering for KD for trying to play through the injury?

SitarHero 06.11.19	Even if his achilles wasn't torn in the Rockets series, it's definitely busted now. I feel sorry for the guy, but it was his own hubris that caused this. Kerr didn't play Klay in Game 3 and I'm sure he wouldn't have played KD in this game if his hand wasn't forced.
LelandAB 06.11.19	Raptors fans clearly cheering the injury. Many fans could be seen on TV waving at him on the ground. Fuck that forever. Also, you can't stop elimination game Klay Thompson.
Keyblade 06.11.19	I don't think anybody fully grasped the severity of the situation in the moment. pretty sure every arena bar Oracle would have reacted the same way. the pearl clutching is honestly wack if we're gonna criticize anything it should be sports fandom or even just nba fandom in general instead of the reductive zeroing in on a single teams fans like the rest are any different

SitarHero 06.14.19	Klay is a bit of a douche tbh. I mean, he's usually the guy passive-aggressively dissing other teams and players in the media ("some people got their feelings hurt") but the dude was also possibly the most important member of the Warriors. Unselfishly letting KD and Curry get theirs instead of looking for his own shot. Pulling the toughest defensive assignments etc. His shooting was basically the only thing keeping the Warriors in the series. The Warriors owe him a supermax contract even if he doesn't play a second next season.
Source 06.14.19	Green is the only one I 100% can't stand
Keyblade 06.14.19	Klay is mad annoying, says a lot of slick shit and likes to gas himself when he makes a couple of shots, but I can't knock his heart
dangerousdarrin 06.14.19	Klay was incredible last night before he got hurt. I wish we could've had a Game 7 just for how entertaining the series was. I'm very sad for the Warriors, even though I'm a Mavs fan
SitarHero 06.14.19	Yeah dude has heart and he proved it last night. But on a lighter note the guy mostly annoys me cos of the way he walks. His exaggerated swagger looks like every gangsta rap-loving dumbass white jock you ever knew in high school and college. I know he's in the top 1% of athletes on the planet and is actually black, but it still annoys me. xD
Keyblade 06.14.19	there was one shot he made in the first half and he was still flexing and swaggering back on the halfway line like 10 secs after the play like chill bro it's the 2nd quarter

Keyblade 06.15.19	I can def see that. there was a time I was into it, like the Carlos Delgado days. it's a little daunting now to get back into, forgot everything. American football is similar but even tho I forgot a lot it's much easier to get back into

Keyblade 06.15.19	soccer is beautiful especially high level play. it's a tactical game and watching the little micro battles and see who comes out on top is great. the worst part is the lack of parity tbh but as a game I think it's the complete package Hockey at its best reminds me of soccer. it can become a battle of attrition sometimes but the Europeans play it like soccer. haven't watched that either for a while but I used to be super into it back in the day

guitarded_chuck 06.17.19	Seriously. The Spurs is the greatest basketball organization on the planet, bar none. None of the glamour of the Lakers or Celtics or Knicks, but none of the dysfunction either and better results than any of them can shake a banner at. Which makes it all the more headscratchingly confusing that Kawhi chose to leave and head to Toronto. Maybe after a few years of getting knocked out of the Conf Finals by the burgeoning Milwaukee Juggernauts he'll come to his senses.

Source 06.17.19	To me betraying the Heat is the only lame thing LeBron has ever done
SitarHero 06.17.19	I don't think he owed as much to the Heat as he did to Wade. Wade took the biggest pay cut for Lebron and Bosh to come to the Heat after all. The Heat were lucky to get Lebron and Bosh in the first place and got 4 years of being the undisputed centre of the basketball universe out of it. They should be grateful to Lebron for that.
guitarded_chuck 06.17.19	he went to the lakers and then proceeded to miss the playoffs is the lamest thing lebron has ever done
Keyblade 06.17.19	yea he blessed the heat for a few years then went back home, if anything the heat owe him
Source 06.17.19	Did anyone really expect the lakers to make the playoffs though
SitarHero 06.17.19	They were a seventh seed before Bron got hurt and the kids shat the bed. Speaking of which, the Lakers managed to get Anthony Davis AND get rid of Lavar Ball. That's a pretty sweet trade.

