I GET the Lebron love, but they would be significant underdogs against this Warriors squad and most likely would be swept.

I think maybe you didn’t actually read beyond the headline of yesterday’s post? It wasn’t a call for the teams’ respective role players to be erased from the series. It was, very specifically, a call for the teams not to employ third-brain defensive schemes that prevented the stars from ever guarding each other.

I do not think the the Warriors would be a pick ‘em against this Cavs team, I think they’d be pretty easy favorites.

What are they supposed to do? Maybe pass the basketball with more than 3 seconds left?

Chris Paul then flops to the ground as if the sniper got another one.

Is this the thread where we shit on Harden’s box score?

Watching Harden/Paul dribbling for 23.2 seconds then throwing a desperation pass at a disinterested teammate to hoist up a shot before the shot clock expires will never not be funny. Only way it could be better is if the soundtrack was “Yakety Sax”.

standing around like fucking idiots while their Designated Ball User dribbles a Morse Code War and Peace into the hardwood in 22-second chapters.

I haven’t watched much Houston basketball this year, and I’m glad I haven’t. It was painful. Harden dribbling down to 5 seconds every possession as you said was so damn boring. D’antoni definitely has more in his arsenal than this, but I guess this “worked” for the regular season, so they’re going to ride it into the…

I agree with all of this. Two additional things:

Yeah, contrary to recent reports, I’m not all that confident the Golden State Killer was caught, because I witnessed at least five murders last night.
