By Wengward Go To PostThe NBA thread on gaf is a mess. holy shit.There are many reasons I hopped over here once I found out it existed. Not the least of which is I can actually post here (gaf account was never approved). But mostly because all opinion-based content was trash and the drama and shit-talking was the lamest shit.
By reilo Go To Postlol no
Maybe debatable but we take the cavs with a full squad now, second best reg season %, good bench, best coach.
One point guard elevates everything.

How you find out about slaent cuz the site is actually filtered out and banned on gaf when you type it in

EL so petty
By Smokey Go To PostHow you find out about slaent cuz the site is actually filtered out and banned on gaf when you type it inI can't remember if I found it through someone providing an esoteric hint in the shell of the NBA thread or if it was before all the filters were put in place or if I just googled someone's username that someone in the NBA thread mentioned was banned and started a new forum.
By Kidjr Go To PostMaybe debatable but we take the cavs with a full squad now, second best reg season %, good bench, best coach.You couldn't beat the Thunder last year with a healthier team that had a better record and Tim Duncan.

By KingGondo Go To PostHahawow lol smh

Don't see the point. His team will still have to beat the Warriors, might as well beat them in the Finals.
Maybe hes been talking to 2018 free agents to form a new Superfriends part 2. And we all know Kevin Love is coming along
By KingGondo Go To PostNike working overtime to invent straw men for Durant to overcome.
He has always been extremely clutch.
The only thing people say about Durant is that he's a beta. No one has ever tried to say he's not a great player or clutch.
By reilo Go To Postlol rumors now swirling that Lebron will leave Cleveland to go somewhere West lol
Dumbest rumor ever. LeBron gets 96 byes each year
By reilo Go To Postlol rumors now swirling that Lebron will leave Cleveland to go somewhere West lolyeah right.
he could run the east in his 40s and this way he can get lucky that the west team gets injured in the finals.
don't even need the rings if he makes 10+ finals in a row.
By Switchpro Go To Postyeah right.People shit on the Bills for making 4 SB's in a row....

i'd love the dick move of him having the cavs roster fill up with expensive trash on long contracts and then ditch Gilbert.
The refs were balling hard for Cleveland last night and still couldn't get it done. The call didn't work.
If what's happening with KD is going to be the norm then we'll never have moments like Dirk's run in 2011 or Timmy in 2014.
That stinks.
That stinks.
Cleveland has a 118.6DRtg in the Finals 👀
The Warriors are shooting 59TS% collectively as a team. That's insane.

By HasphatsAnts Go To PostIf what's happening with KD is going to be the norm then we'll never have moments like Dirk's run in 2011 or Timmy in 2014.One ring in OKC equals how many rings with the Warriors? Putting the over/under at 4.
That stinks.
By Slizz Go To PostPeople shit on the Bills for making 4 SB's in a row….
funny story Keith McKeller (Bills TE) ended up being a Honda salesman in NC after he retired. i was maybe about 11 or 12 and my mom picks me up from school early saying she had a surprise for me. well my mom doesn't know shit about football so the surprise was the new Honda but no kid cares about that. i remembered his name from Tecmo Super Bowl though so when we get to the dealership he introduces himself and im just kind of starstruck and silent. and the only thing i could get out after i said my name was "hey mom this guy was on that team that lost 4 super bowls in a row"
he took it in stride but i could tell he was a bit pissed that's what i recognized him for. his AFC championship ring was huge too. i can't imagine how big and gaudy a superbowl ring looks.
By KingGondo Go To PostOne ring in OKC equals how many rings with the Warriors? Putting the over/under at 4.1 = 1 #math
By Slizz Go To PostPeople shit on the Bills for making 4 SB's in a row….Because they didn't win one. Bron already has 3.
By cdyhybrid Go To PostBecause they didn't win one. Bron already has 3.K its harder to get to the SB. But aside from that let's say lebron gets 5 that's 5-15 tho. People will point to the amount of finals appearances and losses a lot. And it's good ammo if the league stays similar
By cdyhybrid Go To PostDon't see the point. His team will still have to beat the Warriors, might as well beat them in the Finals.The theory is that LBJ has a 20M house in cali. Would be great for Nike. And His CLE team aren't beating this GSW team. So go where he has lifestyle and can team up with the banana boat boys.
Bron is a power brand who cares what's good for Nike. He's not beating gsw anywhere he goes, it don't matter.
By Smokey Go To PostBron is a power brand who cares what's good for Nike. He's not beating gsw anywhere he goes, it don't matter.don't disagree.
Just repeating the "theory".

What's great for Nike & Bron's brand is chasing Michael's rings. That and the scoring record are the only things left for him, otherwise he's just another big name.
I'm going through reactions in the other forum, God the NBA turned into an effing cesspool of "Kobe/Jordan/Lebron" shit, but I found this nugget. how did I miss this live:
C'mon Steph, don't be an ass.

Ok I tried reading it but I can't. The takes over there are hotter than volcanic.

I think having their biggest star in a much larger market would be better. But diminishing returns. They've already got KD there. /shrug
As for chasing Jordans rings... If the GSW all re-up He won't get there as an alpha.
By Wengward Go To PostThey had supposedly been texting throughout the whole season. No wonder he didn't get up in Dray's face after all the thuggery he pulled in that series.
Draymond called Durant the night of game 7 from the parking lot of Oracle lol.
By KingGondo Go To PostThey had supposedly been texting throughout the whole season. No wonder he didn't get up in Dray's face after all the thuggery he pulled in that series.I mean. These days, most of the players text each other.
Hell, some text opposing coaches.
Sure. But Dray wasn't just asking how his family is. He was lobbying Durant pretty hard by all accounts.
Totally fair to do, just disappointing considering how last season ended. Leaves certain doubts in your mind that Durant was totally invested in OKC's success.

By Wengward Go To PostGot to think he was also hoping the Warriors would lose so he could join.He admitted it in some interview that I can't be bothered to look up.
By Moris Go To PostWayment….How many Warriors are gonna visit Trump?🤔
None.
By Trey Go To PostNone.
Lacob and Guber will
By Method Go To Poststeph needs 13 assists and 10 rebounds to average triple double for the finals.
Finally some triple doubles that actually matter
