2015 nba finals: golden state warriors of oakland versus the cleveland cavaliers of cleveland

cavs in 5

hope you hedged that bet snrub

Warriors in 6

Ezeli really impressed me this series; the last I remembered him (which, granted, was two seasons ago), he was a lumbering, uncoordinated giant, but he looks so much more comfortable now around the basket that all of JVG and MJax's talk about how he could start on a different (read: worse) NBA team didn't sound so implausible anymore.

yeah he was good they needed his size v dwight

I was hesitant, but I finally voted gsw in 6. The alternative was in 5, but my more conservative side won out. I can't see the Cavs taking the championship, under any circumstances short of the sky falling.

Such as the Splash Bros. getting concussed, and Iguodala's shoulder popping out?

^ otm. a rash of injuries to key gsw players early in series could narrow the gap

hope you hedged that bet snrub

Nope, no hedge. That's how confident I am! Also I'm about 2000 miles away from Vegas.

u cn do online

bovada has GSW -235!

i would strongly suggest hedging, or betting on individual games

What odds did they give you?

you guys need a betting thread.

I am sorely disappointed that the purity of pro sports is being sullied by talk of betting!

j0rdan give me some diagnostics on how the playoffs are faring under the current conference/division alignments...seriously, how's it goink?

Snrub you gotta hedge bro

take the money!

I remember when Auburn made the national title game a couple years ago and some guy who bet on them at 300-1 at the low point of their season decided not to hedge :0

yeah you gotta hedge, gsw are not gonna only win one game and the cavs are not gonna win sorry :(

i haven't read that article so i dunno what his arguments are but i'm not sure what a 1-16 bracket would have changed. would it have prevented the clippers from choking? the hawks from bottoming out? the rockets from being less uninspiring?

why is everyone hating on the rockets, they were fun

JVG's Ezeli starter stuff is still dumb imo

sure he could start for somebody but so can Alexey Shved

because theyre hateful

Rockets have to be satisfied with their decisions this year, just unlucky with those injuries. Sucks that the pelicans made the playoffs and worsened that draft pick

i def like the rockets more than most, love the small ball lineup too. dwight had another really solid postseason too.

their good postseason games made me appreciate their style in a way i didn't before for sure, not that it was particularly different but idk it clicked. the bad ones were like...jesus christ

Snrub you really ought to reconsider your prediction.

feel like its kinda unfair how hes just cursing pol who r playing his local team they didnt even do anything to him

Pffft stealing his cooking dance without crediting the source is curse-worthy crime.

tbf he stole it from raekwon

whole thing is kinda sad but mostly lol

THIS JUST IN: Klay Thompson is diagnosed with a concussion and will not return to the court until he is cleared.

My god ariza

hes a menace

hmm. could be a major tip for the series

one wld think hell be cleared and ready to go by game one i mean he didnt even get knocked out

yeah i sort of wonder if this is just a peace offering to people who were like "uhh the guy was bleeding from the ear he was obviously concussed come on" since as goon says they can just keep him secluded for a week and then clear him

he did say he was dizzy in the post game interview fwiw

I'd imagine 7-10 days but idk

wonder if speights will be ready to go by then too

lil b making himself into a sideshow starting to be nagl

its p good imo, it is his way

I mean sure it's what he does and dude is a clown but idk I guess it's that moment when a joke like this is on the lebatard show it goes from cool funny joke to my dad asking me abt lil b next week and I gotta be done

i celebrate lil b going mainstream also maybe he is a real witch?

hey if what we get out of this is either unveiling themselves and magic being real I withdraw my objection

*witches unveiling

im loving the whole lil b thing, im happy for him

draymond trollin' https://vine.co/v/eigmdeLFEKa

lol had a feeling that draymond was kind of dick

hah drymond is drunk af

zach's story was very good

When he agreed last fall to a near-max contract extension, he wanted to sign it right away, even before his agent arrived, team officials recall. His dog, Rocco, was home alone, and Thompson wanted to go play with him. Team executives joke they could have pressed Thompson right then for a discount, because he wanted to see Rocco so badly.

Doggies!

from that nytimes piece on lol curry's mouth guard:

Commentators like to refer to Curry’s “gunslinger mentality.” By this they mean that Curry does not suffer from self-doubt. His team, the Golden State Warriors, is a single win from the N.B.A. championship, and it isn’t hyperbole to say that what happens next largely depends on him. Yet search Curry for even a trace of nervous tension and you will find … well, there is one thing. Curry chews his mouth guard.

uh i don't know he did seem pretty shaken up in games 1-3?

omg klay and draymond were so drunk they really shouldn'ta been interviewed

i want beast mode's hat so bad.

omg this marshawn interview with draymond green's mom is everything
