If you think you have a chance at making the finals/superbowl/major sporting event your ass needs to dedicate a month to going back and looking at everything you ever posted and deleting shit.
Otherwise some dudes with no life are gonna do it during that 1-2 week wait. I don't know how athletes havent caught onto this yet

By IWMTB19 Go To PostYeah, those tweets are really shitty, I hope he's grown up since then.It's called being mindful of the public eye.
Pretty sure he's the same person in private.
Funny enough I think Lillard called that out on Twitter first.

I find it hilarious when some players say they aren't going to watch the playoffs but end up watching the tape anyway. What team hasn't seen the San Antonio plays from last year and what team isn't going to see tape of the eventual champs this year.
Looking at you KD, OKC.

Man this thread is as dead as Phil Jackson's career. The nba shouldn't sit on their thumbs for a week before we see any games. It's not like any hype is building.

I almost forgot about the finals and I'm a huge basketball nut. Why is the NBA being so quiet in the downtime?

As much as I want the Warriors to lose to somewhat invalidate Curry's MVP award, I'm really having trouble trying to hate this Warriors team.
Even crazier that Draymond Green is my favorite player on that team as well, probably even more Klay.

Where This Year’s Cavs Rank Among LeBron’s NBA Finals Supporting Casts

The signature event of LeBron James’s first stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers was probably his 48-point outburst against the Detroit Pistons in Game 5 the 2007 Eastern Conference finals.
His performance in that game said everything about the team James carried to the NBA Finals that year. In a game that was 3.1 times as important as the average playoff contest, James used 43 percent of the team’s possessions and scored 29 of its final 30 points en route to victory. He essentially rendered his supporting cast superfluous: Aside from James, the ’07 Cavs still rank among the least-talented teams ever to reach the brink of an NBA title.
Upon joining the Miami Heat in 2010, James of course enjoyed a far better set of teammates, including future Hall of Famers Dwyane Wade and Ray Allen (and borderline candidate Chris Bosh). But now James is back with the Cavaliers — and back to carrying a mediocre set of teammates through the playoffs.
While we speculated last August that this year’s Cavs might actually represent the best group of players James has ever taken the court with (All-Star Games and the Olympics notwithstanding), that was before Kevin Love and Anderson Varejao were lost for the postseason, and before Kyrie Irving was hobbled with a knee injury. As a result, James’s best teammates of late have been the solid-but-unspectacular trio of Tristan Thompson, J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert — a far cry from Wade, Bosh and Allen.1
If we look at a multi-year Statistical Plus/Minus talent projection for every NBA Finals team,2 this Cavs team ranks as the ninth-least talented NBA finalist since 1985. (By contrast, Cleveland’s opponents, the mighty Golden State Warriors, rank as the 14th-most talented.) Remove James, and things get even more dire; his supporting cast ranks as the third-worst team carried by its best player3 to the NBA Finals since 1985.
paine-datalab-lebron-cast-2
For James, though, this year’s supporting cast still eclipses the group he dragged to the Finals in 2007 — if barely so. Replacing James with a league-average player (rated 0.0) would drop this season’s Cavaliers from a +5.4 talent rating to -0.1. Yanking James off the 2007 Cavs would make a +6.2 team play to a rating of -0.2. James’s own rating was marginally better that year, but the 30-year-old has also relied more heavily on his teammates this season, playing 10 percent fewer minutes per game (weighted by the leverage of each game) than when he was an up-and-coming 22-year-old.
paine-datalab-lebron-cast-1
Either way, these are not the types of teams Lebron took to the Finals as a member of the Heat. Then again, it also bears mentioning that his supporting cast in Miami in last year’s playoffs wasn’t much better. That team was soundly beaten in the Finals by the San Antonio Spurs — as were James’s 2007 Cavs — so there’s a reason the Warriors are favorites in Vegas this year. But it’s also a testament to James that he’s carried the load for two of the bottom three — and three of the bottom eight — Finals supporting casts of the past 30 years.
