Not so much...I assume you're a GS fan.
They still have LBJ who is the greatest to ever play the game, period. Despite all the nay-Sayers, there is a game 7 in Boston. Basically you got Le Bron against the entire Celtics team and they still can't stop him. If the Celts win the East they will get smoked whether they play Houston or GS. It was fun to watch the Cavs win the championship in 2016, being down 1-3 and coming back.

If you would have taken a poll at the start of the year and asked if the Celts would even have a shot at making it to the NBA finals losing Hayward for the entire year and Kyrie for a chunk of the season and the entire playoffs, I think 99.9% of people polled would say they would have no shot. I think most would say they have a good chance of not even making the playoffs. It's pretty amazing. Who cares if they lose in the Finals if they win tomorrow.

I've got Celtics winning game 7, showing Bron what a team looks like. Rockets in 7 as long as Paul is at 80%. |

Not many LeBron naysayers this morning, eh ... His 8th straight NBA finals. Speaks for itself.

“NBA playoffs anyone?” asked the OP.
Well, since you asked. No, not me, thanks. Every few days I drive by the childhood home of James Naismith, the inventor of basketball. Very pretty and quaint stone house located near Almonte Ontario and I wonder every time how or why he came up with such a painfully boring game. What a waste of very tall people! |

Celtics naysayer here. They played awful!!!!!!! Could not buy a basket. They beat themselves. Pretty impressive though that the King had more turnovers than the entire Celtics team.

Regardless of what Cleveland does in the Finals LeBron did bring the Cavaliers a Championship so his return to Cleveland was a success. |

Whew! Warriors pull it out on the road. Couldn’t complain if they lost but stoked to see ‘em get another shot at a title!

Wouldn't it be reasonable to think after missing say 15 3-point attempts in a row to try maybe some 2 pointers? But to put up 27 straight misses, well that had a lot to say in the Rockets second straight second half melt-down to give a very vulnerable Warriors team another trip to the finals.
Does James have enough left in the tank to lead the Cavs to a title? If Iguodala can play in the finals, i'd give the edge to the Warriors. JMO Tom

But a much depleted, veg young Celtics team who could not compete on the road, and a very young Pacers team took them to 7 games. They don’t have Kyrie and he’s been huge in the previous series. The Warriors are the defending champs, beat them handily twice this year and 4-1 last year. Too much talent, experience , and depth. I don’t see how the Cavs can beat them. |

Trashtalking, dirty play on the court, fans taunting players, etc...are there any gentleman players in the NBA? Oh and the baskets are too low for these guys. The big dunks don't impress me like they used to. The players are getting taller. Hockey too...what's with the giant pads, huge goalies, and nets that never get larger? Couldn't do without hockey though, but basketball, meh. Sorry!

I don't really follow hockey, and I think if one looks they'll find I have correspondingly zero posts on that thread. I don't think it's particularly gentlemanly of all the folks posting on this thread about how much they don't like the NBA. One would think it's pretty easy to ignore topics one isn't interested in. Hopefully the hockey thread is free from the same kind of posts. |
