Vincey Greene Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I don't think anybody minds OKC making it; Durant is a Face of the Franchise type guy. Toronto would be a problem. Also LOL at the concept of Toronto winning that series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Cameron Payne has that early 90s Jimmy Hart babyface run level of punchability to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Well, tonight ended the debate whether these Warriors are better than the 96 Bulls. MVP Curry with a Jordanesque -39 performance tonight. I think the debate over what happens to KD in the off-season pretty much ended too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie M. Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 If there's one thing I've learned about OKC is that one game means nothing. Maybe they'll be on again next game, maybe they won't. Who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Fuck Draymond Green. If the rationale to not suspend Draymond is that it'll hand the series to the Thunder than can everyone shut up about Curry being the GOAT? (I'm fully expecting the league not to suspend Draymond claiming that it was not intentional and possibly rescinding the flagrant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I've seen Ric Flair hit low blows that were less intentional than Draymond's. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I'm sure most people have seen this already, but at least we can say this resulted in the funniest sports picture I've seen in a long time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuetsar Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 He's lucky he's playing now and not 25 years ago. Karl Malone or Bill Laimbeer would have knocked his cheap shoting ass out. . . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, if the Cavs 14th man gets a game off for a cup check, this should at least be the same, if not more. And yeah, it sucks having suspensions decide your season, but as someone who lived through Heat-Knicks '98, fuck him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Doubly so because it's the second time in as many games. I wonder what percentage of his actions are motivated by the post-game comments from Adams after game 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I fully bought the first one as an accident at the time. This one, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuetsar Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Even if it was an accident, who gives a shit? You do that "accidentally" or not, your ass should sit down. Or if he plays, the Thunder player who uses Street justice on his ass shouldn't be suspended either. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this bullshit move doesn't get him suspended, which it won't, they absolutely should go this route at this dude. If this would have happened when the Bad Boys played Kuestar is absolutely right. This would have been a non issue because Green wouldn't even be able to walk right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Hell, even if he gets suspended, someone should kick Curry in the nuts. Because. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.E., if you kick someone in the groin, you'll probably get suspended even if it is accidental because the league feels it's an unsafe play that could injure someone. BTW, I had First Take on at the office this morning (I know....). At lunch, our office manager asked me what movie I was watching. She thought I had a horror or disaster movie on. She couldn't make out what was being said. She just heard a lot of screaming, Lol, Screaming A was complaining just last week that his nickname is somewhat undeserved because there are more than a couple white sportscasters who scream just as much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Karl brings the cheap elbow and we get a bunch of guys pretending to throw punches/rassle. Is this where I bust out the Rock eye roll gif? Or Metta elbowing Harden? Look at Charles at the start of that "brawl" with Laimbeer. He's leaning back with his arm extended so he doesn't get clocked! Don't get me wrong, I love the first half of the '90s NBA. But, I think the Bulls and that entire era have taken on a mythical status that is just absurd. Like, they would perfectly adapt to any scenario in time and shit. The Warriors broke their record at a time when there is great talent throughout the league. The Sixers and Lakers are the only hideously shitty teams in the league right now and Warriors lost to one of them while still breaking the record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