EyesWideShut 06.17.19	"I wouldn't put the Heat in the same tier. Pat Riley's reaction to Lebron leaving and going back to Cleveland was almost as bad as Dan Gilbert's." Not really dude.. Pat was honest instead of bending over for Lebron and his crew.. Losing is part of the game and it's happened to him all but one year since leaving the Heat. Lets not forget it was Lebron who choked against Dallas.
EyesWideShut 06.17.19	LMAO Imagine thinking the Heat OWE Bron anything.. Nobody wanted to play in Cleveland.. Period.. The league rigged the draft for them hoping to make some kind of rivalry.
SitarHero 06.17.19	Lolwut? There's a lot to unpack here. "Pat was honest instead of bending over for Lebron and his crew" I'm talking about Riley being a little bitch and STILL sulking 5 years later because Lebron wouldn't re-sign with The Heat. Does acting like an adult and a professional = bending over backwards? In his defence he at least didn't write an open letter in comic sans, but he's still acting like a jilted ex-wife. "Losing is part of the game and it's happened to him all but one year since leaving the Heat. Lets not forget it was Lebron who choked against Dallas." The hell does this have to do with anything? Yeah, losing is a part of the game, so what does that have to do with anything. Also, saying Lebron choked against Dallas really minimises how well Dallas played and was coached in that series. They earned that victory by throwing different looks at Lebron all series long and ultimately playing him to a standstill. "LMAO Imagine thinking the Heat OWE Bron anything" The ONLY reason that team came together was because Lebron, Wade and Bosh DECIDED to play together rather through some great front office management by the Heat. They all took pay cuts to do it and the only thing that the Heat front office had to do with it was clearing their books enough to make it even remotely possible, but that was something that pretty much every team did in order to woo that year's free agent class. Lebron, Wade and Bosh did EVERYTHING to bring those championships, as well as the unwavering attention of the entire basketball world to Miami. Which meant that their merch sales and visibility went through the roof. Basically 50% of all basketball coverage was on Miami and the Heat. And The Heat being in the entertainment business, reaped its financial benefits. "The league rigged the draft for them hoping to make some kind of rivalry." I can't make any sense of this statement. Care to elaborate?
Source 06.17.19	Gilbert's reaction is unprecedented and kind of despicable tbh
SitarHero 06.17.19	Yeah, the fact that Gilbert in any way was a part of the team that broke Cleveland's 52 year championship drought was the one sour taste of that 2016 championship.
GhostB1rd 06.17.19	On a scale of 10 to infinity how badly do you think Lavar wants to fuck Kristine Leahy?
EyesWideShut 06.18.19	Lebron had had his mind made up to leave and thats fine.. but to string the team along just for media attention was a wrong move.. A big part of Lebron winning a championship was because of the Heat organization, from coaching, team structure, other players willing to play in Miami, and Pat Riley's presence. Pat spoke his mind and mentioned "losing" as a main reason Lebron left which was more than likely true, if the Heat 3peat who just decides to leave. Besides the first year nobody was sulking down here lol As for the league rigging the draft for Cleveland, if you cant see it.. than you cant see it broski haha
SitarHero 06.18.19	"A big part of Lebron winning a championship was because of the Heat organization, from coaching, team structure, other players willing to play in Miami" True, but the the Heat have made the playoffs only twice in the 5 years since Bron skipped town and won only 1 out of 3 playoff series while Lebron has been to the Finals 4 times, so clearly Lebron >>> Heat management. "As for the league rigging the draft for Cleveland, if you cant see it.. than you cant see it broski haha" Lol yeah, the freaking CLEVELAND CAVALIERS had the draft fixed for them. Not the Knicks, not the Lakers, not the Celtics. Not any of the other 21 bigger market teams, many of which were also floundering in that era. Riiiight.
EyesWideShut 06.18.19	"Lol yeah, the freaking CLEVELAND CAVALIERS had the draft fixed for them. Not the Knicks, not the Lakers, not the Celtics. Not any of the other 21 bigger market teams, many of which were also floundering in that era. Riiiight." didnt they get 3 first round picks in 4 years during Bron's absence ?? How else do you think they would even have a shot to recover if he never came back haha You will never see that happen again broski
SitarHero 06.18.19	I assume you mean 3 first picks and not 3 first round pics. Cleveland finished in the bottom 3 in every one of the years they got the first pick which is why they had great odds to get the first pick. Yeah, it's improbable for that to have happened three years in a row, but it's also equally improbable that the Cavs are so incompetent that somehow they managed to pick only one All-Star and one guy who is possibly the greatest bust ever. Do you really think anyone outside of Cleveland gave a single shit whether or not Lebron would return to Cleveland? Lol. And because of Cleveland and Philadelphia's tanking antics and being rewarded for it the NBA changed the draft lottery odds so that tanking teams wouldn't have such a huge advantage. So you're right in saying we'll probably never see it happen again.
Keyblade 06.18.19	"On a scale of 10 to infinity how badly do you think Lavar wants to fuck Kristine Leahy?" less than the other way around prib
GhostB1rd 06.18.19	Yeah, in his dreams.
EyesWideShut 06.18.19	when Lavar was a WWE heal for the night haha
SitarHero 06.18.19	The Rockets seem like they're imploding. Harden has apparently finally soured on CP3's incessant jabbering. And Paul is virtually untradeable with 3 years and $124 million left on his contract.
Keyblade 06.18.19	why the fuck does paul have 3 years left on his contract lol. what will he be like 37 by the end of it?
SitarHero 06.18.19	That's how this shit always works out. Players always plan on retiring while they're still getting paid. Then they "expiring" contract actually gains value because teams can trade for them in order to clear up a ton of cap space.

