Read on Twitter


Zaza 1 ring, Javale 1 ring, Charles Barkley 0 rings. Loving it.


Charles is a first ballot HOF'er though, where I'm guessing it will take those two several years.

I do like McGee though. What if he ends up w/ more rings than Shaq?

I wonder how the public will receive the possibility that Lebron could have as many series losses in the Finals as Jordan had wins.

Yes he did. He cannot play 46 minutes at both ends like he used to. I can definitely understand why Cavs fans would want to deny this, but it's real. Not the same Lebron.



He had no help defensivley on this team. He's still a great defender. Bad series but really good season defensivley.


He still is a good defener. Not as good as he was a few season ago.

Completely meaningless. Jordan was a better player than Lebron, but there's no need for meaningless stats to justify that.

Bulls would get killed by these Warriors.

It would hurt LBJ's legacy more except for the win last year, to bring a chip to CLE like that I think sealed the deal with him going down as an all time great regardless. That chip was almost worth double, given the history and circumstances.

Garnet played his entire career to that point in the west. His teams barely made the playoffs and when they did they were out in the first round. I think he made the 2nd round once. Him finally leaving that team -- yes we were happy for him. I was happy he won a title although he never played for a team I rooted for.

Don't want to hear about Lebron's 60 win scrub teams. Or that Bosh/Lebron/Wade were not title favorites. Guess we were watching different NBAs.

Lebron will be back next year in the finals. He will force his team to spend spend spend. The problem is they spend but not correctly. He wants to own a team. Hope he finds some real talent professionals to put his team together. They have overpaid for so many of their players and also keep grabbing up these offensive players like the other side of court doesn't matter. I think their plan was to was to just outscore the Warriors. It didn't work this year.

Congrats Warriors. So happy for Durant that he won FMVP. So happy Curry had a great finals. So happy for the first time champions like West, Javelle, McCaw, Barnes, the rooks. I hope this team can stay together for the next few years. I love Livingston.. I think he is most in danger of the "core." but I have faith in mr. Meyers.

Meaning Garnett had no choice. Lebron suddenly left to create a superteam


Miami Heat was not a title contender and do you begrudge him for wanting to not play with a **** franchise anymore? What is more as I have already said outside of the "big 3" Miami's roster was paperthin, worse than what the Kobe/Shaq Lakers had.

This still changes nothing. Kevin Garnett had an equally talented "superteam" and just because he did not "chose" it does that change anything of the fact that he played with 3 all star level players?
If you're asking me who the Mavs best player is, I'd say Luka. A guy like Delon Wright probably rivals his impact though at this stage in his career. KP may as well if he gets his **** together.

The irony here is that Tigersrule trolls the Warriors as much as anyone on this board.

Will the Warriors be the first finals team to blow a 4-1 lead?

The only thing better than watching the Warriors win the title again would have been to watch it with you.

I don't know what would happen to me if I were a star athlete fielding those questions. The questions are so bad, that it's very difficult to be authentic and thoughtful in a response.

Nope. Someone is forgetting KG vetoed the trade to the Celtics until they traded for Ray, then he agreed to the trade. In essence KG was the one calling the shots and he is the one who wanted and got Ray as his team mate. The difference between KG and Lebron was age. If anything KG was like don't waste your prime on an incompetent organization.

LMAO, it would have been a sweep if the refs didn't come to the rescue.
