It's showtime -- let the (NBA) games begin!

[MikeSU02]

Love is a great player but how can he fit in here?

They just can't play him and Thompson. I'm not sure what they do.

 

[ssbriefcase]

That's gonna be a crazy party in the bay tonight, the team and E-40, and Snoop, etc. Tired interviews tomorrow..

I'm posting real salty right now because I'm a LeBron fan but I still can't believe Durant went to Golden State. Feels so cheap.

It's not. They operated within the rules.
PS I'm not a fan of the Warriors.

 

[samspann1]

Nobody could check Durant.

 

[MikeSU02]

Lebron
KD
Leonard
Curry
Harden

I think this would be mine, as well.

 

[Briancuse]

he was a reason it was close...

He was awful most of the series.

 

[ssbriefcase]

Call me nuts but I take Wall over Russ.

nuts

 

[Tom K.]

Those are terrible hats haha

 

[MikeSU02]

Happy for Kerr.

Bron is no worse than top three player of all time. Arguably the GOAT.

KD is going to finish as a top 15 player of all time, if not higher. Could see top ten.

LeBron went to the heat. What's the difference? Imagine you are a top 3 player in the world, who would you rather play with? Curry or Westbrook? You would run as well Westbrook is awesome but basically only for himself and the bad news Bear's. Durant had to leave Golden State needed a better SF.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Lebron
KD
Leonard
Curry
Harden

Yep. Maybe even davis over harden but it's so hard to compare.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Lol that didn't lose them the series

 

[MikeSU02]

Anyone think Kerr may retire now with his health issues?

 

[jordoo]

They just can't play him and Thompson. I'm not sure what they do.

Agreed, the two of them together against the Warriors kills them.

 

[Briancuse]

I'm not saying it did, he didn't help.

 

[NineOneSeven]

They just can't play him and Thompson. I'm not sure what they do.

I was a big love fan in minny. Averaged like 25 and what, 16 boards one year? I don't care if his team didn't win. You don't avg that and be an average player. He's playing with 2 ball dominant players and is expected to just hit 3s. But his strength is rebounding, except that is Tristan's ONLY quality.

Hope some teams makes some big moves to compete with these teams. Stinks the Knicks will be horrible.

The scary thing is Golden State may be better next year with a year of playing together. I really like McCaw off the bench. At some point he's going to be Iguodalas replacement.

Is his back THAT bad? I'd feel terrible. Love Kerr.

As much as I like lebron he started it :noidea:

 

[ssbriefcase]

Is his back THAT bad? I'd feel terrible. Love Kerr.

Yes. Reading his story, I was like dam, had no idea it was that bad.

 

[MikeSU02]

Is his back THAT bad? I'd feel terrible. Love Kerr.

Yes. It's really bad. He's openly, I believe, stated that people should not have back surgery.

He has two titles as a coach. Numerous as a player. He can ride off.

Unless Bron switches teams, it has to be SAS.

Gordon Hayward on the Celtics ain't changing the elite teams of the NBA.

 

[ssbriefcase]

Sounded to me like the doctor screwed up, if I'm not mistaken.

LeBron teamed up with Bosh and Wade on a team that wasn't good and then had no money left so we're stuck with Mike Bibby and Joel Anthony/Ilgauskas filling out their starting line up in the NBA Finals. Durant went to a team that won 73 games the year before and had 3 top 12-15 players in the world waiting for him. The same team that beat him in the WCF the year before. Completely different.

You're very mistaken if you think OKC was some group of misfits and bad news bears. They made WCF 4 of last 6 years and only missed it when they had injuries and had GS down 3-1 last year.

Either way, congrats to him he got his ring and probably will end up with a few more. Accomplishment every kid who plays basketball dreams of and few can ever actually do.

Pretty cool 3000th milestone post in this season long thread.
