Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

[P C H]

Again in the six games gsw and Cleveland played last year prior to game five gsw was beating the cavs by 20 a game on avg

Like I said, credit to the cavs for getting it done but crazy **** had to happen for them to even push it to game 7. Call it how it is man.

 

[P C H]

And the **** doctors prescribe players to get healthy at times are worse than peds for the human body

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Stephen A still going at KD.

Back in October, at James’ Halloween party that made headlines for its mock tombstones that memorialized the Warriors’ lost 3-1 Finals lead, sources told ESPN.com there was even a dummy dressed up like Curry on the floor of the haunted house that guests had no choice but to walk over when they arrived to get to the party.

You obviously don't understand team dynamics at all.

Losing two major role players/starters and adding the best scorer in the league is an entirely new team.

Doesn't matter that the other core played together because there were totally different roles than now.

Iggy and Livingston are barely factors anymore and it's obvious that KD has to be the top option.

nobody's role is different dude. even klay is still getting the same amount of shots he was before.
it was just a dumb comparison considering the only player that returned for miami in 2011 was dwade. literally everyone else is new. this isn't nearly the same thing. plus we are almost halfway through the year stop with the "they need time to adjust" excuse every time they lose

God that game yesterday couldn't have ended any worse for the Warriors

Klay got postered by Jefferson
Curry was awful all game
Kyrie hit another game winner
Warriors blew another big lead to the Cavs

I really hope this didn't **** them up mentally even more against the Cavs

Yea the game definitely ended on a all around bad note for the dubs

 

[tyevvyotcu]

stop putting lavine in dumb trade proposals too. why tf would we trade lavine for noel and another young player? we need veteran experience.

 

[nikekid6]

theyre saying that lebron should have been called for a tech and that kd got fouled

Bro I think y'all are reading way too much into this game though. I thought some of y'all were just trolling at first, but you guys are actually serious.

Cavs are the defending Champs with the Best Player on the planet, they protected home court, they did what they needed to do.

Warriors still have the best record in the NBA, lost by 1 point. On the the next.

Cavs lost both games in the regular season last year, also to the defending Champs.

[flyerthandelta]

I love the fact the media not talking about how Curry sat on the bench with his tail tucked in while Kyrie made the GW shot


Yet you wanna highlight how KD screwed up at the end *He did get his foot stepped on ...

No one talking about how Melo screwed up at the end with midg3t Bradley on him

Get that WIR going

I'm not even a Warriors fan, I'm just calling it how it is.

The team added a player who's now using over 25% of possessions, lost their only rim protection and bench depth but it's not a new team.

You sound crazy.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Warriors replaced starting 3 and 5 with brand new players and are missing barboza , speights and ezili off the bench

There are a number of bench players getting more minutes or new bench players in general

There's going to be an adjustment period, maybe not to the degree of Miami but definitely a big adjustement period

 

[Bert.]

theyre saying that lebron should have been called for a tech and that kd got fouled

KD DEF didn't get fouled

And yes 98% of the time a tech is handed out of the rim hanging, we've seen a handful of times over the season where a player randomly won't get it in the heat of a moment like that

But KD? Zero foul, there was no trip, Jefferson stepped on his foot and Durant went to move, he didn't trip him or purposely trip.

Zero foul

Zero foul

I re-watched it too... no way I'm calling that a foul. That was a Championship type game. Can't call those type of fouls.

LeBrons hanging on the rim though, you gotta give the tech. It's too blatant.

 

[P C H]

Lmao KD definitely got fouled man a tripping foul is a tripping foul regardless of game time, intent, or whatever qualifier you wanna throw out there

 

[pmatic]

Giving out techs for hanging on the rim is the equivalent of throwing a flag for excessive celebration. Get that NFL nonsense out of here.

 

[Kaleo15]

They gave a tech for RJ winking bro WINKING

 

[lynchpin33]

Don't we have a couple of Piston regulars in here getting #Popoviched tonight by Bron?

Lue annouced it 90 minutes before the tip off. For future reference is that the cutoff the NBA requires for it to be made known?

 

[Peep Game]

If you trying to play that game.


It took LeBron to go to the press to get Draymond suspended. Bogut was also out last year, and Iggy and Curry was playing hurt.


Warriors pretty much destroyed the Cavs in '15, and Cavs won by 1 point last year.

If you're really trying to play that game, Adam Silver did everything in his power to give Warriors the series by not having Curry suspended for game 7 for this:

And they still beat them on their own court. 

P.S. They beat them by 4. Not 1 like you said.

And here's the "hurt" Curry during the warm-ups before game 5 of the 2016 finals, when he thought that he would be lifting the NBA and Finals MVP trophies a couple of hours later:

View media item 2276247

Obviously, he could barely walk.

Like I was saying, this drunken tirade was the instigator:




Not to mention the fact that LeBron himself wasn't 100% in the 2015 finals after having tweaked his ankle in both the Bulls as well as the Hawks series because he had to carry the Cavs on his back during the entire 2015 playoffs:





And the Warriors still played dirty and tried to hurt him in the 2015 finals even though they were already facing a team that was at two thirds of their strength to begin with:
