haha i know it is intriguing

i woulda been going for the cavs had the thunder advanced. I'm into the narrative of the warriors silencing the doubters (again) that continue to doubt despite the evidence in front of their face by stamping a historic season.

narrative of warriors winning another championship for bay area billionaires (though i'd be happy for spottie and other bay area ilxors)

it's pretty gross how this narrative of GSW's fans has eclipsed their historical fanbase
― 龜, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 19:13 (seven years ago) link
it is gross
― Spottie, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 19:14 (seven years ago) link
gonna be even more gross when they move from Oakland
fwiw i'll take bay area billionaires over a loan shark that uses comic sans

yeah the funny thing about the joe lacob hate is that clay bennett and dan gilbert are roughly 1 million times worse for humanity than him

^^^^ seriously, ppl who complain about warriors fans are like a million times worse than whatever dot-com fairweather boogyman they invoke.

its mostly cuz when you watch the dubs games on tv the crowd shots are showing the front rows which are all these guys

"these guys"
― lute bro (brimstead), Wednesday, 1 June 2016 19:41 (seven years ago) link

I got too drunk at a concert I didn't want to be at and told an aggressive stranger that tried to give me a high five to "fuck off." He replied that he is "from the bay area" and so "will kick my ass". I was by far the worst person involved in this embarrassing interaction, but I can no longer cheer for the GSW as they remind me of my shame. So CLE in 6.
― Sufjan Grafton, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 19:52 (seven years ago) link
the warriors should move their team to libertarian island like all their rich fans want
perfect and sublime Cavs in 6
― brownie, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 20:03 (seven years ago) link
Sufjan, that guy doesn't make sense. Did he mean to say he's from the East Bay?
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Wednesday, 1 June 2016 20:08 (seven years ago) link
He may have said that, even. I can't really remember what was said. I only know what others told me he said at Shame Brunch.
― Sufjan Grafton, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 20:22 (seven years ago) link
but it's good to narrow down his location should I ever need to apologize and give him that high five. maybe facing my shame and cheering for GSW could be like a high five of atonement? yeah, I'm back on the GSW bandwagon. GSW in 6.

True but they cost way less then

last game i went to at oracle was in 06 to see diogu play :/
― Spottie, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 20:50 (seven years ago) link
There were at least four games where I thought Diogu might be good
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Wednesday, 1 June 2016 20:53 (seven years ago) link
i think i was there for one of them. back row and people were so pumped every time he touched the ball. cheering for him to come back in when he sat too

something for the new yorkers: samsung is doing a marketing event with free screenings of the first four games on a three story screen made of 96 separate 55 inch displays. RSVP here - https://www.samsung.com/us/837/events/nba-finals-viewing-party

i feel like the cavs will prob win 2 games. still think if the warriors are playing as well as we know they can the matchups just don't compute for the cavs but it's possible the warriors just can't hit that level now for whatever reason. if this went 7 i wouldn't be surprised, tho 5 wouldn't surprise me either.
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 2 June 2016 13:28 (seven years ago) link
steph gon start looking a lot more healthy playing against the cavs D my prediction
― lag∞n, Thursday, 2 June 2016 14:31 (seven years ago) link
apologies to any bay area billionaires itt as well as real gsw fans here i didn't meant offend you
― marcos, Thursday, 2 June 2016 14:53 (seven years ago) link
yeah didn't feel like the cavs d was really tested & for as hunky dory as everything looked for most of the offs for them this is a different animal entirely xp
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 2 June 2016 14:55 (seven years ago) link
the offenses they have faced so far didn't put any kind of consistent pressure on their defense they way golden state will. LBJ going to have to work on both ends of the floor like he hasn't had to so far

I'm a billionaire and wasn't offended, no worries. Cos really, at the end of the day, all the people that were rooting on me to fail, they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today. They have the same personal problems they had today. I’m going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things that I want to do with me and my family and be happy with that. They can get a few days or a few months or whatever the case may be on being happy about me not accomplishing my goal. But they have to get back to the real world at some point.

As he issued his invitation to Mr. Lue, Mr. Obama made clear that he, too, had firm notions of decorum.“Tell J.R. and everybody to put on a shirt, though,” Mr. Obama said. J.R. Smith, a Cavaliers guard, was photographed bare-chested for days after the victory. “He can’t just be wandering around without a shirt for, like, the whole week.”
