Be careful, Mercury Morris will have you excommunicated from South Florida if he reads this post.

I have no desire to go back.

NBA 2016 Playoffs & Beyond

Only LeBron's presence could make anybody actually root for Curry and the Warriors.

Riiiiight. Yeah, couldn't be any other reasons.

You're apparently unaware of the phenomenons called "rooting for your home team" or "rooting for a team on a historic run" or...

 

[BoMac]

Or rooting for a team that has been so much fun to watch this season.

Congrats to 2016 NBA Championship Ring Recipient Anderson Varejo.

GSW is a bad matchup for Cleveland. I feel like your only shot against GSW is with two elite perimeter defenders to chase Thompson and Curry off the 3-point line. Cleveland is sorely lacking in that category. The number of wide-open three looks they allowed against even Toronto was appalling.

 

[gump]

Can't wait to see JR Smith guarding Thompson.

 

[PhilsFan]

Go Cavs.

 

[iron yuppie]

It's hard for me to be optimistic here. I think there will be a few nights when both Love and Smith are hot, which should get the Cavs at least one win. My gut feeling is Warriors in 6.

 

[coolian2]

I want both teams to win. Can we do that?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I have no idea who Kevin Love guards in this series, especially when Bogut heads to the bench

Mate, we've got Delly. He will shut down Curry all night every night. Cavs in 5.

I just pissed myself. Delly isn't even the best Ozwi in the comp.

Well Curry's knee isn't 100% so it shouldn't take that much for Delly to take him out

 

[cobl04]

you Americans sure are scared of a little physicality, aren't you.

Did you watch last year's finals?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Physicality and playing dirty with the intent to injure are two entirely different things.

Diving at someone's knees can end their career. Guy's a complete piece of trash.

Partly I'm getting interested in basketball because one of my best mates at work is super keen on it, having played semi-pro in the Australian state leagues (so, what, B-grade US high school team?). Partly because reading this thread is funny, what with Cobbler's love of Delly and the Phantom dude trolling hard.

Oh yeah, and partly because that Golden State vs Oklahoma series was pretty damn entertaining.

May I introduce you to Australian Rules football.

What exactly does that have to do with basketball?

Half the point is trying to injure people.

Half the point is trying to injure people.

So your point is that Dellavedova would be better off playing Aussie Rules Football instead of basketball?

My point is harden up.

Also, yes. It is the greatest sport on earth.

So you can punch people in the face in boxing. So therefore you should be able to punch people in swimming.

Harden up.

Can you imagine how much better swimming would be if that were true.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I can't argue with that

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Wow, Axver posts for the first time in the basketball thread and immediately makes the thread terrible and starts a stupid fight with our best basketball poster.

Fuck you, Axver. Don't post in this thread ever again.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

And fuck you too, cobbler. You fucking bitch.

 

[cobl04]

And if you with Bad Boyz THEN FUCK YOU TOO

[MrPryck2U]

Fuck you, I'm here to ruin your life.

This has to be one of the best quotes of the year!

And... to bring it back to the NBA Finals:


LeBron and Curry should say this to each other at the start of the series. One of their lives will be "ruined".

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Fuck you, I'm here to ruin your life.

You can't ruin the life of someone whose life is already ruined.