Keyblade 06.18.19	go for Kyrie or something NY jheeze would hate to see kawhi waste away over there
SitarHero 06.18.19	I'm sure they still will. But they have the space for 2 max contracts and with KD down and out I'm sure they've got their eyes on Kawhi and Jimmy Butts.
Ryus 06.18.19	hey fuck you key
Devastator 06.18.19	They had their eyes on KD and Kyrie but Kyrie seems to want to go to the Nets and I wouldn't be surprised if KD collects the 31 million dollar option from the Warriors next season so Kawhi and Butler are their best options.
Keyblade 06.18.19	hands off the kid ya goons
Keyblade 06.18.19	i rather he go to the lakers tbh, he might actually win something but now that i think of it, none of these options seem particularly tempting. he's already a raptor legend and can build a dynasty here. why roll the dice with thin squads and shitty management just to play with 1 or 2 stars?
guitarded_chuck 06.18.19	to defend a championship and build a legacy based on his own name rather than playing under lebron?
Keyblade 06.18.19	that's literally what i just said
Devastator 06.18.19	I'd love it if he stayed in Toronto because it would break the norm of players just going to the big market teams like NY and LA. Plus anything to watch the Knicks east shit again.
guitarded_chuck 06.18.19	the reason the nba and mlb will never be as entertaining as the nhl is because of that: big markets rule, same shit all the time btw ive been calling kyrie and kd to the knicks for awhile although kd died so idk now
Devastator 06.18.19	The MLB sucks because they have no salary cap so the Red Sox and Yankees can always just buy the best players which is bullshit.
guitarded_chuck 06.18.19	yeah and the nba has too soft a cap
SitarHero 06.18.19	I'm not sure how well-placed the Raptors are to become a dynasty. Lowry and Gasol are in decline. Ibaka had a great season but he has been in decline too. And Anunoby didn't develop much this year (still only 21 though). That means that Siakam and VanVleet are for the foreseeable future options 2 and 3 on the Raptors. I wonder if that's enough to continue competing with Giannis and the Bucks.
guitarded_chuck 06.18.19	theyre deeper than the bucks for the next couple of years easily dynasty is a strong word but ye
Keyblade 06.18.19	still plenty deep enough for 1 or 2 more Championships if Kawhi stays. that's enough to be considered a dynasty in this age. last team to threepeat was the Lakers 00-02
SitarHero 06.18.19	Yeah but those Lakers had Shaq at his absolute peak and Kobe entering his prime. Pretty damn good timing, and timing is everything.

