Re: NBA Finals Thread

Steph and Klay missed some shots.
LeBron made a good block.
Kyrie hit a big 3 (when it seemed like neither team wanted to win it).

Cleveland won.

Any questions?

Trivia tidbit:

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 2h2 hours ago
No team with regular-season wins record in any sport - Warriors, 2007 Patriots, 2001 Mariners, 1995-96 Red Wings - capped season with title.

Should say the fix was in for a game 7. Games 5 and 6 looked like the NBA from the Bad Boys era where the officials ignored a lot of physical play that had not been seen all season. If the league regular season had been called the way games 5 and 6 were called the Warriors wouldn't have had 73 regular season wins and not been in the finals.

So the nba fixed the Warriors 73 games? Good to know

Thanks.

Whining by experts is allowed.

I'm sad they lost, because I like Draymond Green and I wanted him to win.

No doubt. The Cavs were out manned last year. The Warriors still had a legitimate shot with who they had this year. Hockey and basketball playoffs are a battle of attrition too. That's a long hard year on the body.

Going for 73 was dumb. In all major sports the team that holds the most regular season wins has not won the championship that year. It's important to rest people too.

Wasn't that false until this year? Didn't the Bulls win when they broke the record?

Yes, and Lebron has way more miles on his legs than anyone on the Warriors, yet he somehow managed to get down the court and swat Iguodala's layup into next season.

Draymond was the only Warrior that wanted to win last night. Curry and Thompson shit the bed.

Curry has been bad in back to back finals now.

If it werent for injuries, Cavs would have been B2B champs.

How did I know this was going to come up. Not just from you. Apparently the injuries to the Warriors don't count.

Do you learn a lot by uploading junior high games to YouTube? Nobody here thinks you even know what a basketball looks like. Now go out in the garage and break everything in a fit of rage.

Yes, it was. But now it's not. So, the fact is 100% of the time the team with the all time most wins in the season didn't win the championship.

It might not have a damn thing to do with it. It might. I can make an argument either way. I remember when the tigers went to their last world series they won the division 4 straight didn't they? Then they had all that time to "rest". well they looked like shit in the series. But my point is, it seems that maybe you might be burning out guys who need to have good legs. Like IB says though, didn't seem to bother Lebron.

Maybe WBH can even give me another speech about how the Warriors will dominate or how point spreads work or message board moderation. Lol

WBH is a real black mark on the history of this board.

I missed your pick for the series, big mouth. Did you tell WBH he was wrong before the series started? Or where you too busy being at expert at 4th grade summer league games?

It's probably still there and unedited. I likely missed it because you don't know much about basketball. I mean, you are the poster who thought it was Peiking roll instead of pick & roll, and something you order at a sushi bar. After that we just kind of tuned you out on the basketball stuff. But it was funny.

Most of your posts (the really dumb ones) are being written by you.

The moderator generated ones might have some humor and wit to them (depending on the mod). I'll let you know if I see any of those...I mean if you're still here just checking on stuff, and not (also) making dumb posts...
