Well then I just feel sad for them.


I thought Lebron ripped the sleeves on those tshirts? Maybe the NBA forced them to wear to keep it close (given games 5 and 6?)


He ripped them earlier in the season, but I think they altered LeBron's jersey to make the sleeves looser. They've done well in them since.

James went for 41 points on 16-of-30 shooting in a 112–97 win over the Warriors on Monday night. In sleeved jerseys this year, LeBron is now 6–0 with an average of 32.1 points, 9.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game on 54.2% shooting.

Poor Klay, look what happens when you disrespect a KING:
Game 5: 41pts/16rbs/7asts
Game 6: 41pts/8rbs/11asts
Game 7: 27pts/11rbs/11asts

Is Lebron James the best GM in the NBA?

Harrison Barnes is a bum. I feel redeemed we took Ross over him. But i'm still disappointed we didn't take Drummond.

I never watched Jordan but I have to imagine this is the exhilaration felt when watching one of the greatest of all time at his best. I'm happy for Lebron.

hard to believe this guy is only 31....he's been playing in the NBA for 13 years! Most guys are basically done at that point, this guy just keeps impressing, say what you want about him...whoever thought he was on the decline?

:lol: are you crazy??? Warriors would be unstoppable if they manage to add Durant to an already historically great team. Let's not forget Curry, Iggy, Bogut were all hurt this series. Curry barely has a shell of his former self this season since he got hurt.


How old are you? Just wondering.

20; nice distraction though. If you think GSW wouldn't get better with Durant you're crazy. If they get Durant they would have the best offensive team of all time. Good luck matching up with Curry Thompson and Durant not to mention Green. That's 4 guys who shoot 40+ from 3 and have to ability to drive as well. They could play a corpse at Center and still be great. Imagine the death lineup but with Green/Durant a PF and C; it would be game over.


You gotta have balance on a team. You can;t juat have all the same shooters on the team. Durant is a volume shooter who needs to get into a rhythm which means he needs to take lots of shots. The shots he takes are the ones that are taken away from Curry and Klay and then they are less effective because they are out of rhythm. And Durant is a bad defender. Whos' gonna stop the other team from scoring. The Warriors problem is definately not scoring so what is Duran gonna add to thier offense that they don't have now?
