Neat.

There are very few places in those photos that you could zoom in on and I would not be terrified.

Right? Harden putting Draymond on a poster last night already makes this a top 5 all-time playoff series for me. If Chris Paul decides to give Draymond an Ibaka-karate-chop to the balls tomorrow night, it jumps to #1 easily.

Since we have given Curry some credit this series for doing his best against Harden or Paul, this needs to be brought up: James Harden played the best defensive half of his career in the second half last night, he looked engaged and locked down Steph and Durant over several stretches. I know we all hate the man, but…

I firmly believe that if prime Federer played prime Serena right now, Roger would win, so I think that he is the greatest player of all time in terms of on-court ability. However, Serena will end up with the greatest career in tennis history, which is equally impressive.

I don’t know why, but I died reading this. Thank you, tiny feline.

I think it’s on both the Cavs and Celtics: the Cavs only try on defense at home with the crowd buzzing plus their role players can’t handle road pressure, and the Celtics become useless on offense on the road. I don’t see the Celtics getting a win in Cleveland, so this series will be decided by whether or not Lebron…

I mean, I don’t think that the rings argument is as simple as you are making it seem. Javale is a career backup/occasional starter and Duncan was an all-time great superstar who carried his team for years, to argue that Javale is better than Duncan just because he helped his team repeat is just willfully ignorant.…

So a team losing their two best players and still getting carried to the Finals by the most underrated star in the league and three young players growing up in front of our very eyes isn’t an exciting storyline? Sounds like you just don’t wanna root for a Boston team, and I get it, but it’s not like the Celtics losing…

Counterpoint: that world already exists as long as Tom Brady and Bill Belicheck continue to be Patriots, so a hypothetical Celtics title doesn’t change anything. On the other hand, if Golden State keeps winning, we have to deal with the average Warrior fan in addition to Boston fans.

Nah, the majority of us are still gonna pull for whoever wins the Cavs-Celtics series. Last night was just a reality check for those of us who deluded ourselves into thinking that the Warriors had any chance of not winning another title this year.

It boils down to the same thing with teams like Houston, Cleveland and OKC: having someone with a perpetual mismatch against any defender is great, but you still have to put a system in around them, or it goes to shit in the playoffs.

Spirit Squad revival?

yes?

Ok, I understand that IT and Boogie loved playing together in Sacto and that IT and Julius have developed good chemistry, but someone please explain to me how Paul George looks at a potential team of IT, Lonzo, Ingram, Randle, Kuzma and Demarcus and says “I wanna get in on that shit”.

“The shitters are getting bolder” is a phrase I never thought would pass through my mind, yet here we are.

Is it just me or are those type of questions really dumb? I get that it’s a neat thing for Paxton to throw a no-hitter in Canada, but it’s stupid to pretend that every Canadian player gives a shit about it solely because they’re from Canada.

Yeah, he was playing on a less talented team against one of the greatest teams of all time, how is their record indicative of how good he is individually? The only players that bother Golden State are Lebron and maybe Kawhi, so it’s just weird to go after CP for an average outing when there are way bigger issues on…

Chris Paul is a 9x All-Star who just put up 23 and 11 as a secondary option against a top-5 defense in the conference finals. How are you blaming any of this on him?

I think this is the right route to go. The Rockets could also start Capela on Durant, that way when someone comes over to double KD and he swings it to Draymond or Andre, Capela could be the recovery man and help disrupt anything that would make it to the rim out of the double team advantage. Golden State could…
