I can't stand watching Curry's cocky attitude after he makes good plays as he chews on his mouth piece. He's got an extremely punchable face.

I've barely paid attention to any of the NBA playoffs since the Caps are playing late May hockey and will now be playing for the Stanley Cup next week.

I did catch the Rockets/Warriors game last night. I just assumed the finals was going to be Warriors/Cavs before the season started and had seen box scores so far in the conference finals, but damn I did not expect the Rockets to win 2 in a row.

There is no way the NBA is going to allow a Boston/Houston finals. Not a chance in hell. I expect to see some very one sided officiating over the next 4 games to favor Cavs and Warriors.

Rockets are up by 13 WITHOUT CP3 and they're playing in Oakland. Unless GS steps up I don't even think an epic screw job by the refs could change the outcome of this game.

Rockets Vs Celtics is looking like an almost sure thing. A finals without CP3 would suck for Rockets, but could be a god send for Bron if they manage to get past Boston tomorrow.


Durant to Houston next year perhaps?

LOL this post is pretty funny in hindsight.

No chance it's not going to be Warriors/Cavs.
 
This Western Conference series is terrible. 46 point swing in one game. Both teams take TERRIBLE shots. 75-80 three pointers in the game. Warriors really struggle when they over pass, so many open shots passed up for questionable threes. Spacing for both teams is awful. And how is it that I never heard D'Antoni do an interview before? That guy is such a mush mouth it's unbearable.

What's a better accomplishment, LeBron taking this year's Cavs team to the Finals or the '07 Cavs to the Finals?

I think it's this year's Cavs team. He singlehandedly made the team get this far. To me, it doesn't matter if he wins a championship or not not this season as he's already done what no one in the league could do with so little other talent around them.
 
this team's technically a lot better than his 07 one. But they have no consistency what-so-ever outside of him. I don't believe there's another player in the NBA who could have taken this team to the finals. I know people talk about his legacy and how not winning a ring this year will tarnish it. I don't see how as both west teams are far better and the Cav's are suppose to lose to them. Now, if he can someone manage to pull off the upset I'd say his status takes a huge huge jump. This Cav's team loses with Harden or Durant too. Tons of respect for Boston doing what they did without their 2 best players. Next year I suspect they'll be a lot better, scary.

I suspect they'll lose and he'll still be the best player in the NBA by a mile. And I suspect Skip Bayless will harp on Bron's free throw shooting lol. I can't wait to see Shannon Sharp rub tonight's game in Skip's face.



Sharp KILLS me in this video lol. He's so good at trolling Bayless. It's much more entertaining to watch them than Skip and Smith.

If the warriors win tomorrow it will have been 7 months of NBA basketball to determine the Cavs will face the Warriors in the finals. I wish the NBA was more dynamic.

No CP3, looks like another Warriors champion then. So tired of the same match up. Warriors would have won with CP3. Injuries happen but huge * by the Warriors rings.

No Chris Paul is huge, late game they are going to feel his absence just like last game.

I know it's only the 1st and I know they're only up by 7 and I know they were way up and still got slaughtered the last game. But if they keep up this exact play Rocket's will win. I don't think Harden will let what happened last game happen again, he's in Lebron mode so far. And it doesn't hurt Curry's 1-6


*EDIT*
up by 11
Curry's now 1-7

*EDIT #2*
up by 15 and Klay has 3 fouls already.

I'm not one who thinks the league sets up games/series. Every call that is replayed, that the announcers talk about goes against the Rockets It was a moving screen against the Warriors no call, Curry 3. Several fouls not called Not maybe fouls, definite fouls backed up by instant replay. Not helping things is the Rockets are racing the C's for worst 3 shooting. Warriors up by 3 now, Warriors win. With an * for me. I'm an avid NBA watcher Not watching the finals this year. Can't wait for the Warriors to fall off in a few years and suck ass.

I need to learn to bet against you.

Can you share your wisdom on how the finals will play out?
