NBA 2015-2016 THREAD

[FAH1223]

In high school and in the playgrounds of my neighborhood 3s were only shot by wiggas. No self-respecting Farax or Tyrone would stand out 23ft and lob shots. You made your money in the paint. Now I see 10 year-old Faraxs shooting from midcourt, a la Steph. These are the sad days of the NBA. I don't circle the calendar to watch NBA games anymore.

The NBA is in a GREAT place.

1990s ugly basketball is done.

Cavs just being humiliated by the Warriors tonight.

[Jabuutawi]

As much as I hate to say this, Warriors win in 5 with Draymond Green in the lineup, or in 6 if he is suspended next game. That boy is a dirty player.

Damn Clippers! Why can't you win a series much less a championship?! Short arms Blake Griffin gotta go.

[TheblueNwhite]

Lebron needs to bring it tonight or rip nicca.

Warriors

[SuldaanMaplesyrup]

This is what happens when you don't rest your starters towards the end of the regular season in preparation for the playoffs. What good does 73-9 do if you can't get a ring?

Shout outs to the Cavs for making history, well deserved finals win

[Smile-LiKe-SuN-RiSE]

RIP Steph Curry

People still watch the NBA after that 2002 Kings-Lakers series? The fix was in from before the series started. The NBA officials knew they would lose too many Cleveland fans and hence millions of dollars in potential revenue if the cavaliers lost again this series. Yall are a bunch of kids who think this is prime time basketball but this pussified zoning defensive game has nothing on the physical 1-on-1 unrigged games that kept you out of your seats. Maybe I am getting too old.
