NBA 2016 Playoffs & Beyond

[deep]

I hope Warriors eek it out

Then Cleveland wins.

[cobl04]

I desperately want Cleveland to win the Finals.

[LuckyNumber7]

I suppose I'm on board with that.

[LemonMelon]

I want Cleveland sports to do well, just not the Cavs and especially not anyone on this Cavs roster.

It's looking bad right now, but I'm still holding out hope for OKC.

[cobl04]

Lebron is a good dude. Give Cleveland this and then they can spend the next million years in mediocrity for all I care.

[LemonMelon]

This exists and I still don't like LeBron

Lebron's a great guy. Just ask him.

This. Whoever wins the West is who I'll be rooting for. But since I hate Jordan and the Bulls, I'd like to see Golden State close out this record-breaking season with a championship. If they manage to do it despite Curry's injury, I'd say it's arguable they're the greatest team in NBA history, over any of those Jordan seasons.

You're not fooling anyone. We know the only reason you want Cleveland to win is so that dirty punk Dellavedova can get a ring.

The Cavs have 1.5 Australians, while the Warriors have 1. So of course Cobbler will cheer for Cleveland.

I know basketball. Delly is one of the most effective defenders the game has ever seen. Jordan is lucky he didn't play in his time. He deserves a ring.

How can you hate Jordan and the Bulls? Lifelong fan here.

The 1996 team went 87-13 season+playoffs combined, and the Warriors have already lost more than 13 total games.

Plus they almost won 70 in back-to-back seasons since they won 69 in 1997.

I'm rooting for the Warriors(and I'll root for the Thunder over the Cavs if they win game 7), but no way they're greatest team in history. They're probably not even better than Bird's Celtics or Magic's Lakers.

DA BULLS. Even though they kind of suck now.

Doesn't your post sort of exemplify part of why someone might not like the Bulls?

I don't think so. If you think I'm being an annoying fan with that post - ok, but lots of teams have fans who can be annoying, yes?

I don't even have anything bad to say about the Warriors. I think they're a fantastic basketball team, maybe the best since the Shaq/Kobe Lakers. But I don't think they'd beat the very greatest teams of all time, Jordan, Bird, Magic included.

[cobl04]

Our good friend lazarus can't breathe if he isn't being contrarian. It's that simple.

While the media and Warriors fans let you know about every little one of little Steph's boo boos, some perspective on the second 3-peat years.

Indeed. His knees would have been in trouble.

That's a pretty crappy comparison, considering Steph is hurt in the playoffs - and if Jordan had gone down in a playoff series they easily could have lost to the Knicks, Heat, Magic, etc.

If you're a fan of one of the other teams that played in the East during that era, it's quite easy to hate them.

Or the Jazz.
