I can't believe JR Smith and Shumpert are NBA Champions. Gross.

Lebrons super team wins another. Shocking. We have another 4 or 5 years of this as well. What an epic collapse by the warriors. Worst in NBA history.

Barns sucks. He makes Smart look like an all pro offensive player. I would not take him for free.

I don't get this line of thinking at all. By my count, Draymond Green hit people in the nuts 4 times during these playoffs. I didn't even watch all of their games, there could have been even more than that.

He should have been suspended during the OKC series and quite honestly if after the 4th time he did it Silver suspended him for the rest of the finals I would have been ok with that. Not hitting people in the nuts at work is the bare minimum of acceptable behavior. The guy is a punk and deserved to be suspended and in my opinion got off easy.

This is an epic collapse from the Warriors. Can't remember any team falling off so quickly as they did. In February, they were the greatest team in history, in May, they were down 3-1 to OKC.

I'm sick to my stomach right now.



so glad that crowd of hating Celtics fans is providing me a full meal of tears right now. Sick of y'all hating.

Embrace greatness. You don't have to like him to respect him.


Glad you're enjoying yourself. Him being a great player was never questioned. It's great how people forget his actions. He basically left his high school sweetheart for a younger, better looking woman, then came back when the young chick lost the looks and people are like 'Oh, they're so in love'.

You don't know me, lol.

I know some things about them, and was very early on seeing that Curry was the truth and the best shooter ever, but am pretty ambivalent about rooting for or against them.

Was definitely for OKC and the Cavs in this last month.

Yeah I'm not even that mad, all season long people acted like the Cavs were garbage and the East didn't belong in the Finals.

Did Silver and the NBA just disrespect Russell? Didn't even let him present the MVP award,that bears his name, to the MVP....

The Dubs cockiness cost them in the end, stupid fancy passes resulting in turnovers and long 3's threw away a title.

No doubt.

Their players and fans talking so much sh-t to LeBron after having wrapped up Game 4 was also the biggest noob move of all time.

What the f--k were they thinking?

You don't have to get it, it's called big boy sports. I agree with you he probably should have been suspended against OKC, but not for the swipe as Lebron walked over him. Lebron wants to be tough and then get his calls for not kissing the ring. Back in the day that wouldn't be squat play on player. Bullsh*t.
