Non-Sharks Bay Area Sports Thread XXVII

[JoeThorntonsRooster]

I don't get how anyone could seriously care about the NBA. It's looking like the final four teams left standing will be the ones that were picked in the preseason by almost everyone.

3 teams have won 8 of the last 9 Stanley Cups, and those 3 teams all drafted in the top-5 in back-to-back years.

Since 2010, the NBA has had more parity amongst championship winners than the NHL has.

That was classic Warriors basketball last night, exposed Houston for the one-dimensional offense that they really are.

I guess I didn't realize that there were so many different NBA champions lately. I really don't follow the NBA much that I guess it just seemed that way.

The Warriors won last night. Ho hum.

Kings get the 2nd pick.

Welcome to Sacramento, Luka Doncic.

The Rockets are the epitome of everything that sucks about basketball. It’s all one on one garbage, it’s not a team game at all and they have a bunch of whiny bitches who throw their heads back and dive like soccer players. I hate watching them.

Way to go Draymond. He passed the ball instead of calling timeout after getting the rebound so they couldn't advance it to half court and then fumbled and turned it over. So many turnovers and stupid shit in this game. Chris Paul and Ovechkin couldn't get passed the 2nd round all these years and it looks like they might both make the finals in the same year. The stars are aligned for those two.

The Warriors are playing like absolute garbage, so they deserve to lose. They’re trying to beat the Rockets at their own game, and that’s not what makes the Warriors a great team.

 

[DrFeelgood]

Too many turnovers and too much ISO ball from Durant. he was trying to be the hero all game long and that is not the Warriors game at all.

Some really confusing decisions towards the end too, like passing to Cook for a 3 with a minute left when down by 1. The Draymond stuff that has already been mentioned. Letting them abuse Curry on defense on every possession.

The whole last 5 minutes of that game was some of the worst basketball i've ever watched, just fouls after fouls after fouls. The frequent timeouts that cut to commercials as well made it damn near unwatchable.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I wonder how this Pablo Sandoval second base experiment will work. He already beat out a routine grounder to short for an RBI infield hit.

I don't think I've ever watched an entire Lebron James game on ESPN, my god it's terrible. It's as if the rest if the team doesn't exist.

Don’t watch Houston then. You’ll rip your eyes out.

Except I’m pretty sure that’s literally how the team plays. It reminds me of Hertl in game 6 against Vegas where only one player is doing anything, and that player is significantly better than everybody else, but it might or might not be enough.

I get that, and he’s incredible, but even when other guys do something it’s: “What a set up by Lebron!” or “What a screen by Lebron!” Not to mention after the 2016 Finals win, which Kyrie Irving pretty much carried them to in Game 7, all the talk was about Lebron. It’s no wonder Kyrie left to do his own thing.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

The support cast was huge defensively. LeBron got them a lot of looks in the first 3 quarters then said f*** it, if you can't make open 3's then I'm shooting every trip.

 

[WTFetus]

Draymond is such trash this series.

 

[Lebanezer]

The Warriors are so irritating because they can play so well and sometimes they just play like a really good team, instead of a great team.

 

[slocal]

I can't be irritated with a win.

Dubsssss

 

[HOOCH2173]

Dubs in 5!

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

What a game.

 

[Lebanezer]

JR Smith for finals mvp.

 

[HOOCH2173]

JR Smith for finals mvp.

4.7 seconds will haunt him the rest of his life!

 

[rangerssharks414]

Burn.

 

[WTFetus]

It's amazing how one-sided Van Gundy and Jackson are. Shame that they're here every Finals.

Whose side are they on? If Jackson is against the Warriors, I totally understand that.

Yeah I don't get why Lacob and co couldn't just move on and be happy with Kerr without putting Jackson down.