SitarHero 06.18.19	Lol, so here's a fun stat. Since their last finals appearance, the Knicks have the fewest 40+ win seasons in the league. And that includes the lolbad Clippers and the Hornets who went away for 2 years then came back as the awful Bobcats.

GhostB1rd 06.19.19	If your team reminisces about the days you had JR Smith you know you're in some shit.
SitarHero 06.19.19	They also had the second highest ticket prices after the Warriors. So yeah, apparently mediocrity isn't all that bad for business. Although, to be fair I think most of the people who go to Knicks games these days go to root for the away team.

Keyblade 06.25.19	that reminds me of the dumbest thing I've read on the internet in a while, which if you've seen some of the recent threads on this site you'll know is some feat. behold https://twitter.com/MGRADS/status/1143537174874210304?s=19
InFlamesWeThrash666 06.25.19	Our boy Giannis definitely deserved the MVP award Hopefully he'll get a ring as well
SitarHero 06.26.19	"Canada winning the championship, Greece winning MVP, France winning DPOY, Cameroun winning MIP, Slovenia winning ROY..." Oh shit! I didn't even realise. That's pretty cool though. Lou Williams deserved 6th Man. The whole planet is represented. Good job everyone.
Uzumaki 06.26.19	I jumped a whole percent 1’ing that owner’s band. Sweet. Hard agree Giannis deserves it, his acceptance speech was cool to watch as well.
Devastator 06.27.19	I really hope Giannis doesn't jump ship from Milwaukee if they aren't able to win a title before his contract is up.
Source 06.27.19	He wont
SitarHero 06.27.19	As long as it doesn't turn into a Garnett in Minnesota situation I think Giannis will be happy. In related news the Lakers have finally cleared up cap space for a third max slot and Lebron has gifted the #23 jersey to Davis. Now which of the 6 K's are they gonna sign?
MistaCrave 06.27.19	as a lifetime celtics fan and a fairly recent kemba walker fan, i couldn't be happier that boston is looking like his most likely move
SitarHero 06.27.19	I couldn't be happier that Houston is looking to sign Jimmy Butts. Let's pour some gasoline on this dumpster fire!
Source 06.27.19	Is LeBron wearing #6 now?
SitarHero 06.27.19	No idea. I don't think the number swap is official yet. But Lebron should choose a new number and the Lakers need to threepeat so that he can get three different numbers retired by three different teams.
Source 06.28.19	I liked it when he wore 6 because it wasn't "Jordan's number"
Keyblade 06.28.19	he was in his prime with #6. it should stay in that point in history
Source 06.28.19	Sometimes it seems like he's still experiencing his prime tbh
SitarHero 06.28.19	He's definitely not in his prime anymore. He's ageing like fine wine but he really needs to shift the focus of his game away from ball handling. He definitely doesn't have the stamina to play point and run the offence for 48 minutes anymore, even when he sleepwalks on defence. I was hoping that playing with Lonzo and Ingram would allow him to shift into a more Jordan-like role focusing on his own offence off the ball the way Kawhi does and only dominating in the crunch, but clearly Lonzo and Ingram weren't/aren't ready for that.
Source 06.28.19	He was insane in the 2018 playoffs at least
SitarHero 06.28.19	I mean, he's still Lebron.
Devastator 06.28.19	He is but I wouldn't expect him to will a team to the Finals alone again.
Source 06.28.19	I think he could if he was still in the east
Devastator 06.28.19	I'd be be confident if he was still in the East yeah. Regardless I see the Lakers being a top 3 seed in the West even if they don't get a big name FA. GS is just gonna have Curry, Dreymond, and Iggy regardless of if they reup Klay and somehow convince KD to come back (Which they probably won't)

