Haha kinda love that take if only because it allows people to ask as to what point in time LBJ folded. Skip has yet to answer.

True that but when you’re historically stacked, you’re supposed to dominate and reveling in it becomes overkill. GS’ core was already stomping the league before adding another top 5 guy.

1) Didn’t say you did.

Big fan of Herb, but he blew the call. Poirer should’ve won via DQ.

S/O to the KD travel to give GS their first lead of the game.

And the “teammates who carry him late in games”? Interesting...

The fake underdog shtick would work if only GS wasn’t the most star-studded team in NBA history. They aren’t the most hated team, but rather based on jersey sales, seem to be one of, if not the most, favorite teams in the league because of their immense talent and defensive intensity.

Undercutting a shooter is nothing new and the gamble paid off. Hate that the Spurs got gooned out of a fair chance...but it worked.

Don’t trip over yourself making excuses for what’s clearly a dirty play. It happened. It helped. It didn’t hit those huge shots down the stretch, though, that was just Steph being the best Steph when it mattered the most.

Even if you see SA winning, hard to imagine them sweeping GS. Should be a great series...unless the Avengers go scorched earth and torch SA w/ a hampered kawhi.

If only John had a father figure in his life then this series would already be over...

Yeah, no. The Celtics didn’t become a top seed by just being some scrub squad. Think they’re a weak #1 seed and that a healthy bulls team would’ve bounced them, but to call them a bunch of scrubs and IT is just disingenuous.

Think a lot of what your points have to do with is the UFC’s lack of a young hw phenom, which allows for all these questionable athletes to linger in the division. HW desperately needs a young star to dominate and command attention to the division.

Agreed on everything, except the roids. The dick pill story seems almost too on-board for Jones to be true but that’s why I think it’s definitely true.

*Anderson Silva nods head*

Nope.

Yeah that’s what I’m saying but just my opinion and not factual, asides from shots not falling, so I get your viewpoint.

Astute follow-up, care to comment further?

Or, he was hurt. Shots didn’t fall and the team couldn’t establish a rhythm. Did a whole lot for this team, his season performance deserves more than to be summarily dismissed w/ an FU.

39th win w/o him this season, in a high pressure situation on the road in the playoffs and they put on a historic performance. Anyway you break it down, it runs counter to the kawhi mvp case, which is strong.
