Not to take anything away from the Cavs...

Then don't, Mister Cowherd. Just don't.

 

[StormCast]

Then don't, Mister Cowherd. Just don't.

Uh...I didn't. It was a criticism of Curry not an excuse for Cleveland winning.

Excuses start with Green, Bogut, etc.

 

[Sens1Canes2]

Then don't, Mister Cowherd. Just don't.

I don't think pointing out that the Warriors (and specifically the star player and MVP) had a lot of turnovers is "taking anything away from the Cavs.

So ornery.

Derrick Rose to the Knicks ... they never learn, do they?

 

[HisIceness]

I'm all for anything to ensure that the Lakers and Knicks continue to suck. So big thanks to the Knicks organization for helping to contribute to this.

On the other hand, this just confirms that the Knicks will continue to have more nationally televised games than they really deserve.

 

[HisIceness]

DeMarcus Cousins is not happy with the Kings draft pick according to his twitter account. You stay you DeMarcus.

Also, Orlando trades Victor Oladipo to Oklahoma City for perhaps one year of Serge Ibaka. Don't quite see how this makes sense for the Magic.

 

[Brock Anton]

Yes, the Sixers actually drafted two players under 6-10. Super-duper-big basketball is dead. rip in peace sam hinkie

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Has there ever been a team in NBA history that floored a team of five guys all 6'10" or taller?

Sixers could be on to something big (pun intended) here

**** small ball

 

[Brock Anton]

PG - Ben Simmons (6-10)
SG - Dario Saric (6-10)
SF - Joel Embiid (7-0)
PF - Nerlens Noel (6-11)
C - Jahlil Okafor (6-11)

This is the closest anyone will get to the ****ing Monstars in Space Jam.

i once did this in nba 2k16 on houston

PG: Darijo Rakitic (6'10" - franchise mode drafted player)
SG: Danilo Gallinari (6'10")
SF: Greg Monroe (6'11")
PF: DeMarcus Cousins (6'11")
C: Ben Greene (7'6" - franchise mode drafted player)

There is like, a sickening amount of money being thrown around in the NBA right now. 4-years, $65 million for ****ing Mozgov? 5-years, $128 million for Bradley Beal? Good lord. Can't wait for the NBA lockout in a couple years.

This may sound dumb, but can someone ELI5 on how money being thrown around at players can cause a lockout. I follow a lot when it comes to sports, but the business part, not so much.

Mozgov was apparently partying it up big time today in Hollywood.

Dwight Howard to Hawks, 3 years $70 million.

Hi there Bill Laimbeer!

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Hi there Bill Laimbeer!

No jokes, my all time favorite basketball fantasy would be to watch LeBron try to play against the 1990 Pistons. Laimbeer would ****ing destroy him

 

[HisIceness]

There used to be a video of Larry Bird throwing the ball at Laimbeer during the 1987 Conference Finals, was pretty funny

Laimbeer and Mahorn today would probably send LeBron and many others to an early retirement.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

That team was just nasty and "Bad Boys" or w/e the hell that 30 for 30 is called is amazing.

 

[HisIceness]

Bad Boys is indeed an amazing documentary but I think This Magic Moment surpassed it considering I remember those teams, albeit vaguely. I think the 1995 Finals is the first NBA finals I remember watching.

I bought a Detroit Bad Boys shirt at the Detroit Airport last weekend and had 3 people ask me if I was from there. They really were hated just about everywhere except Detroit.