Devastator 07.01.19	Knicks continue to eat shit.
SitarHero 07.01.19	Lol @ The Knicks. Quick reminder, everyone go rate all the JD and the Straight Shot albums a 1. But the Nets are also fairly fucked. They're paying $164 million for three years worth of a 32+ year old Durant coming back from a major injury that almost no player has ever come all the way back from. They're also paying $141 million for four years worth of Kyrie Irving leading a team (without Durant) for at least one year (something he's thus far been incapable of) and then three years of trying to figure out how to share the basketball with Durant and each probably getting on the other's nerves. They're also breaking up a young and promising core in order to do all this. Things are gonna be interesting in Brooklyn.
Source 07.01.19	Knicks fans have gotten shafted so many times it's crazy

SitarHero 07.01.19	On that we can agree. Why couldn't he have gone to Houston or Brooklyn to wreck their already fragile chemistry?

Devastator 07.01.19	I wish the NBA could find a way to make a rule to limit the super teams.
SitarHero 07.01.19	They did. It's called the salary cap.
Devastator 07.01.19	Right but that hasn't stopped 4 super teams from cropping up in the last half decade.

SitarHero 07.06.19	Kings aren't even that bad. They're young and inexperienced but they're one of the most promising teams in the league.
SitarHero 07.06.19	OKC is fucked though. Hellooooo lottery. There's also a non-negligible possibility that the Warriors might miss the playoffs this year.
SitarHero 07.06.19	Current Western Conference pecking order, as I see it: 1. Clippers 2. Nuggets 3. Rockets (despite being dysfunctional as fuck) 4. Jazz 5. Blazers 6. Spurs (not getting better, but always dangerous) 7. Lakers (may move up or down depending on how the rest of free agency goes) 8. Warriors (I'm probably being pretty generous here tbh) 9. Kings (finished 9th this past season and are only going to get better) 10. Mavericks (will probably be a playoff team if/when Porzingis returns) 11. Pelicans 12. Wolves 13. OKC (lmao, might be better than the Wolves, but I doubt it) 14. Suns 15. Grizzlies

SitarHero 07.06.19	Wait, Kawhi+PG13 =/= superteam?
Keyblade 07.06.19	PG13 isnt the franchise player he once was so it's not on the level of the other superteams. just like OKC wasn't a superteam despite having PG13 and russ
SitarHero 07.06.19	Yo, PG13 was a finalist for MVP and DPOY last season. He carried OKC while Westbrook was the one holding them back. PG13 and Kawhi are also two of the best defenders in the league and are joining an already defensive minded Clippers who were a dangerous 8-seed last year. Basically the Clippers were a playoff team who flipped Danilo Gallinari for George and Kawhi. That's a scary fucking team.
Keyblade 07.06.19	can't wait for the playoffs next year kinda sad that normal programming will be resumed with the raps, but we got our chip, fuck it
EyesWideShut 07.06.19	PG13 was playing excellent last year until he hurt his shoulder.. Put his defense with Kawhi's and Pat Bev and that's a tough team. But a Bron/AD/Kawhi superteam on the Lakers.. Ughh
Keyblade 07.06.19	that would have been annoying tho. we would have just went from an OP warriors dynasty to an OP lakers one which would have been insufferable

SitarHero 07.06.19	Or even if they're not horrible injuries, they're unfortunate injuries at horrible times. And both PG13 and Kawhi are coming off injuries themselves. This gon' be interesting.

Ryus 07.06.19	lakers actually did a solid job finding role players
SitarHero 07.07.19	Lakers *doing* a solid job. The only guards they have on the roster are KCP, Green and Rondo. They need some 3 and D guys and some playmakers STAT!

