And just like that, the NBA world shall explode into lottery rigging accusations.

Brady rigged it.

Kinda funny that the Celtics rep said he wishes the draft were today so they could get some help for tomorrow night. Even he knows they have no shot to beat the Cavs.

Owners say the dumbest things.

I think you could say that if the Lakers, as I expected, got the #1.

KevShmev · « **Reply #637 on:** May 16, 2017, 07:06:08 PM »

Lonzo Ball and his circus clown of a dad are made for LA. It will be a perfect fit.

Couldn't even be bothered to come to the lottery.

Too busy selling half G kicks outta his trunk on Sunset Blvd.

At first, I was like WTF did you say, but then I ran it through Google translate Ebonics to English. $500 sneakers. Got it!

You are black...Floyd.

And you are so old and white Tim.

If such a thing exists, that's beyond awesome. Also, the Warriors are on a 102-52 run (58-33 in game 1, 44-19 in this game) since Kawhi Leonard's injury. Pretty strong argument for MVP right there.

KevShmev · « **Reply #643 on:** May 16, 2017, 07:55:41 PM »

I suspect just about any team would get shellacked by the Warriors without their best player, which is taking nothing away from how good Leonard is.

What a shame that what could have been a good series is now a joke, all because of what was called a dirty play by both Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy in the pre-game.

Cable · « **Reply #644 on:** May 16, 2017, 08:33:17 PM »

Are my eyes correct; Durant is a good defender?

bosk1 · « **Reply #645 on:** May 16, 2017, 08:37:18 PM »

Even Jackson and Van Gundy say bone-headed things.

KevShmev · « **Reply #646 on:** May 17, 2017, 07:37:50 PM »

Congrats on that 1 seed, Celtics.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #647 on:** May 17, 2017, 07:42:34 PM »

I think you know that was a false #1. I have no illusions what will happen in this series.

KevShmev · « **Reply #648 on:** May 17, 2017, 07:43:26 PM »

Honestly, I am surprised they are keeping it this close.

TAC · « **Reply #649 on:** May 17, 2017, 07:44:20 PM »

The Cavs will have a 2-0 series lead after Game 1!

The Celtics can't hit the ocean from the beach.

When Tyler Zeller gets in the game in the first half, you know it's bad.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #650 on:** May 17, 2017, 07:45:53 PM »

The league is about superstars. And the Cavs have "The Superstar".

TAC · « **Reply #651 on:** May 17, 2017, 07:47:11 PM »

You're "The Superstar"!

TheOutlawXanadu · « **Reply #652 on:** May 18, 2017, 09:41:34 AM »

At least my Raptors aren't the only team that Cleveland treats like a joke.

The scary thing is that, as well as the Cavs are playing, Golden State might turn the tables and make them look like a joke in the Finals.

I don't see that happening. I see another epic series that very well could go 7 games again.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #654 on:** May 18, 2017, 11:05:12 AM »

Yeah, I don't see that either. That will be like that last 2 series for them.

black_biff_stadler · « **Reply #655 on:** May 18, 2017, 06:05:16 PM »

It'll be ridiculous if they both enter the finals 12-0. Too bad the weak east and injury-hobbled Spurs' lack of playing to their true potential will be more than enough fuel to keep the haters talking shit about the finals and muddying up potentially the best finals matchup since 1987.

Destiny Of Chaos · « **Reply #656 on:** May 19, 2017, 02:17:35 PM »

Draymond Green said something outlandish today. In other news, water is wet.

4-0 sweep. No game changer like LeBron.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #659 on:** May 19, 2017, 07:23:48 PM »

Almost a 40 point lead. Time for a movie. Lol

TAC · « **Reply #660 on:** May 19, 2017, 07:32:19 PM »

They're going to sweep the Celtics in 2 games!

This has been embarrassing. A JOKE!!

Accelerando · « **Reply #661 on:** May 19, 2017, 08:30:21 PM »

This shit is a reason why many fans have turned away from watching NBA Games now. They don't wanna see 40 pt blowouts. They wanna see competition, nail biting to the last second games.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #662 on:** May 19, 2017, 08:31:32 PM »

40? Try 50!!

TAC · « **Reply #663 on:** May 19, 2017, 08:31:50 PM »

Plenty of biting going on in this game.

Accelerando · « **Reply #664 on:** May 19, 2017, 09:58:13 PM »

I hope San Antonio can put up a bigger fight tomorrw. Ginobli came out today during their practice and said everyone seemed like they felt sorry for themselves during Game 2, and they are gonna come out tomorrow playing Spurs ball, with or without Leonard.

Honestly, as Spurs fan, and this not me giving up on my Team...even if Kawhi is questionable or even can play less than 100%, Pop should not play him. He did something similiar to Tim Duncan back in 2000, the year after they won their first Championship. Tim Duncan injured his knee before the playoffs and didnt play the last few games of the regular season. Timmy was about 75% healthy by the time the playoffs came. Pop sat Duncan so that he would be a healthy player for them in the future. That series we lost to the Suns 3-1. Probably could have contested the Lakers in the WCF with healthy Duncan. Afterwards, drafted Parker and Ginobli, and got 4 more championships, retired the Admiral a Champion, and an extended career for Duncan.

The Spurs have always been about the bigger picture. And I think Pop will sit Leonard for the rest of the series.
