People definitely respect belichek, but also hate him. If you could have any coach in the nfl, I'm sure most of you will pick him and same goes for Brady

no #no

Always happy to see the Heat eliminated. Good job Raptors.

I used to play as the sonics all the time in nba 98 on the playstation. Even back then, I was indifferent to the hornets. Good times.

I always used to play as Shawn Kemp and Detlef Schrempf on NBA Jam in the Arcade.

I see Sonics jerseys and hats pretty often. Yet I never did when they were actually in Seattle. Go figure.

Brent Barry was GOAT



I have a Detlef Schrempf jersey somewhere as well

Larry Byrd > LeBron

Larry Byrd > LeBron

I saw some random stat last week that Curry has more 3's in the past two seasons than Bird did in his entire career, or something like that. Really goes to show how the game has changed the past 30 years or so.

Though, I still stand by my claim that had Dražen Petrović not died, he would be the League's all time leading scorer today. So sad what happened

The 30 for 30 about him and Vlade is one of my all time favs.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

steph is so good

although play of the night was that iguodala and 1

 

[Sens1Canes2]

Wouldn't have thought the Raptors would get even one game from the Cavaliers, especially after seeing games 1 and 2.

Oh....and LeBron is the biggest flopping ***** I've ever seen.

That's not a flop, that's performance art.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

i do not understand how kyrie irving was not the raptors player of the game last nite?

3 of 19 with 1 assist? that was the key to toronto winning imo

 

[Brock Anton]

Chris Paul is a thousand times worse than LeBron in terms of flopping.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Chris Paul is a thousand times worse than LeBron in terms of flopping.

chris paul is like 5'11" and a buck 70. it is easier to sell flops when you're the size of a middle schooler than it is when you're 6'8", 260. but yes, i agree with you 1,000%

lebron can be bad tho, except for that time jusuf nurkić destroyed him

 

[HisIceness]

Two of the best, or worst, flops ever. At least when Vlade Divac flopped, it was somewhat amusing.

FWIW, I can't stand watching the Spurs play, because I know that Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker are going to act like they got hit in the mouth and proceed to whine to the officials afterwards. Those two guys are probably the worst and they've been doing it forever.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

I kinda like the Raptors. They remind me of the 2004 Pistons. No superstars, but they play a very solid team game, and will kick the **** out of you in the paint. But that said, I can not stand a single person employed by Rogers who calls their games.

 

[Brock Anton]

IDK about that, that '04 Pistons team was really, really good. Valanciunas and Biyombo are good young players, but they're no Ben and Rasheed IMO.. or at least not yet. Nor do I think that Lowry compares to Billups (he doesn't have anywhere near the clutchness that Chauncey had either). Rip/Prince and DeRozan/Carroll is pretty comparable though.

my all time favorite inception dream is what would happen if the 1989 pistons played the 2004 pistons in a best of 7

images of laimbeer and 'sheed throwing down make me giggle like a school girl

Alright guys, trivia time:

With the win tonite, LeBron becomes the first non-Celtic to appear in six consecutive NBA Finals.

Do you know who the only non-Celtic to win four consecutive Finals is?
