Niners Fan in CT Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 The NBA and the other franchises don't only care about the finals. They need people to care about the regular season, the playoffs and most importantly their own teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffSnackwell Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 If there's any knock on these Warriors, it's that the union of Durant and the Warriors was consummated out of a mutual pity party both had over blowing 3-1 leads in last year's playoffs. I would've liked to have been a fly on the wall for the actual pitch to hear how much of it was "fuck Westbrook, he's holding you back" and how much was "let's fuck LeBron over."

The logic is why overpay for a couple stars when you are competing against all-star teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also nobody's made the point yet that the Mavs team LeBron originally failed to get the Heat over in the Finals weren't anything close to defending NBA Champs.

Niners Fan in CT Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Eh Well.. this is my stop. I haven't checked for Drake since well before Views and every track I've heard off More Life is complete garbage. Countdown to the draft begins now. See you all in the football folder.

Also nobody's made the point yet that the Mavs team LeBron originally failed to get the Heat over in the Finals weren't anything close to defending NBA Champs. The reason I left Houston and Dallas (and the Sixers team that won a title) out was because they were outliers. With the Rockets teams in the mid 90s (as good as they were) and certainly the Mavs, they were transitional champions. That 2011 Mavs team was just keeping the trophy warm for the Heat. The whole point being that a ton of teams don't have a legitimate chance to win a title in any given year. You could make an argument that the league was more competitive underneath except...those teams didn't beat the team that ending up being champion. This whole integrity of the game argument doesn't work simply because no one gives a damn. It isn't adversely affecting the game one bit. You're going to complain....and continue to watch. So why even bother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least those assholes waited until late in their career for mercenary ring hunting. They at least tried to win for themselves in their prime. and LeBron going to Miami was more like Garnett and Allen going to Boston than Durant to Golden State. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.K.o.S. Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Sounds like the sources on the White House snub story are iffy. Which doesn't mean it won't still end up happening. http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/06/13/will-the-warriors-give-trump-a-cold-shoulder/ The headlines were everywhere, with this “report” quoting this other ”report” about the team’s decision. None included quotes or attribution. Contacted by this news organization Tuesday morning, the Warriors issued a statement: “We have not been invited to the White House. Today is all about celebrating our championship. We will make those decisions when and if necessary.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't think you can establish degrees of "ring hunting". Everyone is trying to end up with the same exact outcome. The person cheating on a test who only copied the first few answers and failed can't get mad at the person who passed by copying the entire test. Copying only a few answers doesn't make it meritorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Okay, all the free agent talk can all go in the off-season thread. Congrats Dubs, your genius move of having Steph Curry be hurt during a contract year paid off again. Here's Drake to close the season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
