There, now you can hate the whole team, lol.

Mo is cool with me personally.

Lol wtf

But nah they just seem like good people. Mo is kind of a little bitch. I remember he called out LeBron when he left Cleveland and ran right into his arms first chance he could. Some players just don't deserve NBA rings and I feel like 95% of that roster fits the bill.

Nah, man. Draymond knew they were looking for any excuse and he gave it to them.

I'm upset that Lebron may win it all too, but this is GS' fault and Draymond getting suspended was 100% his fault. He knows how this **** works.

Does Draymond Green get suspended for game 7 if today he did the same **** he got suspended for game 5?
Of course not. End of story. They knew exactly what they were doing when they did that. Just like they knew exactly what they were doing not suspending him against OKC when things were looking bad enough for GS. Just like they know exactly what they are doing when they look away on what Curry did tonight.

Does Draymond get suspended if he stops falling for Lebron's obvious troll because he knows that all eyes are on him and that the league wants an extended series?

End of story.

it would make him a two-time winner.

5 times loser trumps 2 time winner in most cases.

We just don't get to forget he won twice. Winning matters. Winning is hard.

I'm not even a Lebron stan. I think he's goofy and self-absorbed. I also still refer to anyone bricking a shot in a clutch situation as "Lebroning it". I get it. I just think the hate is hilarious. People end up saying really foolish stuff that needs to be called out.

Warriors did play bad with some really foolish plays/passes but they just aren't the same team on D without Bogut and a hobbled Iggy. Bogut may get into foul trouble himself but he helps keep other players out of foul trouble. Iggy on the perimeter and Bogut getting it into James head that not everything at the rim will be easy. Right now too many drives to the basket are easy and it allows James and other players to gain confidence.

Bogut is not the same player he was a couple of years ago but once he went out, I thought the Cavs should try to attack the basket more since it may get an important player into foul trouble. If Iggy is a shell of himself like he was in this game due to injury, Cavs should be the favorite in game 7.

So he should have let LeBron teabag him because if he does anything the NBA will suspend him to help Cleveland tie the series? Lol ok. If you don't see anything wrong in that then idk what to tell you. Scripted finals man..scripted.

It's okay to laud and hate a person at the same time right? **** you, Lebron. Just wow.

I don't. Dude is **** lucky to be on this GS team where he could thrive. Shut the **** up, take an pride L for the team, and don't get suspended.

You're not Steph Curry.

I don't see what's particularly likable about these Warriors. I respect Green's intensity and their backcourt's scoring prowess and their team ball and I like Iggy and will always love the Latin Gary Payton (Barbosa), but there's plenty of douchery there. Once they started celebrating their teammates' 3ptfga in mid-air while on the court I was all set with contemplating if I had any special feelings for them. I'm not eager to see them stake a claim in the general public's mind as far superior to our '86 Celtics or anything.

Cleveland? If I forget about the human baby pussy that is Kevin Love they seem like a good enough bunch, lots of scragglers and hangers-on, Thompson works his tail off, and LeBron winning a ring for his hometown would be a nice story, and when in doubt am I the only one who roots for our conference?

30/11/9/3/2 on 50/40 shooting for LeBron through six games, and in this "Around the NBA" thread we've got posters telling us to **** off for saying anything complimentary about it. I've seen Magic, Larry, and Michael so it's not like I don't have high standards.

Golden State is the greatest team in regular season history. Some even branded them the GOAT team. If Lebron comes back from 3-1 to win a title against them in a game 7 on the road.... You need to start putting him in the GOAT discussion. As much as we may want to hate the guy. Hell, I don't like the guy, but Lebron haters in terms of his game shouldn't even exist. Even if he loses, it hasn't done his legacy any harm. He warrants that finals MVP bar Curry going for 60.

4 time loser trumps 2 time winner in most cases also. Doesn't change much. He loses more than he wins. He has overpowered buddy ball teams and he still gets his ass handed to him more often than not. He can thank Ray Allen for not being a big 1 and 6 come Sunday night when the Warriors hand him his ass again.

He's in the GOAT discussion regardless. He's a unreal basketball player and his individual numbers are second to none. Nobody can ever question that. What plp will question if he loses
Sunday is how he has managed to lose so much in the finals. No other great has lost so many times.

Pride cometh before a fall.

Probably the most arrogant team and fanbase in recent memory.

They need some Belichick up in that bitch to give fake compliments about the Cavs until Game 7.

Brun all of us Tom Brady fans should've realized by now that losing in the Finals (or SB) is actually >> losing in any round prior to the Finals (or SB). I mean, **** the Giants, but it is. If LeBron were going for ring 4 or 5 instead of 3 he'd be closer to GOAT status, no doubt, just like Tom was *that close* to being the GOAT in football -- but there's a reason there's not usually an obvious GOAT because people've been playing this sport a long time by now and only one man's ever gone 6-0 in the Finals .... and only another one 11-0.

tldr sorry if no one's perfect and i don't know why you like the Warriors.
