Man if the Pacers for whatever reason decline Lance Stephenson’s option this summer he would be the absolute perfect dude for the Warriors to pick up for their bench
 
Part fatigue, but IMO more than fatigue their cap is catching up to them. They are REALLY struggling to find a 5th player to go with their core 4, and even in their core 4 Draymond Green is clearly in decline.

They aren't as immortal as I perceived them to be prior. Still better than the field largely due to their top end talent, and you always gotta / should pick them, but they are just another great, championship level team, not invincible.

if lacob finds a way to have KD take a significant paycut :lol: :pimp:
would've been interesting if kyrie had stayed in cleveland with the level that bron has been on this yr
 
I think the Rockets should’ve been more physical with Curry when he drove to the hoop.

I don’t think there was 1 hard foul on him this series
 
***** wtf ru talking about w this Manning rambling


Its more than being an underdog, no1 has WON a championship with a team as trash as these Cavs and that's facts. **** I'm not even an LBJ fan but what's happening is special.

Wait, did I miss something here? When da fuq ric the lebron win a title with this trash Cavs team?

Draymond's defense is still top notch, it's just teams finally realized that letting him do what he wants in half court offense works to their advantage.

But yeah, their 'other guys' aren't great.

Y’all got it this season. Want to put up some money on next season? 8o
 
The days of Dray feasting off the PNR are slowly coming to an end.

If you trapping Curry after this series you’re insane.

you had the wolves beating us, the jazz beating us, and probably the warriors in 4 or 5 over us.

so this is probably good news. i look forward to it.

jinxmelone :pimp:

I said Minny didn't have a chance :lol. On paper they have pieces but they're dumb as bricks and soft as ****. Jazz without Rubio was a hurdle but Mitch was killing yall when he came up hurt. And warriors woulda slid yall in 5 til Iggy and Klay got hurt.

But really how are yall gonna improve this team? You're stuck with an aging pg who's frequently hurt (looking at you celtics), a turd of an sg, Ryan Anderson, and you have to max capella. Don't even have any assets to trade
 
It's a part of our identity, but I won't expect anybody who doesn't watch the Rockets a lot to understand that. We start launching 3s when we don't get calls at the rim. I mean, you can post all the stats, graphs and formulas you want. :lol: but it's the same story for us every time we're not getting key calls at the rim.

or your coach could try to run a real offense, or get his team to adjust to what the defense is giving them. Common sense would tell you after 20 missed threes maybe your guys don't have the legs to keep relying on those shots but Dantoni is gonna forever be the arrogant coach he is & live or die with his philosophy

I mean, how valuable is his defense relative how BAD is offense can potentially be in a 7 game series? He's obviously still good, but he's part of the reason why the Warriors aren't "unbeatable." The rockets would have been toast if he was a league average shooter.

The Dubs best lineup is the death lineup which features two non shooters, and literally nothing else on the roster. Almost cost them this year, and it SHOULD only get harder for them next year. Interested seeing what they do this summer.

I think thats part of my point. It may be what they did all year long, but settling for threes when you were getting buckets on the drive and are cold as hell cost them this game.

It doesnt matter if it's what they did all year. You cant expect to get bailed out shooting a bunch of threes.

Mitchell was killing the Rockets?
 
enjoy it bro your run is about to be done. Still a great run tho 2 chips and maybe a 3rd on the way in Four years . You can't be mad about that.

Never thought they’d win 1 in my lifetime. Everything else is just gravy. I got tickets to Game 1. I’ve never been a Finals game before. I’m soaking all this in because after this over. I’m sure it will never be like this again.

QFE. If Draymond doesnt spend the entire offseason shooting threes and working on finishing at the rim then he is just going to keep getting the Harrison barnes treatment.
 
One thing is forgotten in this Rockets meltdown.... does BIG LEEMELONE BIG LEEMELONE win The Troll of The Year Award for most of the season sarcastically insisting that Houston had a historically great offense as well as elite defense, repeating this was their year and letting us know at every turn that there is no reason GSW should beat them?

He was so dedicated to that narrative. I know he’s probably waiting for y’all to log off like Swaggy P was waiting for Ernie to shut the **** up so he can turn up and celebrate his vindication.

Congratulations. Well done sir. You earned it.