Source 07.10.19	yep I feel like the media might be underestimating them a little bit
SitarHero 07.10.19	Are they? I thought the media was touting the Lakers as the 2nd or third best team in the Conf on the strength of LBJ and AD alone. They're still lacking depth at SF and PG, especially when it comes to guys who can guard the likes of Kawhi and George, but hopefully they stay healthy and Rondo does a decent job running the second unit.
Source 07.11.19	I think they are to some extent. Seems like the attention is going to the Clippers right now. But I legitimately think all Lebron needs is one good teammate in order to reach the finals, and he has that now.
Devastator 07.11.19	Lakers should just trade for Westbrook for the fireworks between him and PG alone when they play the Clippers.
Source 07.11.19	Idk if LeBron and Westbrook would play well together
Devastator 07.11.19	Oh god no but I'd love to see it just for Westbrook to try and murder Paul George.
Source 07.11.19	Westbrook needs to calm down and move on when his teammates leave
SitarHero 07.11.19	Yeesh. Westbrook is the anti-Lebron. No efficiency whatsoever. It would be a disaster. It would be fun watching him and Jimmy Butts in Miami though. They'd have a legit chance of getting to the finals and meeting the Lakers or Clips there.
Source 07.11.19	NO
Devastator 07.11.19	Westbrook and Butler would be even worse then Westbrook and Lebron. Those ego's would cause a nuclear meltdown in Miami.

Source 07.12.19	Crazy how the Warriors have been forgotten in a matter of days.
SitarHero 07.12.19	GSW and OKC (and to a lesser extent, San Antonio) are the only teams in the West that got appreciably worse in the offseason. Unless Curry comes out gunning for Wilt's 50ppg all-time scoring title they're probably not gonna be anything more than a low playoff seed and first round exit.
EyesWideShut 07.12.19	actually think GS is still gonna be p good.
Devastator 07.12.19	"GSW and OKC (and to a lesser extent, San Antonio) are the only teams in the West that got appreciably worse in the offseason" Never underestimate the incompetence of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Jesuslaves 07.12.19	Neither the Lakers or Rockets will win a playoff series.
Devastator 07.12.19	Lakers will, Rockets I could see getting bounced early.
SitarHero 07.12.19	The Rockets are nearly impossible to predict right now. Westbrook and Harden could be a complete trainwreck, or could be spectacularly successful, or could be exactly the same as when CP3 was on the team.
Source 07.12.19	Two of the biggest ball hogs in the NBA. I'm thinkin trainwreck
SitarHero 07.12.19	But that's the style the Rockets thrive in. If the Rockets staff manage to sort out Westbrook's allergy to efficiency he'll be super dangerous in their system.
Source 07.12.19	Maybe one of them will shock us by altering their style of play
Jesuslaves 07.13.19	Chris Paul made his teammates better. He's done that his entire career. Westbrook does not. Westbrook is a stat-stuffer who only wants to dribble for 15 seconds then hoist up a dumb shot, just like Harden. That team is gonna be much less than the sum of its parts.
SitarHero 07.13.19	But that's exactly what the Rockets want. The downside is that, despite all his incredible athleticism Westbrook's offensive efficiency fell off a cliff last season (probably due to declining athleticism). He takes a lot of bad shots and doesn't even make good shots at a good clip, which is the main problem with this scenario. If the Rockets can somehow get him to pass up the long two pointers and actually make his threes the Rockets might be a threat. And, as great as Chris Paul is, he might be the one guy that teammates enjoy being around less than Westbrook. I feel for Steven Adams. He's going to have a career year this season, but he's going to hate every second if it.
Jesuslaves 07.13.19	30 year old chuckers don't get reinvented. Especially when they have an ego like Westbrook does. I'd be surprised if Chris Paul is still with the Thunder on opening night.
Source 07.13.19	Saw a funny comment on youtube the other day Westbrook: you're not taking this shot Harden: yes I am Westbrook: *blocks Harden's shot*

Storm In A Teacup 08.02.19	Lakers 42-40 suffering through wear and tear of the season. Portland will suffer for assassinating the first Thunder era with a record of 38 - 44.
Storm In A Teacup 08.02.19	So Chris Paul is ready to play for at least half a season to prove his trade value and that is where the Thunder and him have decided to leave it at that for now He can now mentor an already sprouting Gilgeous-Alexander and we have an improving Stephen Adams and an improving Dennis Schroeder who can also mentor Gilgeous. We also have Danilo Gallinari. All Gallinari has to do is average 18.5 points and 48% FG. Terrance Ferguson and Hamidou Diallo have a huge chance to develop into reliable athletic 3 point shooters. Thunder can trade their picks for one star and be set.
