some east teams are bound to get better - pacers, celtics, maaaybe the bucks. but barring massive good fortune no way any of them get championship-level better, and compared to how the pelis and OKC will (probably) get better the difference is lol
pistons, too. trust svg!

that was a fucking amazing game
― Joan Crawford Loves Chachi, Monday, 8 June 2015 14:17 (eight years ago) link
xp true the pistons will get better i just dunno if it'll be immediately next season. then again with some luck they could prob muscle out the bucks who were legitimately good in many ways but also kinda overacheived.

“I thought I was being friendly. She was rooting for LeBron the whole game so finally I was getting irritated and I said, ‘I’m the owner of the Warriors.’ She didn’t care, she just kept going

the gotta hear both sides version:
-not really surprised rihanna acted at the v least like a troll, at worst a low key asshole-that said lacob can't really expect to tell her what to do - in general, but especially not if she was just loudly rooting from bron and not like, idk, loudly cursing while his kids are right there or w/e
― slothroprhymes, Monday, 8 June 2015 15:24 (eight years ago) link
man grant hill was hanging w/ the wiz owner (who wore a bullets jacket: respect), you can't get salty cuz somebody didn't root for the home team

i can't remember the last important playoff series where i felt like each coach was totally absent from the proceedings.
from blatt it's understandable if not expected especially considering how shorthanded they are but i feel like golden state has been essentially coachless this series which is not good!!
― J0rdan S., Monday, 8 June 2015 15:58 (eight years ago) link
last night steph didn't move without the ball practically at all unless he was coming to get a dribble hand off on a screen (like the tying finger roll) -- it was kind of concerning how often he was just standing off on the wing motionless and like looking away from the play? i dunno.
the warriors have been entirely rhythmless this entire series against a team that is a decent defensive team at best, i don't quite understand it
― J0rdan S., Monday, 8 June 2015 16:01 (eight years ago) link
yeah they need to make some adjustments, there's no reason their offense should be so choppy

Kerr's huddle talk always seems comically generic to me

kerr getting outcoached otm. he made the right adjustments vs the grizz we'll see what he can do with this one. Need more livingston w curry/klay imo. i thought he shoulda gone w livingston over barbosa when klay got those 2 quick fouls
― Spottie, Monday, 8 June 2015 16:40 (eight years ago) link
why they're letting lebron finish nearly 50% of possessions is something i still don't understand
― J0rdan S., Monday, 8 June 2015 16:55 (eight years ago) link
they being the warriors
― J0rdan S., Monday, 8 June 2015 16:56 (eight years ago) link
i'm strong pro-warriors in this series but i'm happy the cavs won that game simply because lebron really would've been pillaged in the media when the refs just cut him absolutely zero slack to an absolutely absurd degree at the end of regulation last night
― J0rdan S., Monday, 8 June 2015 16:57 (eight years ago) link
the iggy no-call hack on the baseline on bron reminded me of game 2 of the 2012 finals when durant missed that baseline bunny at the end of the game in the same spot w/ a lebron nudge to the side that could've been called
― J0rdan S., Monday, 8 June 2015 16:58 (eight years ago) link
i would agree had he not switched his pivot feet three time prior to it.

Anybody else hear the Ether Grant Hill dropped on Kenny Smith when he brought up Hakeem after Kenny had been gushing how he'd never seen a superstar do more with less?

haha yea that was an A+ zing

Cold as hell, that's the kind of shit that kills friendships. Didn't Payton get frozen out of TNT for that time he clowned Kenny with a stat sheet?

Short term improvement is his thing (and maybe what's called for down there)

In general I'm pro-warriors but the glowing dumb articles about the brilliance of Joe Lacob and positionless basketball make me want Mozgov and JR Smith will the cavs to victory a little.

mozgov is pwning bogus so hard

You didn't notice in the regular season when he was calling timeouts behind Blatt's back? Or when he saved Blatt when he tried to call a nonexistent timeout against the Bulls?Starting to think he might have the juicehttp://cdn.slamonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/tyronn-lue-david-blatt-lebron-james.jpg

if lebron averages 40-12-8 for the series, he has to be the MVP whether the cavs win or lose, right?

i suppose it's possible, if they lost it would make him the first finals mvp for a losing team since jerry west (the first to win the award)

My theory re bron's shooting is that all the juice has made him more powerufl but he hasn't been able to adjust his shooting touch to accomodate the extra strnegth
