LeBron has the Midas touch for turning other players into douchebags the moment they’re on his team.

Reaves brought daggers to the game.

Got denver in 6 vs the Lakers.....probably one of the only teams with a very real home court advantage(altitude)....they got the size advantage....they're the better shooting team....and they have the best player in the series....Lakers have done well but i think this is the first time they're up against a team that's actually bigger than they are....they were bigger vs memphis.....way bigger vs golden state....that being said lebron shouldn't be counted out

What Miami has done is such a rarity. 9 times out of 10 you need two or 3 All-Stars to win a title. This will always be a superstars' league.

I got the Nuggets in 7. I believe whoever wins out west wins the title.

Another lakers vs celtics finals with one entire mounth of empty rethoric about 80s,tv rating,ecc.

if not for the draft i would cancel everything about nba until next season :roll:

i know that it is terrible to say,and i am not happy personally for the pain of players indeed,but the truth it is injuries save last nba seasons.
Silver and owners really preparing everything to be a big market champion exclusive,with few quality exceptions.

Imo super max contracts just work against small market teams. They sign star to keep him, than they have no money to sign anybody else, than they leave regardless.

Whole this summer will be about looming GIannis departure.

Owners , sponsors and nba makes most money when LAL and other biggest market teams win, lot of owners treat teams like firms, and only care about money, so it's good business for everybody when Lakers bribe their way into yet another championship.

Go back and look at trades they did in past 12 months. Those trades made apsolutley no sense for anybody involved but Lakers.

For example Magic giving up Bamba for second round pick and player they vaiwed.
Or Wizards giving up their lottery pick from 3 years ago for nothing.
Or Wolves giving up 27 yeras old allstar for 36 years old veteran.
Or Jazz giving up on whole season to help Lakers for allegedly, "playing younger players", who, they, btw, don't have ( or who's PT wasn't impacted by that trade )

If Lakers beat Nuggets i don't see any team from East beating them... And all those narratives and "storylines" nba will push once Lebron wins again

CP3 has shown to be always injured in the POs. Ayton just... fades away... So its basically Booker and KD with the massive anchor that is Ayton and CP3. If they don't want to implode, they better change those 2 to something..

They only need Booker, KD and high level role players. CP3 is not necessary. Ayton can be replaced by a tough C.

KD is.. 37??? How much is left in his tank? They need one more star.

Jokic, Warriors... etc The west is tough for just KD and Booker

new owner pushes for trade for Durant, guts the bench of the team, 1 key member gets hurt, and he feels like he has to do something

word is though is that isnt how he was in high school and college. Its like he is trying to create "street cred" now that he is a star, but if he doesnt straighten up its going to cost him his career.
