The Rest of the NBA

[MDS]

hes playing out of his mind but the whole thing feels cheap that he up and joined the loaded warriors...clearly he does not care

[PhillyPhreak54]

JR Smith again!

Wow

[SD]

Horrible playoffs capped off by a zesty finals. I don't know if open looks is a stat they kep but I'm willing to bet GS broke the all time record. This whole season became anti climatic as soon as Durant signed.

Great scene there with KD and his moms

i know you dont like basketball but the finals were amazingly entertaining...shouldve gone at least 6.

i dont love gsw having an all star team, and yes the playoffs as whole were bad, but the last few games were hoops at an insane level

[PhillyPhreak54]

It's always cringe worthy when owners and execs talk during these presentations

They're all like Howard Dean screeching years ago

[Don Ho]

^^^^Yes!^^^^

Take the trophy and get the hell out of the way.

I love basketball dude. And you just backed everything I said minus the last few games were hoops at an amazing level (they weren't even close). What happened was the playoffs were so zesty you actually had a few competitive games in the finals and blew your load.

You might be too young to remember the 80's Sixers/Celts/Lakers/Pistons or even the 90's with the Bulls but today's game doesn't compare on an enjoyability/competitive scale. Yes today's NBA athlete is better than the previous eras but that doesn't make the games any better.

Aside from the Sixers I stopped following the NBA as close as I used to during the 2000 Lakers run. Aside from the series they beat the Sixers, their other championships were 100% given to them by the refs. The sport lost its integrity to me at that point.

There were table scraps of excitement given to us in the last few games of the Finals, but overall the series was not great. At no point did I think either team could win the series, which kinda limits how great it could be. As the long expected payoff for a boring season and a boring playoffs, it didn't deliver the goods and the storylines going into the Finals drove more conversations than the games themselves. Unworthy successor to 2015 and 2016 in my opinion. The freak Game 4 will be remembered but otherwise 2017 is just in the books as the year the superteam steamrolled the league from the beginning to the end.

if you didn't enjoy watching that basketball then there's just no way you can like the sport

Maybe if you enjoy blowouts and Durant dunking the ball every 5 seconds. The finals were awful.

[ice grillin you]

like i said its probably not your thing


also warriors are skipping the white house visit

[MDS]

I love basketball dude.

sure

3/5 games were super competitive and the game was being played at a ridiculously high level even in the 2 blowouts. 6 superstars were on the floor including the 2 best players and 2 best shooters. is it good for the sport that it takes 6 months to get to that point? no of course not.

but if you watched basketball last night and were bored by it then i dont know what to tell you

[Diomedes]

lol...GS unanimously pre-empts the customary WH invitation:  thanks no thanks.
