Panerista Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 23, 2016 -> 10:07 PM) Dangerous precedent they are setting by not suspending Green. Not allowed to say thug league because it's racist, but this whole thing feels like WWE with the NBA clinging to the Warriors narrative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's become synonymous with black people which is a microaggression! When hockey players beat the s*** out of each other, you don't ever hear people say they are thugs... things that make you go hmmmmm Draymond Green isn't a thug, he's just an entitled asshole and the NBA just allowed it to continue.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Said a couple months back I thought the Raps could beat Cleveland. Then I, like many, predicted a sweep after game 2. Toronto is a really good team when they're right. I'm assuming Jonas Valanciunas will be available to play. Cavs are already having major problems containing Bismack. JV, assuming he's not rusty, will be an even bigger problem. For those complaining about how awful this conference finals is/was, well, we have a series here.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 23, 2016 -> 08:18 AM) Disagree with this. If Ben Simmons is a superstar, which I think he will be, they are fine. I think so too. But they've got to put a squad around him. A healthy Embiid gives them so many more options. QUOTE (Brian @ May 23, 2016 -> 08:54 AM) Talks of their demise are very premature but they don't have to lose 2 in a row to be eliminated. Keep alternating and OKC wins Game 7, in GS. Yeah, OKC better win Game 4. Yup. I fully believe whoever wins game 4 wins the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 It's OKC's year and everybody knows it. Golden State is beat. They don't have that little extra this year. See what happens when you win all those regular-season games? Means NOTHING. OKC to cover easily in Game Four. Then it's over in five or six. Poor Cleveland is gonna think this is the year to break the hex. But it's Durant's year. NBA wants him to win and stay in OKC which he will do. They are gonna win more as the West weakens. Spurs are done, too old; Golden State is good but one man can only do so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. But I think in hockey they use the term "goon", and most of that has been taken out of the game at this point. You can't afford a roster spot for someone who's just an instigator. NBA just feels so fake like WWE at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) I pity Cleveland. Unless Cavs fans are smarter than I give them credit for, they are going to think they have a chance to break the Cleveland jinx in the Finals vs. OKC. In reality, this OKC team is head and shoulders the NBA champ. Durant and Westbrook are FINALLY healthy and there's nothing the league teams can do about it. Everybody forgot about OKC cause they had a pedestrian regular season, but people forget how 2 and 3 years ago the Thunder were in the FInals and considered collosal chokers when in reality they weren't ready yet. Durant and Westbrook have to be laughing. They know it's their time cause they are healthy and there's nothing Cleveland will be able to do to stop the train. Suddenly Golden State looks like the Sox of the last couple weeks. Dynasty ova before it could begin. Edited May 25, 2016 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconOnAStick Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I bathe in these moments when the Smart, Informed Fan that talks down at everyone with their unassailable opinions latches on to some "perfect" team, and that "perfect" team gets humiliated. Please close this out Thursday, OKC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) I just hope OKC doesn't get worn out after beating the two best teams in the league them lose to Cavs. Would be a shame. Edited May 25, 2016 by Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, I'm not thinking they're worn out. Should they win game 5, this was a huge let down of a series and OKC should be fine in the finals.
